The fact that this person remains Health Secretary is objectively one of the most significant British political scandals of the post-Covid era. But because he's doing something the media barons like, everyone has decided it's fine.
Health Secretary Wes Streeting says that the British Medical Association, which represents Britain's doctors, is a threat to the NHS. Streeting took a record £225k from private healthcare-related donors in just two years.
British Medical Association ‘threat to future of NHS’, says Streeting ahead of doctors’ strike
Health secretary accuses doctors’ union of ‘cartel-like behaviour’ and tells it to ‘get real’ over pay demands

The problem with having sadgirl tastes in music - you really have to scrabble around to find tunes to add to a running playlist. I appear to be limited to Charli XCX, Beyoncé and Kings of the Stone Age 😬

It’s remarkable how much I’m still aching from Saturday’s parkrun (legs, abs(?!)). The moral of the story is - it is a bad idea to stop running for 4.5 months, and then proceed to do some half-arsed stretches on a start line before jumping straight in with a full gas effort for 5K 🥶

Walking to work in London and being hit by a thump of culture shock. It’s amazing how many people are commuting to work on public bicycles here! Inspiring, really!

My very last audax of audax season 2024-2025 completed! Delightful cake break (I always try to visit at least one fancy bakery on my rides), and I should be on 63pts now. ✌️

After 300kms this weekend, I just need to log an extra 110miles to hit 10,000kms of bike distance for 2025. Not a lot really for an audaxer but a huge amount for me!

A rather grey and damp weekend beckons, perfect for autumnal hibernation and cosy times.

I’ve been obsessed with McVities’ caramel millionaire slices recently. A base of buttery digestive flapjack layered with caramel and choc?? It is obscene and I’ve been eating 1-2 every day for the past couple of weeks 💀❤️

You gently run your hand through the rack. You can feel it—pure cotton, rich wool, Irish linen. The plump buttonholes are handsewn; the buttons attached with a firm shank. You flip the price tag over. It's affordable
You buy the jacket and go home, which is only 15 mins away. Your apt is $600/month

Did I pay £4.99 for an album containing a song about Travis Kelce’s peen? Yes…I did.
(I’m not a Swiftie really! But she has at least 3 really good albums that I am well-acquainted with)
