Today’s flower photo is a lovely bunch that a friend sent me, still looking pretty good two weeks later. I’m especially fond of the unusual dusky pink carnations with hints of green

In today’s episode of “Fix the forms, one at a time”, the best example I’ve seen so far acknowledging the reason for asking for gender.

Looking forward to seeing examples of “gender for our not-yet-updated computer system” in future

I am devastated to hear that migrant NHS staff who have risked their lives during the pandemic to keep us all safe have been DENIED a vaccine due to not having an NHS number. This is completely unacceptable and we won’t stand for it. RT if you agree. https://twitter.com/theda_uk/status/1352953410849533952

Our letter to @MattHancock today after hearing reports that #NHS staff are being denied the #covidvaccine because they don't have an NHS number.
