Last year, the NHS spent £3.6bn on clinical negligence claims – 42% of this was on maternity claims.

Sky's @laurabundock speaks to a father who suffered from PTSD, following the death of his baby, and is now campaigning for changes to the NHS' clinical negligence claim system.

@GMB I am currently in the process of potty training my daughter, she's just turned 3. She is my 3rd child, and my first two were a breeze, even in comparison to my first child who has a disability. She starts pre school in September and she'll need to be ready.

If Reform wins, Drakeford confirms Plaid, the Greens and Labour will block them taking power. Welsh democracy does not work.

@BasilTheGreat "That's it" she says, like it's a very simple change to the law. Beggars belief.

In the UK it is LEGAL to abort an unborn baby just 1 hour before it is born

I don't know how anyone can defend this

[Caroline Farrow @CF_Farrow]

I could not be more ashamed of the dystopian hellhole this once great country has become. 🇬🇧

Kill your 39 week old baby and bury the body. ✅ LEGAL

Use the wrong pronouns, hurty words or criticise the wrong religion . CRIME ❌ 👮‍♂️🚔

Tonight the House of Lords will vote on an Abortion Bill allowing termination up to birth. Murdering a perfectly legitimate beautiful life. We have fallen to new depths of depravity if this is passed. 💔

[Samantha Smith @SamanthaTaghoy]

Labour is trying to distract us from this:

Today, the House of Lords is voting on a Government bill which would allow abortion UP TO BIRTH.

This is what a newborn baby looks like.
This is who Labour is trying to kill.

[Renée Hoenderkamp @DrHoenderkamp]

Only a few days left to tell the government what you think about them yet again lowering the emission for wood burners by 4/5.

They are asking for sweeping powers to be able to enter your home, fine you up to £2000 a time and accumulate fines for 'repeat offenders'.

Please do take your time (5 mins) to give them your view. I just did!!

Let me tell you one of the actions that is going on.

I come in to work daily now to a pile of rejected scans and referrals. Rejected for reasons I don’t agree with, hindering me doing my job and inconveniencing patients. Every single day.

This is in my opinion an instruction to help slow up referrals.

My take on Lewis Hamilton’s TERRIBLE Africa comments.

[Stan Voice of Wales @StanVoWales]

AN OPEN LETTER TO LEWIS HAMILTON

Mr Hamilton,

You have recently spoken about Britain’s past and suggested that the country should consider returning land in Africa as some form of historical reckoning.

Before making such sweeping statements, it might be worth revisiting the full history — not just the fashionable fragments that circulate on social media.

Slavery was not invented by Britain. It existed for millennia across the ancient world — in empires from Rome to the Middle East and Africa. By the time Britain emerged as a maritime power, slave trading networks already stretched across continents.

The Atlantic trade itself involved multiple participants. African rulers and traders captured and sold prisoners to European merchants on the coast. It was an ugly system, but it was also an international one.

What is often omitted from modern lectures about history is that Britain became the first major power to turn against the trade. Parliament passed the 1807 Act abolishing the slave trade, and the Royal Navy then spent decades enforcing that decision.

The West Africa Squadron patrolled thousands of miles of coastline. Sailors died from disease and from gunfire while intercepting slave ships. In doing so they liberated tens of thousands of people who would otherwise have been carried into bondage.

Many of those liberated Africans were settled in Sierra Leone. The capital was named Freetown for a reason.

There are also chapters rarely mentioned today. When Napoleon restored slavery in French territories after it had been abolished, it was British power that ultimately helped end those systems again.

There is also the matter of the enormous compensation loan taken by the British state when slavery was abolished across the empire — a debt British taxpayers continued servicing for generations.

None of this erases the suffering of those enslaved. But it does mean the story is far more complex than the simple narrative often presented today.

So before condemning Britain wholesale, perhaps a moment might be taken to acknowledge the sailors who fought the slave traders and the role Britain played in shutting down the Atlantic system.

A fitting tribute would be support for a memorial to those men who served and died enforcing abolition.

History deserves honesty — not slogans.

Yours sincerely

[Nigel Farage MP @Nigel_Farage]

Iran fires ballistic missiles towards Cyprus, home to a RAF base, yet the Defence Secretary says they “were not targeting the island.”

Really? Does John Healey think Iran just accidentally fired ballistic missiles in that direction? This Labour government is totally rudderless.
