Dear @NOWTV_It Could you please let me know why you stop showing the last 10 overs of CWC 2023 matches? This is the second time its happened with me and it beats the very purpose of the subscription charges we play.

BRIXTON/LONDON 📣
I found this picture by Jebb Avenue/Brixton Prison bus stop. Must've slipped out of a wallet. It looks very precious and I imagine whoever lost it on their travels will be devastated.
Can we do that thing? Retweet, share, reunite owner and photograph?

As part of the ongoing response to #poliovirus detected in London sewage, the JCVI has advised that all children in #London aged 1-9 should get a polio vaccine now.
The NHS will contact parents when it's time for their child's polio booster or catch-up vaccination

New Guardian column theguardian.com/commentisfre…
More evidence about how online misinformation impacted the work of UK's HCW around COVID-19. Another reason why health misinformation needs to be integrated more into the public health agenda than only being treated as an AI, tech or social media problem.
So pleased our new @RREALwork paper on the experiences of healthcare workers with the UK #COVID19 #vaccination programme has been published in @BMJ_Open bmjopen.bmj.com/content/12/2…… @annadowrick @SJVanders @CeciliaVindrola @H_S_Global @HPforGH @UCL_PCPH @UCLGlobalHealth #vaccines

In my Iatest for @nytimes, I talked to the people impacted by ivermectin misinformation: ranchers, farmers and vets, who’ve been forced to ration their supplies of the animal drug or can’t get it at all. As @KolinaKoltai put it: “It’s affecting horses.” nytimes.com/2021/09/28/techn…
