Pancakes with banana and Dubai style chocolate spread. Slightly off trend as usual.

Genuinely can’t see that this is the fault of the NHS. It’s not like they can compel parents to get their kids vaccinated.

That Ozempic burn is objectively funny though.

Ok, I’ll bite. I enjoy crisps and soup. How do you combine these two hobbies?

Cllr David Wimble, Reform Cabinet member for economic development at Kent County Council, says he might defund Margate's Turner Contemporary Gallery to spite the local MP Polly Billington.

Yeah, I’m not suggesting you should landfill them once after a kid outgrows them of course, but I can see why people buy cheaper alternatives.

Frog bikes are expensive, and there’s not much point spending a lot on a kids bike because they grow out of them fairly quickly.

I’m not saying we don’t hoover enough, but I got the Henry out today and a mouse jumped off it.

Fortunately we had three ten year old girls in the room at the time, which really helped to dial back the drama πŸ™„

Green Party by-election bar chart claim is misleading – Full Fact An image shared by the party and its leader Zack Polanski claims figures from a projection show β€œonly the Greens can stop Reform” in Gorton and Denton, even though the model suggests Labour will win.

The Green Party has claimed figures from a projection show β€œonly the Greens can stop Reform” in Gorton and Denton.

This is misleading. The model cited suggests Reform and the Greens will increase vote share the most, but currently projects a Labour win.

Dr Vanessa Saliba, Consultant Epidemiologist at UKHSA, said: 'Infections can return quickly when childhood vaccine uptake falls; elimination is only possible if all children receive two MMRV doses before school. Older children and adults who missed vaccination must be caught up. The NHS is making vaccination easier, including offering the second MMRV dose earlier at a new 18-month appointment to boost uptake and support elimination goals.'

UKHSA responds to the confirmation from @WHO that the UK has lost its measles elimination status.
