Notice how the most celebrated and successful space mission in *decades* was run by at least 50% “DEI hires”—not all white men? And not even all Americans. Maybe diversity *is* strength . . .

Did you know that the UK, which gets to spend all of England’s revenue as well as about 40% of the revenue of Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland, fails to balance its books or reduce its deficit? Meanwhile the Scottish Government, with very limited devolved powers, balances its books every year.👇

Richard Madeley asks @fletchjack.bsky.social from the BMA, if the govt bans the right to strike would resident doctors obey the law?
Jack points out the BMA is a trade union & wouldn't call illegal action.
Ah, Richard concludes, as he puts on his jackboots, so that would stop the strikes!
