Every day in hospitals across the country, corridor care is putting both NHS patients and staff at major risk.

Lifesaving investment in NHS beds and social care is urgently needed to end this crisis once and for all.

"Very poor white people” are being convinced that “very poor, hard-working brown or Black people” are responsible for the “problems caused by billionaire white men”, Allison Morris, Crime Correspondent at the Belfast Telegraph, says in the wake of the riots that spread through the capital of Northern Ireland overnight.

[Dr Ellie Chowns MP @EllieChowns]

The UK govt's piecemeal sanctions and "guidance" regarding illegal settlements in Palestine are simply not enough.

We need genuine action in the face of repeated war crimes and abuses by the Israeli govt - sanctions on senior Israeli govt officials & a ban on settlement trade.

Some things just don't fit:

A square peg in a round hole.

The jeans you wore in high school.

First Past the Post when there are more than two parties.

It's time to stop trying to force it and move on. It's time for Proportional Representation.

Patient attends A&E with a chest infection… standard stuff.

Decides to pop outside for a vape and a bit of fresh air because, let’s be honest, the waiting room atmosphere could finish anyone off quicker than the illness.

Next minute… casually clocks a bloke acting a bit off outside the maternity ward.
Not aggressive, not shouting… just that “something’s not right here” vibe every frontline worker knows all too well.

So what does he do?
Doesn’t walk away.
Doesn’t ignore it.

Goes over for a chat.

Two hours later…

🧠 Talked down a “lone wolf” terrorist
🎒 Convinced him to open the bag (yeah… that bag)
💣 Found himself staring at a pressure cooker bomb
📏 Asked about blast radius like he’s doing a dynamic risk assessment
🚪 Moved the whole situation away from the hospital entrance
🤝 Built enough trust to keep the bloke calm
🤗 Given him a hug when asked
📞 Got him to agree to call police before he “changed his mind”

All while his own phone’s dead and there’s not a single staff member in sight to wave over.

Genuinely the most British de-escalation imaginable:
“Alright mate… talk to me… what’s going on?”

No PPE.
No backup.
No radio.
Just vibes, empathy, and absolute nerves of steel.

Meanwhile inside:
Crews stacked 8 deep
Handover delays hitting biblical levels
Someone asking “can you clear please” every 30 seconds

And this guy is outside single-handedly preventing a mass casualty incident like it’s just another shift problem.

Police turn up, job gets wrapped up, and he just wanders back in like:
“Yeah I’m back… still got that chest infection by the way.”

Probably still had to wait for discharge as well.

Massive respect though.
That’s not luck, that’s character. Calm under pressure, compassion when it mattered most.

George Medal couldn’t have gone to a more deserving person.

Proof that sometimes the difference between a normal day and a major incident…
…is just one person deciding to step forward instead of walking away 🚑

Great video by @RichardJMurphy explaining why Britain's voting system leads to:

✔️ Millions of unrepresented voters
✔️ Loss of trust in democracy and greater risk of radicalisation
✔️ A toxic political culture
✔️ Worse policies

It's time to see past our differences and remember what connects us.

When we realise where our strength lies - in each other - that's when change happens.

As we stare down these energy price shocks, we need to ask: why is the price of *all* electricity largely set by gas-fired power stations? This rigged system needs to change.

Today, I wrote to Ed Miliband MP asking that we break the link between gas and electricity prices.

[Richard Murphy @RichardJMurphy]

Why are UK electricity prices so high? https://t.co/8g4G0ZYI8w

Truth

[Richard Murphy @RichardJMurphy]

I am tired.

Tired of war.

Tired of anger.

Tired of death.

Tired of lives lost.

Tired of hope destroyed.

Tired of unnecessary grief.

Tired of the destruction of well-being.

Tired of forced migration.

Tired of tears.

Tired of children living in tents, denied the childhood they deserve.

I am tired of the political excuses offered for war.

I am tired of racial hatred.

I am tired of human lust for power wrapped up in theocracy.

I am tired of talk of defence that excuses aggression.

I am tired of biased reporting

I am tired of being told that people who have died on one side of a dispute are lives lost and that on the other, they are just killed.

I am tired of a failure to recognise that any life lost unnecessarily is just that: it is a life lost unnecessarily.

I am tired of the belief that war will ever solve anything.

I am tired of the assumption that after war everything will go back to normal.

I am tired of the cost of conflict always being borne by anyone but those who started it.

I am tired of those who think we don’t have a duty of care to everyone, whoever they are, wherever they come from, whatever they believe, whatever their skin colour, whatever their gender, whatever their age.

I am tired of those who think that others don’t matter.

Most of all, I am tired of those who destroy hope,

I live in hope.

Hope of a better day.

Hope of a better life for everyone.

Hope that I might live to see that.

Hope that everyone might then share hope.

Is that too much to hope for?
