Trump Thinks He Humiliated Zelensky. He Really Humiliated the United States Trumpโ€™s Oval Office mob show proves heโ€™s no Don Corleone. Heโ€™s Luca Brasiโ€”with nukes.

The Trump Vance performance today was one of the great foreign policy fails in US history, the biggest Oval Office clusterfuck the public has ever had the chance to watch in real time. But it was much worse than that. Another piece from me. www.thedailybeast.com/trump-thinks...

The UK Longitudinal Business Database allows any accredited researcher in the ONS Secure Research Service to track the near-universe of UK firms at quarterly frequency and to link them to other administrative and survey data sources.

I have written about it here.

So pleased HDR UK are partnering with @cancerresearchuk.org and others on this exciting programme to harness population scale data and infrastructure to more accurately predict who is most at risk of developing cancer, to enable earlier detection, diagnosis and prevention.
