It's been difficult to keep this properly under wraps but I can now finally talk about this! Today Dott bikes have launched a new cycle hire scheme in Newcastle - providing residents a proper alternative to car use within the City. We have taken learnings from previous schemes (eNeuron and Mobike)

It was an honour and a privilege to be welcomed to Crossroads Women's Centre in Kentish Town and meet with women who have been fighting for change for so many years. The work women do is too often ignored and devalued - I gave my promise that as MP here I'll stand with them.

I’m struck by the similarities with writer Ed Yong: he was inundated with personal stories when he started researching/writing about Long Covid. Just hearing so many patients’ experiences & learning about their real suffering was difficult—he had to step back from doing that work for a while.

Thank you so very much for this piece. It’s devastating in itself, but the modern “oubliette” of denial compounds the destruction of life, especially when family with medical backgrounds share the old false and destructive hypothesis. When medical gaslighting literally comes home to roost.

(3/3) There is no competition over who is more ill, but a brief crash only glimpses what severe illness is like over the longer term as it wages a war of attrition on your health. Bonus test points if the mind could be simulated to believe years have passed with no end in sight, just like real life.

(2/3) For a true test, that day should not be the first day into it, but a single day from years into it, when your mind and body have already atrophied and your reserves are relentlessly scraping the bottom of the barrel without respite as the illness pervades everything with endless complications.

(1/3) I would not repeat years of very severe #MECFS again for billions of dollars. Not just because of the ongoing difficulties, but also the risk of not surviving. Just one single day would wipe the smug and doubt off the faces of those who disbelieve. Just one single day, but there is a catch.

I don't have the words to express how appalled I am by this. And to see his supporters cheering him on? I feel sick to my stomach. After Brexit, my biggest fear was the rise of racism. The inciteful language and actions of Farage and the Far Right, legitimised by mainstream media has led to this.

Danny Tommo has been filmed slashing a dinghy in the channel containing migrants and a rescue worker on board. There is no mention of this on the BBC news website at all as far as I can see. Yet when he and his thugs turn up in masks it's all "Legitimate protestors show ankle in Dover".
