I found 2024 incredibly frustrating. Because I (and lots of other people) kept explaining that the fiscal position of all parties was literally impossible but broadcast (in particular) was never willing to go that far.
The fact that in both 2019 and 2024, the winning party did so with a set of manifesto promises that could not be kept and dissolved upon contact with actual office is something that as an industry we should be much more bothered by than we are.

For 3.5 years, UK investigators had enough evidence to charge former Reform UK politician Nathan Gill with bribery, but held back. What explains the delay, and should we believe he was the only British politician who took money from (pro-)Russian agents? shekhovtsov.substack.com/p/uncovering...

Again: if you think that going “it’s a problem if you can’t see what is objectionable about this mural” is “silly”, you yourself are a racist and an appeaser of racists, just like the government we now have.

1/ What a Russian breaking of the ceasefire will look like, step by step.
There are far better experts on this, but I was an Australian diplomat in Ukraine in 2014 so I've seen this play out up close.
So join me, brothers and sisters, as we count down to a fullscale re-invasion.

Hey Jonathan,
Leading Patient Safety Learning as Chair must take a knack for both detail and big-picture thinking,I respect that. Figured I'd reach out.
Most practices lose 20–40% of patient inquiries because calls go unanswered, especially after hours. That’s revenue walking out the door.

The NHS recruits international medical graduates onto non-standard, non-national and non-permanent contracts. Many are trapped on these contracts for years.
It is exploitative, and how normal it has become scares the bejesus out of me.

We were pleased to have the opportunity to contribute to this article.
We think doctors trapped in long-term local contracts are "hidden SAS". They deserve the national contract for the work done.
We hope our campaign helps to make this normal.
