The BOA is deeply saddened by the loss of Oliver Adebayo. We had the pleasure of working with Oliver as BOTA President. His kindness, professionalism and dedication made a lasting impression on all who knew him. Our heartfelt condolences go to his family, friends and colleagues at this very difficult time. Our thoughts are with them all.
Remarkable speech from @MarkJCarney, urging allies to stop playing along with great-power intimidation. Compliance won’t buy safety, he warns. Stop appeasing bullies. Carney draws applause.
Citing Václav Havel, he says it’s "time for companies and countries to take their signs down." Under communism, ordinary people displayed slogans like "Workers of the world, unite!" even when they didn’t believe them, rituals of compliance meant to avoid trouble. Coercion, Havel argued, wasn’t always enforced through violence, but through quiet, everyday participation in a lie.
Carney receives a standing ovation at the end of his speech.
Extraordinary to see Canada asserting this kind of moral and strategic leadership, something we haven’t witnessed on the world stage in decades, especially at a moment when we have so much to lose if Trump chooses retaliation.

Why the UK's ban on investment in housing, infrastructure and energy is not just a problem. It is *the* problem.
And how fixing it is the defining task of our generation.

A brilliant fortnight spent in Ganga Hospital with the trauma and oncology units, exploring fantastic surgical facilities and learning from an extraordinary team.
Thank you to the @RoySocMed for supporting with the award of the William Bodey Travelling Fellowship.
@KateFlood @townsendyesmate If you look into the detail this is an essentially 6% pay rise without any safeguards against future inflation despite the great headlines-

These trauma surgeons thought they’d seen the worst of the worst. But nothing they’d experienced prepared them for the horrors they found in Gaza, as civilians and children suffer under Israel’s bombing campaign.
