We’ve had this game of Cluedo since the 1970s. The ‘preparations for play’ truck no nonsense and the implements are weighty originals, save for the rope which had to be improvised. I won (Col Mustard, conservatory, lead pipe) so plainly the day job has transferable skills

Nowhere in the hysterical pile-on against the BBC in the British press has anyone mentioned that BBC News now has 77 million viewers & listeners in the US and has established itself as the second most trusted news source there.

WAIT A SECOND.

Ministers commissioned a sentencing review and introduced the Sentencing Bill, knowing that change was needed to address the prisons crisis. But they risk making it even worse.

Demolishing 1 Silk Street would waste carbon and damage local character. A retrofit could save both. We’ve objected to the plans, now it’s time to rethink how we treat our existing buildings. Why demolish when we can refurbish? Reuse saves heritage, carbon, & character. 👉 shorturl.at/VjnpU

The Times reviews #TheCutThroatTrial. The verdict? Book of the Month! “This warty portrait of a crumbling judiciary rings horribly true…A hugely entertaining and disturbing debut.” 😻 And, with suspicious timing, the book is 40% off today on Amazon, if you fancy. www.amazon.co.uk/gp/aw/d/1035...

A very important caveat to the "AI stethoscope" that was completely ignored by many news outlets. Yet a high false positive rate can make a screening tool more harmful than useful. How can we encourage health journalists to be more critical of AI press releases? Cc @mgtmccartney.bsky.social

I don’t think the media explains to people properly what politicians are doing to the NHS 🚨-this is more important than ever, because Labour is advancing NHS privatisation. I started a newsletter in my spare time to explain what’s going on. Click here: jujuliagrace.substack.com💙

To appease bankers Reeves says Thames Water should find ‘market-based solution’. Not possible. It is a monopoly, no competition, no choice. Since 1989 TW paid £10.4bn in dividends, £13.68bn interest payments. Rocketing bills, sewage in rivers. We can't afford more of the same. Nationalise water.

Personally, I’ve always thought Newcastle couldn’t get enough coals. Thx SB, I’ve been looking forward to it since preorder days @barristersecret.bsky.social

NEW BLOGPOST: Why did the jury acquit Ricky Jones? thesecretbarrister.com/2025/08/16/w...

As we watch Keir Starmer and his team expand NHS privatisation, please remember that he was elected to become Labour leader saying specifically that he would remove NHS private outsourcing. He then quietly dropped this pledge in Summer 2022. This isn’t OK 🚨

PSA for anyone interested in cow with calf milk. I visited the farm a few years ago but at that stage they were not doing mail order. With p&p it costs about the same as organic oat milk. Easy to freeze & indistinguishable from fresh when defrosted oldhallfarmshop.co.uk

Please consider signing this petition, which proposes an increase in funding and improvement in care for people with Parkinson’s. It needs to reach 100000 signatures and then it will be discussed in parliament

petition.parliament.uk/petitions/71... if like me you’re watching the #cricket and finding it too nerve wracking a great distraction would be to sign the #parkypetition100K and push it over 96000

Ooh the #parkypetition100K is in the nervous 90s. Can we hit 93000 by 8:20am? petition.parliament.uk/petitions/71...

EveryDoctor is being trolled. This isn’t surprising; whenever we hold powerful people to account, we’re attacked. But it’s deeply unpleasant 🚨 Our incredible network are showing support though, and we’re so touched. We’ve almost sold out of all bags😮🥰💙- about 20 left now… Ad shop.everydoctor.org.uk
