The founders believed that if a madman became president, members of Congress would serve the country’s interest and remove him from office. That seemed a reliable system to safeguard the republic. Boy, did they screw up.

Hanlon’s razor aside, it’s not hard to wonder if the NHS specialty doctor recruitment fiasco and mass unemployment of doctors is failure by design. After all, policy direction suggests we don’t need doctors and instead just need “differently trained” advanced workforces.

What Martin said. Independent SAGE were not cranks, not extremists, not over-reacting. #covidinquiry

1/ How does the COVID Inquiry's Module 2 report align with what we said in @independentsage.bsky.social at the time? A 🧵on Transparency, Early & Decisive Action, Scientific Advice, Integration of Social & Economic Harms, Communication and Behavioural Science, Governance, Data and Preparedness

Yesterday Reform UK were given the Rusty Razor award for the worst pseudoscience of the year. From denying climate change to platforming quacks, Reform propagate dangerous nonsense. www.skeptic.org.uk/2025/10/refo...

I am disgusted by Reform UK's threats to people who have built a life in this country. They are coming for our neighbours. They are coming for our colleagues. They are coming for our friends. We are at a dangerous moment. This hatred cannot be appeased. It must be defeated.

In case you thought I was exaggerating, here is the "debate" on Kimmel from Newsnight. David Frum explaining the horrific first-amendment-breaching executive overreach. British right wing hacks: bUt HiS jOkE wAs iNaCCuRaTe!

Alex Andreou@sturdyalex.bsky.social · last yr.

In a month of lows, tonight's Newsnight was a new one. I felt very sorry for @davidfrum.bsky.social trying to explain the first amendment to a panel, incredibly, trying to both-sides a Trump administration nakedly, explicitly, and on-record blackmailing media companies into silence. WTAF

Is there anything left worth fighting for in Britain? After 14 years of mismanagement and the last 3 months of open xenophobia and racism, it feels bleak. I’m tied here through co-parenting, but I fear for my daughter’s generation.

I was warning about the dangerous nonsense that Malhotra was spreading …over 3y ago. I even warned Nigel Farage in his GBNEWS show bromsgrovestandard.co.uk/news/video-a... Vote Reform get dangerous cranks

Helen Morgan MP@helenmorganlibdem.bsky.social · last yr.

It’s clear there is no lie too low or dangerous for Farage and his acolytes. Let there be no doubt: Reform are a threat to our health. We cannot let them get their hands on our NHS. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

Dr Rachel Clarke@drrachelclarke.com · last yr.

This is exactly the kind of despicable scaremongering that Aseem Malhotra has made his modus operandi. Insinuations, hearsay, anti-vaxx, non-evidence-based, lurid, self-enriching, anti-scientific claptrap. Of course Reform UK lapped it up. 1/4

I’ve had time to read the Leng Review in full. While some celebrate minor cosmetic wins, I see the formal entrenchment of a parallel, underqualified medical workforce — built without medical training.

Martin McKee@martinmckee.bsky.social · last yr.

🧵1/ Big changes are coming for the occupational group now termed physician associates (PAs) and anaesthesia associates (AAs) in England. Our new @bmj.com piece (@trishgreenhalgh.bsky.social & me) unpacks the implications of the Leng Review, commissioned by @wesstreeting. Here are our thoughts. 👇

Doctors’ Association UK@thedauk.bsky.social · last yr.

🗣️| @drmk.link: “There's unease at the direction of travel towards a fragmented, task-based model which implies ‘anyone can do it’. "Medicine can't be reduced to checklists and delegated tasks. It's a complex, deeply responsible profession that demands a medical degree and years of further training."

Carney: The system of global trade anchored on the United States.. is over. Our old relationship of steadily deepening integration with the United States is over. The 80 year period when the United States embraced the mantle of economic leadership… is over.
