Brilliant to see the 1997 (yes, 1997) GB relay team receive their World Championships gold medals after the USA win removed following doping violations. Roger Black, Iwan Thomas, Jamie Baulch and Mark Richardson. Gold medalists. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻🏅🏅🏅🏅

"We are calling on all four national UK governments to review their midwifery workforce planning approach and call a halt to the recruitment freezes that are preventing women and their families from receiving the care they need and deserve" says RCM theguardian.com/society/2025/j…

This is fantastic news. London 2012 was brilliant, the world champs in 2017 were great. To have them back in 2029 would be amazing. UK Government backs bid to bring World Athletics Championships back to London in 2029 - GOV.UK gov.uk/government/new…

Except it’s not. Teaching children they were born in the right body is both rational and much needed because 90% of the girls at the Tavistock were same sex attracted, 80% of the boys. That was conversion therapy and you “lefties” supported it.

An honour to join the maternity & neonatal safety panel at The Royal College of Midwives conference earlier this week. I’m committed to working with professionals across the system to drive meaningful change for women, babies, and families.

ICYMI, new data shows high levels of confidence in the UK’s childhood vaccination programme. 90% of parents also agreed that vaccine-preventable diseases like pneumonia, meningitis, hepatitis, polio and septicaemia were serious. Read the full story here: bit.ly/3GBfSay
