Dr Ellen Storm raises compelling issues with the #LucyLetby case regarding punishment and retaliation on whistle-blowers. If she's right, and there's no reason to say she isn't, the trust of large organisations such as the NHS is seriously broken. youtu.be/YG7YxCMoL8Y?...

This is a seminal moment: a Labour government cutting disability benefits. Not just continuing Tory levels. Cutting. This comes after a week of speculation, itself an act of cruelty by a government toying with people’s dignity. These cuts are disgraceful - and they will cost lives.

The attempted mugging of a visiting president was about the world war that Musk, Trump, and Vance have chosen. If we attend to what Vance and Trump said yesterday, we can work our way to the unreason of American policy, and to the chaos that will follow. snyder.substack.com/p/the-war-tr...
