Bad week for RFK - 2 studies confirm tylenol doesn't cause autism - 1 study confirms water fluoridation doesn't affect cognitive function oh and since he's been nominated, there have been over confirmed 4000 cases of measles in the US

This is Trevor Fisher, an inpatient in @ArthurRankHouse in Cambridgeshire, speaking to @Channel4News this week. I am a palliative care specialist and Trevor’s interview has devastated me. His hospice has just found out that in 6 months, Cambridge University Hospitals NHS Trust will withdraw its £800k funding. This means that 9 of the hospice’s 16 beds will close, denying patients like Trevor the precious end-of-life care they need. In total, 200 people a year in Cambridgeshire will now be forced to die in an overcrowded hospital instead of the hospice environment they so longed for. Some will doubtless end up dying on trolleys in corridors - we witness this far too often, these days & I can tell you, it is barbaric. @CUH_NHS says it has made this “very difficult decision” following a “value for money assessment” - confirming what I have long known as a doctor, that too often, patients with terminal illnesses are treated as second class citizens whose lives simply don’t matter as much as other people's. Yet the real responsibility here lies not with the NHS trust but with the current government, who is forcing the NHS nationwide to cut clinical services in order to meet impossible “efficiency savings” (what weasel words those are). These cuts were necessary, say @CUH_NHS, “in order to maintain core services within a reduced budget” - that is to say, the reduced budget they are now receiving from this government. So this is on you, @wesstreeting, and on you @UKLabour. You've chosen to do this & now patients like Trevor must live - and die - with your choices. I believe that the measure of a civilised country is how well it cares for its most vulnerable members. The difference between politicians and me is that I look the palliative care patients they are failing in the eye. So I will put it to you directly, Mr Streeting. We are still a rich country capable of affording decent, humane palliative care for all. Do you really care so little for dying people that you are happy to fail them on your watch? Thank you @channel4news for covering this story. #palliativecare #hospicecare #NHS

Almost 10 years after publishing date, this is still the most spot-on Trump cartoon ever made

@AmandaB55744931 @AmazonUK They're a data company, and brag about it. They seemingly do nothing to stop some scams and bogus reviews. After exercising rights protectected in law, what you've described seems discriminatory and I'd hope they'd want to fix such a problem.

@ExasperatedOf @AmazonUK I think that would only apply if they refused refunds. I think any company can refuse to sell to you though.

So, because I can’t go to shops, Tesco delivers my food, and everything else comes from @AmazonUK. I make a large number of purchases and a few returns. Now my account says I am violating fair use and may get restricted. Spoke to the Accessibility dept who told me it is the …1/2

@ifanmj @cymru_simon Council has annoying popup on their website. Assume appears each time as I reject their cookies. If they collected the bins on Saturday, instead of lying the previous weeks, I wouldn't have visited the website...

If you live in Wales, how much visible evidence of the Senedd election are you seeing in your community? Signs / pamphlets etc.

@uk_ktee7484 @Jenny_1884 To prevent evil interlopers out of county misusing the system

@Jenny_1884 Why can’t they standardise the colour schemes. My council has silver bin for hard plastics/glass/tins, black for general waste, purple lid on black bin for cardboard and paper, green bin for garden waste, orange small bin for food waste.

Did you know under new guidelines, mismanaging food waste, not putting the right things in your brown food waste bin could result in a fine of up to £80. As we pay an absolute fortune in council tax they have a damn cheek when we are having to do their work for them. Back in the day we had 1 dustbin & everything just went in it.

Wiltshire farmer Ann Maidment, 42, has brilliantly exposed the “ridiculous” government waste licensing system, by registering her prize cow Beau Vine as an official rubbish disposer. It took just five minutes online and cost £184. The Environment Agency approved it instantly. No ID, no business checks, no criminal record verification, just a tick-box promise of no environmental offences. Her family cattle farm in north Wiltshire has been repeatedly hit by fly-tippers dumping everything from asbestos to kitchen waste. Ann’s message is simple: “A system that cannot stop a cow cannot stop a criminal.” Fly-tipping now costs Britain £1 billion a year, with 1.26 million incidents last year alone, many carried out by licensed “carriers” who then illegally dump on rural land. Farmers are left with tens of thousands in clean-up bills while the system smooths the path for organised crime. Government now promises tougher checks… but the cow licence proves it’s been wide open for years.

@ScottMcGready @DyfedPowys were very understanding when our lad called them to say he'd been a big boy and done a big poo. Second occasion warranted a welfare call, due to wifey's shock hearing an adult on the line and fluster realising he'd called again. Reassuring to know handlers listen.

My 15 month old having big chats™ with Alexa was not in my risk model.

#PostOfficeScandal #FUJITSU HOW FUJITSU DISCOVERED IT HAD SETTLED A CASE IT WASN'T EVEN A PARTY TO There is a legal argument currently before the High Court in the case of Lee Castleton. OBE. that deserves a standing ovation. Not for its merits. For its nerve. Cast your mind back to June 2020. Rob Putland, Senior VP of Fujitsu, wrote to Parliament with the following observation, which has aged like a fine bottle of corked claret: "Fujitsu was not a party to the Bates v Post Office Ltd litigation. All decisions relating to the prosecution of sub-postmasters and the conduct of the Bates litigation were made by the Post Office." Not our case. Not our strategy. Not our problem. Nothing to do with us. We were merely present. Supplying the bug riddled software. And the error logs we forgot to mention. But otherwise, entirely uninvolved. Six years on, Fujitsu has undergone a remarkable philosophical journey. The company whose boilerplate Witness Statement Service helped convict hundreds of innocent people, whose 'Distinguished Engineers' appeared as 'expert witnesses' in criminal trials whilst sitting on internal documents demonstrating system defects, has now alighted upon a position of quite staggering legal chicanery. The 2019 Group Litigation Settlement, you see, had a clause that released all claims connected to Horizon. Fujitsu was connected to Horizon. Therefore — and follow this carefully, because the elegance of it may make you dizzy — "ALL claims... were released by the Settlement Deed." Fujitsu did not negotiate this Settlement. Did not sign it. Did not fund the case. Was not a party to it. Was, by its own proud insistence in 2020, essentially just a bystander. But it would now very much like to rely on it as its own in order to fight off Lee Castleton. OBE. What Fujitsu is inviting the Court to do is take a compromise struck between exhausted Subpostmasters and their tormentor — reached under conditions of incomplete information, unequal resources, and considerable psychological duress — and extend it, like a warm blanket to shield itself when it wasn't even in the room. To treat that compromise as a universal release binding those who never participated in, contributed to, or were constrained by it requires a level of legal elasticity that the Courts one suspects will find difficult to accept. @CastletonLee @fujitsu_uk @Fujitsu_Global @FujitsuOfficial @edwardhenry1 @Janetsk20073533 @darrenpjones @Keir_Starmer @AmbJapanUK @JAPANinUK @JpIndustryNews @Legaltech_news @LegalActionMag @The_Real_JSP @DanNeidle @VarchasPatel @mountforduk @rbrooks45 @nickwallis @BBCEmmaSimpson @Karlfl @japan

@JacotheNorth @Tesco Chwarae teg, Cadle in-store pharmacy replaced the idiotic national contact centre with a DDI on labels after tablets were misdispensed, consumed, spotted and a frantic 45 minutes to get through to a floor-manager who rapidly walked across the store to loop-in the pharmacist.

@Tesco Your website shows no way of contacting you to complain over a faulty (possibly illegal) product. I am not going back to the store as it's over 40 miles from my home and I don't have the receipt.

🦔A researcher invented a fake eye condition called bixonimania, uploaded two obviously fraudulent papers about it to an academic server, and watched major AI systems present it as real medicine within weeks. The fake papers thanked Starfleet Academy, cited funding from the Professor Sideshow Bob Foundation and the University of Fellowship of the Ring, and stated mid-paper that the entire thing was made up. Google's Gemini told users it was caused by blue light. Perplexity cited its prevalence at one in 90,000 people. ChatGPT advised users whether their symptoms matched. The fake research was then cited in a peer-reviewed journal that only retracted it after Nature contacted the publisher. My Take The researcher made the papers as obviously fake as possible on purpose. The AI systems didn't catch it. Neither did the human researchers who cited it in real journals, which means people are feeding AI-generated references into their work without reading what they're actually citing. I've covered the FDA using AI for drug review, the NYC hospital CEO ready to replace radiologists, and ChatGPT Health launching this year. All of that is happening in the same environment where a condition funded by a Simpsons character and endorsed by the crew of the Enterprise was being presented as emerging medical consensus. The people making these deployment decisions seem to believe the pipeline from research to AI to patient is more supervised than it actually is. This experiment suggests it isn't supervised much at all. Hedgie🤗 nature.com/articles/d4158…

@autcareandshare Does Ryan stll like older maps? maps.nls.uk digitisation of historic maps is a fantastic resource. Side-by-side or overlays are fascinating to see changes of substance, and style over decades - and even hundreds of years.

I do lots of tweets about Ryan and maps and routes, Ryan was fascinated by routes maps since before he could walk or talk back then I'd go around car boot sales buying up all the old maps and guides he'd sit for hours in his pushchair tracing them with his finger these days he uses Google maps, he keeps all the information I dont know how but he does, he can direct me from here in Gloucestershire to Scotland from memory, say we're staying at a campsite or hotel he will then direct me to the shops or the supermarkets, but even that doesn't go far enough to explain his amazing ability with maps, he does it flawlessly,I hear you , you're asking how did Ryan who way back then a non verbal autistic 3 or 4 year old in fact he didn't speak until he was around 8, how did he tell you which way to go, by pointing and imitating the sound of the car indicator, and he does all this while listening to at least 2 radios that are on different stations, he really is amazing. Have a great day everyone.

@alarchwen1968 Hopefully the Returning Officer checks the paperwork. However, Carmarthenshire's cabinet-approved planning policy has been misdirecting to the Ombudsman for the wrong country for years, so I wouldn't put any faith in the quality of checks.

How does one find out whether candidates in the Senedd elections ACTUALLY live in Wales for qualification purposes? Also, are candidates only allowed to stand/register if permanently resident here?

Think I've found a party I can get squarely behind this Senedd election. Neath Abbey Research Party took out 4,000 tons of dross - not sure it would make a dent in Corruption Bay today, but it would be a start.

@Saffiya_Khan1 @1goodtern Na. Waste water monitoring programme is too commercially "sensitive" for Bangor Uni to disclose Verily's extraction of Welsh sewer users. Samples from GPs and hospitals are a fraction of a self-selecting population. Few surgeries have any air-handling or mitigations.

I thought we were seeing very low levels of you know what at the moment. Do we actually know what’s going on? @1goodtern

@Kiera__Marshall Student loans were introduced in 1991, your average "age" politician might have been in their second year, if they studied for a degree directly without a gap year. They might even have voted LibDem not to introduce fees, and discovered many politicians are liars. Life lessons.

The current average of a Senedd member is 55. We have politicians making decisions about things like tuition fees, who have never even paid tuition fees?! Young people need to be in the rooms where decisions about their futures are made. ✊🗳️🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

Yesterday I went to Wales' national youth hustings, hosted by the King's Trust. A pleasure to chat & answer the questions of other younger people. I've decided to stand for the Senedd because I believe young people (and young women and young mothers!) must be represented.

@DonnaWarburton1 And we've been paying for it

I think these people are living in a parallel universe.
