https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2025/apr/04/reform-uk-candidates-council-local-elections-2025-former-conservatives

> Over 60 Reform UK candidates in local elections are Tory defectors, study finds

> Nineteen of the 23 councils up for election this May are run by the Conservatives.

1) Get the Tory Out. Too bad for too long
2) Keep Reform Out. Solution to Blue Tories is not even more extreme Pale-Blue Tories
3) Get Labour Out. Punish Red Tories for being the same as Blue Tories

Which leaves LibDem, Green to do the right thing.

Insurance is the Canary in the collapse mine.

You can't hedge climate change. There's not much opportunity to go short either.

- Bradford

50ml Gin, 5ml Dry Vermouth, dash Orange Bitters, shake, dbl strain, Lemon twist discard

Mr Bradford liked his Martinis very dry and without the olive. In a Fleming style. Although Ian Fleming probably would have added a shot of vodka and made it twice as big.

Oh, by the way, the NHS App and Airmid app run in parallel with the same info. Receptionist said "you have to order the prescription yourself. Online using Airmid, Next. (!)".

As an ex-web/software developer, the UI for the whole process just sucks.

# · Mastodon View the site

The process doesn't work because
- no direct feedback to patient.
- The app doesn't even notify you.
- Prescriptions are in two different places.
- Surgery can't work out to just order the new prescription
- Pharmacy doesn't txt to say it's ready.

The lesson is. If you ever get special treatment, blood test or whatever, keep checking the NHS app once a day for results and next actions. At least they do turn up now, even if you have to search.

A moan about the NHS app (and services).

Consultancy referral. Letter to Surgery. Prescription request to surgery. Zero notifications from the app. Presc is in "approved prescriptions" status never issued. Also in Manage Prescriptions where there's an option to get a repeat.

Consultancy sends a TXT saying check your letter. Which is for a new appointment.

Finally, check NHS app to find letters saying take the presc. Pharmacy says not received. Surgery says you have to order it.

Gah!

UK Covid Vax. Multiple reports of people getting Moderna JN.1 vax in the UK Spring '25 campaign. When they got Pfizer JN.1 in the Autumn '24 campaign.

disclosure: I'm no longer eligible this time around.

Pfizer + Moderna is supposed to be a good thing.

Novavax is unavailable, even privately.

Memories of walking into the West Holts field at Glastonbury just as Parliament were launching into Maggot Brain.

And of course, the other half.
