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

The Nazis came for the disabled first. They tested gas chambers on us. They deemed us “useless eaters”. They had propaganda convincing people we were expendable. They got many of these ideas from the US. Eugenics is not new. Disability solidarity is needed to fight fascism.

Long Covid SOS @longcovidsos.bsky.social · 06/09/2026
Yet another wave of COVID and prevention still isn’t being taken seriously. Until prevention is properly prioritised, we have to take responsibility for our own risk reduction. That means continuing with the practical precautions we know work, even if those around us have stopped taking them.
Infographic from Long Covid SOS titled “THE ONLY WAY TO PREVENT LONG COVID IS TO AVOID COVID”. It lists five ways to reduce the risk of catching and spreading Covid: 
Mask icon and text “Wear the best mask you can. Wearing a good mask like an N95 or better when in public will give you the best protection”
Home icon and text “Stay home and isolate if ill. If you feel unwell isolate yourself from others until you are feeling better and testing negative”
Unwell icon and text “Test if you have symptoms Symptoms of Covid? Isolate and test. Repeat test while symptomatic and mask around others”
Ventilation icon and text “Ventilate or meet outside. Clean air is the best way to prevent spreading and catching Covid so make sure fresh air is circulating”
Long Covid still has no cure
Medical icon and text “There is no cure for Long Covid so the best way to avoid it is to take steps to avoid catching Covid”
The graphic uses teal panels with white text and orange-and-white circular icons. Long Covid SOS branding appears at the bottom right and contact information FOR MORE INFORMATION OR HELP WITH LONG COVID PLEASE VISIT OUR WEBSITE WWW.LONGCOVIDSOS.ORG on left.

So, all those Reform voters filmed attempting to tear a protestor limb from limb will be arrested for assault, yeah? It was only security personnel that prevented it from actually being a lynching of a woman for all the world to see. The mask is off. If Burnham doesn't make an example, his is too.

PIP needs to be reformed. It needs to be at least £300-400 a month MORE generous to reflect the £1095 of average costs a disabled person faces each month. We need to humanise the application process. End treating people like frauds until proven innocent. End assessors LYING in their reports.

They defend fascists rioting in the streets. They are dangerous both in who they harass and abuse and who they choose to defend

Let’s be clear here, when scientists say mistakes were made at the start of the pandemic, we DO NOT mean that we did too much. We mean not socially distancing quickly enough, not making tests widely available, and not acknowledging COVID is airborne and distributing N95 masks to everyone.

This feels like it got buried amid all of the mounting allegations around Reform and Farage's funding. Farage leases property that he owns, to his own company, at exactly £10,000/year. That's a penny under the "over £10,000" rental-income declaration threshold. What is he trying to hide?
