I came here to talk about music, art and dogs. As a GP of 35 years, serving a deprived population in the North West of England, I can't help but get involved with discussions about the NHS.

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

This perfect piano trio album is utterly gorgeous. It glows with positivity. Even the track Shadows is light and playful. It is exactly what I need in my world right now.

A new release from Tingvall Trio that has escaped my attention until now. Streaming from Qobuz and sounding choice.

By the middle of December, only 37% of those eligible for a flu jab - including the over-65s, under- 17s, NHS workers, carers, pregnant women and people with long-term health conditions such as asthma and diabetes - had been vaccinated.

PFI is the worst mortgage ever. You pay eye-watering interest rates, are tied into extortionate maintenance costs and, at the end, you have to give the property back in the condition it was in originally.
📢OUT NOW: Tony Blair's PFI deals are still damaging the NHS.
Average NHS trust with PFI has already paid back over *3 and half times* what was borrowed - but they still owe £44 billion in total.
