@ITattum @pfiennes Hello Ian😊Hope you’re having a lovely time in swanage!

[Ian Tattum @ITattum]

One of the books that has now moved to Swanage in anticipation of retirement is Footnotes by @pfiennes .
Just re read the chapter on Enid Blyton which is the best concise , fair , and witty account of her life and achievements that I know.

Today. This is happening today and it’s scandalous 👇

Recent comments made by the Ambassador of Israel on LBC implying genocidal intent are utterly unacceptable.

I wrote to the Foreign Secretary urging him to summon the ambassador & make it clear that the UK denounces any call for ethnic cleansing.

We need an immediate ceasefire.

Dr Hilary Jones explains that Junior Doctors want salaries to go from £15 an hour to £20 an hour

For contrast, I had an electrician in for an hour last month, he charged £90 for an hour. I'm not saying pay electricians less, I'm saying pay doctors more. That's why I support #DoctorsStrike

I cannot imagine any exam at medical school - let alone finals having questions at this level from PA finals. I would expect most lay people to get these right.

The @DHSCgovuk manoeuvre to roll out 10,000 PAs with poor regulation by @gmcuk and indifference from the Royal Colleges is a major threat to patient safety and may ruin U.K. medicine irreparably

There are 12 days until Christmas, and 100s of families in #Battersea will be worried: not about buying gifts but whether they can afford food & heat for their homes.

I asked the PM what he is doing to ensure families don’t go cold & hungry this Christmas.

The war on drugs is unjust and ineffective. Prioritising communities, health and justice works. But govts continue to fund the war on drugs and fail to invest in justice. We must divest from the unjust drug war and invest in community, health & justice. https://t.co/RUv9sqccsc

🧵 Did you know that drug prohibition is damaging the environment?

Prohibition has created an unregulated and immensely powerful shadow economy, which is undermining environmental progress and governance in the world’s tropical forest frontiers.

I was only metres from the car when I turned round. And I only turned round because I forgot my hat. And I only needed a hat because I'm a year older today & my hair isn't getting any thicker. And there, on the path, a bear shepherding her 3 cubs into the woods. Thank you, world.

Have just had the best evening at this brilliant, thought provoking and at times hilarious play. Huge congratulations to Jon for incredible directing and the talented actors who were so convincing.
