Amidst the buffoonery, carnival and pantomime Boris Johnson is distracting us from just how serious the next five years will be for Britain: recession, fuel prices, inflation, and a more dangerous world than at any time since the Cuban Missile Crisis. No more clowns.

With the temperature set to soar across the UK we are asking you all to offer some shallow bowls of water for hedgehogs and other wildlife - pop in a few pebbles to ensure insects can escape. Please share! 🎥 Paul Bunyard

Boris Johnson finally admits meeting ex-KGB agent Alexander Lebedev while Foreign Secretary, at height of Skripal poisoning crisis without officials or security. He went directly from NATO summit on Russia & Salisbury. Serious national security Qs. How was this allowed to happen?

Brilliant…..

Good to see a good, evidence based alcohol strategy. Looks like Newfoundland and Labrador have done it. Good work Government of Newfoundland & Labrador.

Ever considered running a Delphi process? Betul Aslan talks to the SSA about her experiences running one on #autism and #addiction. addiction-ssa.org/running-a-delp… sabaa_psp

Running a Delphi sounds a bit like academic cat-herding at times. Great to talk to Betul about this process and the ever-fascinating sabaa_psp project.

So pleased to see this work published especially at a time when the health and well being of our colleagues must be the highest priority if we are to continue to improve outcomes for patients. lnkd.in/eRdtJXQT

Pint of science - despite the name is a really good way of sharing science and ideas. Last contributed in 2015 - so thought it was time to get people to think about their relationship with alcohol once again! <iframe src="lnkd.in/eEVtviCS" height="…lnkd.in/e_nw2H-B
