Thanks for highlighting Jeremy, we agree that low NHS productivity is a real problem A quick thread to explain the causes and why the strategies that led to productivity improvements during the 2010s likely contributed to some of the current problems 🧵👇
This is what much of the debate about our post-election spending plans is missing. NHS funding is also up by a third since 2010. The answer isn’t just more money, it has to be about productivity. If we can hit the 0.5% productivity growth increases we regularly got in the years

Think of it as a no fault eviction notice Rachel
I’ve been asked to step down from my role as Housing Minister. Disappointed and was looking forward to introducing the Renters Reform Bill to Committee tomorrow and later the Leasehold and Freehold Bill. It has been a privilege to hold the position and I wish my successor well.

my daughter is mortally terrified of nearly all dogs and one thing that it’s taught me is that most owners are far more bothered about persuading you their dog is safe to be around than actually ensuring it is

Things Mums do: -Burst into bedrooms without warning and open curtains -Say “are you in that fridge again?” -Declare somewhere “an absolute tip” when there’s a cushion out of place -Say “get in the car” with a devastating amount of quiet rage #MothersDay

40 years ago, the UK reported its first AIDS related death. We now know his name was John Eaddie thanks to @PaulBrandITV’s reporting. But it’s also important to know how far we’ve come in the fight against HIV since then👇 #ITVTonight

Exemplary summary!
I want to highlight the story of Hydroxychloroquine, as although the evidence is shifting against this drug being effective in COVID-19, it is a complete failure in the scientific method, and the way clinical research is allowed to function Thread below 1/
