Apparently someone saying this to me on Instagram doesn't violate community guidelines... Racism towards Indians really is just totally dismissed.

Why do governments continually try to make General Practictioners practice anything but medicine?

This article manages to name her husband before it names… her.

Article reads:
Woman named as Archbishop of Canterbury in historic first

The 63-year-old archbishop-designate is married to Eamonn Mullally, with whom she has two children. Originally from Woking in Surrey, she was the UK's chief nursing officer from 1999 to 2004.

She's a Dame, a literal Dame, and you didn't even put her name in the headline! Shame on you.

Okay so the flags are seemingly getting bigger and are flying closer to the ground and I'm a little more worried about that. Feels both literally and metaphorically more in your face...

There is no doubt that Taylor Swift is bigger globally than the NFL too. Must be so difficult to get what you deserve as a smaller creator

America doesn't get a lot right but their versions of pancakes are just infinitely superior

Here's a bunch of bullshit that I do not believe:
Energy companies saying investing in renewable energy won't lower bills
Anything Trump says
Anything Israel claims
That out current version of capitalism works
If laws are changed that billionaires will leave a country
The NHS is dead

The irony of being contacted a couple days ago by a resident doctor colleague asking when the next strikes were. We haven't been striking since July and not since a whole new cohort of doctors have started their careers. You want us to strike even less? @rthonwesstreeting.bsky.social

Samantha Wathen @samanthajwathen.bsky.social · 26d

Eagerly awaiting the day when at least one politician in power realises that striking doctors/nurses are actually fighting for the future of the NHS - not somehow trying to undermine it.

Rocket science, it is not.

NHS will die under Reform unless doctors stop striking and work with Labour, says Wes Streeting

We apparently signed up for a job for life. If so the government needs to actually let us work...

Israel is now officially committing genocide.

This means that the UK is now officially complicit in genocide.

This means that the UK is now officially denying genocide.

So the guy who continues to start new far right political parties organised yesterday's protest and there are people claiming it was only about 'illegal immigration' and that they're fine with people who come here to work and pay taxes. Meanwhile Robinson owes HMRC around £2 million...

Phone companies have packed their products full of useless AI features because we've got to the point now where for 99.9% of the public their smartphone needs can be satisfied for years by processors/RAM accesible for under £300/$350. AI is bloatware designed to slow your phone...

Given importance of health to the voting public, it seems politically naive of Nigel Farage and Reform to have their health policy so closely tied to Dr Aseem Malhotra, whose speech today confirms his switch from once respected clinician to conspiracy theorist quack: www.thetimes.com/uk/politics/...

Doctor claims Covid jabs may be linked to cancer in royal family

Aseem Malhotra told Reform UK’s party conference that the vaccination was a ‘significant factor’ in the diagnoses of King Charles and the Princess of Wales

Hey Guardian you spelled “Well-know crank and conspiracy theorist (who happens to be medically qualified) spouts dangerous bullshit again.” wrong

So the UK Met Office is inviting people to suggest up to 5 names for storms.

And apparently lots of people have been suggesting "Storm Bigoil", along with BP, Equinor, Exxon & Shell...

This is obviously appalling & definitely not to be emulated via this link: www.metoffice.gov.uk/forms/name-o...

Screenshot of form on the UK Met Office website. Text reads: "You can provide up to 5 storm names in the boxes below.

Storm Name: [a user has filled this in with "BigOil"]

Storm Name (optional): [filled in with BP]

Storm Name (optional): [filled in with Equinor]

Storm Name (optional): [filled in with Exxon]

Storm Name (optional): [filled in with Shell]
