Some patients do attend A&E with problems that could be dealt with by other healthcare services. However, the article makes clear this cadre represents 2% of patients. If you really want to reduce pressure on A&Es, offer Covid vaccines free for all.

Stop accepting opposition framing of issues. Improve the services rather than telling people they don't need them.

This is happening tomorrow. You might need to be quick, though - only 5,000 tickets left.
My final gig of 2025 is this Thursday at King’s Hall in Herne Bay, again with the brilliant Catenary Wires.
This time, we’re also joined by young, up and coming indie popsters, Swansea Sound.
WARNING: may contain the occasional Christmas poem and song.

Countless things wrong with Labour's pandering to the right but one, as we can see, is that the right will hate them with a demented fury regardless of what they do so one would be wise not to invite the hatred of the left (very broadly defined) as well. I've never understood that strategy

Didn't manage to catch Matt's show this year as it didn't come anywhere close enough for an evening out. That was a legitimate concern I think?
Looking forward to seeing it live on Zoom this Sunday.

Last week, ICE arrested and separated a father and son after a routine check-in. Six-year-old Yuanxin had just enrolled in the first grade at an elementary school in Astoria. Now he's in custody, alone. ICE won't say where. This cruelty serves no one. It must end.

Very important study and more evidence that #NeuroCovid can contribute to neurodegeneration and cognitive impairment. When they say 'it's all in your head', they might be trying to be dismissive, but are accidentally being very realistic.
