NHS to pay 25% more for US drugs
That's an extra £3 billion a year
Why?
Because Brexit, taking us outside the EU, makes the UK weaker than if we were inside the the EU

For fun: GFS 00z going for something a little bit more 'Beasty' in less than two weeks' time with a Scandi high and a cold Easterly into the UK. Very different output from the changeable Atlantic weather in other forecast models with low pressure mostly in Biscay. Interesting start to Winter... ❄️

I've missed the boat for genetic screening for genes associated with prostate cancer. Not reassuring as I have a family history of prostate and breast cancer (father & sibling). When doing a PSA test do GPs advise their patients not to masturbate in the 48 hours before the test? False +ve?
Expert panel recommends targeted prostate cancer screening only for men with specific gene mutations.
Prostate cancer screening rejected by UK government advisers – here’s why

Cruel. Callous. Cowardly.
The public are seeing this Labour government for exactly who they are.
We all have a responsibility to make them pay at the ballot box.
Reject the hate. Reject them.
This is not who we are. Let's make hope normal again.

Remarkable mildness both day and night at #London Heathrow, but focusing on max we have got midway through November with not a single daily max cooler than 13.4C, no lower than teens.
This has never happened before until 2025….

Meanwhile at COP30 they're bogged down in debating the term 'gender' because it seems like a good op to waste time on anti-trans issues rather than focus on the fact that women are disproportionately affected by climate change. We learn that fossil fuel lobbyists at COP30 outnumber other delegates.
