quite glad that the world is catching up with the claims of join_zoe (see me and Deborah Cohen last year unherd.com/2023/10/we-nee…). There is a whole other story about whose voices get heard by editors /commissioners, and whose don't.

I’m so glad Jürgen is a red…the final time we’ll hear this at Anfield

That was a particularly emotional rendition of You’ll Never Walk Alone for Jürgen Klopp’s last game as Liverpool manager. There’s barely a dry eye in the stadium. Am privileged to be here to say goodbye to an all round fantastic human.

Sun’s shining, beer’s flowing, live music blaring…any excuse to party. My home town knows how to give a Klopp a farewell to remember #LFC

Thanks Faisal Islam for a great day out at the women’s cup final. All going swimmingly at the United end 😬 until my 6 year old niece announces to everyone she supports Liverpool. Proud aunty…But well played #mufc by far the better team

'... was “not supported by scientific evidence”, while in Canada it is described as “offering ‘false hope”; and across various medical journals, academics suggest its use and promotion is ethically questionable.' | Margaret McCartney | Deborah Cohen buff.ly/3y9bWcl

Anyone one else in London squinting at streetlights so they don’t feel that they’re missing out on the Northern Lights?

Important read.

Fantastic reporting

Great piece. Well done to Margaret McCartney and Deborah Cohen for speaking up about the false hope being sold by the Bredesen Protocol that it 'reverses' Alzheimer's. People don't realise the damage that's caused by such claims.
No surprise about the GMC.

Massively important article from Deborah Cohen and Margaret McCartney on poor clinical practices and exploitation of hope - crucial fundamental points around the use of evidence and reporting biases

The two best journalists in medicine - exposing quackery left right and centre. Keep up the good work.

Lack of effective regulation around highly priced but ineffective interventions for people with cognitive issues is deeply troubling.
