Our friends at Nuffield on C4 tonight saying the Trump-Starmer Pharma deal will cost the NHS 10,000 staff. Here’s a test for Burnham - will he stop the implementation of this toxic deal? www.channel4.com/news/10000-n...

10,000 NHS jobs cut to fund US-UK pharma deal, says think tank

Last year, Sir Keir Starmer signed a landmark deal with Donald Trump, committing the UK to spend more on American medicines in return for zero tariffs and better access to cutting-edge drugs.

Yes, I've forgotten that term - what an awful practice.

This is awful Dawn - I'm really sorry that you're the target of such abuse.

So true. The cartoon actually reminds me of something else but I just can't seem to put my finger on it. This is the closest I can think of 'Deutsche Eicheln [German Acorns]' (1933) John Heartfield. heartfield.adk.de/node/6516

I love this. Senate candidate Annie Andrews says she decided to jump into the race the day RFK Jr was nominated to lead HHS. She’s a pediatrician. Saw what was coming & decided she couldn’t sit on the sidelines. THIS is what I’m talking about. Feeling called to serve & actually following through.

I just took part in The National Conversation to share my views on what it's really like living in our area right now. It's a major UK-wide project by researchers at Oxford University, and it only takes a few minutes. You should have your say too! www.national-conversation.ox.ac.uk

Have you seen this clip by Ken Tanaka, Stella Choe and Scott Beehner? www.youtube.com/watch?v=DWyn... Clearly not musical but clever all the same.

Thoughtful words from fellow Dunedinite Sam Neill - who has sadly passed away.

You might be right about that one. From an outsider, the thought of owning - a single gun - in the case of people who don't shoot recreationally - seems absurd. And so it's easy to suspend your critical judgement when faced with an image, which seems so ridiculous.

That's cute. I wonder how much of this was the consequence of their circumstances e.g. coping with what they'd gone through with the war and grieving for their shared loss of their friend/brother? Of course we'll never know.

I'm envious that you actually talked to your father about these things because presumably that's how you now know. My regret is that I wasn't so insightful as to ask such questions (presumable, I too focused on my own path are not enough empathy/interest in my father's unfortunately).

Dr Simon Perkins 🇪🇺🌻🌊🌈 ally #FBPE @simonperkins.bsky.social · 03/06/2026

That's lucky (not that you would have even known if you didn't exist)! Very existential that one - clearly fate was on your side.

BTW. this is my father atop the Nōfuku-ji temple Buddha, Kobe, Japan 1946. He was in the en.wikipedia.org/wiki/J_Force His experience there only strengthened his respect for the Japanese people (and empathy for those who had also been caught up in the lunacy of war).

Lovely to hear that your father made it and how tragic about his friend Pinty. This is the reality of war though isn't it, senseless things happen to normal people while they're just trying to make their lives happen. It would be interesting to hear how Pinty's family made sense of the tragic loss.
