To put it another way: Jeff Bezos could easily ensure there are no staff cuts at The Washington Post for the next decade, and he'd still have more than $249B in net worth left over.

People who make billions out of billions are invariably horrible, vicious, abusive, nasty, bitter human beings who think very highly of themselves and their needs and their pile of money and absolutely nothing of other human beings. If the Epstein scandal has reminded us of anything it is that.

Imagine seeing photos and videos of ugly old men raping underage girls and thinking, "I need to protect those horrible men at all costs."? Pam Bondi is a soulless villain.

There's a one hour special on Nigel Farage and Reform UK, and whether they are ready to lead, on BBC2 Presumably, there will be a similar one hour special on Zack Polanski, and whether The Greens are ready to lead, as well?

The Chancellor seems convinced that her benefits-slashing won't result in poverty. 25 major charitable organisations have all explained, in detail, why that is not correct. A society is judged on how it treats its most vulnerable. Show some integrity and listening skills, please, Government.

This a cheat sheet for doctors & nurses who haven’t read anything about Covid in 5 years.
Doctors/Nurses
Covid Cheat Sheet
Covid is a deadly and dangerous virus.
Covid is vascular and damages organs.
Everyone is at some risk.
39% risk heart attack, stroke, or clots 1.5 yrs.
Exercise is to be avoided during recovery.
Each re-infection incurs more damage.
Most risks at 2x or 3x with re-infection. 10% of infections result in long Covid.
Even when 'mild' in the young and healthy.
Long Covid is a chronic illness. 1 in 5 doctors have long Covid.
Vaccines do not prevent Covid or long Covid.
Covid is airborne, not droplets.
Covid can hang in the air for hours.
Respiratory masks KN95, N95 prevent Covid.
They also prevent other respiratory illnesses
Surgical masks are less effective.
60% of Covid infections are asymptomatic.
So mask even when feeling fine.
Hospital Acquired Covid can be up to 30%
1 in 5 doctors

Babies born in the pandemic did not suffer lack of language skills because of ‘lockdowns’ or schools not being fully open. I find it hard to believe Labour is parroting the absurd right-wing revisionism of the Telegraph. However, COVID-19 is still killing and disabling.
