Racing Welfare does vital work supporting people in racing. But mental health is complex, and a gap remains for specialist clinical care beyond the charity’s remit. Read my full analysis here:

Love isn't something natural. Rather it requires discipline, concentration, patience, faith, and the overcoming of narcissism. It isn't a feeling, it is a practice.

@geoffbanksbet What a line up! My only issue in these talks (from both sides) is the glaring omission of a behaviour addiction specialist. Seems like in the radical reform approach the human being at the centre of all this is forgotten. @nickluck
The smooth and urbane Simon Clare of Entain, the data centric organisation, and the libertarian bookmaker Geoff Banks on the sofa under the gaze of the artful Nick Luck

This is what BBC Radio 4 and Archive on Four do best. An absolutely deserved celebration of Anthony Clare and his "In the Psychiatrist's Chair". Amazing programme, and as Kirsty Young - no slouch herself - says was the best interviewer of his generation
Thank you @BBCRadio4
for Kirsty Young's
'in the psychiatrist's chair'
Brilliant 👌😍 broadcasting.
I'm now thinking 🤔🧐 of paying my licence fee.
A wonderful hour.
I now have more respect for the work of a psychiatrist.
Every day is a skool day
innit ?

On Sunday I’m running the London Marathon in memory of our stillborn baby boy Archie. I am raising funds for SANDS a charity who do vital work to help the safe delivery of babies. If you can donate I would really appreciate it, with link in my bio ❤️thank you

@SkyNews@RobHarris It would have been useful to interview a trained psychologist/mental health practitioner when approaching the subject of mental health. No one ever does which is indicative of a core issue.
