Right - only thing I intend to say about GB News...

... it’s a walking midlife crisis. It’s a bunch of rich privileged media insiders buying a leather jacket and a £££ bike, running away, calling themselves “the outsiders” and then not knowing how to work the damn bike.
Exhibit B:

OK, @Dominic2306 -

That doesn’t matter. We really need to talk about data “anonymisation”.

It is not water-tight at all and re-identification is very easy especially with health data (when combined with other datasets). This is a huge issue that needs to be discussed publicly.
Re-identification is a fascinating field, where it becomes increasingly easy with more and more publicly available online data about people.

Here’s a fun example about “anonymous DNA” (individuals) re-identification just using publicly available data.

Furthermore, when holding vast databases on health (or any other personal) data for time... you have to ask what it is being used for.

Eg if you had NHS database for Covid, you could analyse it for another disease, develop algorithms, then pitch for contract on that.

I’ll freely admit:

🇺🇸 I have been surprised at how bold & imaginative Joe Biden has been since coming to power as leader of the free world.

and...

🇬🇧 🌹I have been surprised at how timid & unimaginative Keir Starmer has been since coming to power as leader of the Labour Party.
Incidentally, I agonised over that tweet.

This time last year I was tweeting “#BeerForKeir”. As the months went on, I thought he was doing a great job.

By autumn 2020 I was getting very concerned that LOTO was insular - and they clearly had no policy engines running.
There was no gear-shift from the initial rebrand - where Keir alone was lifting the polling of the party - to one where you were on the front foot...

...with a boss front bench and bold new policies/ suggestions gazumping what the Tories were coming out with.

So David Davis's Brexit strategy appears to rest entirely on regulation in R&D - incidentally, the sector that was most vocally and overwhelmingly *against* Brexit in 2016.

- and which has been hurt hugely by Brexit.

Next time listen to the scientists, @DavidDavisMP.
And I have a nice little anecdote on this topic.

*After* the Brexit vote, itwas well known that David Davis was trying to go round scientists and innovators to get their input on what were the *opportunities* of Brexit in their area. AFTER the Brexit vote. Well...
... lots of people were trying to tell him the problems and he wasn't listening to that. He just wanted "opportunities". No-one could think of any.

One famous entrepreneur told me that Davis wanted to visit him - and he turned him down. Why?...

Where is Nigel Farage? The British fishing industry is collapsing and Nigel has run away.

And this interview with an oysterman whose exports to the EU have been trashed by Brexit red tape (we went through his paperwork with him):
