...... morecambe bay and wakefield have been neck and neck for a while .
....... colchester was an early leader but falling back now .
...... areas around cardiff have put on a spurt overnight.
...... snowdonia and north norfolk coast appear to have no internet signal.. can someone send a donkey ? oh wait ... you ARE a donkey lol.
Isn't Snowdonia called Eryri now? 
Paisley & Renfrewshire South - Do you live in this constituency?
Ilford South - Do you live in this constituency?
Yay! beyond 5,000 now. Keep going everyone!
Remarkably few in my area Tyne and Wear where the big ‘troublemaker’ practices. Perhaps we are utterly cowed by his presence.
Montgomeryshire seem to be doing pretty well with 11 of us having signed here which makes me quite pleased!
I seem to have had more success in Shropshire where my colleagues are than in Herefordshire where my family are…. Come on little shire hobbitses we can do better 🤣🙏
Could this map be used in a different way to see where hotspots of thyroid disease may be located and then researched to see if environmental issues or medical interventions for various conditions are being used to name but a few as such an interactive map is invaluable.
Seems like a potentially good idea. Until you take into account that probably quite a few voters are friends/relatives of someone with thyroid issues, and don't have thyroid issues themselves. So for example, if there are twenty votes in an area, it's unlikely all twenty have thyroid issues.
You are absolutely correct, I didn't think of that. The idea is good though if a researcher could utilise the mapping software it could be very interesting if used in a survey to find where people actually lived with a Thyroid condition rather than a petition.
The prescribing data available via openprescribing.net/ is likely a much better source to use!
For example, levothyroxine sodium prescribing by CCG/ICB/ICS:
openprescribing.net/chemica...
However, in order to map that, you need to find a suitable geographical database of where CCGs are and the areas they cover. And to really make sense, the populations - preferably at the very least divided into adults and children.
All of that might be readily available - I simply do not know.
It would be a minefield if doing the research as GP's used to prescribe at different levels, mine started me on Levothyroxine at a TSH of 7.61 and only one reading not two taken months apart, have always been suspicious that I never needed treatment although my TPO was 539.6. And never checked since.

Although the image I have posted is quite large, if you print it, you can probably make it much smaller and it will still work. You might just need to have the camera closer to the QR code.
For many of us, pointing our mobile phone camera at a QR code is an easy way of using web link.
Feel free to copy this code and paste it into any flyer or poster you might produce. Or add to any web pages you produce you make. And always print the actual link beside the QR code so everyone can see where it is supposed to take them.
Paisley and Renfrewshire South still have no votes apparently!
Neither does Ilford South!

Does ANYONE live in Ilford South constituency?
Seems incredible that while some constituencies have 29 signatures - they still haven't got started.
Of course, wherever you are in the UK, please sign and keep passing it on, posting, etc.
Was looking unlikely to get the required number a couple of weeks ago, but looks far more hopeful today. Let’s have another big push….
It does look better - 9626 just a moment ago.
