At @compassionindying.bsky.social we decided to FOI NHS Trusts to see their advance decision / MCA policies.

Such cool work going on here at the BFI and it's so fun to see it at an org which I use as a punter!

Well deserved!

Parliament has had a good day.

This is quite something. www.bbc.co.uk/news/live/c9...

Interesting thread Rebecca, do you not think the Nuffield Council on Bioethics citizens jury filled this need? www.nuffieldbioethics.org/project/expl...

My editor dislikes my use of contractions but it's what it's

A lovely piece. And I agree - wholesome, bizarre and satisfying TV. www.theguardian.com/tv-and-radio...

Cool cool. I rented my rarely used car on the now dead EasyCar Club and it was great. I remember looking into Hiyacar but the numbers didn’t make sense… maybe it’s got cheaper. How does Hackney subsidise?
