Gateophilia. A passion for gates. For their seductive promises & the wildflowers growing near them. For their varying latches and shapes & designs & the satisfying clunk they make as they are closed. For the magic tunnels of light just beyond them which often seem to hint at passage a better world.

Getting very tired of “hard done by” actual millionaire farmers spreading misinformation about a tax (not a fine or punishment) that they either avoid completely or pay half what the rest of “hard done by” millionaires would pay.

So if it's a trade choice between:

b) European food, beer & wine...
...I confess, I have a strong preference for the latter.

Sunak talks about debt
Your honour, may I present the Conservative Party’s debt legacy:
National debt 2010 = £800 billion
National debt 2024 = £2.6 trillion
And we have absolutely nothing to show for it
Sit down Sunak, your lot broke the country

Starmer’s Berlin trip was a real success. But let’s not confuse Germany with the EU | Helene von Bismarck
If the British prime minister wants a closer relationship with the EU, he needs to go to Brussels, not just Berlin and Paris says the German historian Helene von Bismarck

For years the housing crisis has been down to government policies, not migration. There are thousands of vacant properties, building targets have been missed for years. If we spent money we do on deterrents, detention, and deportations on housing we could help everyone

Very, very interesting thread on ‘the anaemia of infection’:
Some convos in the #NEISvoid discussing the low B12/folate/iron combo that's common in chronic complex disease. So let's talk about the "anemia of infection" or the "anemia of chronic disease". Bit of a 🧵, so don't forget to expand the last skeet you see to continue reading! #LongCOVID #MECFS
“Admissions with a diagnosis of iron deficiency more than doubled from 196,685 in 2013-14 to 490,005 in 2022-23”
