This chart is from @britishelectionstudy.com @jamesdgriffiths.bsky.social, me and Ed Fieldhouse. You can see that 2024 Reform voters mainly came from the Conservatives or UKIP in 2015.
This has been a story on the right for *ten years* now, unless something very different happened last week.

Continuity of care and relationship-based GP is vital… not just for primary care - it will create a scaffold with tangible benefit for hospital care too.
A point @ics-updates.bsky.social made in our submission to the Palliative Care Commission too
GPs deserve a system that reaps their true value

📣 The Value of a GP
We've made it very clear: general practice is vital to a healthy NHS.
This new BMA report lays out the evidence – economic, clinical, and human – that shows why GPs are essential. Continuity of care is the remedy.

The importance of boundaries for #HCP.
Ask yourself: Would refusing to do this cause patient harm, me to lose my job, is it dangerous, or will it damage my own integrity? If the answer is no, hold your boundary, *even if* it inconveniences others, fires up your FOMO, or is career limiting. #acprc25

UK has widest wealth inequality gap in Europe. US still worse.
The UK and the US are becoming a very particular kind of “poor country”.
Not poor overall in the big league tables, but in a situation where the average citizen lives in poverty.
And if that doesn’t motivate you to change things, I don’t know what will?
From @dannydorling.bsky.social’s book.

Move away from blame culture in relation to smoking cessation. Unless you've quit smoking yourself you don't know what it's like to stop, and even if you have you haven't done it from your patient's specific circumstances/situation. Ask non- judgemental questions about smoking status. #acprc25

We need breath to have a voice, to laugh, to move. To interact with the world.
How would you define yourself without these things?
Without breath, a person can become invisible - housebound, unheard, isolated.
