The quoted text reads: "I joined NICE’s Highly Specialised Technologies Evaluation Committee because I was keen to use my skills to have a direct and, hopefully positive, impact on the NHS. During my time, the experience has been both challenging and energising. As a committee, we regularly find ourselves wrestling with difficult scientific, ethical, and practical considerations, working collectively to reach consensus decisions that can genuinely move the needle forward for patients with ultra-rare conditions."

Yet now, Cadbury won't even use the word 'Easter' on their eggs. When did celebrating British traditions become controversial? Above a photo of Easter Eggs

GB News seems to have become Reform TV—and Ofcom hasn’t stopped it Whether they are charged with keeping our news impartial, our water clean or our elections fair, Britain’s regulators are dozing

If (as Andrew Neil says) GB News has become Reform TV then maybe there’s a case for the @ElectoralCommUK to start taking an interest app.prospectmagazine.co.uk/story/72784/...

It’s amazing how quickly Black women have been targeted by these laws and doubly so how little this factors into the analysis around the sexual and gender politics of this movement.

I enjoyed it too. And agreed with it 100%.

Is it me or is there something a bit Karloff-like about the facial features of this creature?? Can’t help feeling there’s more than a nod to the 1931 classic here… overall, a fabulous interpretation. I’d expected no less given del Toro’s brilliant back catalogue, but I enjoyed this a lot.

The narrative is beautifully constructed in this version - as a fan of the narrative structure of the novel, I love that del Toro made it this way… We get Victor’s version, and the Creature’s version - and the confessional at the end. It’s wonderful.

Some of the visuals are stunning. But some of the CGI is not great and took me out of the story (particularly at the beginning). The last act is brilliant though.

Watching Guillermo Del Toro’s Frankenstein. Makes me think so much about the book. Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley was 21 when it was published. 21! It’s remarkable.
