It’s 18 years ago today that the attack took place in Stubbylee Park, Bacup, that took Sophie’s life 13 days later. We send love to Sophie’s family and friends and all that love her. Sophie is not just a figurehead or a banner we march behind; she was a person who should be here with us today.

.. as soon as we put ourselves above another we have lost .. lost our perspective and our humanity .. to do better is surely our aim .. but fucking hell do we collectively keep failing to do so

Long Covid UK @longcoviduk.bsky.social · 26/03/2025
We’ve signed this letter by @longcovidkids.bsky.social to Wes Streeting & @ashleydaltonmp.bsky.social. Millions suffer complex chronic illnesses without effective care. And no dedicated #LongCovid research funding from Gov. since 2021. Economic impact is mounting. This can’t go on. #FundOurFuture
Pages 1 & 2 of Letter on Long Covid Kids headed paper addressed to The Rt Hon Wes Streeting MP Secretary of State for Health and Social Care. Ashley Dalton MP Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State for Public Health and Prevention Department of Health and Social Care.
Subject: Invest in Long Covid & M.E. Urgent Action Needed to Stop Clinic Closures & to Fund Improved Clinical Care and Research.
Text includes:
We, the undersigned organisations, charities, and individuals - alongside more than 13,000 people who have signed our petition - are calling for urgent action to support the millions living with Long Covid and M.E. This includes over 100,000 children affected by Long Covid in England and Scotland, and many more living with M.E., PoTS, and other related conditions. Long Covid is part of a wider group of post-viral and immune-mediated conditions - including M.E./CFS, PoTS, and others - that sit within a spectrum of complex, often overlapping illnesses. Paediatric Long Covid is a newly recognised childhood disease, emerging since 2020, which demands urgent recognition, research, and individualised care. This is not just a health crisis, it is an escalating economic and social emergency that affects children, families, and the wider workforce.
This letter aligns directly with the NHS 10-Year Plan launched in 2024, which aims to overhaul healthcare and improve access to treatment, especially for those with complex and chronic conditions. Ensuring adequate support for people with Long Covid and M.E. must be a key part of that strategy, with a focus on improving patient outcomes, embedding robust data collection, and continuously evaluating the effectiveness of care and services.Pages 2 and 3 of letter include: 
We Need Immediate Action. We urge the government to commit to the following:
1. Develop a long-term strategy to fund biomedical research, treatment, and monitor the wider impact of Long Covid and M.E. in adults and children, informed by lived experience 
2. Stop clinic closures and commit to long-term, effective care, support & treatment for Long Covid, M.E. & overlapping conditions, grounded in robust biomedical research and co-designed with patients. NHS England has allocated funding to ICBs, but without accountability, services are being defunded despite ongoing need.
3. Train doctors & healthcare professionals to expand & sustain specialist services.
It is signed by several people & organisations including Sammie McFarland CEO & Founder, Long Covid Kids. Professor Mark Faghy Professor in Clinical Exercise Science, University of Derby Trustee, Long Covid Kids. The list of organisations includes Long Covid Support.Last page of letter with the rest of individual signatories and list of references.

If you don’t want history to be re-written please share this video widely - because the only way to stop that happening is to constantly call this boll**** out with the actual facts

The pitch from right wing politicians that the UK needs to leave the ECHR is based on a wholly misleading premise yet many are now being taken in by it. Let’s make sure everyone understands the actual facts. Leaving the ECHR will undermine all our rights

Watching A Christmas Carol written in 1843.. seems to me it’s message still applies today and there’s quite a few who’d benefit from being visited by the spirits

It’s bad enough former Prime Minister Boris Johnson has been allowed to spout his absolute boll**** about “Brexit saving lives” unchallenged on UK news shows - now he’s traveling the world repeating it! Let’s stop him rewriting history - share these actual FACTS youtu.be/pAm62GE6pi8?...

Johnson now travels world telling anyone who will listen “Brexit saved lives” - hold onto your seats

Another environmental catastrophe caused by Russians east of Crimea, after one of their decaying oil tankers broke apart on high seas 2 days ago, 35km of pristine coastline has been contaminated in true Russian style. And these tankers are now all over the world.
