Day in and day out, I see the tragic human fallout from our lackadaisical attitude towards cannabis. I work in a specialist service for people with emerging severe mental illness and most of my patients have experienced psychosis. The vast majority of them have used cannabis, and their lives have been shattered by this dreadful drug.

Junior doctors are threatening to strike again. So what, you might say? When are they not threatening a walk-out? In the past two years, they have taken industrial action 11 times. This makes me really angry. My medical union, the British Medical Association (BMA), is squandering public respect for doctors, mangling facts and pursuing Left-wing crusades with no regard for the cost to the health service.

I had no idea. This is the response I hear time and time again from family when they are told that a relative or partner is taking ketamine. I work in a service for patients who have emerging severe mental illness and many of them have used drugs such as ketamine which has triggered psychosis or other serious mental health problems. In A&E, I have frequently seen young people brought in having taken too much of the drug and fallen unconscious.

You might imagine that having reached the pinnacle of your career, you’d be satisfied. A life of plaudits and comfort awaits you. Surely now you are happy with your lot. But so often this isn’t what happens. Sir Bradley Wiggins won Olympic gold medals on the track at the Athens, Beijing and Rio de Janeiro Games, and also won the road time trial at London 2012, two weeks after becoming the first British rider to win the Tour de France.

There will be a good few I am sure, who, hearing about the alleged rift in the Beckham household, will be able to sympathise with David and Victoria. Family fallings out are horrible but also common. In fact, research by charity Stand Alone found that one in five families in the UK will be affected by estrangement at some point. The Beckhams are said to have been left ‘heartbroken’ by a rumoured estrangement from their eldest son, Brooklyn, and his wife of three years, Nicola Peltz.
