You will not find a clearer thinker and good human being to boot. Medical leadership is painfully difficult and unfortunately full of mediocrity at an important time for the profession. Vote for someone better! bsky.app/profile/drlk...

Off with his head!

Suspect Tudor won’t last past March if Spurs don’t get at least 4 points from those 3 PL fixtures.

The majority of March/April Fixtures are there to be won…
Palace - winnable
Pool - will lose
Forest - should win
Sunderland - should win
Brighton - winnable
Wolves - should win.

A children's hospital is renamed for Dolly Parton and hopes to transform pediatric care in Tennessee Dolly Parton’s name might inspire full-throated sing-a-longs to her working woman’s anthem β€œ9 to 5,” or evoke memories of thrilling days spent at her Dollywood theme park.

β€œDolly Parton Children’s Hospital did not share how much Parton donated as part of the naming announcement. But Matt Schaefer, its president and CEO, said her support would ensure β€˜every child who walks through our doors receives the treatment they deserve.’”

GOD BLESS DOLLY PARTON

Weird that Reform is OK with Irish citizens voting but not commonwealth ones. Wonder what the difference could be?

You think after the last 10 years of anti- migrant focused policy, we’d realise that this argument is ultimately wrong on multiple levels.

Trump and Netanyahu launched their war on Iran at a time when it still looked as though there might be a chance for diplomacy. Was this because they suddenly got intelligence about Ayatollah Khamenei’s whereabouts, and realised they could kill him?

It’s interesting how open the IRGC are being about the losses to their leadership hierarchy.

From 'buzzing' to 'relief': Gorton and Denton voters react to result Residents in Gorton and Denton share their opinions after the Green's historic by-election victory.

Just a moment to say, despite everything we are fed this morning.

Why are more GPs opting to work outside the NHS? More doctors and patients are turning to the private sector as demand increases pressure on the NHS.

IDF has launched another wave of attacks on Tehran this morning.

Iran has sent more drones/missiles into Doha, Oman and Dubai - with explosions heard in all three places.

Labour must stop channelling Reform and unite with progressives. That’s the lesson from Gorton and Denton | Sadiq Khan The threat to the party in some parts of our country is now existential. But we can progress, as we have in London, by being bold and strong in our core beliefs, says London mayor Sadiq Khan

"Trying to compete with Reform not only feels inauthentic... but a betrayal of what Labour is supposed to represent. We must address the concerns and fears of voters, not play on them."

Damning stuff from Sadiq Khan

Irrespective of the β€œsuccessful” targeted killing of Khamenei, we mustn’t forget the killing of 107 school girls in Iran.

In this world of unimaginable surveillance, intelligence and accuracy, the bombing of a school is unforgivable and cannot be accepted as unfortunate collateral damage.

As journalists working today many of us are taught to recognise disinformation when we see it and fight back against it.

Unfortunately there are some who willingly seek it out and put it on their front pages. A disgrace to the profession.

This is a very bad idea, for several reasons. Here are 10, for starters:

1.
It discriminates against students who have required additional financial support

2.
It fails to address the reasons for poor retention

3.
...and it only shifts the retention problem a few years further down the line

Oh no.
Gutted to have learnt of this today.

Remember being introduced to Red Dwarf as a sub-ten yr old, both book and TV series.

RIP Rob Grant. You and your creations were certainly a formative part of my life.
