This piece is billed as ‘father of girls thinks misogyny lessons are unnecessary’ but right at the end he actually asks the girls he is confidently speaking on behalf of and they…disagree. Amazing. www.thetimes.com/life-style/p...

When I was a medical student 45 years ago, I clerked in a 13 year old girl with deep jaundice and an abdominal mass. She was Hepatitis B positive. That had led to a primary liver tumour. In a 13-year-old. She was dead within the month. Avoidable with vaccination.
The CDC has endorsed ACIP’s decision of revoking universal access in USA to hepatitis B vaccines at birth. The policy had been in place for 34y and was changed despite no new evidence emerging of any risk of vaccination. #HealthPolicy 🧵
CDC accepts ACIP’s hepatitis B vaccine recommendations for babies
The CDC also said if a baby is not receiving a birth dose of vaccine, the initial dose should be administered no earlier than 2 months of age.

Overheard train chat between two tough-looking youths:

Youth one: “I got déjà vu, man. I saw this dog and felt like I’d seen it before.”

Youth two: “That’s not déjà vu. You just saw a dog twice.”

Musk and Trump want a smaller state, for the same reason the Sopranos wanted a smaller police force.
Musk and Trump hate the EU for the same reasons Farage and Putin hate it. It stands for civil rights, the rule of law, and regulation of oligarchs

Nigel Farage used an LBC appearance in September to accuse the Bank of England of being “dinosaurs” for seeking to place restrictions on the use of Stablecoins by crypto firms like Tether.

He did not declare that Reform had just received a £9 million donation from one of its biggest investors

The BBC is the biggest thump of soft power the UK has and its reach and influence to the benefit of the country is extraordinary. Destroy it, hugely damage the UK. The same people who helped weaken us over Brexit are seeking to do it again.
Interesting to see so many great British patriots right now begging an American president to bankrupt one of Britain’s last remaining truly national institutions.

I have never claimed a single benefit in 35 years and have created several jobs. I think I might be doing it wrong.
Never have I seen such a perfect example of Schrödinger's Migrant.

Zia Yusuf, asked whose PIP Reform would cut, talks about "foreign nationals". Less than a minute later, same "foreign nationals" are taking all the jobs and damning British youth to life on PIP.

The conversation about immigration has taken a sinister turn. It’s no longer just about policy; it’s about race.

I won’t stand for it. We can’t let hate and division decide who belongs in Britain. This country is stronger, kinder, and better than that 🇬🇧 #immigration #race #sarahpochin #british

This is all authors.

Unless we post about our books, you don't know they exist.

And unless happy readers recommend us, our books die.

And we don't eat.

There is no "marketing dept". Algorithms favour the megastars, so they're no help.

Anyway. I'm sorry for being repetitive. I have no option.

This could impact one of my team - a fantastic Iranian guy (whose father was an opposition politician & subsequently murdered). He and his wife have ILR now but who knows under the current climate. Unbelievably stupid behaviour even by the lamentable standards of most of our current politicians.

We can't tax billionaires, because they might take their tax avoidance to another country. But we can drive out brilliant people who do much-needed work, contribute to our society and culture, pay tax, create jobs, and have done nothing wrong. That's fine, apparently.

Very good passage on Farage. "Decline is good for their business... When was the last time you heard Nigel Farage say anything positive about Britain's future? He doesn't like Britain... He wants you to doubt it as much as he does."

They be different, oop there in that Manchester. They wear Marks and Spencer clothing, and their walk has a lilt. They aren't like us.
So I bought the NS to read the interview with Andy Burnham and this was one of the first paragraphs. In the name of all that is Holy, what does "looking more northern" mean and that's before we get to "his walk has a gentle Mancunian lilt" And,no, I can't help but think about Liam Gallagher.
