The ‘murky’ world of GP finance
This is an example of a 10,000 Patient practice
Average patient will have 7 GP practice appts/year, 1 A&E attendance every 3 years, 2 hospital appts/year
£169/patient/year goes GP
£3079 goes to hospitals
£40pa would solve GP crisis

ICE agents are paid a bonus for anyone they seize and that includes tourists- read this account from a retired tourist held for 6wks despite a valid visa and seriously think do you need to go to the States? World Cup and Olympics are huge issues imo

Ethnic cleansing concerns in Gaza and West Bank amid intensified violence and forcible transfers by Israel – UN report
Just occurred to me that as Trump’s DOJ was investigating, indicting, and arresting Epstein — and talking that same summer to a woman accusing Trump of assaulting her as a child — across almost that exact same timeline he does all that crazy shit with Ukraine that ends up getting him impeached
NEW - I'm thrilled to announce I was asked to interview Robert Jenrick at a car boot sale for the New Yorker.

Incredibly effective writing and maybe the only way left to get to the people who have not vaccinated.
I wish I could make all new parents read this, and everyone who hasn’t vaccinated their children.
This is a vivid, horribly relevant read. “She does not sleep well. And as you lift up her pajama top to check her rash one morning, you see that her breathing is labored, shadows pooling between her ribs when she sucks in air. You suffer an icy moment of realization: This is a medical crisis.”
“Prohibited words and concepts: Equity, diversity, & inclusion; anti-racism; Bias; Critical race theory; implicit bias; oppression; intersectionality; prohibited discriminatory practices; racial privilege; promoting stereotypes based on personal identity characteristics.”
This week, I withdrew from a speaking engagement at a public university because they sent me a list of prohibited “words & concepts.” I will not humor this censorship. It does a disservice to the stories I’m discussing & the audience, who deserve unfettered access to information & conversation.
Oh God are we doing this again?

It was an absolute pleasure being part of this conversation. Talking about death can help you learn a lot about life...
“I’m really worried for my friends and neighbours who are immigrants, or the children of immigrants, who’ve kept our city region moving.”
Our candidate for Gorton and Denton, Hannah Spencer, says the threat of adopting ICE-style tactics would put hardworking communities in the firing line.
The annoying thing about Substack, client journalists who are all earning 6 figures have opened accounts, spreading their half truths and misinformation there also! Support independent journalism like this. PLEASE watch this, you will learn that legacy has 1/2

Can anyone think of another group of people who did this? Clue: Germany 1930s.
Donald Trump’s mental decline has gotten worse.
Why is the media only barely starting to report on it?
And why won’t they ask who’s really making the decisions in the White House? https://youtu.be/NQHLciC67V8?si=uoJIQXi5JIEJvac-

The UK’s favourite pint-sized fascist, Tommy Robinson, has announced that he now self-identifies as a refugee. Although Little Tommy is biologically patriotic, and grew up fiercely opposing refugees, he had a change of heart after feeling “unsafe” in Luton […]
For 50 years, the median wage of hourly workers stagnated or declined while the stock market and CEO pay skyrocketed.
Is it any wonder why so many feel abandoned by the system? People lose faith, and a demagogue fills the void.
This is why we must fix the system. AOC is right.

Palantir, a US spy-tech firm, has been given access to millions of NHS patient records.
Its founder has said the NHS should be 'ripped up'.
Join me in calling on the government to end the dangerous Palantir contract.

A few days ago, I stood in the graveyard of an 1100 year old church, getting damper and damper in the drizzling rain.
A woman walked into the graveyard, waved, said hello, and, as we had previously arranged, handed me a paper bag full of human bones.
The life of a churchwarden is a strange one...
I say to the police that it's important to us, to have the bones back. That whoever they belonged to wanted to be buried, here, at this church. That even though time separates us, time is nothing to God, and they are still part of our community. I say we want to bring them home. To rebury them.
The cover of Arthur’s children’s book “Jacob’s Transition Goals” that will be released on 21st April 2026
Super excited to share the cover of my children’s book Jacob’s Transition Goals!
Jacob’s Transition Goals is about an 8 year old transgender boy who starts playing football for his local boys team. It’s a joyful story that I wish I’d been able to read when I was a trans kid.
Out April 21st!

also, side note, but why are these deranged outbursts by a deranged racist & misogynist ‘embarrassing’ for Starmer, who’s trying to prop up a security alliance in the face of madness, and not ‘embarrassing’ for the journalists working on these stories who’ve done so much to sanewash Trump?
