It shouldn't be. This started with the MHRA allowing you to wave CES in certain circumstances. EMA have taken the same position earlier this year. Physicochemical characterisation plus PK is normally enough now for some biologics. CES hurdle will remain in some cases, part. complex biologics

Rachel Reeves admits breaking rules by renting out her house without a licence Chancellor is backed by prime minister after saying she ‘inadvertently’ failed to pay fee required by London council

Not loving #Labour, would even vote for someone who'd cut Scottish taxes but if someone made a mistake, corrected it, move on. Unless you are Kemi Badenoch who, ironically, is one of the Tory MPs in the government who brought us PPE corruption

Liz Truss on Westminster Weekly is phenomenal. She's in need of robust mental health support. Like a mad uncle, she covers all the main conspiracy theories of the too online right wing of politics. The Internet has broken brainz.

Is it paranoid to assume that when the font size and icon location randomly changes on my docked laptop that IT have been on it remotely?

Not a green but support the sentiment. The constant promotion of fringe views as mainstream is shifting the Overton window in the UK. It's abhorrent and the established UK parties are chasing the wrong voters as a result of the noise.

#Cadbury's chocolate has somehow managed to get even worse. Which MP was responsible for allowing the sale to #Kraft? They should be locked up in the Tower of London.

Was this not a national strategic asset? Can we #nationalise this along with the railways?

There is no need for a moral panic about the UK's welfare system.

Far from perfect but recent discourse is nuts

Spending is controlled, not spiralling

Worklessness is near record lows

I feel like this photo of masked, armed men pepper spraying a pastor protecting his community is going to be a defining picture of this moment in America for a long, long time.

The US used to lead on sanctioning Russia's shadow fleet, which is Putin's Achilles heel. But no longer (lhs). The US hasn't sanctioned any ships since early January and now sanctions only a pitiful 17 ships on its own (rhs, blue). That has to change. @econharris.bsky.social @brookings.edu

"Glasgow 10k tomorrow, let's use public transport". Checks ScotRail website and for one of the main arteries - Lanark, Hamilton, Newton - no trains. Come on #scotrail so it's now either #firstbus (eh naw) or add another car to the groaning streets of Glasgow. Less #GlasGO, more #glasgonnaenaw.

Let's get progressive guys - with papers. Nothing screams progressive like papers. Next, armbands. But this time for brown people, because let's be honest, thats who reform voters are afraid of as they generally support genocide. Fuck off. #labour #redtories

Keir Starmer to launch progressive fightback against ‘decline and division’ fuelled by far right Prime minister expected to warn UK is ‘at a crossroads’ as he sets out plan to counter Nigel Farage and Reform

Keir Starmer, famous for describing this place as an island of strangers and arresting old folk for pretending to be in Palestine action is leading a progressive fightback? Fuck off. #labour #generallydisappointing

Let’s Talk Tylenol

This podcast deserves amplification. Tylenol (acetaminophen, or paracetamol) is not likely to cause autism. Genetic factors are the primary cause and awareness is the reason for increasing numbers of autistic children. #autism

Reform UK's boycott of our journalists shows they’re anything but transparent You may not think you care - and possibly even think it's good to shut down the 'mainstream media' - but here's why it matters

Further evidence from the gammon who join and lead #reform that they define "free speech" as the right to be racist, not actual freedom. Scummy gits backed by low propensity voters

Opinion | The Playbook Used to ‘Prove’ Vaccines Cause Autism (Gift Article) Data can easily be manipulated to show a causation that doesn’t exist.

My guest essay for The New York Times is live. I break down how flawed science creates the illusion of a vaccine-autism link—and how these manipulations distort public trust. Read the full essay, ‘The Playbook Used to ‘Prove’ Vaccines Cause Autism.’
