Just learned HS1 (Kent) was EU standard of 180mph, HS2 went for 225+. Speed needs smoother, straighter tracks, more tunnels, more damaging. We need capacity, not velocity.

In the NHS working from home is over and above, not instead of. But Mr Musk says both will become obsolete thanks to AI - digital examination of the prostate in two senses!

Piano wars! Wigmore Hall started life as the Bechstein Hall, before WW1 put a stop to German businesses in London. Bechstein is soon opening a studio and concert hall a few doors along. Thrilled to be going to Wigmore again next month!

Junior doc strikes again leading up to election. They say that they will call them off if the PM makes an acceptable commitment. Nothing stopping him now - its a promise he will never have to keep. Do it, Rishi!

I’m simply horrified to see NHS England now literally breaking the law in how it misrepresents physician associates & other allied health professional - who are NOT doctors - to the public. These posters are from the Bradford District & Craven Health & Care Partnership. 1/n
