Wonder when covid reality will break through? It was decades for HIV/AIDS. So 2050? #CovidIsNotOver #WearAMask #LongCovid This is not normal. Dorset boy aged 6 among rising number of young people suffering strokes www.itv.com/news/meridia... x.com/MrMatthewTod...

Covid increases the risk of strokes and young people, like everyone else, are being left to catch it over and over and over again.

This could be one of the biggest scandals in modern history.

Here's today's column on the astonishing, ongoing mistreatment of people with #ME/CFS. Please spread it far and wide: the only thing which can break the media's wall of indifference is seeing an article about the issue go viral. Thank you. 1/2 www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Abandoned, dismissed and gaslighted: there is no excuse for the way ME sufferers have been betrayed | George Monbiot

Changes in guidance and science seem to have little impact on millions of devastated lives. It’s a social crisis playing out behind closed doors, says Guardian columnist George Monbiot

Pope Innocent III,who died in 1216, spoke of a certain kind of older man, who is "easily provoked", "will believe anything and question nothing", is "stingy and greedy" and "praises the good old days and hates the present." Reform UK's voter base has been knocking around for a very long time.

I said in Instagram that Israel said they had already planned similar pager attacks all over the world and that may be why leaders are cautious about what action to take. Someone had a go at me for 'speculating'. I just joined the dots. It's not that hard. x.com/ivgiz/status...

Andy Burnham at the UN, speaking on Israel/Palestine. 2.2K replies. Afaik, I'm the only one to say this. That it was a clever speech, he said one thing and meant another. A few people picked up on the pat phrases leaders always start with. Only took 3 years. www.instagram.com/reel/DdnhhPo...

Isr freaks out at the slightest thing. He started with statements they need to hear to calm them down. Then he firmly criticised them and told them to stop because the way they’re going, they’ll end up with nothing.
Quite a clever speech. Isr media will report it verbatim, they won’t interpret. Isr govt will be appeased because he said what they need to hear. They’re already hysterical and unable to think straight, they won’t get what he meant.
He warned about falling trust in politics. I presume we’re “the enemy”. He’s saying no one will be able to stop us. I think that’s right. Ed Miliband just said protests work.

Always. Zero tolerance for anyone conflating 'Jew' and 'Zionist'. And zero tolerance for pretending there's only one antisemitism. There are two! I've posted about it often enough. (The dodgy one is called 'new antisemitism'. There's a Wikipedia page about it). x.com/richards1052...

I am an anti Zionist Jew. It is incredibly damaging when anyone uses the term "Jew"when they're actually referring to a "Zionist." This conflation is common both with Jewish Zionists *and* anti-Semites. Pls oppose this &/or block anyone doing it.

Nearly 1.7 million Palestinians are now spending a second or third year in unsafe, makeshift shelters because Israel and the United States continue to block mobile homes, or caravans, from entering Gaza, leaving units that have been lined up on the Egyptian side of the border outside the Strip for more than a year unable to enter.

Children in Gaza are dying from falling into flooded wells. People are being battered in tattered tents by hail force winds and rain. But Israel continues to block thousands of mobile homes from entering Gaza.

Expansion of the UK's longstanding support for Saudi Arabia risks escalating the regional conflict - meaning more bloodshed, and making life less affordable at home as costs soar. This Government should be seeking to cut the cost of living, not fuelling wars abroad.

US virtual embassy in Iran issues alert urging citizens to leave country

The US virtual embassy in Iran has issued a security alert warning all citizens not to travel to Iran “for any reason” and to leave the country.

In a statement posted to its website, the embassy said that “Iranian-supported Houthis have engaged in hostilities against Saudi Arabia, including civilian airports. This military conflict has the potential to escalate rapidly”.
