Karin Smyth wants us to believe that new NHS private finance will be 'fundamentally different'.
Her reason? Because the public owns the asset at the end of the PFI contract 🧐 1/3

I listened to the first 3 episodes of BBC's "Anatomy of a Cancellation," and I don't know how the interviewer didn't laugh at Kate Clanchy when she said that "slanty eyes" wasn't in her book, it was "slantED, sparking, black eyes," so that was okay.
The podcast completely vindicates the criticisms.

Gill’s conviction for taking Kremlin money is yet more evidence of Russian influence in our politics, as the Russia report itself found. So when will Ministers finally investigate this wider interference? Why are we forced to pursue it in court? @carolecadwalla.bsky.social

Deadly Games by Tom Bale
Today I am thrilled to share my thoughts on the brand new novel from Tom Bale, Deadly Games, which is out today. Happy publication day Tom! I am a huge fan of Tom's books and was so very happy to hear that he was signed with Boldwood Books and a new book was incoming. My thanks to the publisher for the early copy for review via Netgalley.

✨ Friday inspiration: The achingly beautiful village of Bosham in West Sussex. King Harold saw the same church tower before he set sail in 1064 to meet William of Normandy who would be his conqueror in 1066. Bosham is named in the Bayeux Tapestry alongside a depiction of the church.
