This might be brushed off but with the resurgence of the far right, regressive attitudes towards the LGBT+ community and homophobia on the rise, a PM publicly taking an HIV test is an important thing to do. This would have been unthinkable 30 years ago. Credit where it’s due.
Taking a HIV test is quick, easy, and can be done at home. Prime Minister @Keir_Starmer was joined by @Beverleyknight and the Terrence Higgins Trust @THTorguk to take a rapid HIV home test. #HIVTestingWeek

Starmer taking an HIV test has achieved something: we now know how utterly clueless people are about HIV. 1. Heterosexuals can get HIV 2. HIV stigma and fear prevent people from testing. 3. But testing means getting treatment if required 4. Effective treatment makes the virus

There's nothing else for it THE GREAT BRITISH BISHOP OFF 1. Preach Week. All bishops to offer their signature homily, exegesis on a surprise Bible verse hidden under the red gingham, and a showstopper full-length sermon. One to be crowned Star Bishop, another to leave the tent

I want people to understand that there are books about everything. You didn’t like your literature classes in school, but loved trains? There are books about trains! There are books about dinosaurs and clocks and cars. Everyone is a reader. They just need to find the right book.

This is Dunkin. He will not take a bath without his bear ear headband. Partly because it keeps his face dry, and partly because it helps him feel brave. 12/10

They should build a separate grocery store for people who have actually purchased food before, know how to push a cart, and possess at least an ounce of spatial awareness.

Doors open in 5 minutes. Everyone, this is Dylan. Dylan, this is everyone. Dylan loves books, but he couldn't eat a whole one. Actually that's a lie, he definitely could. His proudest achievement is that he's a Very Good Dog. #DogsInBookshops

Happy birthday to Ivor The Engine, the little Welsh railway engine from the Merioneth and Llantisilly Rail Traction Company, who first chugged onto our screens today in 1959. Toot-toot! 🚂 #onthisday #wales
