I have seen similar results from UK private testing. Patients understandably expect tests they see heavily advertised to be accurate and meaningful. Often they aren't

Reeves reaffirms commitment to end windfall tax in talks with North Sea bosses The Chancellor met figures from BP, TotalEnergies and Serica in Downing Street.

I'm dismayed by rumours govt may scrap the windfall tax on oil and gas giants

With energy bills still driving cost of living pressures, it's senseless to cut taxes for highly profitable polluters, who already receive Β£2.7bn per year in tax breaks

Currently helping an elderly family friend figure out if an email is a scam (which it obviously is) and hey, people who make mobile email apps, it's a dark pattern to not make the email address of the sender visible without needing to click on the little arrow thing.

Just thought you should know.

Government agencies can now track the location of your phone at scale, in real time, and without a warrant, using ad tech.

The myth that women are more naturally empathetic than men Scientific research is up-ending age-old gender stereotypes about empathy – and revealing new ways of thinking about masculinity.

A 2018 study (N=46K) of DNA samples & questionnaires found no genes associated with sex played a role in empathy. Women display more empathy, not because it is innate, but because girls are socialized to act on their emotions & prioritize needs of others. www.bbc.com/future/artic...

Opinion | Want More Babies? Abolish Commutes.

Effective fertility policy: Remote work. If both parents work at home at least one day/week, they'll average 0.5 more children, pushing toward the β€œreplacement” level of 2.1. A result of opportunity and availability, less time commuting=more time parenting. www.nytimes.com/2026/02/09/o...

Claude is infinitely better than Gemini, but I'm not surprised. Anthropic's only meaningful revenue stream are these deals while Google still has its ads business & YouTube to fund generous discounts.

AI poses bigger threat in jobs with more women, study finds Workers in clerical and administrative roles could have the most trouble adapting to the impact of AI on jobs, new research shows.

While firms are not replacing significant #'s of workers with AI, occupations at most risk are women-dominated, (court clerks, admin assts, payroll clerks). Of 6M workers who would have hardest time finding a new job due to AI-related job loss, 86% are women. www.cbsnews.com/news/ai-job-...

For the umpteenth time: To all our European allies, as long as Trump is president, America is not your friend, we’re your enemy. Saddens me to say that. But it’s the truth. So please band together and stand up against him. Don’t coddle him. Don’t flatter him. Treat him like your enemy. Bcuz he is.

I was heckled by another MP while asking about inclusive relationship education in schools

Sickened but not really surprised that homophobia is alive and well on the bench behind me

'They're primary school kids' he says - as if no primary school kids have lesbian or gay parents!

People have been trying to talk London down, but the evidence tells a different story.

Last year saw:

The lowest murder rate per capita since records began

The fewest murders of those aged under 25 this century

One of the lowest numbers of homicides for almost three decades

UK government strategy to protect women and girls from violence β€˜seriously underfunded’ Campaigners welcome plans but say poor funding means Labour’s ambitions unlikely to be met

This is basically true. It's a good, ambitious, thoughtful and hugely needed strategy but ultimately the measure of whether Labour really cares about it is whether it is backing it with money and, meaningfully, it isn't. www.theguardian.com/society/2025...
