NEW: America is a rich country. Britain is a poor country with one wealthy region.
People love to compare the UK to Mississippi, but it’s far more informative to look at UK subnationally, too.
London ranks fairly well, the rest of the country does not 👉 ft.com/content/e5c741a7-befa…

Consultants who think they have good pay either
1) bought a house > 10 years ago and levelled up or
2) benefit from a middle/ high income earning partner or
3) have a CEA award or
4) do private practice
Have a reality check of which privilege you have.

Consultants who bought their properties 10 years ago: If you couldn’t afford to buy your current property at its current valuation, at the current comparable salary you’d have now, you should probably be striking.

Oh, I didn’t realise it worked like this! @grantshapps can I invoice you for the extra cost of my mortgage, energy bills and food which your party incontrovertibly caused?

I’ve written to @Keir_Starmer to request he pays for the criminal damage the Just Stop Oil attacks on the Energy Security Department caused this morning
As the political wing of Just Stop Oil, it is the Labour Party not the taxpayer that should be paying the bill

Delighted to see Omid @OAlavijeh ‘s genomic analysis of kidney stones published! He found non-Mendelian rare variants were key missing pieces of the heritability puzzle. Thanks to @drmelaniechan @drsarahhowles @GenomicsEngland @SMoochhala and Detlef Bockenhauer

But something is missing from the plan... a plan for PAY.
I produced that chart 👇 2 months ago, new pay & wait data are just in - pls read to end & RT!

Looks like you can #Flozinate your dialysis patients!
"In individuals with kidney failure on dialysis, dapagliflozin was well-tolerated, slightly dialyzable, and had non-accumulating pharmacokinetic properties"

Divorce by combat, the medieval way of ending a marriage
In medieval Germany, husbands and wives could settle their disputes through marital duels. The man fought with one arm tied behind his back in a hole, while the woman wore weighted clothing and used a sack filled with rocks as her weapon. If they couldn't resolve their differences peacefully, they would engage in the duel. The consequences were severe: the husband would be beheaded if he lost, and the wife would be buried alive.
