@forwardnotback @jimrobbins Crisis - what crisis ?

@jimrobbins Cheers Jim Tbh for a few days it was a bit touch and go for a while - thankfully I can’t remember much - but think (hope) the ‘crisis bit’ is over😀

I can’t tell you how happy I am to see tweets from @forwardnotback back on my timeline.

It’s Greek week at Lidl… which means it’s ouzo oclock….

Well merry Xmas for yesterday. I was yesterday days old when I discovered that in the French speaking parts of Belgium and Switzerland they don’t use quatre-vingts and instead have the far more rational octante etc …. You live and learn

NEW: Labour just announced the biggest change in planning policy in 80 years. My breakdown of the key measures and whether they will succeed. samdumitriu.com/p/labour-are-f…

"For the UK to fully decarbonise transport it must develop deeper understandings of how people’s lives are organised." @UKCRIC on why we need to embed health equity into decision making. Partner content.

The news of a mass shooting earlier with multiple deaths at Bondi beach is horrific. There’s no official news on a motive yet but it does sound suspiciously antisemitic currently.

Charlotte, aged 30 was diagnosed with MND two years ago. Like most people with MND, she needs home adaptations to live safely at home as her disease progresses. Accessible housing is vital for people living with MND, but funding for housing adaptations can take forever to deliver. Help transform the grants process for those with MND by emailing your local councillor, asking them to raise a motion committing your local council to deliver effective fast-track support for people living with MND. act.mndassociation.org/2025-11-Unlock…

I think someone’s been found out… Such a disgraceful & reductive way to talk about care work & migrant workers. But oh so revealing too…

We send our condolences to the family and peers of physio student Meg Draper from @bournemouthuni. bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…

Today my physio session proved that graphs showing real-world progress will always have dips because progress is rarely linear and I will have less than great sessions Balancing on my left foot with my right foot raised was rubbish - wobbly Tim returned with a vengeance …

#OliversCampaign When Oliver was in @uhbwNHS he was given psychotropic medication he did not need. He asked me: “Mum, how do I behave NOT autistic so I can come home?” I taught my son how to mask to survive & he was discharged. That this was ever necessary is unforgivable.

This glove retrains the muscles of stroke victims. This could be a game changer for recovery

@DarrenJohnson66 @AvaSantina 😂

@AvaSantina I am surprised how mild-mannered this is from Lloyd Russell-Moyle. I was expecting him to do one of his trademark fiery speeches when he defected: "We will defect in the parliament! We will defect in the courts! We will defect in the workplaces! We will defect in the streets!"

Green defector Lloyd Russell-Moyle tells me Morgan McSweeney is one of the dangerous forces in the Labour Party

@forwardnotback @JohnRentoul Regardless of my support or not of the policies it was a tour de force of parliamentary performance. I had to take some time to watch the whole thing tonight to really appreciate the skill.

Possibly or maybe not, my last post on that speech @JohnRentoul on blistering form “Mahmood’s confidence at the despatch box was a rare treat. I enjoyed the way she was underlining and writing on her notes as she spoke, as if she was able to multitask…” Read it!

ICBs working as strategic commissioners seem likely to push more decisions (and some commissioning of servies from other bodies) onto provider alliances. These don't have to meet in public or publish papers. Where's the public and press oversight?
