If you have a lung condition and catch the flu, you're more at risk of having an asthma attack or a flare-up of your lung condition. Annette lives with asthma and shared with us her experience of having flu. www.nhs.uk/nhs-services...

They call it development. But development doesn't trigger droughts, starve farmers, and drive gorillas to extinction. That's ecocide. #CongoBasin

The Conservatives want to restrict people on benefits from buying alcohol. Yet they’re uninterested in restricting the cheaper alcohol sold in Parliament’s bars and restaurants. Why is one use of public money treated as morally unacceptable while the other is apparently fine?

Crazy that we hear about Train Drivers who get £60,000 a year for driving a train. But we never hear about the boss of Tesco who gets £30,000 a day and doesn't even pay tax in the UK. Or the £250m a day that the likes of Amazon, Vodafone, BP and Shell don't pay in tax.

In the UK there is an existing criminal justice system, and a Labour government is apparently in power. Yet when a white man incites violence and women are beaten as he laughs, isn’t being arrested. Because special treatment applies to fascist leaders of political parties in fascist Britain.

Symptoms of lung conditions may include breathlessness, a cough that lasts a long time or goes away and comes back, wheezing and more. Having any of these symptoms does not mean you have a lung condition, but it’s important to speak to your GP or healthcare professional.
