Campaign for Accountable Government

One of the things I am doing is campaigning to improve the accountability of government (the executive).

I have done quite a bit of studying of Constitutional Law recently and concluded that there is a mechanism to force ministers to answer some of the questions they refuse to answer.

A good example of failing to answer questions was the situation with the prisoners that should have been deported.

So far I have reported Five Ministers to the Cabinet Secretary for Breaching the Ministerial Code of Conduct and started a process of Judicial Review against one of those five on the basis that she has failed to answer a question properly.

Clearly this will go on for some time, but we really do need to improve the way in which ministers are held to account. Too often they refuse to answer questions.
Some MPs find Freedom of Information legislation a better mechanism for getting answers than Parliamentary Questions. I am running a few appeals through that process at the moment as well.

Trudiagnostic change PACE leaderboard algorithm - was in position 40, now position 44 - does it matter?

Trudiagnostic have changed the way they handle the Rejuvenation Olympics Leaderboard algorithm. The result of this initially was that I was globally no 40 and have now dropped to 44. Trudiagnostic are a US company that get samples of blood and they look at the DNA to see which parts of the DNA have methyl groups (CH3) attached to them. These modifications to DNA are called methylation markers. DunedinPACE is an algorithm which uses DNA methylation markers in white blood cells to work out how quickly or slowly someone is aging. I had three results on this. The odd thing about the results was that whilst my epigenetic age calculated from the same methylation markers was going down, the speed at which I was aging was going up. I find this somewhat counterintuitive. It is, however, I think relevant that in a global contest my approach on biochemistry which is quite different to many other people's does seem to keep up with others working in the same area. To that extent it...
