ITV's drama #TheHack is a must-watch. A great series about the brilliant investigative journalist NickDavies' exposure of the phone hacking scandal. @sussexbylines.co.uk featured him in the first Defenders of Democracy series sussexbylines.co.uk/politics/dem...

Delighted to be invited back to where my psychology journey began nearly 30 years ago at Stirling University to present my work & new book to the Health Psychology Group. Thanks for the invite Dr Arran Reader. Ps. Stunning campus, especially in autumn, but parking remains a bit of a nightmare.

‘The NHS is dying before our eyes’ I talk to the head of the BMA in Scotland. He tells me patients “are dying” unnecessarily because of delays; doctors feel no “pride” any more in the NHS & there’s a “toxic culture” of cover-up In @heraldscotland.bsky.social www.heraldscotland.com/news/2550016...

Heartbreaking ❤️‍🩹

I think a lot about what Carl Sagan said in one of his final interviews.

84% of the public wants the NHS to be primarily funded through taxation (source below). Meanwhile… Farage is saying this. We *must* build the movement to fight for the NHS now. I’m absolutely determined about it 💙💥 www.thenational.scot/news/2513023...

A face that’s very hard to say no to. #dogsky #scottie

Could have done with this nearly 50 years ago but good news for any wee babies with heart block now. 👏👏👏 #medsky newsroom.heart.org/news/tiny-pa...

I honestly don’t know how anyone who is immersed in the news cycle 24/7 as a part of their work isn’t losing their minds a little bit right now at the human cost of what’s happening. Some folks must just be really good at dissociating and compartmentalizing, and shutting down empathy to keep going.
