Absolutely welcome article on the effects and risks of polypharmacy. Would like to see more mention of the role of clinical pharmacists (across all sectors) in reducing this harm - through structured and opportunistic reviews, patient and MDT education etc

An emerging class of synthetic opioids, nitazenes, is now coming into focus in the US. These drugs can be 40 times more potent than fentanyl and are difficult to track. The investigative group @bellingcat.com has found nitazenes spreading across the US and uncovered links to Chinese suppliers.

A wee group of angry balaclava and mask-wearing anti-immigration guys tried to stop the good people of Glasgow showing solidarity with migrants and standing up to racism and fascism. Well, the far right are far outnumbered... #RefugeesWelcome #MigrantsWelcome #NeighboursNotStrangers #Glasgow

Photo of a small group of mostly men wearing black, with masks and balaclavas, surrounded by a Police Scotland cordon in the bottom of the photo, in the foreground. In the background, a very large colourful crowd of people with saltires, trade union banners, and hand-made signs in support of migrants and against racism have turned up to gather to show solidarity, and the far right guys were hoping to thwart that. They didn't.
