August over 3000 GPs completed their training

There are currently only 250 job GP roles available across 6277 GP practices 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

Patients have said GP access as the most important concern in #NHS provision

@rthonwesstreeting.bsky.social but still minimal investment in access, just empty words

Need to visit the hospital? Patients, families and NHS staff are being met with rising fees just to park their cars. Sign this petition from 38 Degrees to demand these unfair charges are scrapped altogether: 38d.gs/os5a

Hello Ely Folk! A quick message today to say that it looks extremely likely that we'll have sold out of our Tier 1 tickets at some point next week and will be moving to the more expensive Tier 2. So if you want a ticket at the cheapest possible price, don't delay! Photo by Nikki Geast.

The Capitol Rotunda has been traditionally used for presidents lying in state.

This Monday, it will be used for a president lying to *all* states.

The 10 best folk albums of 2024 Traditional songs in dub, Irish keening with touches of Yoko Ono and shape-note hymns with sound-processing were among the year’s records renewing an ever elusive genre

It's great to see albums from Jacken Elswyth and the Rheingans Sisters (EFDSS Creative Bursary recipients) included in @theguardian.com's top 10 folk albums of 2024.

We've had the pleasure of seeing both perform at Cecil Sharp House in recent years.

Word of the day is ‘apanthropy’ (18th century): a dislike of company and the desire to be left alone.

There were those in 1914 who believed that war was just what was needed - as a cleanser and a salutary shock. England would be the better for it. As we wait for the result of the final Brexit talks, the heirs of these fools are still with us.
