66 years old and a keen history student, yet still I learned so much at @ChalkeFestival . A fantastic 2 days at the festival last week; hoping to repeat the experience next year 🤞🤞🤞
It’s utterly appalling that newly qualified doctors - after 5 years of training - are paid less than “physician assistants” - who have just 2 years of training.
'Even if our pay was restored we would still be paid less than the Physician Assistants with their two year degree’ BMA Resident Doctors Committee Co-chair, Dr Ross Nieuwoudt says his members feel 'a little bit tricked' by Wes Streeting as they begin a five-day strike in England
The number of professional reputations being trashed in the Sandie Peggie tribunal, as cosy ideology meets the cold light of exposure to truth, is quite staggering.
The Sandie Peggie employment tribunal is currently exposing, as perhaps no court case to date has, the issue of class as it relates to the top-down imposition of gender identity ideology in the workplace. 'Diversity officer' Isla Bumba has now admitted in court that she didn't…

Politics aside, if you can’t fight for your country due to the 18yo age threshold, then you shouldn’t be entitled to vote. End of.
At 16, you can’t: Marry. Buy alcohol or cigarettes. Drive. Go to war. Get a tattoo. Do the lottery. Be on a Jury. Buy a house. Get a full time job without being in some form of education or training until you are 18. A desperate Labour believe that 16-year-olds should vote.
This isn’t justice. They’d have received a lesser sentence if they’d committed theft, a burglary or a violent crime. #SycamoreGap #Sycamore

30 years ago you stood in solidarity with Serbian death squads and condemned NATO for intervening you fraud.
It’s a glorious morning down here at Lee. Spring tides though, so watch out for strong tidal streams off the beaches! #SavingLivesAtLee #EyesAlongTheCoast
I feel we should return to this style of reporting. @thetimes

The Observer has an extraordinary takedown of the two-million-selling memoir and movie The Salt Path - alleging “Raynor Winn” is a fake name, she is a fraudster who stole thousands from friends, and her husband’s degenerative illness may be fake observer.co.uk/news/national/…
Between Biggar, Warburton and ROG they’ve really picked some of the better rugby brains to analyse the game and break it down for people who may not watch rugby outside of big internationals. It makes a confusing game more accessible, this is how you grow the sport.
Impressive tennis player. Very impressive young woman. #SonayKartal 👏👏👏
The show must go on 🤩 Sonay Kartal is into the fourth round of a Grand Slam for the first time in her career after defeating Diane Parry 6-4, 6-2 on No.1 Court 👏 #Wimbledon
The morning after the most magical week… Whether you came for the history, the music, the talks, the food, or the sheer joy of it all – thank you. 💛 Keep the memories coming... this isn’t goodbye, just see you next year! 👋 #ChalkeHistoryFestival #OnlyAtChalke #Chalke2025
On set today with Inbal Rabin-Lieberman, the 26-year-old heroine whose quick thinking and IDF weapons training meant that her village, Nir Am, was the only one along the Gaza border where none of the residents was killed. She’s watching today as they film a reenactment of her…
The irony of people chanting.. 'Death Death to the IDF' at a music festival, when Hamas went and killed 1700 people at a music festival is absolutely wild.. Listen, this is not a political post.. just crazy how stupid these people are.
This is awesome! The new Frogman memorial in Brittany, France, almost disappears completely at high tide! @BrittanyRememb1 @RNFROGMAN @Commando_Ops Might need to visit...
