Finally living by the sea and on the edge of the beautiful South Downs. I like colourful flowers, art deco, charity shops, fairness, art, my friends. Feminist (not the fun kind).

Ada Lovelace used mathematics to design the world’s first algorithm intended for a machine. This was done decades before computers were even built!

Have just paid for covid vaccination. I'm fortunate I can afford it. But many can't. Didn't think of getting shingles vaccination privately.

This is the second time in 24 hours he's said something like this. Yesterday he made that quip saying about Karoline Leavit, "those lips --- they move like a machine gun."

He's losing all inhibitions. Not that he ever had many to begin with.

Such a weird decision to give shingles vaccination to younger people first. I'm 69 and still can't get it!

It is to the shame of all the male reporters in the room that they do not immediately leave

Do take a look at some of the speakers. They were from Afghanistan, Iran, Colombia etc where women's rights are routinely restricted and women experience violence from patriarchal regimes. Not far right women. I was there. I heard what they had to say.

“Once rare, 7-year car loans are fast becoming the norm. They’re often the only way buyers can afford new rides, with average sale prices surging 28% in 5 years to approach $50k.”

Designed-in car dependency, surging car prices, longer loan periods with more interest.

Sound like “freedom” to you?
Cars are so expensive that buyers need 7-year loans

Were you there? The trans rights activists filmed themselves breaking the windows of the Brighton Centre where the feminist conference was being held. This was a women's liberation conference. There were women from all over the world. Nothing to do with the right.

And if I were a builder, and I am, that is the system I would back- the strategic development system that we see in most of northern Europe which meets needs in terms of numbers and factors in society and the environment too.

One of the most tedious aspects of this discussion is that we have countries very close to us who understand this.

You can't meet housing need through a private sector driven system. You need a strategic system that creates opportunities for housebuilders but also meets social and public needs.

Hey @lukepollard.bsky.social

Have a look at my thread about Derriford. I’m the woman who was in touch with you about ferrying Nigerian care workers home due last year’s race riots

Meanwhile - St George flags besmirch Forder Valley on the way up to Derriford & the REI, where so many people 1/2

Anyway - the stellar staff we have seen include:

Dr Abu from The Sudan (fled to get to Egypt when a kid, now a wonderful doctor)
Joy from Malaysia who sped around Resus for 12 hours without pause
Nurses Elizabetta & Esitio on The Medical ward
Dr Hasan on call
Julietta from Poland who makes + tea

2/2 What concerns me is that she will be discharged without long enough monitoring & with a 10 month wait until ablation is possible & we’re back to square one.

It’s a hellhole there (staff doing their best etc )
