How long will it remain miraculous?

A miracle dementia cure is just round the corner. Any time now. Honest.

Right out in the open, Donald Trump is suing his own IRS to try to steal $10 BILLION taxpayer dollars. I just introduced a bill that would make this theft ILLEGAL.

Dear Media: Blindly quoting the President without fact-checking or context is just misinformation with a press pass. We don’t need stenographers; we need journalists. Do your job.

Very glad to have had this talk with @preetbharara.bsky.social staytuned.substack.com/p/on-tyranny...

Thanks Shibs - I’d forgotten all about these.

I have enjoyed Prof Timothy Morton's latest adventure in, "those who do not learn from the mistakes of the future are doomed to repeat them". In other news, on the failure of partnerships working these are brilliant. @bobhudson.bsky.social

Bella Kay has dropped off quite a bit. Could be anyone's game for number one. #uktop100singles

If you step back, it is truly extraordinary that so many people went to such great lengths and broke so many conventions and risked their political careers and the only outcome of all these efforts and risks was appointing a washed-up old spinner to an ambassadorial post

"Boundary spanning" is my final chapter in my proposed book on neighbourhood health for frailty and dementia. All thanks to Liz Sargeant.

What failure? bsky.app/profile/rajl...

Back when there were senior Labour people that you wouldn't be embarrassed to be seen next to.

A different political era.

Yawning in THE LAW OF DIMINISHING RETURNS

From my Bachelor of Laws graduation in 2009.

Oh God Shibs - do you want an essay? There are so, so, so, so many problems with the way healthcare engages with digital. I could write an essay. But yes - putting something on a screen for no reason is a waste of time.

I've decided to include a chapter in my book proposal on neighbourhoods (an integrated approach for frailty and dementia) on why large change transformations sometimes fail in the NHS and adult social care, and what can be learnt about previous failures.

It should never be just about digital. At some point - and speedily - there should be a convo between doctor and patient. Sometimes it's ok for this to be a phone consult (I've appreciated this hugely in the past) and at other times nothing suffices or delivers other than face-to-face

It's rarely more than paper on a screen. Too many clinicians (I am looking at you surgery and T&O) don't care about how it could transform services in acute settings. Not forcing community and hospitals to make their systems integrate is a massive failure. It's not hard just unpleasant to do.

Credit where credit is due. Personal opinion. I think we should be closer to the European Union. We are right to distance ourselves from the current US administration.

So glad to see someone so beautifully articulate what I think about almost every day….

"I'm just contemplating the fact that one moron, one psychotic moron, one capricious idiot, has completely bollocksed up the global economy not only to the detriment of his own people, but the detriment of the planet. ... It's like how much more of this can the planet take?"

In Hungary as elsewhere Trump and Vance did what was wrong and failed at it.

This is very true! And as the research on the issue shows and as the Hungarian example confirms, and the Polish one before that, the key to large turnout is long-term, grass-roots organizational labor that helps people understand how their single vote is a dignified part of a larger transformation.

Meningits kills. The NHS saved my life. From 2007. End of message.

i bet £20 on Arsenal 1 Bournemouth 2 and came away wit £300 win

Great result for Man City. Arsenal should hang their heads in shame over Bournemouth. @mancunianmedic.bsky.social

Look at the women at NASA. They are the ones pushing the boundaries of science, solving problems most people can’t even understand, and carrying this country forward, while our politicians right now posture and stumble through talking points. And they are doing it all with joy.👇

This painting, titled "Malcesine on Lake Garda" (1913), is an oil painting by Austrian Symbolist Gustav Klimt. The original no longer exists, destroyed in May 1945 by fire at Schloss Immendorf in Austria, reportedly set by retreating German forces in World War II.

Dear Spain 🇪🇸 Do you know how lucky you are? We all envy you that you have Pedro Sanchez!!

Thanks for your kind encouragement across a number of social media platforms. Don't worry. I will continue speaking out about the real carer's experience for my mother with advanced frailty and dementia. It's important that people like me are included in neighbourhood or modern services talk.

I feel confident in the critical gerontological challenge I am articulating in response to the N.H.S. policy on frailty and dementia. It is strongly footed in fundamental sociology.

I think it's important that a vision of frailty and dementia is intellectually driven from lived experiences before a hideously annoying groupthink corporate cult takes over.

They’ve got it 🏆

Well done to a brilliant Cambridge crew.

Both crews are fantastic.

Gracious in defeat Shibs. Well done Oxford women. Well done everyone for keeping sport going in these troubled times. #boatrace
