The two child limit has been scrapped! We’re delighted to see the Chancellor remove this policy which has kept thousands of children in poverty – harming their health and wellbeing.

Given how long it is since Scrubs first aired, I assume Season 10 is just JD and Turk in hospital management meetings talking about how they're going to make the winter pressures budget stretch even further this year?
I have trust issues. I was told this was the final season but it won't be for long.

And this isn't even including the fact that season 8 ended with "My Finale" which was the "real ending" of the show to most people.

Apropos of nothing, did you know that paracetamol ( acetaminophen, Tylenol ) can treat and even cure heart disease in premature babies?

This equates to 0.5 micromorts for each person receiving a vaccination course (usually several vaccines)

That is less than the mortality risk for a single day of skiing (0.7 micromorts)
Covid vaccine deaths: the best data came out of Korea, which did autopsies on all post-vaccination sudden deaths.

The country identified 21 deaths out of 44 million vaccinees.

Yes people can die from the vaccine, but it’s incredibly rare.

Your weekly reminder that voter "concern" with immigration doesn't correspond to actual immigration levels.

It corresponds to the amount of coverage the media gives immigration.

This an entirely self-fulfilling mess, and it is entirely pointless.
