- What a lovely lovely compliment 🤗
- @mrjamesob.bsky.social @shelaghfogarty.bsky.social If I may, and forgive me if this is inappropriate, but you two do handovers of the level of beauty that was only rivalled by Terry Wogan & Jimmy Young. And no, I'm merely showing my own age here. Love your work.

- Ah Fred. Calm down.
- We need to think hard about how we describe what’s happening in #NHS A&E/ Ambulance services. We can’t just talk about Winter pressure and flu numbers absent any context on bed numbers since 2010, staff sickness because they work in hellish places, vaccine messaging, GP/community/social care gaps.
