Ukraine represents truth. Russia represents lies. Every time we speak the truth, we support the war effort. Every time we reject lies, we help defeat the enemy.

The lies are the point
The Ukraine war has never been entirely military, or even territorial. It is epistemic.

FT Verdict:

Bromley 2-1 Gillingham

The Ravens record their fourth win of the season and continue to show they are a hard team to beat in League Two.

One defeat in 10 league games and they are slowly but surely getting to grips with the assignment.

Imagine spending all that time wanging on about sovereignty, only to be prepared to sacrifice it on the altar of Trump and Musk. Kidding yourself they’ll give us special treatment while they actively try to undermine our govt and stir up social tension here.
Such dangerous stupidity.

Brilliant to bring together colleagues & talk about NASP’s clinical engagement strategy. Chaired by Dr Mohan Sekeram, we heard from Dr Claire Fuller & Dr Kamila Hawthorne who reflected on this timely agenda as we consider the neighbourhood health model & importance of a #socialprescribing approach

We at Hacked Off are calling for Leveson Part Two AND WE ARE ON BLUESKY!🎊. 📷 Over a decade ago, lies turned into a tangled web of corruption: 'one rogue reporter' became an entire industry crisis, implicating newspapers, police, and even politicians. #Leveson2 #HackedOff #HughGrant

Nursing Times and Future Nurse Digital conference.
Thanks to Prof Natasha Philips for the in invite. My message to nurses concerned about digital future in health- ‘Healthcare will always be human led, and tech enabled’. We must embrace but critical that we influence design.

How privatisation works (and Thames Water is just the latest example).
1. A government takes a national asset built up with taxpayers' money and the work of public servants over many years, and hands it, for a fraction of its value, to a private company.
2. In doing so, it creates a monopoly.

Whilst I’m not leaving X as yet, I would very much like to spend more time here.

So, if you see this and you’d be kind enough to share it to let readers find me, that would be greatly appreciated. Hi!
