It’s 9am TFT time here, and citizens are already gathering to protest Tariffs by the United States. Our plain clothes Officer Penguins are attempting to maintain calm, but unfortunately we keep losing them in the crowd.

All I keep thinking about is how Pete Hegseth raised questions of the competency of a Black four-star general and Air Force fighter pilot who was the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. Hegseth asked did he get the job β€œbecause of his skin color? Or his skill? We’ll never know, but always doubt.”

A Peter Hitchens article that says dyslexia is made up

A Peter Hitchens article that says dyslexia is made up

I wouldn’t normally highlight this - but I think it is important to understand the sort of mind Peter Hitchens has - he lacks empathy - if he doesn’t experience it then it is made up and can be dismissed. An arrogance devoid of imagination and sadly prevalent in our world.

The devil will be in the detail, but there is a big difference in cost and scale between reorganising the NHS (1.5 million staff) and reorganising *NHS England* (13,000 staff). Lansley "dismantled the management line" all the way down. If Streeting just dismantles NHSE it won't be as costly.

Reminder: In Putin's view, the "root causes of the crisis" are Ukrainian independence, sovereignty and self-determination.

Second Reminder: The actual root cause of the crisis is Putin.

Sarah Woolnough, CEO of The King’s Fund, with a quote about NHS services improvements on a purple and gray background.

The text reads:
β€˜Today’s announcement lands on the same day that NHS stats show people continue to wait days in A&E and many patients remain stuck in hospital beds despite being well enough to leave. The most important question is how will the abolition of NHS England make it easier for people to get a GP appointment, shorten waits for planned care and improve people’s health? That hasn’t yet been set out – ministers will need to explain how the prize will be worth the price.

I see Chris Philp is now repeating Matt Goodwin's deliberate lie.

The correct figure is 17%, and most of those are long-standing residents (and in many cases will have British spouses/children).

If you're at the point of anti-woke moral panic that you're questioning whether NORTHERN IRELAND needs public investment in equality and inclusion initiatives, it's safe to say you're out of your fucking mind.

Here’s the chart that really nudged me to write this.

The headcount of GP partners aged under 40 has fallen by 53% since 2015.

Overall partner headcount down from 68% ➑️ 48% in same time.

Current policy = β€˜let it wither on the vine’. I’m not sure that’s right…..

I am biased, because he was my boss at NHSI, but I am disappointed they’ve lost Steve Russell.

If there was one person I would say the centre needs it is Steve.

Hopefully he is off to do one of the big CEO jobs.

They are launching a change programme looking to reduce size of NHSE by around half.

A number of execs are leaving, including CFO Julian.

Looks like a fundamental redrawing of relationship between NHSE & DHSC.

Tesla’s stock defied gravity for years. Is Elon Musk’s EV party over? Tesla’s stock has dropped by nearly half in three months. Even so, investors are still debating whether Elon Musk's electric-vehicle maker remains overpriced.

Tesla’s electric vehicle business accounts for almost all of its revenue but less than a quarter of its stock-market value. The bulk of its worth rests on hopes for autonomous vehicles Tesla hasn't yet delivered reut.rs/3XEmMku

Aerobic Exercise and Weight Loss in Adults This dose-response meta-analysis of randomized clinical trials assesses the association of aerobic exercise duration and intensity with measures of adiposity among adults with overweight or obesity.

I’m lucky to have the time to take lots of exercise, but many people don’t.

Interesting to read this meta analysis in @jama.com.

If you are trying to lose body fat, they suggest you need at least 150 minutes of aerobic exercise a week.
