Replying to @DrMichaelMosley
@DrMichaelMosley just listened to your Sleep Well episode about morning light. I’ve worn transition lenses for years. Does wearing these glasses negate the benefit of morning light? Should I stumble around outside without them first thing?!

The letter has also been sent to the party Chairman Oliver Dowden. The College will await the response on behalf of their half million respected nursing (voting) members.
Our General Secretary and Chief Executive @patcullen9 has written to @Mike_Fabricant over his comments today on nurses drinking in staff rooms during #COVID19.

The Prime Minister has apologised for being caught and has not taken responsibility for what happened in Downing Street. He and the Chancellor are not delivering for Britain on many fronts including the Brexit cost of living crisis we face. They have my 0% backing.

I feel all warm thinking that the way Rishi and Johnson were expressing their solidarity with me in hospital in June 2020 was having a great big jolly. Sozz you got fined, guys. #SadFace

Having denied it several times, the kittens have admitted that they stole the poppadom but they refuse to resign. They say they've got work to do, scratching the side of the sofa and keeping the bears away. I said there aren't any bears here. They said, that's thanks to them.

Great group from Bristol, London and Derbyshire for the #BristolSlaveTradewalk on Sunday 3 October. An opportunity to guide on and discuss this difficult and uncomfortable part of Bristol, Bath and British history and to explain Colston's divisive legacy to Bristol. @RuthHecht

In plain sight, Boris Johnson is rigging the system to stay in power: buff.ly/39X4KRm This is not just about #Populism or #StrongMan politics, it’s about a decreasing ability of democracy to fight on a sufficiently broad front against the quashing of key freedoms.
