If you’ve ever sat, frustrated, in front of a new consultant whilst they spend 15 minutes at their computer reading through your medical file or ended up in A&E, and they are wondering where to begin, then maybe something like this might help. My medical history on a page has proved very useful

The BAD/BAM episode of the IBD podcast, featuring an interview with Prof. Julian Walters , has been the most downloaded by far. We suspect a good number of HCPs have been listening as it is an area that so few seem to know anything about.

Christopher Harborne is by far the largest donor to Nigel Farage he has donated £13.7m since 2019.
He lives in Thailand and owns QinetiQ defence company which makes Laser and AI weapons for the USA.
Nigel Farage is literally owned by the US Military Industrial Complex.

15 yrs ago, on 11th Oct 2010, I was just coming round from a laparotomy, ileo-caecal excision of locally perforated Crohn’s mass/stricture and excision of an entero-enteric fistula. The surgeon's first word was "sorry", at which point I knew I had a stoma.

@mrjamesob.bsky.social I asked Grok why Musk is getting involved in UK politics. This is part of the answer
“In summary, Musk's involvement stems from a toxic blend of personal vendettas, ideological crusades against "woke" policies, and pragmatic pushes to shield his empire from regulation.”

Nick Robinson just asked John Curtice if the BBC giving a platform to Farage & Reform was responsible for their popularity; presumably hoping to hear the polling guru say a resounding "no".
Instead, Curtice said, "it's not just that, it's also how he uses it"
So the answer's clearly yes.
