@solartogetheruk has changed its name to @switchtogtherUK. Apparently its name is clearer. Without looking, what product do you think that a company called Switch Together makes? Light switches, whips? Personally, I have no idea so it's not clearer to me.

@ehlJAMA I am a commited Bayesian but your statement "lot of damage" is rather polemic. I like the ability to answer complex questions exactly. I advocate using Bayes in study design. I would like to see use of experts' opinion in analysis but we can't have everything we want at once.

This is a big deal. Frequentist statistics have done a lot of damage to medical science. People rely on P values without really understanding what they mean. Many faulty conclusions have been made because of them. Once you understand Bayes methods, you’ll never rely on frequent tests again. Bayes methods are completely aligned with clinical thinking and should be the standard methodology used for statistical analysis in clinical research.

A new era for Commonwealth Sport, a bold reimagining of the Games. Welcoming TNT Sports as our UK and Ireland live broadcaster for #Glasgow2026!

This is absolutely shameful. The Commonwealth Games should be free to enjoy for everyone, not locked behind a paywall, particularly when it's taking place right here at home. Millions of fans will be gutted to learn they might have to fork out for a subscription to cheer on our

@MartinSLewis I support it to generate revenue. If by invest the Chancellor means in stocks and shares then I do not agree with her reason. Ask Sid.

Today's Poll: Do you support the Chancellor's reported plans to cut the tax-free cash ISA allowance from £20,000 to £12,000 (and keep shares ISA at £20,000). The govt's long said if it does this it won't be to raise revenue but to encourage more young people to invest.

@LudoJanssens I'd rather it was on DVD and Blu-ray

The Beatles Anthology, a nine part documentary series featuring previously unreleased footage, premieres November 26 only on Disney+.

Hugely disappointed that the new Beatkes Anthology book is in paperback and not hardback like the original. Similarly disappointed that the documenatry is only on Disney and not on DVD/Blu-ray. x.com/ADixonMusic

@Keir_Starmer Who performed the statistical analysis?

The NHS league tables my government is introducing today will identify where urgent support is needed and allow high-performing providers to share best practice. Taking the best of the NHS to the rest of the NHS.

@SkyNews @markaustintv The first ones that come to my mind are Mick McMannus and Mick McMichael

"When people think of wrestling, the first name that comes up is Hulk Hogan." Gareth Thompson, founder of Wrestling Church, tells @MarkAustinTV that Hulk Hogan, who has died aged 71, was a "megastar" and a "pillar" of the wrestling community. Latest ➡️ trib.al/lrzT6Zq

I am generating a network diagram in R using #multinma and the #plot function: library("multinma") bowl<-read.csv("") bowl_net<-set_agd_arm(bowl,study= Match,trt=Player,r = Result,n = Games,trt_ref=NULL) plot(bowl_net, weight_edges = TRUE) How do I change the line thicknesses?

@LucaPerasi Your books are very informative and enjoyable. Hopefully there will be fewer typos in this one compared to your "Ringo" book which I assume was down to the publisher.

@JWSBayes Enjoy!

5/10 How backing vocals were recorded for the album? Which mics did they use? Tons of new anecdotes and stories in the new book “Press to Play: That Unmistakable 80s Sound”! Get your copy, also on hardcover: 🇺🇸 amazon.com/dp/B0FC2Y11JZ 🇬🇧amazon.co.uk/dp/B0FC2Y11JZ

@Keir_Starmer Strange. When I visit a different country I like to sample the local beers not have something I can have at home.

Fantastic to find a British pint in Ottawa. Meeting Brits abroad, while delivering for people back home.

@SteveReedMP If that was true then TW would be allowed to go insolvent.

A great talk by @JamesSalsbury at #sct2025 entitled Assurance methods for designing a survival trial with delayed treatment effects

@DanNeidle @NewnhamTony @RichardJMurphy But what proportion of every £100 is spent in the economy and returned in the form of tax?

@NewnhamTony @RichardJMurphy It’s amazingly expensive. Every £100 increase in the personal allowance costs £1bn.

Could raising the tax threshold to the NLW reduce poverty, cut welfare costs & boost demand? Above NLW, a flat tax (revenue-neutral) could simplify the system, incentivise work & reduce inequality. A fairer, simpler system that rewards work…? @DanNeidle @RichardJMurphy
