Trump’s obeisance to Putin has been established beyond even the vaguest scintilla of doubt; the possibility of another January 6-style assault on US democracy after/during the mid-terms is clearly acute and ‘we’ are still wary of calling fascism fascism. These are the moments…

Busy day representing @lymeresourcecentre.bsky.social at the #BestPracticeShow 2026 in Birmingham NEC. A great opportunity to raise awareness among a range of health professionals. Good to meet St John’s Ambulance and chat about first aid education in schools including tick bite prevention.

Important that the police and Electoral Commission take this seriously - especially as the C4 film includes footage of a claim that there's a handful of existing donors hiding who they are by passing money to others to donate in their names instead.

In 1970 the UK and Norway were roughly equal, almost no debt, and owned all their Public Services. Now the UK owns nothing and has £3tn of debt. While Norway still owns everything and has the equivalent of £10tn. That's how privatisation 'works'.
