It takes 20 years for a London dr to earn more than a London PA 🤯 I asked O3-Pro to analyse cumulative earnings from the start of their courses onwards, accounting for the London weighting. Docs cumulatively out-earn PAs 21 yrs after starting med school, 6 yrs into consultancy

Just wrapped up an incredible 5-day ILD preceptorship course in Exeter. Honoured to host 11 brilliant delegates from Argentina — a week of inspiring talks, MDT discussions & deep dives into every corner of ILD care. Grateful, energised, and ready for more! #ILD #curePF

💰 Water companies profit. 🥀 Farmers are misled. 🌍 The public and nature pay the price. 📣 It’s time to stop the spread. Sign our petition to ban toxic sewage sludge on farmland and make water companies pay the true cost of disposing of this toxic waste safely: 👇…

“It’s a Trojan horse” 🐴 bit.ly/3IuCDxk “Pfas, pharmaceuticals, endocrine disruptors and microplastics hidden in sludge threaten the long-term sustainability of humanity’s farmland.” said a water sector insider. Marketed as fertiliser, this sludge is polluting our…

Over recent weeks I’ve heard about some trials struggling with the phenomenon known as “Lasagne’s Law.” I’ve flagged this issue before, but always good to revisit it and discuss what can be done to minimise it 1/7 #MethodologyMonday #121

This landmark study in The Lancet should be etched on @elonmusk's gravestone: Dismantling USAID is projected to cause 14 million deaths between 2025 and 2030 — that’s more than 2.4 million lives lost every year. That’s as many lives lost as in World War I.

The figures are largely accurate. Undocumented immigrants paid ~$89.8B in total taxes in 2023 (American Immigration Council). Many listed companies, including Tesla ($0 federal income tax on $2.3B U.S. income in 2024 per ITEP), paid $0 in federal income taxes due to legal…

Catastrophic cost of £40bn to the UK economy from Brexit now effectively confirmed. bit.ly/43Yw4f1

Reform UK is proposing a "Britannia card" that would let wealthy foreigners pay a £250k fee to move to the UK, and live here exempt from all tax on their foreign assets. What they don't say: it would cost the UK £34bn. Thread:

"26 Devon beaches and rivers hit by sewage pollution." Thinking of heading to Devon during the school holidays were you? 🤔 devonlive.com/news/devon-new…

People vying to take over @thameswater want the Government to let the company off the hook for serious environmental crimes 😡 No fines. No justice. Just more sewage in our rivers. We can’t let this happen! Sign the petition urging Steve Reed to say NO: 38d.gs/lz22

Dear BBC, Reform UK have just five MPs and are supported by less than 30% of the electorate. Yet you continue to give them a disproportionately high level of coverage and airtime. This is deeply concerning. Yours sincerely, A frustrated licence fee payer #r4today

Some mornings, like today, I wake up and think, what's the point in trying to push water uphill? Are we fighting a losing battle against the populist playbook? And then I see what's occurring in the US, and realise, it has to be done. There are Farage fanatics, who's minds…

I could have never conceived that the U.S. President would be far more aggressive against a great university than he would be against a Russian dictator engaged in invading a U.S. ally. Why is it smart to starve cancer research, students on financial aid, innovation in public…

This guy stole $10 million from the employees of his nursing home to buy himself a luxury yacht and Cartier watches. He PLED GUILTY. And because his Mom gave Trump $1 million, he just got a pardon. And this story barely makes the news today. WTF. nytimes.com/2025/05/27/us/…
