Lots of years in mental health and social care now chilling, apart from when I think of state of the country and the world. Hoping for better things for those who’ve been done over now that the Tories have gone. Francophile|Grecophile| read lots

"Dear Diary, There were six by-elections in England and Scotland this week and Reform lost all of them. Two of them were seats we previously held. The problem with running councils is that people can see how useless we are."

England hasn't had a dementia strategy since 2020. Yet ~1 million people in the UK live with dementia. This World Alzheimer's Day, we're putting carers' voices at the heart of the debate to ask: What does a national dementia action plan look like? f.mtr.cool/t779kqaqju

The accounting is in: In Oregon there are 111 data centers. The TOTAL number of people employed at data centers is just 2,630, or 0.1% of the labor force. Those 100 data centers consumer 23% of all electricity used in Oregon. Meanwhile, electricity rates skyrocket as more centers are built.

NHS backlog fuelled a private equity gold rush in UK healthcare. All part of Tory plan to hike waiting list, under investment and privatisation of healthcare. Profiteering means less available for frontline services. Higher taxes for lower public value. Ban private equity from all public services

The UK has never allowed PMs to give a UK equivalent of the US (or EU's?) State of the Union speech.. this is a much better exposition of what the govt wants than the tedious King's speech and allows the PM to take back narrative control from the Chancellor who gets to do it in the Budget
