Concerns raised about equitable access to robotic surgery in new study healthcare-management.uk/concerns-raise… #roboticsurgery

Only one chance in this lifetime… Like watching sunset at the beach from the most foreign seat in the cosmos, I couldn’t resist a cell phone video of Earthset. You can hear the shutter on the Nikon as @Astro_Christina is hammering away on 3-shot brackets and capturing those exceptional Earthset photos through the 400mm lens. @AstroVicGlover was in window 3 watching with @Astro_Jeremy next to him. I could barely see the Moon through the docking hatch window but the iPhone was the perfect size to catch the view…this is uncropped, uncut with 8x zoom which is quite comparable to the view of the human eye. Enjoy.

@Phil_Sledge Thank God for that.

How would you reply if someone said this to you?

@LizWebsterSBF Indeed, and now our powder is, shall we say, damp.

Far from being in peril, Brexit is safer than before; rather than castigating him, Brexiteers should thank him. Brexit is likely to be more enduring. Brexiteers should take the win, for they have got, more or less, what they wanted. Keir Starmer has saved brexit by taking a project that is remarkably unpopular (53% of voters, 79% of Labour Party supporters, would vote to rejoin the EU); which is indelibly associated with a rapidly ailing Conservative Party; and which, through the sea border with Northern Ireland, is a source of long-term instability to the UK. Starmer has shaved off its most irritating features, entrenched its main constitutional principles and, in doing so, made it a more durable, bipartisan project—augmenting a Tory Brexit with a wide streak of Labour thinking. This deal leaves bulk of Brexit’s economic harm unmitigated. But resistance to Brexit is driven by culture and identity more than the hard arithmetic of trade flows and this deal erases its most visible reminders. Britons will be able to use e-gates at more EU airports rather than queue for passport stamps, and dog owners will get their pet passports back. Britain will probably re-accede to Erasmus-plus, a university exchange programme; a youth-mobility scheme will make backpacking and au-pairing easy again. The agricultural deal should, in principle, mean the return of fancy foreign cheeses to delis (as well as make the Irish sea border less onerous). For those who most chafe at Brexit, it will be possible to at least feel a touch more European. The remainers’ paradox: by moving closer to Europe, Brexit may become more tolerable, and thereby more entrenched. In the process, Keir’s govt has internalised the organising logic of Brexit: that Britain is an “independent, sovereign nation” (as No 10 puts it) that strikes deals with all and sundry. He presented the eu deal as a triptych, along with new agreements with India and America. They, he told the Commons, were “evidence that we’re not going back into the eu”. The economic case for being outside the customs union and single market hasn’t got much better, but the politics is hardening in its favour. Like shoes bought on a whim, the more an independent trade policy is used, the harder it becomes to return. economist.com/britain/2025/0…

@LizWebsterSBF Excellently conducted interview, @LizWebsterSBF, thank you for the continued fact-based clarity you always bring.

Some Brits have not come to terms with the fact that we lost the Empire. Brexit offered false hope of elevating Britain to flourish and lead a globalised world. The shortcomings and significant downsides (ie the truth) were hidden and mythical benefits over-sold.

@CalltoActivism Gleeson scale 9, maybe.

MAJOR BREAKING: In a cruel and clueless moment, Trump says Biden’s cancer surprised him because it takes a long time to “get to stage 9” cancer. Cancer goes to stage 4. Then he brags he “aced” his cognitive test. Is Trump the dumbest president alive?

Renationalise them all without any compensation.

We need to stop messing around and just Rejoin the Single Market and get a fortune every single day. It is what 86% of people want.

@Haggis_UK @HelpsCharlie God how did she ever become an mp let alone the leader of the Tory party

Kemi Badenoch says we're getting more potholes because of electric cars. 👀

Song fades, yet voice lingers. Presence unseen is still felt. And in stillness where all dissolves, truth holds.

@earthcurated 💯

On a scale of 1 to 10 how important is music in your life?

@KevMoore16 @RNLI Epic. Happy Birthday, John.

@CliveWismayer Ditto.

Why didn’t the farmers demonstrate before the referendum? No sympathy for these gullible fools.

@GilesRocholl No google...
