Look what I found when I searched "ICE uniform" in Google Shopping. None of us have any way of knowing if the "ICE agent" pushing you into a car, isn't just some unbalanced vigilante into cosplay. These are very dangerous times.

"The NHS needs every doctor it can get. But we inhabit a world now where doctors are unemployed. It’s madness. Please, Mr Streeting, do not be the health sec in post while doctors are unemployed & signing on with Uber shifts.’ @rthonwesstreeting.bsky.social www.independent.co.uk/arts-enterta...

Is your president throwing a military parade for himself on his birthday? If you've answered YES to any of these questions, your leader may be an aspiring dictator! daveweasel.substack.com/p/how-to-kno...

In case you don’t know…I thought I’d let you know about the Substack I write in my spare time! It’s become a bestseller (my readers are the best!). I do live online events, keep everyone up-to-date about important NHS info+ more 💙 jujuliagrace.substack.com

Donald practices dressing up for his birthday parade.

It’s an absolute honour to have remixed 'Endsong' by @thecure.com for their new remix album Mixes Of A Lost World, alongside some truly incredible artists. Order/Listen: thecure.lnk.to/lostmixesSo

Military parades are about honoring those who have served, not praising a president who only thinks about himself. Donald Trump doesn’t deserve a parade, but let me tell you about the kind of person who does.

It's kind of remarkable that this is possible in 2025. Hospital electronic health record systems are... hundreds of siloes. Hospitals have... between zero and a dozen EHR systems running at once. It's still an amazing tangle. www.theguardian.com/society/2025...

Let’s be clear: Israel, an occupier, has no authority under international law to board or divert the Madleen. This is a hijacking, plain and simple. A hijacking of a UK-registered ship, with multiple *European* citizens on board. Does the EU or UK government have anything to say? Anything??

The finger test in prostate cancer diagnosis should be consigned to history say surgeons and @prostatecanceruk.bsky.social as they call for guidance to GPs to be updated: www.thetimes.com/article/35c1...

The crazy world of patients struggling to get appts when there GPs unemployed or underemployed Spoke to Matthew Wright on @lbc.co.uk this morning More funding needed to solve this @rthonwesstreeting.bsky.social

We all know the nazi salute is terrible. The salute launched the Tesla Takedown protests. But since then Musk is responsible for mass murder. That needs to be stressed so that people know what they're facing and can form a meaningful opposition. It isn't mentioned because it's unpalatable.

POPCORN TIME PEEPS 🍿

Watching the Tories tear each other apart fills me with something dangerously close to joy. Every knife in each other's backs is one less in ours. I cannot overstate how much I despise these criminals in Savile Row suits. Let them rot from the inside out. www.huffingtonpost.co.uk/entry/liz-tr...

Physician associates to be renamed to stop them being mistaken for doctors

Stephen King knows horror better than anyone.

Tony Blair & business leaders miss the point Healthcare is personal, reactive, relies on nuance, often the unsaid things, a look down, a ‘hmm’, a tear, leading a Nurse or Doctor to a diagnosis beyond the presenting symptoms Healthcare is not a product, it’s an art, with artists dealing with people

I'm not sure what I'm more cross about. The fact my wife bought me this birthday card. Or the fact that "Meat Pie Flavour" crisps don't exist....

GP partnership model has been a cornerstone of English primary care since the NHS’s inception. Partners operate independent businesses that are contracted through NHS England, enabling tailored local services and continuity of care, though often through partners’ goodwill and unpaid overtime.

For GPs, focus is always on maintaining patient trust in how their confidential data is handled   We were not aware that GP data, collected for Covid-19 research, was being used to train an AI model, “Foresight”….

Musk's legacy won't be rockets to Mars – it will be starved children.
