Demolishing the East Wing of the White House before finalizing plans for what will be built above its ruins is a near-perfect metaphor for Trump's approach to economic policy. The only difference is the wrecking crew doesn’t claim the rubble is evidence of unprecedented growth.

Before I did midwifery training I worked as a nurse on renal dialysis and liver transplant units in the 90s.I remember being shocked by newly created direct entry midwives who knew little about diabetes monitoring or blood gasses. I wonder if the issue here is curriculum of direct entry midwifery?

🚨 INVESTIGATION: Britain's maternity crisis has deeper roots, extending into the universities trusted to train the next generation of midwives. A majority are still promoting a normal birth ideology while women are more complex than ever:
