Very true Melea. Only thing I'd differ in is the inevitability of mental health decline - knowing that life is unsafe is just the truth, and having small mistakes blown up can make you think "might as well get hung for a sheep, not just a lamb" which is quite liberating

GPs not to blame 
35 million GP appointments a month 
5 million more than 2019
Ambulance 750000 calls
A&E 2.2million

GPs not to blame 35 million GP appointments a month 5 million more than 2019 Ambulance 750000 calls A&E 2.2million

Some surprising NHS statistics (unless you follow me)
Since 2019:
- GP appoints increased by 5m to 31million/month

- 111 calls total 1.7m/month
- Ambulance calls and transfers unchanged 750k / month
- A&E attendances 2.2million/month
GPs providing more extra appts than total of all others combined

US judge rules Mahmoud Khalil can be deported for his views White House has claimed that Khalil’s ‘beliefs and associations’ are counter to US foreign policy interests

The US gets less safe by the minute. We shouldn't be surprised but this is incredible in the place formerly known as "land of the free"

I've recently joined this Bluesky and seem to have landed in the US. Nothing against Americans but is there anyone from anywhere else in the world on this platform?

Hi all, finally got myself a bluesky account after months in the doldrums because of that Musky smell on twitter. I hear this is a much friendlier community:)
