Dad of two, loving husband, nerd. Consultant anaesthetist in the NHS. Opinions not my own but those of our reptilian overlords beamed into my brain. Profile banner recalls that time me and the kids planned on running off to join the Galactic Rebellion.

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.

Live your life in a way that no matter how much they make fun of your boobs, your hair, your sex appeal, or your outward appearance… … your legacy is defined by your creativity, your philanthropy, your heart, your spirit, your courage, your inclusiveness & your commitment to helping those in need.

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.

Extract from Private Eye: Bluesky also banned

THE government confirmed today that, despite being left off the initial list, Bluesky would be included in the social media sites banned for under 16s.

Said a Downing Street spokesman, "We're determined to protect impressionable teen minds from being exposed on Bluesky to friendly polite
conversation on topics ranging from the albums of Miles Davis to classic 70s Hollywood movies and the best era of Doctor Who."

He continued, "Filling teenagers' impressionable young minds with this genial chat is no way to prepare them for the hellish Al future that awaits them."

As ever, happy birthday to all June-14th-ers, except one.
Unhappy Birthday to Me 
 
It’s important to share, or so I’ve been taught, 
to show kindness to others, to be a good sport. 
But all of those teachings have taken a bump – 
for I share my birthday with Donald Trump. 
 
For years I knew not of this dark, dreadful fate, 
and with ignorant bliss I honoured the date – 
but then it got hijacked, sullied, gazumped 
by a self-serving bigot, a foul gibberlump. 
  
With him, I would share an infectious disease, 
a mouldy bread roll, an infestation of fleas, 
a romantic weekend at a toxic waste dump –
but please, not my birthday, Mr. Tangerine Chump. 
 
Alternative dates he’s welcome to try –  
12th Febtember, 33rd July. 
But 14th June? In a lake, take a jump
and find a new date, you deranged sewage pump.
