On Monday, the Covid Inquiry begins hearings on the impact of the pandemic on children.
Children were killed by Covid. Many were left bereaved. A generation lost parents, had their education torn apart, and grew up with trauma.
The Inquiry must deliver for them.

Many thanks to James Luckey, editor of Concrete and Claire Ackerman, CEO of the Concrete Society for inviting me to write the article to help members of The Concrete Society understand what DPPs will mean for them.
The article covers:
How will DPPs will assist construction and infrastructure
How DPPs improve on Environmental Product Declarations (EPDs)
How identifiers might work with mass materials
How DPPs will be introduced
What manufacturers need to do now (and what they don’t need to do).
Digital Product Passports and Concrete:
Concrete, the magazine of The Concrete Society has published an article by me about Digital Product Passports and Concrete. You can download it from my blog here: www.justpractising.com/the-future/d...

He chose to blame the victims families apparently
What a f*king liar Matt Hancock is. They forced them to take infected patients back from hospitals, and killed 46,000 people. A lot of support? What support? They called the police!
For Matt Hancock
When you are being asked about the lie regarding the "protective ring" resulting in the deaths of thousands of care home residents, it's not a good look to attack their bereaved families.
I look forward to you recanting the statement and issuing us all an apology
❤️❤️❤️
No one is listening to us
Matt Hancock not only made things up during his stint as health secretary during the COVID pandemic - “protective ring around care homes” anyone? - he also made things up when previously giving evidence under oath to the Covid inquiry. How will he lie and deflect when he gives evidence again today?

And then they quote Stephen Pollard in the paper review. Oh the irony
At least that’s what BBC Radio 4 news is telling me. The chants were top of the news bulletin. The deaths, once again, were not.
So apparently it’s ok to kill hundreds of civilian men, women and children to “reach your goals in Gaza” but it’s not okay to stand on the stage at a pop concert and wish death on the soldiers who are doing this?
If you have watched the NETFLIX documentary #GrenfellUncovered.
I’ve been studying the tragedy since 4am on that fateful June morning from the point of view of a construction professional.
Happy to answer any questions to the best of my ability.

I know this is a very niche post but there's been a lot of love for my Blackburn prints
In an anti immigration rant, instead of acknowledging that the NHS would collapse without foreign workers who are 19% of the NHS work force
Nigel Farage flips the script and says we should be ashamed of hiring foreign workers
When actually, we should be grateful for these immigrants
A very simple diagram showing radar, a chaff cloud, a confused missile and an airplane. The confused missile is aiking for the chaff cloud and not the airplane.
THE CHAFF PROJECT
Hi! Are you cis in the UK and you'd like to support trans rights? Great!
How: buy a trans flag pin and wear it in public.
Why: chaff is an overwhelming amount of false positives so that when a missile gets close to the plane, it hits the chaff and not the plane.
Been wearing various for a while. Whenever I’m in public
Peston making it up as he goes along here, talking about "rules" that will be issued by the EHRC "and that's it." They're *guidelines* not rules, and they don't need to be followed. As usual, really shoddy journalism re: the "trans issue."
Larry David writing a NYT guest essay as a man having dinner with Hitler, just to roast Bill Maher as a smug, self-important clown, is the stuff of comedy legend.

Gary Lineker tells the truth about Gaza - and absolutely humiliates the British media

Biggest commitment to a 3 second joke I've ever seen
Those trying to understand the tariffs as economic policy are dangerously naive.
No, the tariffs are a tool to collapse our democracy. A means to compel loyalty from every business that will need to petition Trump for relief.
1/ A 🧵 to explain his plan and how we fight back.
If the American journalist she calls to ask a question instead, who responds by saying yeah I’d like you to answer the Brit’s question, is ever in a London pub we’re definitely buying him a drink yes
This is absolutely hilarious.
Russell Brand shares fake redacted file claiming that Penelope Keith shot JFK.
Clearly didn't read it.
Mind you, it's no madder than some of the other theories.
Morning all. Just arrived at BlueSky. If you know me (and see this) please say hello and drop me a friend request. Thanking you.
