The UK’s independent scientific bodies are highly vulnerable to politicisation - over the past 5 months I've been working with @martinmckee.bsky.social to map out their vulnerabilities and it's not good news.

Today our report is published!

Politics is perception.
Which is why it is in such a mess.

How totally and utterly unnecessary. Nobody with a clear mind will mix up vegan sausages with meat sausages. And even if somebody is too ignorant to read the labels: there's no harm in eating vegan food (at least imho)

As a general point, I am always amused when I hear the Spectator complain about 'the governing class‘.

I mean.
Really?

Not a comment on this particular candidate (even if I do have thoughts), but this is why it is simply insane to base your decisions on social media. There is this bubble of people who find you quite interesting for some reason, so you treat that bubble as a representative sample of the population?

Flu and Covid jabs today. Had to pay for both. Whatevs.

If you are eligible for them on the NHS please get them. If you aren’t, please consider paying.

Respiratory illness is already putting a big strain on hospitals and it’s only October.
