One million of you need to register by the end of today.

REGISTER TO VOTE

Nigel Farage says the NHS model isn't working and that we need to fund the NHS with private insurance

Nigel Farage then says France's health outcomes are same as ours for the exact same sum of money

Look at this chart, France spends MORE per person on their health service than the UK

Daisy Cooper points out that the King's Fund research shows that the only thing which makes a difference is how much money you put into your health service

STUDENTS: REGISTER TO VOTE RIGHT NOW!

The law is as follows.

1. You can register at home AND at your term-time address, if that's more convenient for you.

2. You can CHOOSE on the day where to vote.

3. But you can ONLY legally vote in ONE place on the day.

1. My top imaging trick to trainees is that before they spend any time taking pictures of the data they just sit there for a while & look at the stuff. Like seriously, sit back, crank some tunes, get cozy & spend some quality time with your slides.

Chatted to Prof Sir Mel Greaves tonight at an event, one of @ICR_London ‘s most celebrated scientists & a world leader in childhood leukemia research

This man is amazing & I can’t believe more people in UK/world don’t know about his work or the work of @ICR_London

So lets go back to the start. Is it okay for a supermarket to make a profit? Sure, but they can't be allowed to do that at the expense of their suppliers in a way that causes catastrophic damage to the food supply chain. And margin is a distraction given the scale of sales. 11/

NEW: The most important charts for understanding public opinion on immigration in the UK today

1) In the past, immigration worries rose in lockstep for all voters. But this year only hardline Conservatives seem to be concerned, suggesting it’s not actual numbers driving concern

‘OFSTED have been in today and reduced all the staff to tears. I can’t bear it. I can’t say anything publicly for obvious reasons but I’ve never seen OFSTED from this side. As Governors we were treated with rudeness, shut down and the inspector clearly had an agenda’

[Richard Murphy @RichardJMurphy]

Of all the taxes in the UK that Jeremy Hunt could cut, inheritance tax is easily the most stupid right now. Doing so would save millions for a few already relatively rich people, do nothing for the economy, and increase inequality. A thread….

NEW: we need to talk about UK graduate wages, and the idea that Britain sends too many people to university.

American readers should stick around for the UK/US comparisons 👀

Let’s start with this: the UK graduate wage premium has fallen substantially over the last 25 years
