Jacqui Sydney 📚 @jacquisydney.bsky.social · Jan 2
My bookish New Year’s Resolution for 2025 is to read or reread at least one book that I already owned on January 1st each month this year. I’m kicking off with this one from one of my favourite authors which has been waiting patiently on the shelf forever.
Copy of Mo, Lottie and the Junkers by Jennifer Killick, held in front of a Christmas tree. The book’s cover shows a white boy with ginger hair opening a box, with a girl with light brown skin and plaited brown hair just behind him. On the left is a cross-looking man leaning out of the serving window of an ice cream van and on the right, a frowning woman leaning out of a first floor house window.

This article raises a lot of ethical questions about ensuring patient care and good quality science when pushing the frontiers of what is possible

Face transplants promised hope. Patients were put through the unthinkable
Twenty years after the first face transplant, patients are dying, data is missing, and the experimental procedure’s future hangs in the balance

The budget. Business rates.

The reduction in the multiplier to 38.2p BUT the removal of the 40% business rates relief PLUS an increase in the rateable value means a 45.9% increase in my business rates for next year.

Yay.
