Thinking about online patient feedback...

In some orgs it's data: log, count, report.
In some it's cases: listen, resolve, close.
In some it's culture: learn, improve, be open.

Some stories on @careopinion.org.uk stay with you. They touch something deep and remind us why listening really matters.

This is a powerful story from a person who bravely opened up about grief, anxiety, and their journey toward healing.

Not well understood that 6 in 10 families impacted by the two-child limit are in work, and that the vast majority have 3 or 4 children.
The Chancellor has scrapped the two-child limit, benefitting more than half a million families.

In April 2025, out of families impacted by the limit:

- 6 in 10 had 3 children.
- 6 in 10 had at least one person in work.
- And 6 in 10 are receiving a health or disability benefit.

Scrapping the two-child limit is a vital step towards achieving the Government's manifesto pledge to reduce child poverty and give more children the best start in life.

📉 Estimates show child poverty decreasing by 450,000 by 2029-30 as a result.

Good morning, while everyone is waiting for the budget to be announced it’s a good time to say that immigration is a source of prosperity for the UK and painting Britain as a hostile state is sabotaging the country. Thanks!

On Care Opinion, stories aren’t just good or bad. They’re personal.

One story thanked the Asha Centre at #WHSCT and suggested a small change about the butter. The service listened and responded with a change: www.careopinion.org.uk/1389147#1404...

Even small changes can have a real impact.

1) Start the worst European war since 1945 and commit every imaginable war crime
2) Decide how you want to be rewarded for your aggression
3) Leak the list of your desiderata to the US press
4) Wait for the US president to enforce your wish list on your victim.

If you’re a journalist who’s still on Twitter, from now on in your writing you have to replace “the American people want” with “troll bots in Eastern Europe demand”

Being there makes your judgment suspect. I don’t care how savvy you think you are, you’re marinating in a disinformation campaign.

And I gather Grok has analysed the so-called 'peace plan' and concluded that various bits of syntax, spelling and style suggest it's been translated from Russian
Musk turned on a feature on X that showed country of origin.

He disabled it a couple hours later when it was revealed how many MAGA accounts aren't in the U.S.

Foreign bot disinformation machines exposed.

Seems like Twitter could have done that feature 15 years ago & we wouldn't be here today.

Newmarket MP Matt Hancock gave a £37bn Covid testing contract to Jockey Club director Dido Harding, who subcontracted it to Grand National sponsor Randox, employer of Tory MP Owen Paterson, whose late wife chaired Aintree racecourse. That's how the Tories handled the pandemic.

Anti-vaccine propaganda from 1892 versus 2025.

Same fear-mongering tactics, different century.
