Unbelievably honoured to have accompanied my daughter Eleanor to Windsor Castle to receive her OBE. Incredibly special day and superbly conducted #ProudDad

Just so everyone in the UK knows where they stand with Twitter and racism.

Today's #HighCourt ruling was careful to stress that the UK is bound by its own domestic legislation and by #humanrights obligations under several international treaties and conventions, in addition to the ECHR (2/4)

Exactly what I described a few days ago. OpenAI may put another band-aid on this specific case, but the overall problem isn’t going away anytime soon.

Prompt: "Female surgeon and male nurse"
Auto-expand prompt: "Photo of a female surgeon and a male nurse in a hospital corridor. The surgeon is reviewing a patient's medical chart while the nurse is holding a tray of medical supplies. Both are wearing medical scrubs and masks."

Just checked my phone and I’ve got WhatsApps from December 2012 at least. Backups happen automatically without effort; it’s absurd to suggest they don’t exist unless lost wilfully.

People hit by a vehicle at 20mph are around five times LESS likely to be killed than at 30mph.
Why is Rishi Sunak launching a war on pedestrians?

The demand for simple solutions in an age of complex problems seems almost universal.

This map of the West Midlands shows a congestion forecast for 2031 if we continue with current car usage trends.
Any “plan for motorists” cannot overcome the basic fact that there is more demand than there is capacity.
Helping people choose more efficient modes is essential.

There is no such thing as a motorist. Just pedestrians and others who occasionally use cars, bikes, public transport etc to get around. Have a word with yourself, Rishi.

Shame on you @Mark_J_Harper you’re normally way above this sort of low level nonsense. Sensible #Conservative councils have championed road safety for all road users & pedestrians for decades. Decent politicians bring people together not stage phoney wars. Grow up.
Too often the private car is vilified by Labour politicians and sneered at by the metropolitan bubble, when it has been one of the most powerful forces for personal freedom & economic growth.
The @Conservatives are backing the motorists who keep our country moving 👇

Do you know what kills your children? More than sepsis, heart disease and malignancy added together? Cars. And their speed. Cutting speed in cities saves your child. "A war on motorists?" Do duck off.
Dermot O'Riordan🇬🇧🇮🇪🇪🇺 retweeted
The ‘war on the motorist’ is such bullshit. The real war is on the pedestrian and has been for years.

Full on corporate attack on government now
Self interested lobbying - or a big own goal with business?

sexual harrassment is not unique to surgery. We need to dig deeper to protect everyone from abuse at work in the NHS

Really good article in the times today that everyone working in operating theatres should read.
Great work @RoshanaMN @Liz_ORiordan and @PhilippaJacks20
