I'd really like to spend the time studying all sources and coming to a balanced conclusion. But I'm triggered. Meanwhile I try to avoid personal attacks and demeaning posts (unless they are really really funny!) TBC I automatically block unsolicited DMs.

Patients want access to GPs yet there are unemployed GPs

£1.7bn to ARRS additional roles ~ 5m appts/month
£600m for Pharmacy First to reduce demand on GPs ~ 500k/month

Yet just £80m for ARRS GPs & core GP funding 20% less ccd 2015

Half the cost £1.15bn = 11k GPs & more appts

Both are possible⚖️

Brexit is Farage and his fellow Brexiters' shitstorm to own. He/they can't be allowed to just pivot from heckle to heckle and bad idea to worse - while blaming everyone else - without consequences.

So the suggestion that Labour are going to amplify that truth is to be welcomed.

Many on the right will try and belittle and undermine what’s happening.

But here’s the truth. Tens of thousands are joining Greens. Polls are at record highs. People are just starting to feel hope again.

Boris Johnson, "I tried to get the scientists to say that lockdown was a bad idea"

*they all laugh*

There were 26,000 covid deaths because Boris Johnson ignored scientists and delayed the first lockdown by a week

and then I found the silver Bentley I borrowed from a friend whose name I can’t recall had £13k in used notes in the glove compartment, which was nice.

This is great news. We've hired the classicist Spencer Klavan to teach at New College of Florida. Goodbye gender studies; hello, Greek literature.

Truly excited to be teaching an online survey course in Greek literature this fall semester @NewCollegeofFL. Even more excited that it's open to the public. Please join in here! We'll be reading Homer, Aeschylus, Aristophanes, and lots more.

Reform make their own rules as both Tice & Farage have broken parliamentary rules

Tice not declaring Lavish Hospitality from Senior Russian ❌

Farage breached parliamentary rules over Trump event ❌

Nothing seemingly happened to Farage which begs the question what’s the bloody point of HOP rules 🤷🏼‍♂️

Isn't it about time that the MSM journalists do their jobs and wash ALL of Farage's dirty linen in public?

I can see why Reform would oppose measures to prevent money laundering. Maybe banks should check money going *into* bank accounts - particularly when it's Russian money going into Reform politicians' bank accounts...

Vaccines are safe and effective.

Autism isn't caused by vaccines, and autistic people and their families deserve our support.

When you want information, ask your doctor.

It's more important than ever for all of us to speak plainly, truthfully, and directly about public health.

That New York Times story lots of people are sharing today about Farage's ties to US anti-abortion groups was first reported by @mc00.bsky.social on Byline Times a year ago bylinetimes.com/2024/11/29/n...
