There were 33k asylum seekers in hotels at the last count, far fewer than 56k peak in Sep23. Main difference now is the political temperature.

Think this has gone under-the-radar - and it shouldn't. #NHS trust apologises over huge breast service failings. There'll be women out there who've had more extensive surgery than they needed or not been offered reconstructions. @ChronicleLive chroniclelive.co.uk/news/health/nh…

The NUJ echoes @IFJGlobal's call. According to IFJ records, at least 173 Palestinian journalists have been killed in the last 21 months. The IFJ’s Safety Fund provides vital equipment and medical packs for journalists, including in Gaza. Donate: ifj.org/safety-fund

#Palestine🇵🇸: [24.07.2025] Walaa Al Jabari & Tamer Rabhi Rafiq Al Za'anin are the latest of 173 journalists killed in #Gaza since 7 October 2023. Israel's impunity cannot continue. The perpetrators of crimes against journos must be tried before the ICC. ➡️ifj.org//media-centre/…

Northern regions have some of the poorest diets in England, putting people at risk of obesity, high blood pressure & other preventable diseases. New @The_NHSA @_HENorth report with major input from Fuse calls for urgent action to tackle food #inequality⬇️ fuse.ac.uk/news/starkregi…

chroniclelive.co.uk/news/north-eas… Think this feels really important - and as Si King says - very stark.

For two years, two govts used a secret court to hide the truth: they put 100,000 Afghans at risk of death. They used constitutionally unprecedented methods to prevent reporting.
