What happens if you follow the licence for antipsychotic treatment in dementia? Our target trial emulation shows stopping treatment after 12 or 24 weeks reduced risk of delirium and fractures but had no effect on stroke, pneumonia and all cause mortality.

I've been to France. Portugal. Across Europe.
People aren't hustling 70 hours. They're having dinner at 9pm with families.
Walking to the bakery on Tuesdays. Living.
And they're fine. More than fine.
The hustle narrative is an American export. It's not a law of nature.

Not a single Brexit dinosaur has ever been able to explain how increasing trade barriers helps the UK grow GDP.
Only reply they have left now is 'but..but..Germany..'
As if that's somehow relevant.
What a bunch of economically illiterate 🤡🤡

If you're a Brexit economic impact denialist at this point just block me please. Or reply with your denial and I'll block you. It's so damaging to Britain and such a sign of incapacity for self reflection that I'm not willing to entertain it any more. So sad.

🔵 @jonsopel to Jenrick, “It was about personal ambition!”
“You were a Brexiteer when Boris... You said it's a shame that Liz Truss is still in the Conservative Party- but you voted for her budget. And now, when the Tories are languishing in the polls, which they most certainly are, you've gone to the party that is leading in the polls, and you've got shadow treasury spokesperson job.”
Jenrick gets angry, “I'm not gonna take any lessons from the man who said that Peter Mandelson was a class act, when he was appointed as our ambassador to Washington.

It would be really great if a few more friends on X completed this survey to help us with our research on political ideologies.

Dear friends on X.
Colleagues and I are pilot testing questionnaire measures of political ideology in preparation for a large social science project on the nature of mass belief systems. Our 15-minute pilot is ethically approved by Sheffield U.
Next post provides the link

It would be great if as many of you as possible try the survey. We want a range of political beliefs to carry out psychometric analyses.
The link is here: sheffieldpsychology.eu.qualt…
THANK YOU! I'll post more detailed explanation of the scales later.
PLEASE REPOST THIS
1. PLEASE REPOST TO GET GREATER COVERAGE.
Sheffield University researchers are seeking volunteers who are experiencing anxiety or depression, or who have been diagnosed with schizophrenia or a related condition, to take part in a study of how people form beliefs. Details below.

Oswald Mosley and Nigel Farage. The same story separated by 60 years.

Farage's girlfriend illegally funnelled £400,000 of EU grant funding to Farage's UKIP - I guess he owed her a favour

A reminder that Starmer did publish his.
#bbclaurak: Will you publish your own personal tax returns?
Nigel Farage(Reform MP): No

This!
As you look at the videos of proud ‘Reform Youth’ i am reminded that the people breaking my Jewish Osnabrück grandparents’ windows, writing offensive grafitti and shouting ‘Go to Palestine’ were all school students.
#reform are racists.

Farage could possibly sue me for insinuating the purchase of a house in Clacton was for money laundering purposes, but he won't because then he'd have to disclose the source of the funds.
Prof_Richard_Bentall_psychologist retweeted
Ethics committee please @HoCStandards.
I want to see clarity on his house buying, his GB News salary, his offshore accounts, a Reform membership audit, data collection and how it's used and fossil fuel funding.
NEW: Nigel Farage tells @BethRigby he "misspoke" last year when he told her: "I've bought a house in Clacton."
Says he should have said "we" then admits it was actually bought by his partner, who paid the standard rate of stamp duty.
