I am taking action today to protect our NHS from trade deals.
I don't want:
❌Higher drug prices
❌Poorer conditions for NHS staff
❌The sale of NHS patient data, and
❌Public health for private profit

Something topical on the #Irish Vampire for #Halloween by me. With an apparition by @IrisMurdoch of course.

There was no mist here and a great vault of clear stars hung over the city with an intent luxurious brilliance. It was the sort of night where one knows of other galaxies.

Today is the 101st anniversary of the birth of @IrisMurdoch, whose novels have haunted my journey of faith & voyage in ministry since my junior year of high school, stumbling across "A Fairly Honourable Defeat." Try "The Bell" if you're looking for an entry into her body of work.

Coming events do cast shadows. Writers know that their books are often prophetic.

Murdoch aficionados are more than welcome to put here their best Murdoch reads, and recommendations for those who have always thought "I must have a go at Iris Murdoch's books one day"
