"we will provide further details of expected delays"
But it's said the same for weeks and they've never bothered to update it to say how bad the delays are. Such a disgrace.

🌍 Building new roads is absolutely the wrong thing to do in a #ClimateEmergency
🚛 Roads increase traffic, noise, air pollution and carbon emissions
💰 The 5 largest road schemes in the pipeline as part of #RIS2 all have weak economic cases and will cost £16BILLION! @StopRIS2

A tunnel connecting Kent and Essex under the Thames estuary. 14.3 miles of new road and widening of the A2 and M2 in Kent
This will bring a massive increase in emissions and loss of wildlife and surrounding natural areas

How has your team’s GK performed?
#Pickford’s class shot stopping & distribution puts him top 🏴
#Pope, #Henderson, & #Leno have had great starts at their new clubs🧤
Big mistakes have cost #DeGea & #Ramsdale 😱

The GK xG model shown above looks at every shot faced, pass received, cross faced & through ball faced & calculates the probability of a goal occurring for & against the GK’s team before the event & after the event occurs!
Thus it measures & evaluates every action a GKs makes!
Thus it measures & evaluates every action a GKs makes!
This allows all GKs to be given a single number measured in goals called
“Total Value in Goals”
Which describes the GK’s value to their side vs having a league average GK & takes into account everything they do meaning GKs of vastly different styles can be fairly compared!

El debut de Phillipe Coutinho en @AVFCOfficial fue soñado y no pasó desapercibido para los managers de @OfficialFPL , en este hilo veremos varios aspectos a tener en cuenta antes de comprar al Brasileño. #FPL #FPLenespañol
Por un valor de £7.0M Philippe ya es el jugador más transferido para la GW 23 (251.460 transferencias al momento de hacer el hilo) con tan solo 22 minutos jugados, 1 gol anotado y 6pts en total que parecen ser suficientes para que muchos managers apuesten por el Brasileño.
Desde la llegada de Gerrard el Aston Villa ha mejorado considerablemente, la inclusión de Coutinho en el esquema de Steve ya se veia prometedora pero sin duda la gran actuación del Brasileño de cara al fixture favorable de su equipo lo hacen una apuesta tentadora.

Romain Faivre’s evolved role as a centrally-positioned playmaker is noteworthy. He recorded 2 Assists, 4 Shot Creating Actions and 2 Goal Creations against PSG yesterday.
#Faivre #Brest #Ligue1 #FootballAnalytics #DataAnalytics
#Faivre #Brest #Ligue1 #FootballAnalytics #DataAnalytics
Faivre is an excellent progressor of the ball. He switched between LM and RM last season, and thrived by making penetrating carries into the final third. His ability to break lines in combination with a strong defensive output will make him an exciting number 10 for Brest.
I see a lot of commentary about the @NHSEngland paper on the future of integrated systems. Here is a perspective based on what is happening NOW rather than on some conceptual future - a hugely exciting agenda and one that is right in front of you @WYHpartnership
The paper recognises the role of LAs and the #NHS on the BROADER DETERMINANTS of health, including the economy, the environment, housing. Between @LeedsCityRegion @WYHpartnership we have made substantial progress on aligning health, housing, economy e.g.
wyhpartnership.co.uk/application/fi…
wyhpartnership.co.uk/application/fi…
Tackling HEALTH INEQUALITIES is a role of ICS' and @WYHpartnership has a focused programme on this which builds on public health leadership of @Sarah5656 @robintuddenham @DrJamesThomas1 and our recent commission on #BAME populations is an ambitious example wyhpartnership.co.uk/publications/t…

In light of the upturn in #COVID19 cases in #Leeds , please read the new advice for patients & visitors @LeedsHospitals.
leedsth.nhs.uk/about-us/news-…
leedsth.nhs.uk/about-us/news-…
The Trust has continued to see a sharp rise in the number of patients admitted to hospital with covid-19, with 36 inpatients currently receiving treatment, five of which are in intensive care.
We continue to provide services as normal for people in #Leeds, whether this is outpatient clinics, diagnostic tests, planned care, or emergency care. Patients can be reassured that we have measures in place to safely deliver their hospital care.
I have been looking at the MSOA data for cases to 6 September 2020 at arcgis.com/apps/webappvie… . There are some places with very high case numbers.
#Sunderland - Houghton West (Houghton-le-Spring) has 45 cases in the week to 6 September. Which is an incidence of *560* cases per 100,000 (assuming a MSOA population of 8000)
#Bradford - Shearbridge and University has 37 cases in the week to 6 September. Which is an incidence of *460* cases per 100,000 (assuming a MSOA population of 8,000) @UniofBradford
If Swift chicks aren’t fed enough food they crawl out of their nests in a last ditch attempt to survive. Their chances on the ground are slim, unless they’re rescued. This Swift was tended back to life by my friend Linda and released this morning at St Aidan’s (thread)
Rehabbing Swifts is a meticulous process. They have to be carefully fed every 40 minutes during the day. This is Linda of @LeedsSwifts, a genuine #Leeds conservation hero!
Swift numbers have declined 53% in the last 25 years. As older buildings are renovated the holes that Swifts nest in are no longer available. @LeedsSwifts helps people across the city erect nestboxes for these wonderful birds. Read more here: startbirding.co.uk/leeds-swifts/
Earth has lost a 'staggering' 28 trillion tonnes of ice to global warming in the last 23 years, UK scientists find

A "staggering" 28 trillion tonnes of ice has disappeared from the surface of the #Earth since 1994, a group of UK scientists has found.
Scientists from #Leeds and #Edinburgh universities and University College London analyzed satellite surveys of glaciers, mountains, and ice sheets between 1994 and 2017 to identify the impact of global warming.

Yorkshire has given the world the Brontë Sisters, the first-ever football club, Wensleydale cheese, the selfie and #Yorkshire puddings. It's also home to what's thought to be the world’s first public #railway. Wakefield’s Lake Lock Rail Road opened in 1798. #YorkshireDay 1/3
Two centuries later, Yorkshire’s pioneers are helping to build Britain’s new low-carbon railway, #HS2, including @soil_eng in #Leeds who have spent 5 years investigating ground conditions for #construction of the high-speed route, while growing their business by 35%. 2/3
Once complete, #HS2 will directly serve three of Yorkshire’s main cities – #Leeds, #Sheffield and #York – making it easier for people to live and work where they want; opening up new employment and leisure opportunities. 3/3
There is a huge amount of false and misleading information about #HS2 on social media. Below is a myth buster thread which corrects some of the most repeated misconceptions about the project…
Myth 1: ‘HS2 only saves 20 minutes to #Birmingham’. FACT: #HS2 services will call at 25 stations in England and Scotland connecting 30 million people. It also frees up space on the existing network for more frequent stopping local services benefiting those who may never use HS2.
HS2’s budget is spread over 30 years and evens out at less than the annual roads budget. We will support 30,000 jobs at least 2,000 of which will be apprenticeships. The arrival of #HS2 is spearheading economic growth and is expected to create nearly 500,000 jobs around stations.
1/n Some reflections on #BAME inequality #covid19 and #NHSBirthday. Today is the 72nd birthday of the #NHS - founded upon a set of principles that we hold dear of universal access to healthcare, free at the point of delivery at a time when the nation was impoverished due to war
2/n A few weeks earlier, the Empire #Windrush arrived in the UK bringing the first of the “windrush generation” to help rebuild Britain, including the new #NHS. Things were not quite as promised for them. bbc.co.uk/programmes/m00… #Covid19 #NHSBirthday #BAME
1)On 26/06/20, LASBT East working with @WYP_East, obtained a 3-month Partial Closure Orders for 13 high rise blocks in the Burmantofts/Richmond Hill Ward, preventing anyone from entering unless visiting a resident or with permission from the council.
2)The order prevents access to all areas of the buildings including the foyer, lifts and stairwells. Any person attempting to enter the blocks without permission that attempts to access any of the high rise blocks could face further action, including through the courts.
3)The order was obtained following a rise in ASB within Cherry Court, Marston Mount, Lincoln, Spalding, Grantham & Boston Towers, Naseby Grange, Roxby Close & Cromwell Heights #Leeds #ASB #HighRiseNuisance #Closureorder

War time sketch of Vera Lynn at Imphal ...India, by my Dad who was recovering from wounds and Malaria.
Learning today about the death of probably our greatest Dame…Vera Lynn, I was prompted to look at my Dad’s wartime sketches.

He was posted to India in 1941 and served in the Indian Army in the REME corps as an artificer ranked as Sergeant operating in both India and Burma campaigns where he was awarded the Burma Star.
Dads war began in 1939 at London Arsenal in Woolwich as did many new recruits, then posted to one of the many hills overlooking the Sheffield Steelworks taking care of the anti-aircraft batteries protecting that important industry.
The city of #Leeds set up a #ClimateChange Citizen's Jury with the task of producing recommendations.
It recommended to stop the planned expansion of the local airport.

What do we (we're preparing a paper on this) mean by 'discourses of climate delay'? This:
So Leeds council statement combines several types of climate delay discourse. Let's go through (and debunk) them one by one.
1) what we call "whataboutism". Leeds airport accounts for a trivial amount of air travel emissions, so why bother? Let the others do something about it.

In just 2 weeks’ time we'll begin the #HubsasHosts Tour, taking 14 delegates representing arts hubs across Southern Africa and the UK to visit 7 of the UK's brightest arts hubs across Manchester, Leeds, Newcastle and Wigan. @SouthernAfrArts #SouthernAfricaArts #CreativeEconomy
First up we’ll be visiting @ParadiseWrks and @ManchesterCraft & Design Centre in #Manchester - both of whom provide vital artist and maker studios, exhibition space and sustain thriving creative communities.
Then we’ll be taking a trip to #Leeds to visit the newly renovated @LeedsPlayhouse and @SlungLow - each pioneers in community engagement and accessible creative hubs for their city and beyond, staging world class performance and supporting artists.
