Please keep Ross Kemp in #TraitorsUK. He's slowly going mad. He will be like Jack Nicholson in The Shining breaking down doors by the final 😁

Could not agree more - we need to step up the pace and get ahead of reactive maternity service design and start planning services that predict and adapt to the local need. Recommendation 1 is particularly close to my heart.

Published today: Saving Lives, Improving Mothers’ Care 2026, the latest MBRRACE-UK report on maternal deaths and morbidity. A central message is clear: care should be proactive, not reactive. https://www.npeu.ox.ac.uk/mbrrace-uk/reports/maternal-reports/maternal-report-2022-2024 #MBRRACEUK

This point needs to be made over and again: The main purpose of wealth taxes should not be to raise revenue. That's a small and secondary benefit. The main purpose should be to *reduce the fortunes of the ultrarich*. Why? Because those fortunes present a massive threat to democracy and public life.

OK, so just as I have to yell at my fellow Americans "air conditioners *are* heat pumps!" to combat basic ignorance of what the tech actually is, Europeans need to hear "heat pumps *are* air conditioners" because y'all are making arguments which don't make sense if you see why heat pumps are good.

Legislating children out of the dark satanic mills of social media protects that one group, but a better approach would be to make sure no-one (child or adult) has their online arm ripped off in the pursuit of a better bottom line for owners.

The UK government’s approach to legislating children out of social media is, by their own admission, unenforceable. If they truly meant it to send a message it would also be backed up with robust regulation to make everybody safer.

The printing press was invented, folk could mass produce written the written word, brilliant advance for free speech, but over time legislation and regulation arose to make publishers accountable for harms arising from that freedom.

The Spinning Jenny made it possible for textiles to be mass produced, enhancing profits, but over time legislation and regulation arose to make mill owners accountable for the children’s arms that got ripped off when they were sent in to fix its running descendants, to avoid costly down time.

I think this is the greatest 'bad poem in a paper' I've ever seen, and I've looked out for these on social media for years. It defies all your expectations of what can be done in a poem. It's made my day.

Regret to report that ice dance-related poetry has broken out in the Nottingham Post. Again.
