An experiment:

If you see this post, please like it. Am comparing numbers to the other place for a piece.
Going for the second time tomorrow and looking forward to it immensely 🎭
Tried to pay for postage to the US using #RoyalMail online. Can't do it without accepting all cookies and they 'require' recipient's email and phone number. I don't want tracking. It's a birthday card, no need for her to know when it will be delivered. Outrageous abuse of personal data. No thanks.
Glad to hear it was such a success, sorry we couldn't be there 🎶

A sobering but massively powerful piece. Our youngest's girlfriend is black and was due to travel back to London yesterday via Waterloo. She asked to stay here in relative, rural security because she was scared of the people on that march. This is not a drill open.substack.com/pub/iandunt/...

It's clear now that we are in a battle of terrible proportions.

Shot, chaser

Young men more likely to vote Green than Reform. Young men second most progressive group of any demographic. Combined right-wing vote barely bigger than Green vote alone for young men

Years too late. Incredible that the GMC - whose entire raison d'être is upholding professional standards in UK medicine - has allowed Aseem Malhotra to spew out his toxic, dangerous, anti-scientific disinformation for so long.

Regulatory failure at its worst.

Duties of a Doctor (General Medical Council) imply that giving out false or misleading information that could lead to harm might be grounds for removing a doctor from the Medical Register.

This is exactly the kind of despicable scaremongering that Aseem Malhotra has made his modus operandi. Insinuations, hearsay, anti-vaxx, non-evidence-based, lurid, self-enriching, anti-scientific claptrap. Of course Reform UK lapped it up. 1/4
Congratulations 💐
I'd been told it was boring but I was enthralled.

It is very nearly the tenth anniversary of that brief moment when, for 2 or 3 days, British newspapers remembered refugees are desperate human beings who need our help, rather than scum that it's okay to threaten with violence.
Here, have a cup of tea ☕️
