In terms of population impact, vaccines are, perhaps, the greatest achievement of biomedical science. It is astonishing how a small number of individuals have managed to persuade so many that vaccines do harm.
That's funny, I could have sworn he said something about not needing Royal Navy vessels because the war was already won.
You broke it Don, you fix it.
Trump calls on China, France, UK and others to send ships to keep strait of Hormuz open
Dear Europe,
Please help me to unshit myself.
In return, I will harm your economy with tariffs, and insult your leaders, your cultures, and your military.
Kind regards,
A very stable genius
Every time I think I couldn’t hate him more, he does something even more despicable
I am even more incensed by how much NHS/HEE must have paid the presenter, who apparently makes a living doing this. Has anyone done a cost/benefit analysis on this?
I’m also wishing I’d joined on my trust laptop as the camera doesn’t work as ot was Bert very hard to subdue the #OutLoudEyeRolling
It would be lovely to have some genuine, in depth, interviews with people of importance rather than celebrities with a book/film to promote. Given podcasts do @therestpolitics.bsky.social leading for example) and have done well, it suggests there is a market for this, not just the dumbed down slop
I am particularly incensed as I am so busy, and had so many better things to do, which I will now spend my own time doing
#educstionalCPD
#NHSMandatoryTraining
So yesterday I sat through what was supposed to be ES CPD training. It was completely poor value and annoying twaddle, which seemed to largely be for the benefit of the presenter. We all sat through it (remotely) because we needed a box ticked to remain ESs. Can we stop this nonsense?
"Don't tell me what you believe. Show me how you treat other people and I'll tell you what you believe."
Daphne feels she is worth the £50 note at the very least
My thoughts entirely
Operation ‘massive distraction’ is the only point, presumably
Except it’s free at the point of care, which we pay for through taxation.
“Illness is neither an indulgence for which people have to pay, nor an offence for which they should be penalised, but a misfortune, the cost of which should be shared by the community.” Nye Bevan
At least the Norwegians are refusing to stand by and do nothing in the face of mass turdification

The Norwegian Consumer Council usually publish advice to consumers about how to throw away less food, how to choose the right insurance, that sort of thing. This is uncharacteristically feisty for them, and I love it! 😍
I also note how the enshittificator becomes gradually more evil over time.
Tactic from the Hunger Games - these people really are despicable and yet another US war crime
BREAKING:
The Justice Department just posted online three FBI interviews that had been missing from the massive trove of Epstein files initially released.

I think my husband is hoping he can similarly claim rugby asylum! 🏴 👏 We rather more used to losing with honour- this feels a bit unsettling!
This infographic was produced in order of MP’s money earned from other jobs.
Ooh look who’s front and centre, it’s “man of the people” Nigel Mirage.
Not often seen in his constituency but topping the charts of additional earnings.
it's always nice to be reminded of how incredible a public speaker Barack Obama is. here's part of his eulogy of Jesse Jackson
Obama: "We are living in a time where it can be hard to hope. Each day we wake up to some new assault on our democratic institutions. Another setback to the idea of the rule of law ... but this man - Rev. Jesse Jackson - inspires us to take a harder path ... bc if we don't step up, nobody else will"
13 new Labour/news announcements that will be deliberately missed or misrepresented by our media
Please share as we have to do the job of our media. Let your fam/friends know this government has your back. As well as keeping us out of a forever war.
I used to think that was a weird American anachronism, but I'm starting to like it, at the very least apply that rule for expats who want a UK state pension (and are paying a tiny bit of NI to stay in the system), maybe make NHS cover part of the deal too
Mine likes the leftover cream after a bowl of strawberries. Given his own blob of cream, in a bowl, on the floor, zero interest - cats 🤷🏻♀️
Sadly, the venue is sold out. Anywhere that is, the rest of us are judging you.
I’m reliably informed that it tastes nicer if not allowed
It's not Roosevelt we're dealing with. Hell, it's not even Nixon.
They need to be sent a bill for the tax they avoided, to be paid before they are allowed back into UK, or put in a refugee detention centre until they do
Ooof
