I like New Year Resolutions:

1. get my French from early B2 to C1
2. Lose 15 kg and get in shape
3. Walk at least 15k steps a day
4. Go to the cinema at least once a month
5. Start using a proper to-do list

🆕📰 The latest data from our HPV vaccination programme shows 1 in 4 school‑leavers are unvaccinated against HPV. This leaves young women at risk of cervical cancer and both sexes vulnerable to other HPV‑related cancers.

1 in 4 school-leavers missing out on protection offered by HPV vaccine against several cancers

Dr Sharif Ismail
Consultant Epidemiologist
at UKHSA, said:
While HPV uptake has remained stable, vaccination rates are still well below pre-pandemic levels and around 1 in 4 young people are still leaving school unprotected against several cancers.
Driving up vaccine uptake will require sustained, targeted action across the NHS and wider health partners with support in schools, to improve awareness of the life-saving importance of HPV vaccination and ensure it’s easy to get, especially if you have missed out. Young people remain eligible to catch up at their GP surgery until their 25th birthday.

Lovely lunch in Paris today with @jonhenley.bsky.social and @stevenhseggie.bsky.social where we toasted dogs departed.

Let me have a little think

In Germany they’d have police at the airport iirc to stop Turks taking their kids to Turkey in term time

I remember being very surprised when people I knew, who I considered had a strong emotional tie with Labour, switched to the SNP in the early 2000s

I really don't think it's an issue in the UK, there are other unique problems

That’s strange because it’s excellent in the Paris RER/metro network.

She’s the perfect First Lady in that regard. Never quite believed in voting for the team.

In the US going to church regularly is a mainstream thing which is why evangelicals are so powerful. In the UK barely 1% of the population goes so any impact is trivial.

Steven Seggie @stevenhseggie.bsky.social · 21h

Yeah but nobody goes to church in the UK so it matters less

Steven Seggie @stevenhseggie.bsky.social · 21h

Yeah you don’t se chickens going on strike or going slower if there are leaves around.

London’s murder rate is at its lowest since comparable records began. That makes the city safer than Paris, Berlin and New York. Discount the inflammatory content on social media

London is far safer than violent viral videos will have you believe

Contrary to social-media lore, it is one of the safest cities in the world

Hero of the day. Tony Slater, who rummaged through discarded McDonald’s litter on verge, found a receipt, contacted the local environmental health officer. Who contacted McD, who used CCTV to work out the car responsible.
Result: £500 fine. 💥

I am hearing that RFK Jr.’s minions are going to go after HPV vaccines. I’ve got problems with these people and now you’re going to hear about them, first from a personal perspective and then from a professional one.

It all boils down to this: WE HAVE A SAFE VACCINE THAT PREVENTS CANCER.

Steven Seggie @stevenhseggie.bsky.social · 1d

Ahh I thought it the other way round

Steven Seggie @stevenhseggie.bsky.social · 1d

I do that, although to be fair I’ve also called the new dog my wife and my daughter’s name.

The build in problem with far right global alliances is that they fail as a result of a feature of themselves.

🚨🚨Late to this but this seems to be a MAJOR story: Slovakia’s PM #Fico (a Trump alley) told EU leaders at a summit last week that a meeting with #Trump left him shocked by the US president’s state of mind. 🧵https://www.politico.eu/article/donald-trump-florida-robert-fico-eu-summit-nato/

European leader spoke of shock at Trump’s state of mind after Mar-a-Lago meeting

As always, cannot resist posting my personal favourite, which was aired on Turkish TV more than a decade ago now

Theory aired on Turkish TV alleges that Shakespeare was a secret Muslim whose "real name was Sheikh Pir".

Are there any Vigée Le Brun experts on here? Do we know where her studio was during the 1770–80s? Presumably Paris, but ... where 👩‍🎨

I'm trying to paint a picture (lol) of her working life, but haven't been able to pin it down for certain #18c
