Love the suggestion of pickle juice for cramps in @bbctms - I recommend for my patients with liver disease who get cramps. Want a job in my clinic??

Both barrels from @sarahjolney1 on the inadequacy of the Equality Impact Assessments for the Leadbeater Bill. But just look at Christine Jardine MP’s body language as Sarah Olney speaks. Jardine is the @LibDems equalities spokesperson
Sarah Olney: All of Committee done without any sight of impact assessment. When finally published, no assessment of impact on vulnerable communities. Did they not listen to...listening all the witnesses who spoke about the impacts on vulnerable people.

I think terms 'tsunami' 'epidemic' should be banned from X and presentations by non public health experts who have a professional vested interest in hyping the prevalence of their personal clinical specialty. Anyone else noticed the 'tidal wave' of these terms??

The @novonordiskfond - which makes money from obesity drugs - is holding a meeting with food industry funded scientists to 'redefine' an unhealthy diet. This is bad for public health and more than 80 of the world's leading independent food scientists are calling for a boycott. 🧵

Utterly utterly shameful treatment of Zelensky by Trump. A miserable example of the strong lording it over the weak.
