@mattchorley.bsky.social pretty embarrassing cross examination of Berry today re Farage. You allowed to him to ramble on and talk about “school yard” memories. Were you even listening? What about the teacher’s letter re his unsuitability re prefect. Imagine if this was Starmer, Corbyn etc hmmmmn?

I’m so thankful I was vaccinated as a child bc being immunocompromised, I caught measles last year but it was only mild compared to what the full blown disease can do & that was unpleasant enough. Even so if it wasn’t for anti-vaxxers I would likely haven’t caught it at all.
Heartbreaking to read of a child in the UK dying from an entirely preventable infectious disease.

Measles can be a vicious & deadly illness.

The MMR vaccine offers superb protection & there is NO link between the vaccine and autism, contrary to what many medical charlatans try to peddle. (1/3)

@willdalrymple.bsky.social I have had a listen to your recent Empire podcasts re Ireland and found it interesting. I would suggest you find out more about Liverpool re this, excellent resources and contacts through @Liverpool Irish Studies. An Irish Independent MP was returned from the city

Trump treating Zelensky like he’s some johnny wannabe on The Apprentice is profoundly and horrendously disrespectful. What a dreadful spectacle.

For those people suggesting a national public inquiry into so called grooming gangs will deliver accountability

Do you know that the grand total of people brought to justice following the Hillsborough, Grenfell, Post Office, Infected Blood & Bloody Sunday public inquiries is ONE?

Missed this at the time - such a thoughtful, measured & predictably wise piece from @pwhitakerwriter.bsky.social on assisted dying. www.newstatesman.com/politics/hea...
For assisted dying to work, GPs need to know their patients
Ending a life must be a choice made between alternatives; not one taken because of a failure to provide proper healthcare.

This piece by BBC health correspondent Nick Triggle on the replacement of NHS doctors with PAs is disappointingly misleading through omission of key context & reliance on those busy, yet always conveniently anonymous, 'NHS senior sources'. 1/n

NHS physician associates and doctors locked in 'toxic' staffing row
A toxic row has engulfed the NHS, say ministers. So why have doctors turned on physician associates?

I’m not going to leave X just yet - I hate that sense of being driven away from a place I used to love. But after one day on here, I already know how much prefer it.

So if you see this and would be kind enough to share it to let people find me, that would be hugely appreciated. Thank you.

Off to see the mighty Deaf School in St Helens.
This clip (taken by @wildtwin.bsky.social / Jeff Young ...from last December's 50th anniversary gig in Liverpool) encapsulates the joy and unique atmosphere of a Deaf School gig.
