Word of the day has to be apricity: the warmth of the sun on a winter’s day - and perhaps, by extension, a glimpse of sunshine after a long, hard chill.

Watched Top Gun with the kids & suddenly realised that F14 Tomcats today are as old as Spitfires were when Top Gun was released in 1986 🤯 #TopGun #TopGunMaverick

Here’s a nice thing. The TV version of This Is Going To Hurt is all about the mental health of doctors, and culminates with the death by suicide of a junior doctor called Shruti (spoiler alert). There is a scene where a tree is planted in her memory, shot at Ealing Hospital. 1/3

Lots of people tweeted me afterwards saying they’d been to Ealing and looked for the tree, then felt silly when they realised it didn’t exist. I didn’t think it was silly - I thought there should be a memorial to healthcare professionals who have taken their own lives. 2/3

Today, with huge thanks to Ealing Hospital, we planted a tree - the UK’s only memorial to NHS staff who have died by suicide. May they rest in peace, and may we redouble our efforts to stop it happening ever in the future. 3/3

My car broke down last year - the clutch gave out. I tried passing a law making it illegal for my car to stop working, tried suing it, tried arresting it and tried sacking it. Turned out that I needed to spend money maintaining and fixing it. Who knew...

Both the Tories AND Labour now overtly pushing NHS privatisation? Privatisation won’t ā€˜fix’ the NHS, it’ll just strip services back to bare minimum to cut costs, add a profit margin, inflating total cost/fees to all patients. #ProtectOurNHS bbc.co.uk/news/uk-642796…
