🚑🖤🤍 Happy St Piran’s Day! 🤍🖤🚑

Today the black and white flag flies high across Kernow, and it’s only right we tip our helmets to the incredible ambulance crews serving Cornwall. From blue lights weaving along cliff roads to navigating summer traffic that moves slower than a tractor in January, they’re there day and night keeping communities safe 🌊

Massive respect to the dedicated professionals at South Western Ambulance Service NHS Foundation Trust who cover some of the most breathtaking, and sometimes challenging, terrain in the country. Coastal rescues, rural lanes, packed beaches, winds that try to relocate the ambulance entirely… and still the job gets done. Proper job indeed.

St Piran might be the patron saint of tin miners, but today we’re also thinking of the lifesavers, call handlers, dispatchers and volunteers who answer 999 without hesitation. Through storms, bank holidays, festival weekends and pasty-fuelled celebrations, they show up.

So whether you’re on shift, just finished shift, or enjoying a well earned brew, here’s wishing everyone across Cornwall a brilliant St Piran’s Day.

Stay safe, look after each other, and fly that flag high 🖤🤍🚑

West Midlands Police have confirmed the death of Detective Constable Tayyab Malik, aged 35.

DC Malik was sadly found to have passed away in Billesley, Birmingham on the afternoon of Tuesday 24th February 2026. His loss will be deeply felt across the force and wider policing family.

Police have stated that his death is not being treated as suspicious and a file is being prepared for the coroner.

Assistant Chief Constable Mike O’Hara said the force is “devastated” by the news and that Tayyab will be hugely missed by his colleagues and friends across West Midlands Police.

Tayyab’s family and friends paid tribute, remembering him as a dedicated serving police officer and as a beloved son, husband, brother, friend and nephew. They said there are no words to describe the depth of their loss and that he will always remain in their hearts.

Today we remember DC Malik for the service he gave, the people he protected and the colleagues he stood alongside. Policing is more than a job; it is a calling. And every day our officers walk into danger so others can walk in safety. That service comes with sacrifice, and when one of our own is lost, the whole family feels it.

Our thoughts are with DC Malik’s family, his friends and everyone at West Midlands Police who are grieving his loss.

Rest in Peace. 💙

Stay safe out there and look out for each other.

“Worst ambulance service in the country” they say… 🧐

Let’s park that label for a second and big up the people actually doing the job.

South Western Ambulance Service NHS Foundation Trust staff turn up every single day to answer thousands of calls, dispatch ambulances, crew the frontline, fix the vehicles, prep the trucks, do the admin, and keep the whole circus rolling across the biggest geographical patch of any ambulance service in England. From city centres to lanes where the sat nav gives up and asks for prayers.

Record demand. Busiest day ever. Highest state of alert for weeks.
And still crews graft, dispatch keep juggling the impossible, and everyone in between keeps pushing.

All in the most rural Part of the Country that Devon and Cornwall see a massive summer influx of people in, with Cornwall alone expecting around 3.8 million visitors (including 2.5 million day-trippers) and Devon experiencing over 1.7 million visitors in August alone! Let that sink in BBC.

When the headlines shout “worst”, remember it’s the system creaking, not the people holding it together with caffeine, dark humour and sheer willpower 🚑💪
