Great to see @dized covering the Band Aid story and using my article in The Conversation to inform the debate about the role of charity in society.

This is, surely, a plant piece that's been ghost written or incentivised by big pharma.

Where is the very obvious counter-argument or info about the mental health issues?

Huge Thank You to @rubberdoll82 who ran 18ml raising nearly £600 for Reprieve! Your efforts will make a huge difference to our work. Reminder that reaching the global abolition of the death penalty is a marathon, not a sprint, and with our supporters, we're going the distance🎖️!

As a fellow runner and Reprieve's head of media, I salute you! 18 steep miles on trails is a serious challenge. No doubt it will be incredibly satisfying to finish. Good luck.
Last few days to donate to my fundraiser for @Reprieve. Read about their political and legal work in the link. An amazing cause.

Journalists/producers - I have been asked to do a few media spots on Thurs night/Fri morning but still have a bit of availability. DM me or send an email if interested.

Have you received any fake newspapers through your door?
Delighted to contribute to @Bron_Maher's important piece on deceptive propaganda by the Tories and Lib Dems during the election campaign.
