Definitely the right move to abolish NHS England. It was madness to set it up in the first place IMO. However, difficult times for those in the middle of it.

Our chief executive @confedmatt.bsky.social told the BBC the announcement to abolish of NHS England was unexpected, but is the 'logical next step' of a sequence that started when Wes Streeting said he wanted NHSE and DHSC to work as a single team.

Yes -@wesstreeting - we need a lasting political & public consensus for #socialcare settlement. But we have to move with a sense of urgency & concern. The building is on fire - it is literally falling apart.

Social care news today isn't a surprise. Labour has long signalled social care was not a priority. Before the election it was clear it was for the back end of the Parliament and into next election. But it doesn't match the strategy on NHS & moving care to the community. This will all be harder now.

Just a reminder: All vaccines used in public health have been rigorously tested. Their benefits greatly outweigh their risks. While a few people have a medical reason for not taking vaccines, most people (and the population overall) will benefit. Doctors who claim otherwise are irresponsible.

Why are we not all celebrating this film as a fantastic example of male allyship for women! The whole IVF story, the period drama is fabulous enough in this gorgeous film, but fighting for recognition for the women is the icing on top!
