I’ve just started reading this and it’s riveting (not least because it reaffirms and corroborates so much of what I’ve seen working in gender and global health over the past 25 years). don’t sleep on this.

Kindle has chosen Sick of It to be part of their 99p deal for October!

Given the first book I published back in 2010 was about £80 this is a much better deal. And cheaper than a whippy.

You may already have seen her on the BBC this morning, but journalists and policy experts looking for experts on digital ID cards - you need to speak to @kerenweitzberg.bsky.social

This is a post from earlier this year

The Britcard – progressive or concerning? | British Politics and Policy at LSE

The Government is considering Labour Together's proposal to introduce mandatory digital ID cards in an effort to tackle irregular migration. There are problems with that.

“The creation of a New Public Health Order is about much more than simply placing vaccine and other medical manufacturing facilities on the African continent.”
Interesting read…

When the US right talk about free speech in the UK their point of reference is always abortion. This is not an accident, but a core part of their agenda. Women's health as ever at the forefront of global politics.
