Where do I spend my Saturday afternoons? My local library. As well as a supportive environment for reading, books & knowledge, they are places that give the community a warm place in the winter and even hot drinks for those that need it. Libraries really are pillars of our local communities. I used to visit my local East Ham library as a child with my dad each weekend and it gave me the confidence to be who I am. I was the UK libraries champion for @CILIPinfo (previously Mary Beard & Stephen Fry) and currently charity ambassador for @readingagency. #librarylife #libraries #books #bookworm #storytime #community #winter

Hospital league tables are nasty, simplistic, retrograde & counterproductive. They will demoralise staff, generate cultures of fear & fail to value all that is unquantifiable in healthcare - kindness, compassion, humanity, discretionary effort. My piece: theguardian.com/commentisfre…

That speech Michelle Obama just gave was one of the best of this entire cycle. She is unbelievable. Here’s how she brought it home.

Slightly shy about posting this. But I took on Sir Jonathan Bate in the Scotsman this week. I love some of his critical writing, but he’s wrong when he says that state school students have lost the ability to read long books. They just need adaptable, realistic curricula.

Famous anatomist Andreas Vesalius dies on this day, 15 October, in 1564, and that makes today #WorldAnatomyDay. To celebrate, here's a 17th century anatomical flap diagram from the RCP Heritage Library, recently digitised and now brought to life. history.rcp.ac.uk/blog/exact…

Don’t care where Angela Rayner stayed during her holidays. What’s being done to fix the NHS, Schools, Universities, Railways? Ffs British media. Get your act together.
