Amoxicillin is a generic antibiotic that can treat Strep A, which has killed 16 kids. Big pharma has jacked the price up from 80p to £18, blaming 'complicated supply chains'.

What is Heisenberg's Uncertainty Principle, how does it work, and what does it mean? Is it really a quantum principle or is not just fourier transforms? I'll sort it out for you.

The mass closures of bank branches is having a devastating impact on communities.

Govt throws gifts at banks and all we get is branch closures which turn districts, villages and town centred into economic deserts.

Arman Shuraev, a public figure and professional journalist from Kazakhstan, replied to arrogant speech and threats of Russian ambassador in Kazakhstan, Borodavkin.

Russia is losing its influence among its neighbors and is rightly viewed as a threat.

Rishi Sunak posing this winter of strikes as ‘ordinary people’ v ‘union bosses’ in his pool interview with @PGMcNamara today - but if hundreds of thousands of people are going on strike are they not ‘ordinary people’?

Sunak will force the army to work over Christmas rather than give reasonable pay to public service workers 🤬

Its time MPs wages were slashed in line with everbody else's.

The fact that practically the entire country is on strike, and that there are over 2 million people in the UK who are freezing inside their homes because they can't afford the heating is a shameful indictment of this government. It's a total political failure.

This afternoon, thousands of postal workers descended on Parliament square.

Rishi Sunak wants to pit strikers and the general public against each other.

Today’s enormous demonstration sends a clear message: striking workers *are* the general public. Ignore them at your peril.

Have a huge amount of sympathy for GPs but having spent most of the day dealing with what should be a very simple issue, can see why people get frustrated/ angry. Its also easy to see how division of labour & getting it wrong first time (& subsequently) doesnt help workloads😬

The government's answer to my written question, prompted by a frustrated would-be battery storage company.

It's an answer, but not what you'd call taking ownership.
