Standing outside Labour Conference today, it struck me how many people inside are completely unaware that families are being torn apart by these policies. They'll enjoy their day at the conference, then go home to their families. Meanwhile, thousands of people can't live here in the UK as a family

The super-rich rightwing are pouring money into Reform. Do ordinary voters really think their aim is to even out social inequality and make their lives better? Do they think they’re doing it so Farage invests in infrastructure and public services? Ffs. Democracy being beaten to death in plain sight.

Last Christmas, you gave us first class: Royal Mail turns Scrooge with gift to staff of second-class stamps
Switch comes amid first festive season since Daniel Křetínský’s takeover of parent company IDS Royal Mail says that it has “delivered Christmas” for more than 500 years, but this year many workers have been left feeling less than festive after the company downgraded a small gift to workers to second class. The postal service, which traces its history back to the appointment of a “master of the posts” by Henry VIII in 1516, has given workers a collection of 50 Christmas stamps to recognise their work over the busiest time of year. In previous years, including in 2024, workers have received a book of 50 or 100 first-class stamps, but that has quietly been switched to second class this year. Continue reading...

“I don’t see this as speculative. It is a modeling exercise, but it’s based on good numbers,” says Jeffrey Griffiths, professor of public health and community medicine at Tufts University… “The big point is that measles is very likely to become endemic quickly if we continue in this way.”

A new study forecasts more than 850,000 measles cases over the next 25 years if US vaccination rates stay the same. Millions of infections are possible if rates drop.
