A graphic reading

A graphic reading: 59% of doctors said they delivered care in a temporary care environment between June and August 2025.

Corridor care is now a year-round reality. Almost 3 in 5 physicians reported delivering care in a temporary space over the summer, according to our latest snapshot survey.
We’re calling on the #NHS & governments to address & prevent this practice for good.

And they haven't posted their statement on their account on the other place. Wonder why........

Vaccinations have been so successful that “there's been a collective forgetting that measles, and mumps, and rubella—these used to be diseases that would kill people in fairly large numbers,” the Nobel laureate Jennifer Doudna tells Jeffrey Goldberg at The Atlantic Festival. bit.ly/46a5DUE

Letter from Ed Davey to Keir Starmer condemning Elon Musk for inciting violence and urging unity to defend democracy.

I've written to Keir Starmer, Kemi Badenoch and Nigel Farage, urging them to join me in condemning Elon Musk's dangerous remarks inciting violence yesterday.

As leaders, we must stand together and make clear Musk will face serious consequences for these actions.

Appalled by the violent scenes of police being attacked at the Tommy Robinson rally today. Those responsible should face the full force of the law.

These far right thugs do not speak for Britain.
