Hanlon’s razor aside, it’s not hard to wonder if the NHS specialty doctor recruitment fiasco and mass unemployment of doctors is failure by design. After all, policy direction suggests we don’t need doctors and instead just need “differently trained” advanced workforces.

It appears Trump wants to end a war and label it peace through almost total capitulation. This short-term approach will strengthen Putin’s resolve and increase the risk of future aggression against NATO’s eastern flank.

I am disgusted by Reform UK's threats to people who have built a life in this country.
They are coming for our neighbours. They are coming for our colleagues. They are coming for our friends.
We are at a dangerous moment. This hatred cannot be appeased. It must be defeated.

Is there anything left worth fighting for in Britain? After 14 years of mismanagement and the last 3 months of open xenophobia and racism, it feels bleak. I’m tied here through co-parenting, but I fear for my daughter’s generation.

This is exactly the kind of despicable scaremongering that Aseem Malhotra has made his modus operandi. Insinuations, hearsay, anti-vaxx, non-evidence-based, lurid, self-enriching, anti-scientific claptrap. Of course Reform UK lapped it up. 1/4

I’ve had time to read the Leng Review in full. While some celebrate minor cosmetic wins, I see the formal entrenchment of a parallel, underqualified medical workforce — built without medical training.
