I’ve stopped paying attention to these people. Because no Russian, Iraqi, Iranian, Syrian, Chinese, Cuban, Venezuela, Sudanese, Afghani and a whole host of other nations we are supposed to call enemy, poses any threat to my day. These people in power over here, do. And there is evidence of it.

Burnham's holding off on public ownership, for what reason? Private companies exist to make money for shareholders. Without true competition, that's at odds with providing a decent standard of service. #PublicOwnership

Looks good! Key will be for "evidence" to be defined scientifically, and not by Big Guidance (GRADE, Cochrane, etc). The for-profit EBM ecosystem that botched the COVID response captures regulatory power over health (and $$$) by substituting its own pseudoscientific Evidence™ for the real thing.

#ThinkHealth is a core part of the policy coming to @greenparty.org.uk conference in autumn 2026. It asks those in power to consider health and health equity in their decisions.

Screenshot of a post by Mouse 🐭 (@MementoMousie) comparing society’s response to COVID with surviving a house fire. The post says it is like everyone experienced a house fire 3–6 years ago, then began unplugging smoke detectors and throwing away fire extinguishers because they didn’t want to think about it. If their house catches fire again, they ignore it. The author says the frustrating part is showing people evidence that fire can be extinguished so they don’t have to live in fear, but they still ignore it and no one admits the situation is unsafe and unnecessary.
