Victoria Atkins is the fifth Secretary of State for Health and Social Care in the last two years.

Newham London has one of the highest rates of child homelessness. These children & their parents are not making a lifestyle choice. It is insulting to them to suggest this. A society that has political leaders who are so out of touch, is a society at loss. Where’s the humanity?

Narcissism among university VCs negatively affects performance. No really?! Interesting study in the journal Research Policy. Not sure I buy their measure of narcissism but findings have, ahem, a lot of face validity. Full paper at sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

Oh, this is quite funny. Carl Heneghan faced up with the somewhat derogatory WhatsApp messages about him from others at the famous No 10 Sept meeting about lockdowns...

Just been reading the transcript of Carl Heneghan 's evidence to the COVID inquiry. He was, in short, absolutely and deservedly shredded by both the lead counsel and the chair. My favourite bit below, but well worth reading in full. Transcript is at covid19.public-inquiry.uk/wp-content/upl…

When things go wrong, the easiest thing to do is to blame the temporary/agency staff. Our research suggests that high use of agency/locum staff is an symptom of deeper problems in the organisation, not the cause of quality problems. From Health Service Journal (paywalled)

Thanks Trafnidiaeth Cymru Trenau Transport for Wales Rail for this really useful seat reservation for a 4+ hour journey on your two carriage train Swansea to Chester. It's Schrodinger's reservation for a seat that isn't a seat.

Nothing illustrates the failure of UK govt investment in rail infrastructure better than the moment the GWR train pulls into Cardiff on overhead electric lines, then fires up its diesel engines for the slow journey to Swansea and Camarthen. Because Chris Grayling cut the funding.
