There needs to be more awareness of the after effects of pneumonia on the elderly. You can almost be lulled into a full sense of security that there’s been a recovery, but the decline happens just a little bit later.

I wrote about the way the SEND crisis is quietly unpicking women's lives - destroying careers, dismantling relationships, damaging physical and mental health.
And all this goes on unacknowledged.

It has been quite the week this week including being told I have less endo in places and new endo in others. The body is a strange thing.

I agree with this and it's a great policy, but I think (not least given that the speech he did give was a bit of a mess) that you actually could weave this into a something headline grabbing by making a theme of 'here are the things we've done that we just did by dint of *having ministerial office'
Changing these kind petty brutalities and stupidities where they are found will make a big difference for many, even if not headline making policy news.

One of my favourite types of FT pieces is a long exploration of how a workplace operates, and this fascinating explanation of why the various attempts to reduce the long hours investment bankers work haven’t worked is a really good example:
High pressure, long days, crushing workloads: why is investment banking like this?

Remember that recent story about how mushrooms have a more complex genome than humans?
Well…

Right, well, humanity has had a decent innings. Time to let mushroom robots have a crack.
