The Guardian has published a story that we were not approached about prior to publication.

Had they done so, they would have been informed it was not true.

We won’t be giving a running commentary on what have so far been constructive talks with the BMA.

This is a brilliant, enraging piece on the nightmare of wheelchair services

Nondisabled people tend to think we get the wheelchairs we need for free. The reality is many of us are forced to spend thousands just to be able to leave the house

No longer behind a paywall! Here is my analysis of the failures of medical and scientific advice identified by the COVID Inquiry and why the medical establishment remains silent https://t.co/ac4LFEspzl

Today Andy launched Greater Manchester’s Local Nature Recovery Strategy, the first to be published in the North.

He was joined by @MaryCreagh_ , @TomWRoss and partners from environmental organisations across the North West at Mayfield Depot – a powerful example of how new green space can be created at the heart of a growing city.

I loathe the misogyny and classism directed at Rayner and feel huge sympathy for her.
What a pity. An honourable resignation.
Who's next?

Why the UK decision not to suppress Covid led to tens of thousands of avoidable deaths and raises questions about medical and scientific advice. My analysis in the BMJ. https://t.co/FsAKPeWJVA

@IndependentSage are officially fed up to the back teeth of all the eejits posting outright nonsense about mRNA vaccines, especially those feckless morons currently destroying public health in the US...
So, we wrote another report. Hope it's helpful.

This looks good….previews from tonight. Sean Theatre, RSC Stratford-upon-Avon.

And the UK Labour government has also slashed aid. Billions diverted from health and education to drones and guns. Be in no doubt; thousands of the poorest families will suffer bereavement and hunger. The media won’t be there to report.

Don’t believe the nonsense and myths from the anti-zero carbon brigade of billionaires, oil lobbyists, grifters and far right denialists. Climate change is accelerating and threatens every region of the world.

[Anthony Costello @globalhlthtwit]

Yes US policy is mad. Stocks fallen back to about a year ago but 20% more falls in pipeline. Banks and private equity in trouble. US consumers will revolt. Depression possible. But the really big news we won’t discuss is bonkers heatwaves from a climate TIPPING point everywhere.

[Anthony Costello @globalhlthtwit]

Er.. this should be headline news.
