@BrisbaneAirport Hi, do you have a policy for security screening regarding undeveloped film and film cameras? Is undeveloped film safe in checked baggage?
Got chatting to some people at the bus stop. Showed them this graph. They didn’t believe it was true. It is. From the University of Reading. They said why isn’t this on the news? Quite. People are right to panic when they see it. @bbcnews@skynews@itvnews@cnn

EVERY SINGLE SAMPLE we took in Antarctica as part of our microplastic research contained plastic microfibres.
I found plastic from tourists in the penguin colonies.
We even found a big piece of plastic on the seabed.
A few people are questioning whether FPR would actually retain doctors. I’ll be finishing FY2 this year, so am in a natural exit point for training. Whilst I might not be representative, I thought this might be interesting for people
Why have I not applied for training? A 🧵

Went on live TV…
Talked about Brexit being shite
Talked about how we need a grown-up conversation about rejoining
And yet somehow…
Despite Brexit being an unmitigated disaster
Nick Ferrari can’t quite believe his ears…
I remember seeing news footage of Nigel Farage’s Brexit march consisting of about 30 bellends and a whippet…
But no British news coverage of this incredible strike action from yesterday:
Here’s my payslip as a first year doctor in 2005, next to a first year doctor colleague’s in 2023. 18 years later, their take home salary is less than mine was. I lived for free in hospital accommodation and had a fraction of their student loan.

Chart brings home my time in NHS. I started with long waiting lists in the 1980's - 18 months for hip. Then Thatcher night of the long knives where staff were cut. Then Blair/Brown. Those were amazing years - I did not believe we could get those waiting lists down but we did! 1/3
2/2 @E_N_O gives FREE tickets to under 21s. It leads the way on diversity & creativity, and lead a huge Covid response with #Breathe. It is the best of us, an example of @ace_national best practice. This proposal will reduce ENO, reduce the UK & reduce us all. We say NO! #LoveENO
Went to @E_N_O last night. Full house. Reasonably priced (by West End standards). Didn't know ENO gives out 10s of thousands of free seats to under 21s. It one of the most accessible (& non-eletist) opera companies on the planet. And it has just lost ALL of its funding.
I'm not a royalist. I'm not actually necessarily a fan of the Duke and Duchess of Sussex. But one thing I can see is clearly inconsistent treatment of Meghan for identical behaviour as Kate. Which raises the question as to the reason for the difference. A thread...
