Microplastics have been found in human placentas, Antarctica and clouds. The planetary boundary we've smashed through the hardest - novel entities. Plastics, pills and pesticides, we've been poisoning the planet and ourselves with a cocktail of synthetic chemicals for decades.

New short overview piece with links "What is myalgic encephalomyelitis?" by @thesicktimes.bsky.social & @longcovidjustice.bsky.social ( @mileswgriffis.bsky.social , @betsyladyzhets.bsky.social & @sunsopeningband.bsky.social ) longcovidjustice.org/what-is-me/ #MyalgicEncephalomyelitis #PwME
What is myalgic encephalomyelitis?
from LONG COVID ESSENTIALS
a resources series by The Sick Times x Long COVID Justice

Myalgic encephalomyelitis
Myalgic encephalomyelitis (ME)*, is an umbrella term for a debilitating, multi-systemic disease often triggered by an infection. It can range in severity from mild to very severe and cause people to be home-bound or fully bed-bound. The disease is life-changing, even when mild.

Yesterday Zack Polanski called on the government to put in place a three year emergency brake on private rents. No sudden rent hikes. No evictions under the guise of rent rises. No more uncertainty, no more fear: just vital breathing space for renters.

Met with Camden Leaseholders Forum this morning to hear about leasehold issues in Holborn and St Pancras. I was disappointed to hear they had been promised a dedicated councillor for leaseholders but this was reneged on by Camden Council. As MP I'll hold the council to account.

"It is clear that Labour needs the Greens to keep them in check everyday to push them towards the real transformation this country needs." @zackpolanski.bsky.social reacts to the Prime Minister's speech at Labour conference.
HOPE IS NOT JUST A SLOGAN, IT NEEDS TO MEAN REAL CHANGE

ZACK POLANSKI
LEADER OF THE GREEN PARTY

"Unlike his predecessor, we have a PM who talks like he gets it. But sadly like his predecessor he isn’t prepared to break from the powerful and wealthy interests that have created an inequality, affordability and a climate crisis.
 
Hope is not just a slogan, it needs to mean real change. The speech today had no wealth taxes, no rent controls, no water nationalisation and a strong hint of more North Sea drilling.
 
It is disappointing that we have a country ready to break from the last 40 years, a Labour government with the majority to do it, and yet what we see are more half measures, reannouncements and tinkering."
