It's 5 yrs today since lockdown started in England, but "We must never have lockdown again" is the wrong lesson. Lockdowns are terrible but so are deadly pandemics. Our choices 5 years ago were limited - we can & must do better in the future. Do read my post. open.substack.com/pub/christin...

Pete Buttigieg breaks down DEI for everyday folks… “The opposite of diversity is uniformity. The opposite of equity is inequity. The opposite of inclusion is exclusion.” @petebuttigieg.bsky.social Our problem: too many value uniformity over inclusion and they’re the ones running the government. 🧵

The message is try not to stress! Please share (and add yours) docs.google.com/spreadsheets...

Drug shortages have been affecting people around the country but haven't really reached Westminster as a story. A big issue unlikely to go away any time soon - complex supply chains providing an ever greater number of drugs will always have vulnerabilities. www.theguardian.com/society/2025...

Our beautiful cat, Katniss, is missing! We've looked everywhere for her locally, plus have put up posters and local online adverts. We think she might have jumped in a car or van and ended up further afield. If you are in North London (NW5 and surrounds), please keep an eye out! details below.

Why can no journalist seem to get the facts right? It’s Personal Independence Payment, singular, abbreviated as PIP (not Pip). It’s an in work benefit, it’s not related to your earnings, so people don’t “come off PIP because they get a job”. This is basic stuff and not hard.

This has only been possible through NIH funding. Funding biomedical science through the NIH has been one of the greatest accomplishments of the United States of America for America, and for the world. We are ALL better for the work that passionate scientists funded by the NIH have been able to do.

My own personal experience of depression - my mental health has been massively impacted by dealing with loss of a loved one and caring for a family member. The strain on social care and legal systems has contributed significantly to this, so improving mental health is not just a medical issue.

As I said to BBCBreakfast government isn’t proposing reform. It’s cuts. The DWP has a genuine plan for reform to help more people get support, healthcare & work when they can. Treasury is driving the opposite. Cruel & counterproductive cuts for short term savings.

I wonder if anyone making these kinds of statements has actually spent time with the people they are talking about? It also depends on what your “aspirations” look like. For many it’s getting through each week and that itself is a challenge.
