I’m a doctor who cofounded a free app. We use AI to help people quit drinking. We’re funded by InnovateUK & supported by Oxford University NHS foundation trust. In our pilot study, 90% of users reduced or quit altogether. Help us spread the word. #journorequest #dryjanuary #pr

New figures have exposed a worrying rise in people taking the illegal drug Ketamine.

It's a powerful horse tranquilliser and anaesthetic, and experts say it's the UK's fastest growing addiction.

@DrBenSpencer Children whose parents can no longer afford to send them to private school will now increase the burden on state school. For context, I am a lifelong labour voter who attended state school myself 2/2.

[David McLaughlan @fromDrDavid]

@DrBenSpencer Hello Ben, I agree. Taxing education implies that it’s a luxury, when it should be an essential. Taxation is often seen as a punitive deterrent, when education should be encouraged. 1/2

Do @Uber and competitors communicate with each other to make sure their drivers are have safe limits on their working hours? I’m on the motorway with a very sleepy driver whom I’ve suggested pulls over for a rest.

@rcpsychDPSIG @cnwl @HBowdenJonesOBE This is really interesting. Are digital therapeutics therefore contraindicated in this population?

Shell just recorded £32 billion in profit.

3,000 people in the UK die every year because they can't afford to heat their homes.

There’s nothing pragmatic about letting greed run rampant while the poorest freeze to death.

Energy is a public good. It should be in public hands.
