Letter from the DVLA, addressed to me as a Critical Care consultant, asking for gastroenterology reports, sent to the wrong people then wrong addresses, with increasingly strident letters asking why I’ve not responded.

Amazing! (Help! is *such* a hard song. ‘Cold open’ three part harmony straight into two vocal lines and the instruments all doing different things playing off each other. Making it this effortless is very hard indeed)

Why would a man who follows Jenny Lindsay and Susan Dalgety on X write a hatchet job about a vulnerable young woman who's often targeted by transphobes for a virulently anti-trans newspaper that's being gleefully shared by bigots? Maybe we'll never know.
Speaking of reviews, this doesn't seem like a review to me. This smells like misogynist petty jealousy and meanness wrapped up in a review and it is so fucking tawdry.

The UK government has confirmed it will finally recognise the state of Palestine - a welcome step.
But this must be accompanied by real, concrete actions to bring an end to the genocide in Gaza, including boycotts, sanctions and the end of arms sales to Israel.

Lucy Gossage is just out here casually rewriting history. Incredible woman. Force of nature. 24 carat gold BADASS.
11 days 9 hours and 6 minutes. That's over 2 full days off the outright self supported and female overall record time for the entire 630 mile SWCP. Amazing performance from an NHS superstar cancer consultant on her days off. Brava Lucy!
