The app for independent voices

Hallo

Today I start using Substack

I used to like Twitter but always felt very constrained by the 144 limit

This brought problems for the irony-challenged, who misunderstood a lot of what I was trying to say

This is a particular problem for me because I seem to be regarded as ‘on the left’ by people on the right, and' ‘on the right’ by people on the left

Apparently this makes me controversial, and therefore box office poison

Contrary to what some in the far-right echo chamber have been saying this week, I have not been silenced. I’m right here folks. And I am ready to get started!

Umm I have found almost 1000 new readers in the last 24 hours and I’m very confused but incredibly touched too. I’ll do my best to explain what’s happening to the NHS, and will share my personal perspectives too. I worked as a doctor for ten years before giving up my medical career to fight for the NHS. It’s so important that everyone understands what’s happening x

You made it, you own it

You always own your intellectual property, mailing list, and subscriber payments. With full editorial control and no gatekeepers, you can do the work you most believe in.

The tech oligarchs and their AI are taking over. Let's fight back.

A reminder: Vladimir Putin could end the war in Ukraine right now, just by ordering his soldiers to go home. No need for treaties or negotiations.

Great discussions

Join the most interesting and insightful discussions.

I’ve read and analyzed every executive order signed by Trump since the inauguration, and painstakingly taken tons of notes and written a pretty okay article about it if I do say so myself. Please read it if you’re interested, my substack is and always will be 100% free, I just want to empower others with knowledge. I attempt to make some sense of loads of insanity. It’s out now.
