At least 20 unnecessary mastectomies - hundreds of women harmed,
and now a further 4500 medical records to be re-opened.
It’s a huge scandal.
Watch the full story tomorrow night at 7 on BBC2

Bill Bryson fell for Durham, and it’s easy to see why! That view from the train station is something special.

Labour wanted to tell the country it can ‘hope again’.
Radio silence on the crisis in NHS dentistry gives little hope to a demoralised profession or the millions struggling to access care.
Good vibes & nice soundbites are no substitute for urgent action & sustainable funding.

Bruce Springsteen’s Long Journey Home — Eric Cortellessa, TIME
I often share Bruce’s performances here. This beautiful profile brings us closer to the man: his father, Nebraska, Patti, his children… and the long road to building a life beyond music.
Even after forty years of listening to him, there are still words that touch me in new ways.
Take the time to read it. The article is free to read on TIME.

A new entrance at King’s Cross St Pancras Underground station provides step-free access from the south side of Euston Road for the first time. Funded by developer Precis Advisory, it includes a new lift and offers a more direct route for passengers who need step-free access.

Some of the worlds’ biggest music artists and actors turned out in force for Head and Neck Cancer in Australia. The concert last night was a tribute to John Farnham and to raise awareness of Head and Neck Cancer. John Farnham is well known for his 1986 hit You’re the Voice. abc.net.au/news/2026-09-20/j… #awareness

Pleased to meet with new dental Minister @JamesFrith MP, alongside @theBDA’s @EddieCrouch and @martinwoodrow69
I’ve worked for 40 years on the frontline in NHS dentistry.
I believe it’s a service worth saving.
We’ve agreed to work together to achieve that.

“Before the last election Labour told us the cavalry was coming," warns @ShivPabary
"The longer this profession is left to wait, the less of a service there will be left to save.”

Most weeks we see cases that spell out the tangible risks of dental tourism - but few have been this extreme.
What we’ve not seen is a proportionate response from watchdogs and regulators.
“Almost every UK dentist is seeing the results of dental tourism, but this case is one of the most horrifying reminders we’ve seen," warns @EddieCrouch.
It is vital patients understand the risks.

We need to sell more tickets to raise more money for Parky’s 24hr care. Where are all the local businesses who claim to support charity + Boro ? Why no coverage from local tv + radio station’s ? Why has the club website not plugged it ? Surely Parky deserves our support ?

Getting an NHS dentist in England now 'almost impossible', @NuffieldTrust analysis shows, as patient and dentist give their sides as part of special report

🦷 “This report confirms what patients have been telling us for five years: NHS dentistry is being allowed to wither away. One in ten practices gone, entire communities left without care, children in pain, adults living with infection and the real risk of undiagnosed mouth cancer.
The government now faces a clear choice. Deliver a properly funded, reformed contract that brings practices back and makes prevention a core NHS function – or accept that it has abandoned the principle of universal care.
Every further month of delay is another month of preventable harm.” — Mark Jones, founder of Toothless in England.

“What we’re seeing here is the direct result of choices made by successive governments," says @ShivPabary
"A new team at the Dept of Health need to grasp that if they fail to fix and fund NHS dentistry, dentists will have no choice but to walk away.”
