I'm a 62-year-old orthopedic surgeon, trail runner, and cyclist. I've also spent 30+ years watching people give up on their bodies too soon. And watching too many lives narrow. Athletic performance doesn't have to decline sharply in midlife. Most of what drives that decline is addressable. We yield too much to age. Yes, aging brings changes. Lack of training brings far worse changes. A few things worth knowing — The Midlife Athlete Playbook 🧵

Defence On The Brink
Defence On The Brink@DefenceBrink·
💥Ex-Head of the British Army Lord Dannatt brands plans to recall 65-year-olds into the forces as "laughable". "The biggest problem is the straitjacket the MoD has been placed in by the Chancellor. If the PM wants to show leadership, he needs to find the money for defence."

@SkyNews Please explain exactly why you have deployed British soldiers to a foreign country that is currently at war? Has Parliament agreed this?

There are some explosive moments in history where a bright illuminating light is cast over the land and we see things for what they truly are. The Home Office defeating the people of Epping and denying them the right to protect their kids against illegal aliens is that moment.

This is the most up to date data. White British children are dropping by 1.3% a year. Approx 8 years from now, by 2032 they will pass the 50% threshold and become a minority in their own country. Nothing but deportations will alter this trajectory now. …e-education-statistics.service.gov.uk/find-statistic…

It was freezing cold, we were in tents, but the generators kept breaking down or running out of fuel/freezing. The ablutions were a good 400 metres from the tents. I was in a tent with 10 other female officers. I was called’BAR CODE’ on account of my single rank bar.

🚨Angela Rayner, the Deputy Prime Minister, has signed off a HUGE 10% tax increase for councils across the country. You’ve been lied to on an industrial scale by the Labour Party.

You don't have to be an economist to understand that if you keep raising taxes; continually make it harder for businesses to turn a profit; import ever more welfare dependents, and let fit and healthy folk live on benefits, the economy will tank 🤷‍♀️

Johnny Mercer
Johnny Mercer@JohnnyMercerUK·
Phil Shiner is a modern day traitor. He paid fixers to generate evidence of industrial levels of abuse from the British Army in Iraq, made millions of pounds in the process, and has now been convicted of fraud. In the process he destroyed the lives of some of our finest veterans like Brian, hounding them for years, aided and abetted by an inept Ministry of Defence and pathetic cohort of Senior Officers who - to this day - seem unable to park their self-interest and actually stand up for the men and women who do their bidding. That you receive a suspended sentence for committing a multi-million pound fraud, but go to jail for posting something on Facebook, says all you need to know about this Country at the moment. But much more importantly, today's sentence is a visceral demonstration of the patronising disdain too many in this Country still have for the lived experience of UK Veterans, something that I experienced every day for the last ten years. Today I'm thinking of those who served their country with a level of courage and dignity these pitiful characters simply seem unable to grasp. They are the best of us. They should be proud of their service. I am.
Brian Wood MC@BrianWoodMC

On #HumanRightsDay Shiner is given a suspended sentence. Not surprised because are law systems in the UK are a disgrace. I will close this chapter now and move on with my family. Massive thanks to @HMhelpforforces for all the support over the years. news.sky.com/story/former-h…
