Mental health seemed to have been largely forgotten again in all the NHS celebrations. Time to refight a fight we thought was being won
So on the 75th anniversary of the founding of the NHS, what better way to spend it than by being part of a graduation ceremony in which several hundred medical students won the right to put the letters "Dr" before their name; and later, by making a speech on mental...

Tree of the Day. Islington. It wins partly because it is a nice urban tree on a very busy road. But also because of the surroundings. Those splendid black phone boxes to the left of the trunk. But also the splendid graffiti 💨 🧘♂️ on the black box between the parking sign and the bike on the right side of the trunk.

Having a very Slovenian day. Lunch hosted by Simona the ambassador @slovenia for a group of her ambassadorial colleagues. What a view both sides of the official residence. Now off to talk to @slavojzizeks for the podcast. “Try to get a word in” was her advice about her fellow Slovenian, the Marxist philosopher

Tree of the Day (not for the first time, but for a very sad reason.) You have to be very sick or a truly awful human being to want to chop this down. So sad. This tree has given so much pleasure to so many people. Tree of the Day RIP

Very clever @nickwattonthebox to get me along on the basis you would find me a couple of Tree of the Day contenders. The one behind you wins! Runner up behind me. It was for a profile of Sunak ahead of Tory conference. Apparently I am the “anti-voice.” Can’t wait to see who is the pro-voice? Viva SevenBins #NoToTheMeatTax

One should never miss an opportunity to post this picture of @rorystewartuk - and today on @restispolitics we talk about his friend King Charles’ state visit to France; but first up exclusive polling showing the election is still all to play for; then why both Rory and I were angered by Sunak climate speech (populist polarising post-truthery); we talk about the risk to Ukraine from the upcoming Polish elections; the geopolitical games being played in Nagorno-Karabakh; and a bit of unexpected dream analysis!
