This is a really good article about the research they are doing. It's about old age, but I think many here would recognize a lot of it. https://theconversation.com/loneliness-loss-and-regret-what-getting-old-really-feels-like-new-study-157731?utm_source=twitter&utm_medium=bylinetwitterbutton

Jonathan, thanks for all your work with these journalists.

It is just my interpretation. It's based on the people involved and especially Tracey Brown who had very close ties with Michael Hanlon and was in my view the prime mover behind the Sunday Times article about harassment. They refused to support Alem Matthees and they have also previously broken...

I think these lines by SAS are fascinating. My own interpretation is as follows, given their political and sociological views: 1. Support for current model now untenable given criticism of obvious scientific flaws by people whom they would normally look to as allies. Role of Trevor Butterworth...

Knowing how thorough Tom is, I wouldn't be surprised if he has indeed read the 2011 paper.

I did actually start to poke around in this with FOIs. I'll dig them out in next couple of days.

He was scornful of Chalder's response.

It is good, I think. He is very sympathetic. He also has a very good reputation as a science writer for coverage of crap studies. It's interesting it's in UnHerd as it's a bit 'contrarian' and a lot of readers will instinctively be inclined to Spike crowd. Though not Tom, I should add. It is...

I think he's going to say that it came after 'patient pressure' and the 'The strong message from stakeholders' is enough of a source for him to justify it. Thanks again Andy and Sarah.

Thanks. That helps with the history.

Good point.

That's great. Thanks, Andy. I've passed that on nd that seems to answer his question.

TC is just checking a fact about the timeline for the guidelines. Any quick help appreciated. Links if possible to support. Why was there a review started in 2017? Am I right in saying 2007 committee reported. Same committee reviewed in 2010 said all is well. Patients called for new review...

This tweet by Phil Hammond needs to be seen alongside the one by Sharpe and the admission of harm by Goddard. For over 30 years we have been told that GET is not exercise, that it succeeds through incremental increases and that there is no evidence of harm. They're clueless. It's a complete...

Not sure if this has been pasted elsewhere, but letter in The Times (London) this morning:

It seems to have been deleted.
