This 'deal' to pay 25% more for US drugs in return for nothing will cost £3.3bn a year. NHS services will be cut, less drugs will be prescribed, you will suffer. So American Billionaires can be Trillionaires.

NEW: An Oxford report warns that misleading media coverage is shaping public debate on immigration and human rights. The study finds the ECHR is frequently misreported in deportation cases, fueling misconceptions that erode trust in the legal system. 🧵 [1/8]

I see all the media organisations endlessly parroting the "free speech under threat" rhetoric of the right are now staying completely silent as Reform and the Conservatives openly ban news outlets that criticise them from covering their events bylinetimes.com/2025/09/04/k...

At least 365 arrests at Palestine Action ban protest. Our government should all be hanging their heads in shame at these arrests. These people are protesting genocide and mass starvation - seems completely reasonable to me.

RFK wants to lean into “whole cell” vaccine technology, which has existed for decades, comes with increased risk of side effects and can take years to develop. mRNA vaccine technology comes with far decreased risk of side effects and can take mere months to develop. Make it make sense!

Trump's flurry of destructive actions in his first few hours in power just made regaining our EU membership much MUCH more pressing. When someone is actively tearing down the myriad rules-based systems that glue the modern world together, we need to be closely partnered with their defender.
