Can you imagine being called Pontius, becoming a Pilates instructor and NOT calling your business Pontius Pilates? Inexplicable.

@TimHarford I liked them apart from Lovegrove consistently casting/portraying Watson as a dullard. It's like his brain is in slow-mo. The plots are cracking though

@DoctorMayJay My wife is a GP and if the have an acutely sick patient & call for an ambulance, they are told that they aren’t a priority as the patient is already in a place of safety. It’s like they think the surgery waiting room is a resus bay! Anyone else have this?

@MooreWill87 @Cricket_TS The commentary is truly toilet. It's like watching your Sunday league team when you're used to the Prem (TMS ftw)

Adams writing is, as ever, witty, bombastic & funny. That said this feels like it's missing any sort of plot (apart from Arthur falling in love). The missing dolphins is a thread that is left hanging, as are the weird fish bowls! #walkerbookrv https://t.co/qyAnW0owPB

Best typo ever. 😂

Mrs Wallace's Saturday

[Peter Walker @Peterwalks]

Enjoyed this. @RealDMitchell made me chuckle with a romp from King Arthur to Queen Elizabeth (the OG). Honest critique alongside a fair bit of hooliganesque cheering/heckling. John wins worst King imo (although Stephen runs him close) #walkerbookrv https://t.co/h8ruGY5dRb

Only 9 more hours until Gregg Wallace gets let into the gym early to sweat out today's Harvester buffet.

How has England’s NHS fared under Conservative governments?

@C4Ciaran and @FactCheck have been crunching the numbers.

Read the headlines and weep.

I have just finished another set of incredibly difficult weekend nights as the A&E consultant incharge.

Some thoughts:

The NHS no longer provides unscheduled care - we provide treatment. Care is with dignity - that's impossible for our patients in corridors.

The model of acute care is not working or sustainable. We need a completely different approach - with long term investment in prevention and community care

111 need to change risk thresholds as far too many come to a&e when they don't need to.

There needs to be alternative pathways to get care overnight for those who don't have accidents or emergencies. A&E shouldn't be anything and everything

Staff are broke - supporting staff is just as vital as looking after patients

This government have totally decimated our the NHS. They are the ones who should be apologising to our patients not our staff.

Hundreds are dying each week because of lack of hospital capacity and corridor care in a&e, yet it's not on the news and no public uproar. As staff and patients we have accepted the unacceptable.

Everyone needs to know the reality of what is happening - so that politicians offer a different solution and patients get the care they deserve. Sadly most of the public have no idea of what is genuinely going on.

And finally, a post night fry up is the best antidote for the stresses of the weekend. Goodnight!

Exploration of the political/cultural landscape which led to Brexit. Goodhart posits that people are 'somewheres' or 'anywheres'. Chapters on immigration & the breakdown of the family unit were particularly interesting. One for politically motivated #walkerbookrv #booktwt

Last January, I noticed something peculiar in my 2yo’s bedroom that - after a year of obsessive reporting - led me to a profound cosmic revelation about what’s even possible in our universe. A 🧵.

Excellent from Satrapi. A window into the Iranian revolution through her own childhood, adolescence & early adulthood. Inc. short sojourn in Vienna. Dissonance between public & personal life/behaviour was particularly stark. Ta @KW_Translator for the book! #walkerbookrv #booktwt

Stick to the plan, Erik

Another in the Bryson back catalogue. A tour of Central (sort of) Europe. Lots of reminiscences of previous trip with Katz which makes it a bit disjointed. Time in Liechtenstein made me chuckle & 90s Bulgaria stark #walkerbookrv #Audible #booktwt
