East Antarctica 38.5C above seasonal average on March 18th.

Biggest jump in temperature ever recorded at a met station - anywhere on Earth.

Just staggering.

Make no mistake.

Anything is now possible. And I mean anything.

Of all times, when medical data is the subject of misinfomation and disinformation, why on *earth* would one of the Royal Colleges put a spin on data.

What's particularly daft is doing this in a room full of experts including experts in medical statistics.

Not Good.

So senior figures within the Royal College of Physicians presented a false picture of what its survey found. What a mess. One resignation so far...

It’s also worth noting that executive and board directors carry the liability for this under law. That ‘crumbling national infrastructure’ isn’t a defence under health and safety law or breach of CQC regulations. All of which can carry fines/ prison sentences.

This seems like a fairly crass way to try to incentivise improvement. It’s especially crass to announce it with 2 and a bit weeks left to go to try deliver the improvement. This is not how to help the NHS deliver what patients and staff want

Mothering is glorious and strange. A making and undoing in ways it will take your whole life to understand. It will swell your heart with love and break it like an egg. You will never feel enough, even though you have always been, will always be, everything.
