Spotting celebrities on the streets of Ealing early this morning - I think this might be #sophiefromromania and her agent aka the Prof who has a book out today

Fascinating afternoon at the Cure Parkinson’s research day hearing about new drugs trials - but appalled that the bureaucratic and regulatory hurdles which mean trials take many years seem to be getting worse

Stopping something that could cure one of the deadliest bastard cancers is properly evil. I sat with a friend as she died of pancreatic cancer just days after she was diagnosed with it, everyone utterly shocked and devastated she'd gone from some vague back pain to dying within days.

BERNIE: “We have a health care crisis in this country. Americans are dying because they can't afford to see a doctor. We agreed on BIPARTISAN legislation to improve health care in America. And one Republican kills the bill. The American people are watching.”

“Schmidt being “violently interrogated” at Logan Airport for hours, and being stripped naked, put in a cold shower by two officials, and being put back onto a chair.” Whatever happened to #abolishICE? It needs to be abolished. This is torture.

We had a message expressing concern about the promotion of using other species in the circus and that it's cruel They have consulted the elf and safety Tomten and they would like to reassure everyone that humans are banned from the circus so there will be no exploitation of humans in their circus.

Our actual enemies and the BBC’s commercial rivals hate everything that makes it important & valuable. (And they don’t help themselves much these days in all sorts of ways.) But this is a crucial test of the current government’s resolve.

🧵/ Today the BMJ lays out in stark terms the crisis faced by the @rcphysicians.bsky.social. I believe the College has lost the trust of members & ceased to be the credible voice of physicians. This has to change. Here's why I back presidential candidate @drasifqasim.bsky.social to do so.
