Do not adjust your screens: Daily Telegraph, purveyor of hard-core #climate denial, has temporarily noticed reality. Don’t panic: normal service on behalf of its energy industry sponsors will be resumed shortly.

Sir Kier leaves with grace and dignity, with substantial achievements to his credit, and with his integrity intact. These are no small matters.

Let it be remembered that it was King Charles, not Donald Trump, who delivered a speech (to Congress) which matched the occasion of the 250th anniversary of American Independence.

This President talks as though the US nation will agree that loyalty to him by his Supreme Court appointees will trump their allegiance to the rule of law. Surely not in the America I know and respect.

Our goldfinches seem perfectly happy with plain old sunflower seed hearts, from an ordinary feeder. We get more than a dozen sometimes, taking turns. They share it with sparrows, robins, greenfinch, blackbirds and, unfortunately, the occasional squirrel.

I was a schoolboy in Washington DC in the 1950s when the Salk polio vaccine first appeared. Desperate mothers queued to get their children protected. Everyone knew of someone paralysed or dead from this terrible disease. And we were recently so close to global eradication.

If you don’t want history to be re-written please share this video widely - because the only way to stop that happening is to constantly call this boll**** out with the actual facts

And, of course, under the NHS there will be no charge to the patient. We share the cost as a nation.

If UK news shows are going to give Nigel Farage a platform to spout this absolute boll**** about Brexit & the vaccine rollout (unchallenged) I’ll happily come back every week to correct it We cannot allow them to rewrite history. If you agree share this FACT CHECK widely youtu.be/MUrf7addcTA?...

Huge respect for what you do. A great friend was GP on the Isles of Scilly - not quite as remote, but huge responsibility deciding when it was necessary to evacuate acutely ill patients.

Thank you for these wonderful insights into your life. My visits in rural Hampshire were on a very much smaller scale, but often beautiful too. The only trouble was that you were constantly under pressure. (20 years ago now for me but I quess it's the same for you.)

Hugely important. But I can attest that high quality, human care does survive for myself and my family. And that phone, text and email can work together to materially improve communication between patient and practice and improve its efficiency.

It is a terrible failure of the Internet that it allowed one man to gain control of, and then corrupt, a major organ of international communication.
