Health inequalities won't be solved until everybody is in the room. Black communities must be involved in developing #HIV services so they address the needs of the populations they cater to, and can reach current and potential users.

Skegness, one of your absolute finest people right here. Buy her a drink whenever you see her.
Excellent response for our local Labour team (including Crawley MP @PeterKLamb and Langley Green & Tushmore councillors Alison Cornell, Imran Ashraf, and Tahira Rana), who spent the morning/afternoon speaking with local residents in Langley Green.
Marks and Spencer was founded by Michael Marks (מיכאל מאַרקס) a Yiddish-speaking refugee from Belarus. Few of his original colleagues spoke much English. I imagine they faced a lot of racism, but not, thankfully for them, from employees of @GBNEWS.
Really sad to hear Ozzy Osbourne has died. A big part of my formative years.
Hey @bhlabour @BellaSankey I’ve been melting in the heat but I’ve not shrunk…. These massive bins are great and a big step up from our smaller seafront ones… (and it’s much cleaner here than last year with tiny tiny ones … )

It’s all kicking off in the Foscani food court… my money is on the Spartans…

Today on #ZeroHIVStigmaDay, we tackle ignorance with facts. You can’t get HIV from hugs, sharing drinks, kissing or even using the same toilet 💡 U=U: Undetectable = Untransmittable. Let’s end stigma. #UequalsU #EndHIVStigma
From planning for 1.5 million homes to a generational boost in social housing, improving building safety and fixing flawed tenures, Labour’s first year in office has marked a step change in addressing the housing crisis. redbrickblog.co.uk/2025/07/so-wha…
Today is the last day to have your say on proposals for the future of local government in Essex. There are two options on the table: 🗣️A three-council model which would see Southend residents saddled with Thurrock Council's debt. 🗣️A five-council model, which wouldn't.
Today marks the annual Tolpuddle Martyrs Festival We honour the legacy of six brave workers who stood up for their rights and sparked a movement. The CSP is proudly affiliated with the festival. Learn more: ow.ly/P8k250Wr1O3
Definite improvement (not that it would have been hard after all the Green neglect)
Whilst there is a real issue over local recruitment freezes, it is important not to assume this is more than it bad local decision making in some places. Remember demand for physios is still growing and there are also services desperate to recruit. END.
Obviously this is bad for those affected but it has a bigger impact in physios because of the folk memory of centralises NHS decisions to stop recruiting in the past - and its impact on a generation of physios, many fo whom are today in senior roles. more
