Gutted to say not going back to @MySamsonite . Lord knows I travel, but poor service refusing a faulty item to repair/replace (a product still on the shelves in the shop) is not what I thought the Samsonite brand was about. Live and learn. Share, ask, go elsewhere.

Not entirely safe for work... but he does make a point or two. This is a difficult day for many people holding their nose and going for the best-ish of a really bad lot. If nowt else, NHS needs change, help, and to survive.I know who I am not voting today...
Well, this one seems to be popular!

Nobody talking about dropping Kame- he is the problem- doesn't run behind. GK- Pickford Back 4- Tripper, Walker, Stones, Guehi Holding- Rice, Trent Top 4- Bellingham, Foden, Saka, (Watkins or Toney) Eng needs runners behind to threaten and create space Thoughts?

I see both elafibrinor and OCA are on the agenda. Anybody know anything else? My fear is there is no patient representation at these discussions- can anyone reassure me? @adyeoman @CholestasisDoc @MichaelHenegha8
The agenda of EMA's human medicines committee #CHMP is now published. Find out what medicines will be discussed this month ๐Ÿ’Š๐Ÿ’‰europa.eu/!8NQ6cy The committee highlights will be released on Friday.

I have seen a couple of his excerpts and both were excellent- calm, thoughtful and pertinent. Almost gives you hope that we can do better...
Victor Adebowale, "I do wonder.. In some countries they have rent controls.. And they don't have a shortage of social housing" #BBCQT @Voa1234 "My wife is is a health visitor. She gets a lot of people who have really serious illnesses caused by poor housing conditions.. And I do wonder if the NHS should treat those people, and then send the bill to the landlord" "And stop calling affordable housing affordable housing when it isn't"

A great video explaining some of the basics...
On #WorldLiverDay, we recognize the liver's central role in a myriad of vital functions in the body. With chronic liver disease on the rise, education surrounding #LiverHealth is so important. Watch to learn more about #PrimaryBiliaryCholangitis, a rare liver disease.

When you see speeches like this, then compare to what the hell is going on in govt... it's almost like we were lied to and he was villainised by our media. Just as well that would never happen in our country, isn't it...
Boris Kagarlitsky. Julian Assange. Dr. Ghassan Abu-Sittah. All around the world, the freedoms of anti-war campaigners are under attack. We have to stand up equally for human rights, everywhere.

The incredible power of the International PBC Summit.

To the girl in the orange hoodie. I am sorry you had to go through this. There will come a day you will be thankful. But until then, know countless people in this world are supporting you, are with you and see the real you. If you find any of us- have the courage to reach out...
