Retired Anaesthetist & covid vaccinator. Still have IT role in NHS and in Day Surgery Internationally. Proud Scot, support independence. Long Covid urgently needs research. Brexit is a disaster. Recently caught cycling bug - carbon frames are amazing.

Jason White on US-Israeli strikes on Iran – cartoon Donald Trump’s decision to join Israel in attacking Iran will be an acid test for his core support – and his falling ratings at home

This is an important thread. As a doctor, and as the father of a daughter incapacitated with Long Covid I know only too well how the NHS has abandoned them.

There is much to do in research into treatments and I am glad that colleagues like Binita are championing the forgotten children and adults.

UK launches operation to support thousands of Britons in Middle East Officials are understood to be working on plans to evacuate British nationals, should airspace remain closed.

What's happening in Dubai bolsters the argument taxes should be based on people's nationality, not just their country of residence (ie the US model).

If Brits living abroad can expect to be airlifted out by virtue of being British, they should pay some tax towards that.

Series of three tweets by Zoe Gardner taking down Nigel Farage's support of attacks on Iran.

Apologies to @zoejardiniere.bsky.social for crossposting her tweets from the nasty place, but I felt this deserves airtime on bluesky because of how emphatically they prove the nasty, immoral, opportunistic politics of Reform.

Palantir Sues Swiss Magazine For Accurately Reporting That The Swiss Government Didn’t Want Palantir If you run a company whose entire value proposition is the ability to see patterns, predict outcomes, and connect dots that others miss, you’d think someone in the building might have flagged…

"using Palantir’s software would increase dependence on a U.S. provider. It also poses the risk of losing data sovereignty and thereby national sovereignty.

"Above all, however, the army’s staff experts say it remains unclear who has access to data shared with Palantir."

It's almost as if it would be a good idea to listen to someone who has won multiple elections - governs one of the world's most important cities and economies, with probably the most diverse constituents anywhere in the world. Are you listening, Keir Starmer!!!
