What a lovely lovely compliment 🤗

Here it is @lewisgoodall.com 😳

“It's been underinvested in, steadily, for years & years...across governments, across many years — and you have to see it to believe it" Outgoing @NHSEngland chair Richard Meddings talks to Sunday Times Oli Shah www.thetimes.com/uk/healthcar...

Back on air Wednesday 1-4pm. To borrow from @mrjamesob.bsky.social ….full disclosure, I had a bad cough for a bit but then it was jury service for seven days. Fascinating but exhausting. See ya tomorrow.

Apropos of nothing …Jerry Seinfeld has been a major contributor to my sanity over the last few years. #Seinfeld and #Comediansincars #netflix are just brilliant. I came to both late. If you need laughs you’ll find them here.

Ah Fred. Calm down.

We need to think hard about how we describe what’s happening in #NHS A&E/ Ambulance services. We can’t just talk about Winter pressure and flu numbers absent any context on bed numbers since 2010, staff sickness because they work in hellish places, vaccine messaging, GP/community/social care gaps.

Meta is getting rid of factcheckers, recommending political material and “dramatically reducing the amount of censorship” (of Far Right material), Zuckerberg has just announced. Welcome to the new Twitter.

8-8.30: argue with a man parked in our garden! 🤬 9-9.30: make coffee for five scaffolders who are now singing Xmas songs amid the drilling outside the house. Cheered me up no end.

In the new #MisadventuresinMusic podcast with Ian Prowse & Mick Ord our guest is the music & kickass legend, #JayneCasey. There's far, far more to her than Big in Japan, Pink Military, Pink Industry, Cream. Enjoy. @shelaghfogarty.bsky.social urbanistamagazine.uk/podcast-jayn...

just want one (1) of the 'don't you dare return the Elgin Marbles' people to be asked which is their favourite, if they could pick it out of a lineup of similar classical statues, and when they last popped in to see them in the british museum, if being able to pop in and see them is so important.
