I suspect the MPs who wrote the motion are well aware of this possibility (probability? certainty?) and that it informed their decision not to be...
Lots of MPs leave Westminster early on Thursdays, because there usually isn't any 'important' (ie Government) business to debate on Thursday...
I think there's a much more important point than that to be made. Valerie's intent in bringing up this video - and talking it about it at length...
I'm trying to resist the temptation to get involved with this discussion until I've read Valerie's third blog. I have many points of disagreement...
I'm absolutely certain you're right - I think it's highly likely that Brexit will be the only subject raised at PMQs tomorrow. However Carol is...
I'm not on Twitter, but anyone who is can feel free to pass this suggestion along to Carol: "Seventeen years ago this month the Chief Medical...
Towards the end of his presentation at the recent OMF symposium Phair said that they'd already started testing the hypothesis and showed the early...
I was on venlafaxine for a lengthy period over a decade ago. It wasn't a positive experience. When I first started taking it I seemed to...
I agree with you - but from Dr Shepherd's statement it appears that he felt that as a full member he might still need to recuse himself from some...
From the committee appointments that've been made public so far, the BPS advocates *don't* have a majority. They've got eight positions out of 17...

I made myself listen too. Even by the Guardian's usual standards of ME/CFS coverage, this was an appallingly one-sided piece of reportage (I...
As I have already said upthread, I don't want to sound as though I'm suggesting we should be complacent about the biased members of the panel -...
In addition to this, it would be counterproductive for NICE to deviate too far from their established processes given the controversies that...
I understand your frustration, but I don't think it's fair to say the process is 'completely opaque'. NICE have a published policy on...
I think it was also a way for them to ensure that whatever happens now, their narrative is likely to be the one that gets reported. If Cochrane...
Asked and answered. :)
How many of the 2007 committee members had a BPS perspective? Obviously Crawley, Bavington and Santhouse do, and I'm guessing that Amanda...
You're absolutely right - they will accuse us of it no matter what we say. But I think @Esther12 is saying "Let's not make their job easier by...
Good luck @Keela Too and thanks very much for taking this responsibility on. I'm really glad that you and @adambeyoncelowe have been accepted...
