@Karenhi80410425 @drsanjoykumar I think it has been indoctrinated by media promotion of you do you social values, undermining our social bonds with other citizens

If you're gloating over the murder of Ann Widdecombe, you need a psychiatrist more than an audience. Here on #Dartmoor there is shock, sadness and anxiety about how such a brutal attack could take place on a defenceless, elderly woman in one of England's safest places.

So well said Sir!

1/2. Official figures say there are 1,393 cilliní. #Galway reportedly has the highest concentration of recorded #cillíní in the country. Below is just one of those where my aunt Mary-Ann was buried in 1933. She was laid to rest in a whitewashed

@Ahpra need to fundamentally change their stance and walk away from @ACONhealth

Controversial take: We need to start doing more hard drive checks. Anyone who works with vulnerable people should be subject to one as part of the application process. The same goes for elected officials once they win the vote, law enforcement applicants, and anyone who works around people who are going to be sedated.

The family court doesn’t just fail mothers and children.
When the system uses its own rules to punish women for protecting, to force unsafe contact, and to silence truth, it stops being a court of law, and becomes something far more dangerous. The System Is The Weapon: https://t.co/fX4MLiTn5h

Shocking that anaesthetic or sedation are not offered routinely for this…I had one 15 years ago and woke up in agony. God knows what it would have been like DURING if I’d been awake…

How can anyone defend this? There’s something deeply wrong in the admission then that the prisons ARE full of dangerous people we do not want on the street. Covid- temp hospitals- built in weeks. We NEED a radical alternative to releasing all thesemonsters https://t.co/d5scyGZv3d

COUNCIL FINDS THOUSANDS OF VULNERABLE PEOPLE AT RISK THEN SUSPENDS THE MEN WHO SAID SO

A follower reached out to me asking for help exposing a cover up involving their own family and put thousands of vulnerable people at risk. What they told me matches a story already breaking in Northumberland.

Northumberland County Council @N_landCouncil runs Northumberland Fire and Rescue Service @NlandFRS.

In 2024 an internal report found 4,347 home safety checks and 511 referrals had never been dealt with.

Many were for elderly and disabled people, referred by agencies including the NHS because they were at real risk.

One case was a woman dying of cancer with an oxygen tank in her home. Firefighters were meant to visit within 48 hours. It took 7 to 8 months.

Two senior officers spoke up about it. Deputy Chief Fire Officer Jim McNeil and Chief Fire Officer Graeme Binning.

Within weeks both were suspended. The council said it was over a workplace culture review, but refused to release it for over a year, only handing it over once Freedom of Information requests made refusing any longer impossible.

McNeil told BBC North East @BBCNEandCumbria his suspension letter never actually named him in any specific complaint, just vague accusations thrown at him all at once. He retired rather than fight a process he didn't trust. He calls it being made the scapegoat to cover up how bad things really were.

Binning left too, and the council has never explained why.

The review used to justify both suspensions is also being questioned. People say there was no way to tell how many different staff actually made complaints, so the same handful of people could have been counted many times over.

The company that carried out the review is a regular council contractor, paid hundreds of thousands of pounds over the years. A separate official fire service inspection carried out before this review is said to paint a very different picture.

In April 2025 fire inspectors formally warned Northumberland after finding only 37 out of 478 high risk properties had been properly checked. A new inspection report is due out next weeks. More staff beyond McNeil and Binning are believed to have left over the same issues. ITV News Tyne Tees @itvtynetees has also covered the suspensions.

The council's response has stayed the same throughout. Won't comment on individual staff matters. Still hasn't explained who let 4,347 safety checks for vulnerable people go undone, or why the two men who found that out are no longer in their jobs.

[Dr Sanjoy Kumar @drsanjoykumar]

Thank you to the three young brave and honourable soldiers
for apprehending this evil man.
Lads next time the walk to the Thames is two minutes, down the road, should have just chucked him overboard. It’s what he deserves, the Police didn’t do better letting him out. Terrible service by the police.
despicable creature……….how dare you.

@euanmccolm @AmnestyUK @scotonsunday Thanks for writing this, Euan. When I've been lucky enough to meet some of these women my experience has been the same. Really, deeply impressive. Good people doing remarkable work. Shame on Amnesty for what it's done to itself.

Lovely piece. Amnesty has no idea who and what it is defaming.

[Liberal Voice for Women @LibVoice4Women]

@MandiganA @Hilary_Cass @jamesmurray_ldn The number of discrepancies between the Review and what Cass is now saying to parliamentarians is deeply worrying. It is not based on any new clinical evidence. It's understandable when new evidence emerges people may change their mind, but that's not what is happening here...

BREAKING: Jennifer Melle, a Christian nurse who was investigated, suspended, disciplined and referred to the Nursing and Midwifery Council (NMC) after declining to use a convicted paedophile patient’s preferred pronouns has written to government ministers demanding urgent national guidance for the NHS.

In February, Jennifer, who has been supported by the Christian Legal Centre, met with Bridget Phillipson and health minister, Karin Smyth, in parliament.

Jennifer was told that no nurse should be punished for using incorrect pronouns in the NHS. However, guidance from Jennifer's own Trust and the NMC say that doing so is a disciplinary issue.

This has to be resolved.

See more Jennifer's letter to the government calling for urgent action and see below a letter from @ClaireCoutinho to the Trust👇

On a videophone call through a sign language interpreter, I was told they had a senior deaf black cat who used sign language at the shelter. Because of age and deafness, they will euthanize her unless someone adopted her. I had already been pre-approved to adopt.

I arrived and...

it wasn't a cat.

It was a dog!

I signed to her, and she signed back, but she was clearly frightened and overwhelmed. My heart knew I could not leave her there.

At home with her I quickly realized...she wasn't deaf either!

I did some digging; the previous owner was a deaf woman in Houston. She had passed away.

That "deaf black cat" turned out to be a hearing black dog who knows signs.

And that's how Luna Lovegood became part of our family.
