A patient’s right to choose and GPs ability to refer is becoming more difficult

With waiting lists only being reduced by removals more than work being done

More and more referrals are being rejected by hospitals

GPs are often left trying to explain to patients why they can’t be seen

Tom makes a crucial point that, contrary to propaganda from Reform UK &their champions, it is not the Equality Act restricts opportunities for poor white people (males esp.) but multiple indices of deprivation

And of course The Right won't tackle that as small state pushers

Socio-economic inequality affects early years, education, housing, modifiable risk factors for non-communicable disease, workplace safety/wellbeing, maternal health, absolute and healthy life expectancy, access to healthcare and job opportunities

But Parris says "boring, now"

A short note to Kristi Noem To a current Cabinet secretary from a former one

The New York Times reports that the Department of Homeland Security has sent Google, Meta, and other media corporations subpoenas for the names on accounts that criticize ICE enforcement. The department wants to identify Americans who oppose what it’s doing. I’ll save them time.

If @dailymail story true…this would be convenient in all sorts of ways, given Mandelson’s firm acted as lobbyists for #Palantir who the previous government got Antonia Romeo in regular meetings with, including at Davos.

Does due diligence include reading Private Eye? If not, why not?
For Starmer et al to claim they didn't know what the rest of us have known for years is neither credible or not defensible.

FBI concluded Jeffrey Epstein wasn’t running a sex trafficking ring for powerful men, files show The FBI pored over Jeffrey Epstein’s bank records and emails. It searched his homes.

If this is our government's position, then why not release ALL THE FILES?

There is an overwhelming amount of evidence being ignored here, including affidavits signed as sworn testimony under oath by the victims and pictures not yet released.

When are we going to start believing the victims?

Epstein was in and out of Russia every few months according to his travel documents, but Mandelson was partying in nightclubs in St Petersburg and regularly in Moscow.

How did our intelligence services fail to pick this up? Or were their reports and investigations suppressed?

Starmer faces questions over visit to Palantir office alongside Mandelson Former ambassador was also shareholder in lobbying group that counted US tech firm as a client

New on FT website:

Downing Street has refused to say whether Sir Keir Starmer knew Palantir was a client of Peter Mandelson’s lobbying firm when they both visited the company in Washington last February — ahead of it winning a £240mn UK government contract.

Multiorgan Outcomes Following COVID-19 Vaccine vs Infection: 30M Analysis Background: Cardiovascular and cerebrovascular risks of SARS–CoV–2 infection and mRNA vaccination remain incompletely defined and lack comparative outcomes such as sex–specific vulnerabilities. Method...

SUNY Upstate researchers analyzed over 30 million records and found that COVID-19 infection raised cardiovascular risks by at least 4 times, while vaccination cut those risks by up to 76% with no detectable heart toxicity.

Wes Streeting saying on Today that Mandelson is ‘not the man we thought he was’ but the trouble is, he is exactly the man we thought, just on a much worse scale than almost anyone thought. And there is an alternative world where none of this is this govt’s problem, because they never gave him a job

DHS Hunts Down 67-Year-Old U.S. Citizen Who Criticized Them in Email The Department of Homeland Security is using a little-known tool to go after its critics.

Floored by this story. A man wrote a pollite email to a federal prosecutor objecting to the deportation of an Afghan seeking asylum. DHS responded with an administrative warrant to get the man's info from Google, then visited his home to intimidate him.

'Peter Mandelson's Fixing of Keir Starmer’s Visit to Spytech Firm Palantir Raises Serious Questions' Palantir was represented by a lobbying firm founded by Mandelson, Iain Overton and Max Colbert report

If Mandelson is being investigated for his Epstein connections, he must also be investigated for his Thiel connections, because they ran a joint fund when Mandelson fixed Starmer's visit to Palantir

happening this morning in Minneapolis -- ICE agents drawing guns on observers. I reiterate again that it is only a matter of time before DHS kills more innocent people in Minnesota. Congress needs to shut this shit down right now.

One month into 2026 & still little evidence that UKLabour and Wes Streeting are serious about the election promise to ‘Bring back the family Doctor’

Exaggerated numbers of 3000 recruits but in reality less than 1500 & 8000 GPs have completed their training since May 2024

There is a doctor in the Epstein files (not Attia) who was treating him for prostatitis, screening for trichomonas, and who texted with Epstein a lot. Even about cheese pizza and grape soda. I think a reporter should look into that.

How ICE Already Knows Who Minneapolis Protesters Are

A Minnesota woman observing ICE agents in her car was cornered on one-way streets. An agent approached, called her by name—citing facial recognition. Days later, her Global Entry and TSA privileges were revoked, with no explanation.

Vets may have to publish prices of common treatments in government plans The government sets out proposals as data finds vet prices rose at nearly twice the inflation rate.

Curse of private equity.

UK vets may have to publish prices of common pet treatments.

That won't stop rip-off charges and unnecessary treatments.

Must break-up local monopolies, have not-for-profit vets, control prices, boycott greedy vets.

[quietly] this chart is encouraging … especially the 2026 line; you can see the gradient flattening out even on a linear scale and a cumulative plot … Measles has an r0 of 12+. If it were not being aggressively contained in SC we’d be way off the top of the chart by now.

Children's early development at risk with year-long NHS waits A quarter of the 300,000 children waiting for community NHS care have spent more than a year waiting.

Quarter of the 300,000 children in England waiting for 12 months for NHS community care such as hearing services, speech and language therapy & disability support.

Human cost of fiscal rules, lack of public investment.

Lives ruined by political choices.

A better world is possible.

The killing of Alex Pretti is a heartbreaking tragedy. It should also be a wake-up call to every American, regardless of party, that many of our core values as a nation are increasingly under assault.

ICE agent asked why he's taking pictures of a legal observer's car, replies: "Cuz we have a nice little database and now you're considered a domestic terrorist. So have fun with that."

Hello Palantir
#NHS

"1 in 5 pupils are getting a SEND diagnosis..the vast majority then trip into the benefit system because they get child disability allowance allowance.'

This is completely false from Milburn. He's supposed to be reviewing this issue and he's just making things up. Inexcusable.

The NHS draft recommendation against routine prostate cancer screening stems from the conclusion that the harms would outweigh the benefits.

This recommendation provides a comprehensive, scientifically rigorous, and clinically relevant guide to practice

Reading through the FT at the moment is a strange experience: revolution, war, disaster, brutal autocratic oppression, mad dictator shit....and then "markets continue to thrive"; "record profits".

Another important read. The official response to Renee Good's shooting (lies and calling her a communist agitator who deserved to die) is as frightening as the killing itself.
