What is the “NHS’s dirty little secret”?
The front page of Friday's Daily Telegraph raised an eyebrow. And then I noticed who the author of this piece was, Kate Andrews.
So what is this "dirty little secret"?
A thread.

Before I do that, let’s just take a quick look at the author of this piece.
Kate Andrews is:
- a US citizen
- Economics Editor for The Spectator
Neither of these are mentioned in the article.
You might have seen her in her numerous appearances on the BBC.

Kate Andrews used to be:
- Associate Director at the opaquely-funded, climate-change denying, NHS-abolishing think-thank, the Institute of Economic Affairs (IEA)
- Head of Comms at the highly-opaque, neoliberal think-thank the Adam Smith Institute
Again, not mentioned.

Over the past four months the world as we know it has changed beyond recognition.
The #coronavirus has upended diplomacy, a profession which involves lots of travel, physical meetings, and in-person interactions. 2/80

No more handshakes, hugs or accolades.
No more physical meetings, bilateral summits or multi-lateral gatherings. World leaders and diplomats had to adapt to work from home and have been thrust into virtual meetings. 3/80

How can we personalize protection of COVID-19 risk groups beyond age and existing conditions? New @NgaleHealth study identifies a blood biomarker score predicting risk of severe COVID-19, before contracting the virus

We measured blood biomarkers by @NgaleHealth metabolomics in >100,000 samples from @uk_biobank. Blood samples were collected 10 years ago, metabolomics data became available late-May. This initiative will lead to many papers - we started with COVID-19. Summary on what we found 👇
Various blood biomarkers have been linked with COVID-19 severity, but most studies use samples from already infected patients. For preventative screening we need pre-COVID-19 samples, lots of samples, to study enough people with severe COVID-19 vs many metabolic biomarkers.
On this day in 1948, the National Health Service came into existence thanks to a Labour government. They knew that wealth should not be a barrier to access to health and care. Our principles of fairness were put into practice once in power. (1/8)
Nye Bevan was the minister entrusted by Attlee to create the NHS. Bevan was 1 of 10 children – only 6 of whom survived into adulthood – born into a Welsh mining community at the end of the 19th century. He worked in the pit from the age of 13 and experienced real hardship. (2/8)
Bevan was inspired by the Tredegar Workmen’s Medical Aid Society, which insured local miners and steel workers: "All I am doing is extending to the entire population of Britain the benefits we had in Tredegar for a generation or more. We are going to Tredegar-ise you." (3/8)
I’ve been using my daily bike ride to swing past friend’s homes & capture moments on their doorsteps and ask what love means to them in this time.
Annie is loving having time to look after herself better. “And this doorstep. I’ve been here 30 years”

I cycled past Louie but I doubled back as he looked so chilled.
“What’s the thing you love most about isolation?”
“The sunshine.”
Even inside our hearts are outside.

Never even knew so many people lived on my street. People out in force clapping, whistling and shouting “NHS NHS”. I can even hear people banging pots. #solidarity #ClapForCarers #ThankYouNHS #londonlockdown
Medic family and friends responded very emotionally to all the cheering and support. We mustn’t forget them in the days ahead. #ThankYouNHS
