UK is facing a HUGE issue with the supply of generic medicines. ADHD drugs are the tip of an iceberg and it's not just about supply but who is supplying. UK has lost its independent capacity to manufacture. Time government woke up to this. #r4today

Airport parking: ‘I was charged £170 for stopping at a traffic light’ This reflects so well the profiteering/dreadful service mentality of those running ⁦@BristolAirport⁩. They take EVERY opportunity to screw passengers.#Bristol theguardian.com/money/articl…

Expiring medications could pose problem for Mars astronauts | "On the shelf" hence "shelf life". If problem is decomposition, then slow it down. It's space and it's cold. Someone just needs to mimic cold, dry and O2 free as an alternative "shelf". No? theguardian.com/science/arti…

What ridiculous sentences. They'll have to free violent prisoners to make room for these threats. Surely @YvetteCooperMP there's an effective means of dealing with them?@carla_denyer show Bristol Central what influence you have with Labour (your manifesto...) #juststopoil

The sentences handed to the five @JustStop_Oil campaigners are utterly disproportionate. Four and five years in prison for peaceful protest? This is what you might expect in Russia or Egypt, not in a supposed democracy. theguardian.com/environment/…

Bringing people like @JamesTCobbler into government who have experience and put them into a role that draws on that experience ..... there's a novelty. #r4today

The political choice over Brexit was not "the people's". It was Cameron's to launch the referendum without any clue as to the exit strategy. That irresponsibility caused huge, highly toxic national division and the problems that have and will continue to emerge. #bbclaurak

Aren't the actions of two @Conservatives candidates and the (now ex-) director of the campaign counter to the professional standards that @RishiSunak pledged to uphold? Or, are greed and stupidity baked into the culture? #wato #GeneralElection4July

First EVER footy game I went to - 1990(1?), taken by my Gooner wife - was at Highbury vs Spurs and who scored? Kevin Campbell. Don't honestly remember much else - they won of course- but that's enough.

The law breaking, negligence and incompetence of @EnvAgency will be (one of) the "next big scandal" with CEO Philip Duffy playing Paula Vennells and @Feargal_Sharkey as Alan Bates. Shocking admissions this week from Duffy. #r4today #skynews theguardian.com/environment/…

Replying to @RestIsPolitics
@RestIsPolitics @RoryStewartUK @campbellclaret Why does UK have a default "bury it" approach to any scandal that means it takes YRS to resolve anything? Infected blood blood; servicemen exposed to nuclear radiation; BSE; POL; Windrush; Saville; "cold research" in Porton Down

2/ Andy Burham has raised this - Hillsboro's another and NUMEROUS medical scandals. If pilots got away with what clinicians do, there'd be no planes left in the skies. Are we just doomed to repeat these and never learn the lessons the history teaches us?

Shocking. Is this REALLY how @gregfenves wants @EmoryUniversity perceived on a world stage? Sure, if Emory wants to relocate to Russia, Iran, N Korea. He needs a mirror to look into and reflect on this. Perhaps the faculty will do that for him. #Emory theguardian.com/us-news/2024…

Depressing @ThangamMP and @RestIsPolitics to hear @EmilyThornberry say the solution is to build MORE prisons. Surely, if that's the answer, they are asking the wrong question. #r4today

Are @BBCBristol @itvwestcountry @BristolLive interested in a lost luggage fiasco that @BristolAirport are washing their hands of? Some useful travel advice has emerged but @BristolAirport's ability to take money without taking responsibility for failures is staggering. DM me.

Anyone else fed up with the dreadful service provided by @swissportNews at @BristolAirport on behalf of @KLM @KLM_UK @AirFranceKLM ? I for one am having waited since Monday night when my "lost bag" arrived there! KLM seem paralysed.
