NEW: I’m not sure people fully appreciate how dire the US life expectancy / mortality situation has got. My column: enterprise-sharing.ft.com/re… And some utterly damning charts. 1) at *every* point on the income distribution, Americans live shorter lives than the English.

Netanyahu is passing a pile of laws that screw secular Israelis, from banning "chametz" in hospitals to legalizing ultra-Orthodox draft evasion. In 🤳Netanyahu&Mrs enjoy ultra-treif Shabbat meal @GordonRamsey199's The River Restaurant, on the public shekel

Israel is in turmoil. A struggle over its identity has become polarised. Moderate Israelis must resist Binyamin Netanyahu’s power grab—and prevent him from breaking the country econ.st/3ToGAp2

שמעתי שעיתונאים יהודים מתלוננים על היחס העוין שמקבלים בקטאר. מציע לכם להתלוות רק ליום אחד לעיתונאי ערבי פה בארץ, לא בחו״ל.

כל מי שמסתובב במדינות ערב יודע שהתגובות כלפי ישראלים לעתים קרובות מבאסות ועוד יותר מבאס כשצריך להסתיר את הזהות הישראלית. כשהיחס אליך במדינות ערב כישראלי ידידותי ומאיר פנים זה מאוד משמח. אבל העלבון כעת של מי שנתקלים בתגובות לא נעימות בקטאר והציפייה שישכחו את הסכסוך והכיבוש מביכים

I was with a photographer who rang his energy company in despair as his bill was going from £3k to £5k. “I asked why it wasn’t capped at £2500 like we’d been told”. This is why the govt trotting out the £2500 figure is misleading. The cap is per UNIT of energy NOT per bill.

📣Today is International Snakebite Awareness Day! ➡️Despite snakebite envenoming being both preventable and largely treatable, it continues to claim thousands of lives every year and lacks the attention required to make lasting prevention commitments. #snakebiteday22 #ISBAD

As we conclude our pilot school snakebite program, we are nothing short of grateful for the partnership between Kajiado County department of health, support of @HAImedicines & co-operation of the school administration for making this timely and life changing program a reality.
