I’ve been involved in this national conversation on the future use of genomics in routine adult healthcare. I’d love if everyone in my network who’s interested would sign up for our webinar on 5 Nov, where we’ll share what we heard. www.genomicsengland.co.uk/events/genom...

Hmm, one set of my grandparents were German Jews, who arrived in Glasgow in 1939. I’ve always been and felt Scottish and British.

The fact that he was headline news for days and days was utterly racialised hounding, and factions trying to win culture war ‘points’. While I hope they seriously reflect, I doubt they will.

Yep! And the part about social care workforce merging with the NHS (rather than it cd ever be the other way round). Many people (including my gorgeous gurl) rely on social care everyday to live well and vaguely independently but hardly use the NHS.

Yes agree with all of this. Though I’m not sure ‘stranger danger’ has increased at all but perceptions of it have

It might get your grandsons off their phones? It’s a shame the attitude is so different now. My younger daughter travelled by train herself from a relatively young age (about 11) from north to south London and she was fine.

Yep! And actually he says it was a Devon to Cornwall cycle - about 130miles. They stayed in a youth hostel overnight. They were 13 y.o.

My partner regularly cycled from B’ham to Cornwall at 14 & 15 years old, with a mate. I hitch-hiked around at 17 🫣.

When we returned to Heathrow we had to get back to Victoria coach station by a bus which never turned up. I had £5 left and asked a black cabbie to “take us as far as he could”. It meant we had no money left for snacks for the 9 hrs coach back to Glasgow. But we survived!

At 14 I travelled from Glasgow to Vienna by coach, tube and plane with my twin - I’m not sure it’d happen now.

Yes weird, it’s been on there over 4 hours and there are zero comments.

When my kids were little we’d call it - in a jokey fashion - a mezze platter and we’d ‘eat alfresco’ (this was usually cucumber, tomato, carrots, strips of pitta, hummus, some salami)

And we could support improving public transport and cycling and decrease individual vehicles on the already packed London roads.

My kids’ surname is Brook. No matter how many times you spell it you get cards addressed to Brooke, Brooks and Brookes. Never Brook.

Yes! all those listings in Melody Maker and Sky magazine (latter wasn’t Murdoch related). Didn’t we communicate via our mix tape ‘signals’.

I think what she did was online training, but I’ll check with her

Nicola Fulton @nicolafulton.bsky.social · 07/06/2026
No I didn’t at the time as I was trying to calm my daughter down and just get her some treatment, but I’ll bear it in mind for future.

As an fyi, my other younger daughter did the Oliver McGowan training via a charity she’s been working for and said it’s excellent. It’s part of the charity’s mandatory training.

It’s no wonder people with severe LD&A die so much younger than the population more generally. It’s not that my daughter is less healthy or ‘more ill’, it’s because for her, accessing healthcare at a point of need, is so much harder.
010
Nicola Fulton @nicolafulton.bsky.social · 07/06/2026
The training’s good, but my 21 y.o daughter with high LD&A support needs was left waiting over an hour for a GP appt for an infection (in spite of flags on her record that). She became incredibly agitated. When the GP became available he said “well I can’t examine her in this state, can I?”.

A little montage of the audio and visual feast courtesy of Kraftwerk at the @royalalberthall.bsky.social last night. A gig highlight!

I agree. I did look at the SR website and didn’t see that but it is there now. I must have missed it.

The business declining to build Jewish News’ new website in 2024, mentioned in the article, is also devastating.

I was going to go to this but the politicisation and exclusion of certain party leaders and the support for Farage has changed my mind. I’m so cross about it.

I was on a long train journey about 15 years ago with autistic young daughter. She was getting very angst, crying and shouting. A woman started marching up to complain. 4 young men in the seats in front barred her from complaining, shooed her away, & bought me wine from the buffet car. So LOVELY!
