Eventually everything that can be owned by a billionaire will be owned by a billionaire and at that point its future will be determined by the whims of a man making 166k per minute.
- Reposted by Jo MorrisonIn 2020, the UK effectively ended all bar a small amount of rough sleeping homelessness to protect them from COVID. Then the UK decided that was too expensive and let them go again. It can be done, just needs the will.
- Reposted by Jo MorrisonJust a word of thanks to our fantastic media. Despite my racist bullying at school, having a senior colleague imprisoned for being a traitor, breaking the MP’s Code Of Conduct 17 times, my dodgy house purchase and even being in the Epstein Files, nobody is demanding I resign!

- Reposted by Jo MorrisonThis is absolutely shocking. Something has to be done about this appalling situation in which so many now find themselves. The government needs to act

- Seeing red over the Greens’ advocacy of ‘buy the supply’ housing policy | Letters www.theguardian.com/society/2026... Interesting letter. Seems like it’s not just Reform that talk big and don’t deliver when in power. Idealism is great but doesn’t often survive first contact.

- Reposted by Jo MorrisonA man told me yesterday that it was important to "take emotion out of the equation“ when analysing the situation in the US, at which point I told him very calmly that "a woman who disagrees with you is not necessarily emotional". Ladies, it was a breakthrough. I should have done this years ago.
- Reposted by Jo MorrisonThe RCP London Workforce Census for Reg/Consultants has shown for years a major inequality in doctors per 1000 with London/SE most served and there are similar data on GP list size variability And one rationale for citing new medical schools outside traditional big city settings is to help this
- Reposted by Jo Morrisoni don't think there is one answer But people do often get jobs close to where they trained and so ensuring that medical schools, training rotation and rotation numbers are planned to reflect areas with unmet need/underserved by doctors and rebalance distribution could help But T&C also?....
- Reposted by Jo Morrisonbut we do also need, as part of the workforce planning to redistribute training posts or expand them in places with shortages As an aside, it does not follow that "Big city teaching hospital" = "good training experience" or "medium sized DGH in market town/coastal or suburb" = "Bad experience"
- Reposted by Jo MorrisonI always say that one of the reasons I was so far ahead of my colleagues when I first started working in engineering (& later teaching) after graduating was the 3 tours I'd served on the Newcastle bar and club scene Pressure, pace, organization, teamwork etc were all hardcoded in me from those days

No one in the media will call him out over this lie or any of the others he spouts.

- Reposted by Jo MorrisonSeeing Americans recognising that their current disaster is one wholly of their own making, which is true. However very little reflection on the effect it has on the rest of the world who had nothing to do with making it. We are afraid. The trust is broken. That trust is never coming back.
- Reposted by Jo MorrisonMore than half the US was acquired through purchases including the USVI which they bought from Denmark. But that actually undermines Trump's claims, because in the 1917 Treaty of the Danish West Indies the USA ruled out any claims to Greenland. More here👇 open.substack.com/pub/arthursn...

- Reposted by Jo MorrisonIf this text is real (no reason to think it isn’t) we have to accept that the only solution here is Congress doing its job. He cannot be a president in this deteriorating mental state. But Congress won’t act. We’re f*cked
- Reposted by Jo MorrisonRegular reminder that you can’t just point at the Constitution and assume it will work if the people whose job it is to uphold it are unwilling to do the work expected of them
- Reposted by Jo MorrisonThe Trump move on Greenland is celebrated as a huge victory on multiple fronts by Moscow. As Danish papers and the Danish intelligence service have documented, the whole effort to persuade Trump that he "needed" Greenland was born in the Kremlin. kyivindependent.com/russia-welco...

- Reposted by Jo MorrisonIt’s a real shame that Nigel Farage is too unwell to do interviews the morning after Donald Trump threatens us with sanctions. Here he is with “the bravest man he ever met”. He campaigned to make Trump President, and has spent the last year enjoying all the chaos he has caused.
