"TBI is not advocating for building that capacity within the NHS. They are saying: let’s outsource to our buddies.”

"I’m an African, I have lived experience, and I’m saying these things, but I wasn’t being listened to. You have to downplay those negative things...”

Finally someone digs into the problematic conflicts of interest baked into the business model of Tony Blair Institute.

TB's "trademark evangelism is now focused on AI, its power to transform government & why everyone should listen to Larry Ellison, founder of Oracle" (and the head of EIT).

Incredibly dangerous for a senior politician to suggest that there's some zero-sum game to be played between mourning the losses of Oct7 and protesting an ongoing genocide. And incredibly cynical given that the protests are directed at his own complicity

They largely want the studios & sports and don’t care about the news org. In fact, they would love it gone. Why? Because rich men, especially tech men, think they deserve no criticism and also need constant fluffing. They value a mirrortocracy over a meritocracy and welcome a mediocrity.

MSF staff are universally understood to be engaged in an essentially sacred form of work. For a state to nonetheless continuously murder them is a testament to a truly unthinkable degree of depravity.

msf.org/msf-denounce...
This morning, an attack carried out by Israeli forces killed Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) staff member, Omar Hayek, and seriously injured four others. The attack took place on a street where our teams were waiting to take a bus to the MSF field hospital in Deir al Balah, Gaza. All staff were wearing MSF vests, clearly identifying them as medical humanitarian workers. We express deep sorrow and outrage over the killing, which occurs less than two weeks after another MSF colleague, Hussein Alnajjar, was killed by the Israeli forces, in Deir Al Balah. Our thoughts are with Omar’s family and colleagues at this tragic time. Omar, 42 years old, is the fourteenth MSF colleague to be killed in Gaza since 7 October 2023.

Really excellent overview (& reminder) of the evolution of the #GlobalHealth and development landscape over the decades of Gates Foundation investments and influence.

And the implications for the Foundation's sunset plan:
From Health to Wealth — Reframing Global Aid through the Gates Foundation’s Final Chapter | NEJM
In the Gates Foundation’s final chapter, it is doubling down on its wager that health can engender prosperity. That proposition must now contend with the mixed macroeconomic evidence.
