With a bunch of fellow #parkies before the big debate

Westminster Hall debate: e-petition 713714 relating to funding and care for people with Parkinson's This evening, people can follow or catch up later on www.parliamentlive.tv

open.substack.com/pub/rorycell... Helen Matthews of Cure Parkinson’s and Claire Bale of Parkinson’s UK discuss how they make small sums (compared to big pharma) go a long way in funding research. And a reminder - the Westminster debate spurred by our Parky Charter is at 6pm!!!

Cheer up #sophiefromromania I know the Prof left for Cambridge before 6 but today’s a big day - it’s Debate Day!

So what does Trump’s u-turn on releasing the Epstein files mean? Has the DOJ now finished cleaning them up?

Paris by night

Buckle up - because this now amounts to a direct and deliberate attack on our country and its cultural sovereignty. Which side our politicians take - Trump's or the BBC's - over the coming days and weeks will speak volumes about their patriotism.

“Emails highlight Jeffrey Epstein and Steve Bannon relationship” - note that in 2018 Bannon was trying to interfere in UK politics, cheered on by Epstein www.bbc.com/news/article...

Can we repair the ageing brain? 🧠 The UK DRI's Prof Bart De Strooper and Prof Julie Williams join Prof Sonia Gandhi, @rorycj.bsky.social and host Brian Cox to discuss dementia and the ageing brain on the latest episode of @crick.ac.uk's new podcast 'A Question of Science' 🎙️👉 buff.ly/WymdYJ6

The prof has whisked me away for the weekend- can you work out where we are?

Early start for #sophiefromromania and me this morning

Happy birthday #sophiefromromania - 4 today! We celebrated by taking you out for an early frisky walk

Bosses will resign, right?

America will have to live with the shame of making this man President forever. www.theguardian.com/us-news/live...

Breaking News: House Democrats released emails in which Jeffrey Epstein alleged that Donald Trump knew of the convicted sex offender's conduct and “spent hours at my house” with a victim.

open.substack.com/pub/rorycell... My latest from the frontline of the battle to cure Parkinson’s - could one huge donation bring the breakthrough that has been so long in coming?

youtu.be/GhE3A0bGMHg?... once I had got over my imposter syndrome are hugely enjoyed being on this podcast with brilliant scientists answering smart questions about how we can tackle neurodegenerative diseases.

An autumnal #sophiefromromania this morning - for me the heaps of fallen leaves are a trip hazard but for her they’re a playground

Occasionally thanks to my brother Simon I get a bit of a Hollywood evening - really proud of him #TheFamilyPlan2 #AppleTV

A major cat investigation from #sophiefromromania this morning

It’s already started - the BBC allows Newsmax boss to opine about bias, suggest some of the Jan 6 mob were merely innocent tourists visiting Congress, without pushback

SUPERB and angrily unvarnished response, by former BBC chairman, Lord Patten. "I don't think that we should allow ourselves to be bullied into thinking that the BBC is only any good, if it reflects the prejudice of the last person who shouted at it." ~AA

Maybe Keir should demand the heads of major US news networks any time they imply Britain is on the brink of civil war or that we live under sharia law. Or does it not work both ways?

Sorry for very late #sophiefromromania content but I have been in a fascinating #parkinsons research meeting- before that we had a nice wet walk in the park with Juno

Beautiful misty morning for the Sunday walk with #sophiefromromania - she’s back to being nervous about the graveyard, which to be fair was pretty spooky this morning . Then home for a #bigbreakfast

www.sheffieldtribune.co.uk/sometimes-it... I wrote last week about two villains and one hero in the battle between truth and lies. Well here’s another hero - the Sheffield Tribune, one of the Mill stable of independent news sites, had the courage to publish an important story despite legal threats..

and there's @rorycj.bsky.social popping up in this second ep of the two-part series about girl bands on BBC2 ...

I like that Maisie Adam off Have I Got News for You…

A bit late with today’s #sophiefromromania pics - wading through leaves with the prof this morning

I’m getting help with my work from #sophiefromromania and friends

open.substack.com/pub/dandiamo... Here’s a great example of how the social media industry is wired to prefer colourful false information over the mundane truth

open.substack.com/pub/rorycell... After a trip to a college in Ebbw Vale to talk about fake news some reflections on the battle between truth and falsehood - and how the tech giants reward ‘clickable’ lies

If anyone was looking for solid evidence that a crash is imminent, here it is:

#sophiefromromania had quite a good bin day walk but must learn not to lunge at people or dogs

At first I thought it was a squirrel that had got #sophiefromromania so excited but now I’m not so sure…

On her second trip to the park with the river #sophiefromromania had a good at the water but decided it wasn’t the day for a swim

It was chucking it down when the prof drove us to the park early this morning. But we ended up, despite a bit of barking at other dogs, having a great walk with #sophiefromromania who rediscovered the graveyard after months of being scared of it. So we all deserved a #bigbreakfast

Why am I not surprised?! There’s always a crypto angle…

open.substack.com/pub/rorycell... Beforehand there were disagreements amongst the #Movers&Shakers about giving publicity to what some regard as a fringe therapy. But I think you’ll agree that the scientist promoting this idea gave us plenty to think about.

This is beyond grotesque. Another young journalism who treats the lives of minorities as a game. I know plenty of people who still hang out with this guy – I can't respect that as a decision when he's publicly gloating about further stigmatising disabled people.

About to go on Times Radio - in their great speeches format they’re focusing on an Elon Musk speech about living on Mars

open.substack.com/pub/rorycell... Unlocking your health data - the UK should be well-placed to be a health AI winner but privacy worries hold us back. One organisation thinks it has the answer - put patients in charge of their data

Spotted out early on the mean streets of Ealing the prof and #sophiefromromania

Cuddly #sophiefromromania had to be told grapes weren’t good for her

A major sniffathon from #sophiefromromania this morning
