I actually thought this was a joke but apparently it’s true. The Tory opposition leader is completely barmy

Kemi Badenoch's spokesman tells me that she is calling for Keir Starmer to hold another general election now because the Conservative party wants to "have another go" at winning.

Highly recommend reading this piece on the increasingly widespread use of PAs to replace doctors in the NHS. It’s an issue that horrifies many of us.

The debate around the use of physician associates in the NHS is certain to be debated on this app as it was over in the other place Last month I published this long read after speaking to Merseyside medics about their concerns www.liverpoolecho.co.uk/news/liverpo...

Keep Our NHS Public
@keepournhspublic.bsky.social

Nye Bevan, founder of our NHS was born today, 127 years ago. A LOT has changed since 1948, but we're still here fighting for a fully public and properly funded NHS, and we always will be. Are you with us? Repost if you are 💙

I won't be going far today! So a chance to plan this week's Soft Folkus. A listener reminds me that it's 50 years since Nick Drake left the stage. How best to celebrate his fragile talent? Help me with some Blue Sky thinking folks. Maybe fwd to others as we build a folkie community here?

If you're in any doubt about the political nature of this narrative, see the quotes included here from Vance & Trump about the need to "aggressively attack the universities". If you care about academic freedom, don't help this false narrative about widespread leftwing "censorship" in academia spread

advice to reporters doing these voxpops: the next question should be "can you name a few other dictators you like"

The Intellectualist@theintellectualist.bsky.social

Interviewer: “Donald Trump said on his first day he’s going to be a dictator” Trump supporter: “I like that!…This country needs a dictator. I hate to say it, but this is the truth.”

Amazing. You have control over your own data, as it should be.

Fun fact: If someone quotes a post of yours in a way that is unwelcome (as is commonplace on Twitter/X) there is a tool to combat the unwanted attention. Simply click the three dot menu on the quote post & click "Detach quote". This removes your post from their quote post. Useful to know, do share!
