Commenting on the latest NHS performance data released today (14 May), Dr Vicky Price, president of the Society for Acute Medicine, said: “Although there is a desire centrally to show progress on corridor care, the reality on the ground among clinicians is that, in many areas, the problem is being disguised rather than resolved. “SAM…

“Sure, it will be compatible with any modern IT kit” falls down fast when it meets NHS infrastructure. For those not fully aware of NHS finances, you will have seen the austerity of the last 14 years. Where do you think they start first each year? Tech and support spending.

Serious question: Can somebody explain to me why the Signal boys loathe Europe so much? Exasperation with longstanding European refusal to spend more on defence really is not enough to explain this degree of hostility. What’s so bad about Europe? Too snobby? An obstacle to their libertarian dreams?

I didn’t realize how much it was affecting me. O/c, the issues haven’t gone away, but it honestly feels different here. Let me explain 🧵

It is often easier to be despondent from the sidelines, to tut and shake one's head & take comfort in criticism shared amongst friends. Bishop Budde delivered her sermon with quiet conviction and dignity. Moral courage like this gives hope - it shows us that it is ok to politely but firmly say no.
