I saw a preview of this film yesterday. Absolutely terrifying, yet with a clear message of hope if we heed the warnings. See it if you possibly can.

Dear Shabana, I notice today that you referred to me in your speech on immigration at the IPPR think tank. You said: “A party leader should not be on the beaches of France encouraging people to make a perilous crossing on small boats.” I suppose I shouldn’t be surprised especially after the hateful Labour campaign in Gorton and Denton, but this is just the latest in a string of lies peddled by a discredited Government who intentionally fan the flames of racism and division. When I went to Calais, I was not there to encourage people to travel to the UK. I was there to see at first hand the suffering your Government and successive Governments have done in demonising migrants in a pathetic bid to pander to the base instincts of Reform and the flawed strategy of Morgan McSweeney. As you will know, if you even bothered to research my visit instead of taking Reform talking points, I was there to witness the brutality of families living in tents in freezing temperatures. I filled water tanks and picked up litter. What that visit did do is confirm my belief that if we are to smash the boat gangs and stop the boats, we need to offer safer and managed routes for migrants to come to this country. Showing compassion as a politician is not a crime. In fact, we need to see much more of it. It reminded me of a young MP who in October 2015 spent three days in Lesbos helping migrants fleeing war-torn Syria. She posted videos on X, talked about handing out water and croissants to refugees and food parcels. When she returned to the UK, she wrote a very moving piece in the New Statesman. She said “we have to work with our European partners and create new, safe, and legal routes for refugees to get to Europe. We cannot abandon them to their fate, left as prey for smugglers whilst risking death on the seas.” She said “maybe we can make ourselves feel better by saying no-one is making them get on the boats. And again, the Home Secretary is not entirely wrong when …

Dear Shabana,

Let's clear some things up around migration and remember we're talking about people's lives.

Effects of climate change on health in the United Kingdom - Wikipedia

Learn more about the health impacts of climate change in the UK!

The UKHACC has been a proud contributor to this #Wikipedia page! The idea is to create awareness and reduce the spread of misinformation regarding climate change and how it impacts our health!

This week we published our report on the work we’ve been doing at Great Western Hospitals to demonstrate what can be achieved when IPC and Sustainability teams work together formally. Do have a read of our rather eye-catching (at least I think so!) report: www.gwh.nhs.uk/media/aakj2u...

We all think plastic pollution is a problem, and it is. In the nearly 70 years between 1950 and 2019, the world produced a total of ~9.5 billion tonnes of plastic.

But all the plastic we have EVER produced weighs as much as CO₂ we emitted into the atmosphere during the first three months of 2024!

I’m both delighted and proud that the Infection Prevention Society is a signatory to this letter. The health impacts of climate change are truly terrifying.

We're not going to terraform Mars, but we're doing a good job of venusforming Earth.
