The Conservatives have spent £12 billion on Test and Trace, with private companies like Serco having been handed fortunes to run it.
And now the system is unravelling because it was using Excel spreadsheets.
Scandalous.
£9k job losses announced today since 3pm with more to come...the day after we Brexit extension deadline. Do not think this is just about Covid....this is about a Govt prepared to gamble with peoples lives ,jobs, livelihoods.
We've had a brilliant day sharing what we do - huge thanks to everyone at bloodwise for the opporunity. Most of all, thanks to every single blood cancer patient who has been involved over the years, it’s been the greatest privilege to work alongside you.

What were the symptoms that people experienced? First of all, looking at all blood cancers - we see tiredness, pain, lumps most commonly but also some others.

What is the chance of a single person developing a blood cancer in their lifetime? We recently put together a visualisation for Bloodwise and the result may surprise you - blood cancer is more common than you might think.

The situation is actually a bit more complicated - different blood cancers are more common at different ages. Acute lymphoblastic leukaemia is more common in young children and Hodgkin lymphoma has two peaks - in young adults and older patients.

We work very closely with our NHS colleagues to identify every single blood cancer patient in our study region as they are diagnosed. This is only possible because we have a centralised diagnostic lab (HMDS) - this doesn't happen elsewhere!
Exciting news! Next Wednesday (26 Sept), we'll be taking control of Bloodwise's twitter account. We'll be digging into how HMRN works and exploring our research. There may also be cake! Follow @bloodwise_uk to join us. #MakeBloodCancerVisible
