Senior Lecturer in Mental Health, views are my own. Detest Tories, Reform and impoliteness. Sanity is merely the insanity of the majority.
Somewhere elegant.

People talk of the economy and business as if they are independent entities to be appeased. They are not. They are creations of people, run by people, manipulated by people, controlled by people. It's the greed of the people in control that needs addressing.

Education is a public good, not a commodity.
As Andy Burnham calls for greater public control of essential services, UCU general secretary Jo Grady asks: where is that ambition for post-16 education?
Universities and colleges need proper funding.

When I was seeking IVF many clinics including Guys wouldn't treat me because my chances of success were so low. I then spent a grand proving them right.
Whilst it wasnt ethics (they just wanted their success figures unimpinged) it was a protection of sorts. What chance now?!
Private equity buys UK fertility clinics.
PE controls social care, hospitals, GP surgeries, dentistry, child fostering.
Usual business model. High debt, quality of care declines, prices increase, high profits.
When things go wrong, NHS has to step in.

BREAKING: A top GOP official accidentally said on a hot mic, “If Netanyahu loses reelection in Israel, and Democrats in the US win subpoena power in both chambers of Congress, all I can say is Jared Kushner is completely, totally, utterly, historically, spectacularly f*cked.”

I don’t think I ever believed I’d see a newspaper paragraph like this: President Trump ‘said he would welcome immigrants from Denmark but not from Norway “because I didn’t get the Nobel Prize, so I don’t want anybody from Norway”.’

🚨Johnson Government’s Care-Home Failures: Inquiry Confirms Catastrophe, Yet No One Faces Criminal Charges
Days after the COVID Inquiry branded Boris Johnson’s government an “afterthought” on care homes, campaigners demand answers on why no misconduct prosecutions have followed. The Module 6 report, released 20 October 2026, found policy failures—including discharging untested hospital patients without isolation advice—let the virus “spread like wildfire,” contributing to more than 43,000 care-home deaths involving COVID between March 2020 and July 2022. Hancock’s “protective ring” claim was simply unfounded.
A 2022 High Court ruling had already declared those early discharge policies unlawful for ignoring known asymptomatic transmission risks. Ministers acted under immense pressure and incomplete advice, the courts noted, yet the scale of avoidable harm remains undisputed. With the inquiry confirming systemic neglect of the most vulnerable, the absence of criminal accountability looks less like due process and more like the establishment protecting its own. Families deserve more than reports and apologies.

I've locked up more child abusers than you have followers. I was a police officer for five years longer than you've been on Twitter.
Other than that, great tweet.

Dear @IsabelOakeshott will you please clarify what lobbying and public opinion campaign you/Oakright offered to Lybia (via former MP Daniel Kawczynski who now works with you)? Why was that not registered under FIRS lobbying rules? Was any Reform MP doing anything linked to Lybia?
دانييل كاوتشينسكي، النائب البريطاني السابق عن حزب المحافظين، ما زال يحاول بعد فشله السياسي أن يرجع للساحة من باب الملف الليبي، رغم إنه كان واحد من أشد المحرضين ضد القيادة العامة للجيش الوطني وضد الفريق صدام حفتر شخصيًا. في أكثر من مناسبة داخل البرلمان البريطاني استخدم كاوتشينسكي موقعه للهجوم على الجيش الوطني الليبي، ووجه أسئلة رسمية لوزارة الخارجية طالب فيها بفرض عقوبات على صدام حفتر، مستندًا إلى تقارير من منظمات منحازة. هذا السلوك وقتها كان واضح إنه عداء مباشر لأي مشروع وطني حقيقي في ليبيا.
اليوم بعد خسارته في الانتخابات، رجع كاوتشينسكي يحاول يقدم نفسه كوجه جديد “محايد” من خلال ما يسمى بالجمعية الليبية البريطانية للتنمية LBDA، ويتحرك عبر بوابة “الشراكة والتعاون الاقتصادي” وكأنه لم يكن يومًا من خصوم الجيش. لكن في الكواليس بدأ يظهر كلام كثير، مجرد word whisper، عن تحركات غامضة مرتبطة به وببعض الشخصيات الليبية المقربة من دوائر مالية.
الحديث المتداول يقول إن كاوتشينسكي يعمل مع الصحفية البريطانية إيزابيل أوكشوت من خلال شركة اسمها Oakright Global FZ-LLC، وهي شركة استشارية مسجلة في الإمارات تعمل في مجالات السياسة والإعلام وإدارة الأزمات والتأثير في الرأي العام، وتقدّم نفسها على أنها فريق من مستشارين ذوي خبرة في الحكومات والإعلام والسياسة الدولية. الشركة هذه، حسب موقعها الرسمي، متخصصة في صياغة الرسائل السياسية والتعامل مع الأزمات وتوجيه الصورة العامة لصالح عملائها.
اللي زاد الشكوك إن بعض المصادر غير المؤكدة تحدثت عن وساطة بين كاوتشينسكي وشخصيات ليبية عبر هذه الشركة، لعقود استشارية أو حملات إعلامية، لكن ما فيش أي دليل رسمي لحد الآن على صحة هالكلام. في المقابل، ظهرت مؤخرًا الصحفية أوكشوت نفسها بمقال في The Telegraph تكلمت فيه بإيجابية عن القيادة العامة واعترفت بمجهودات الجيش الوطني في محاربة الإرهاب وتحقيق الأمن، وهو مقال أثار جدل واسع لأن خصوم الرجمة روجوا إنه مدفوع الثمن وإن في أموال وصلت لقرابة 3 ملايين دينار ليبي، وهي إشاعات لم يتم التأكد منها حتى الآن.
كل هذا يبين إن الملف الليبي صار ساحة يتحرك فيها بعض السياسيين البريطانيين السابقين لأهداف شخصية ومصالح مالية، ومنهم كاوتشينسكي اللي يحاول يبدّل جلده بعد ما فقد نفوذه في لندن. ليبيا ما تحتاجش ناس من النوع هذا، اللي اليوم يدّعي الصداقة وبالأمس كان أول من يحرّض ضدها. والقيادة العامة لازم تكون واعية لكل التحركات اللي تستهدف تشويه أو استغلال صورتها إعلاميًا وسياسيًا.
وبإذن الله، الأيام الجاية نطلع في فيديو نوضح فيه أكثر خلفيات هذا الموضوع وشن حقيقة الارتباطات اللي تدور بين كاوتشينسكي، أوكشوت، والجمعية الليبية البريطانية للتنمية، بالأسماء والمصادر، حتى تكون الصورة واضحة لكل الليبيين والمتابعين للشأن الوطني

This looks like abuse of public funds.
A Vice-Chancellor earning over £500,000 claims expenses for his wife’s travel, including a “philanthropic engagement” in New York and a “spouse programme” in Switzerland
How is this acceptable? Is it not fraud?

If you haven’t watched this yet please do.
I don’t care if you are Republican or Democrat, if this doesn’t move you to vote against the current state of affairs nothing will.
Our grandchildren will watch this clip in history class, to better understand the political climate during Trumpism.

University investigations serve the interests of the administrators who order them. The administrator's unit pays the bill, and the investigators report back to the people who hired them. They are selling a product to a client.
An administrator who wants to close a unit, remove a colleague, or take out an esteemed scientist lacks the credibility or capital to do it outright. An investigation supplies what is missing. The investigators produce a report, and that report gives the desired action legitimacy and authority.
The administrator no longer has to defend the decision as “I don’t like this guy” or explain why destroying someone’s laboratory serves the institution’s mission. They can point to the findings of what they call an independent investigation. The report provides cover, while the financial relationship between the investigators and the institution buying their services gets swept aside.
This creates an obvious incentive to produce something the client finds useful. Leading questions, selective attention to negative accounts, and disregard for contrary evidence turn the investigation into a process for building the case administrators wanted. A lengthy report bearing a law firm’s or audit office’s name gives the result an appearance of authority that outsiders lack the information to challenge.
Corporate America hires consultants to justify decisions management already wants to make, while shielding executives from blame. Businesses defend confidentiality as protecting commercial interests and their owners’ investments. Universities claim a different mission. They receive taxpayer support to generate and disseminate knowledge for the public good. Importing corporate tactics to conceal administrative decisions betrays that mission. Public money should not finance a bureaucracy buying outside cover for actions it refuses to justify.

That's the Tory Jenrick who was elected in 2014
The Remainer Jenrick
The man who was part of the 10 years where the Tories took national debt from below £950billion to £2.7trillion
That's the defector without the balls to face the electorate
Rumour is he will chicken run to a safer seat
