It only feels “radically progressive” because we’ve spent 40 years normalising radically regressive ideas. This was broadly how Britain worked from 1945–79, when average GDP growth was 2.6% a year — compared with 1.9% in the post-Thatcher years. It works www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

If Parliament fails to pass immediate donation caps to stop billionaires buying UK elections, MPs are directly complicit in the collapse of our democracy. Allowing uncapped mega-cash to dictate policy erodes public trust. Why let dark money win? 🤔 #FBPE

Under Starmer: rail nationalisation, Renters’ Rights Act, stronger worker rights, and a better funded NHS with improving wait times. But the biggest issue remains housing: Average house £270k vs wage £35k. It’s not rocket science - house prices are an anchor on economic growth.

This just popped up in my feed from 1.5 yrs ago. I’m still very disabled by that reinfection. Making slow improvements, & finding symptomatic treatments to make the most of what I’ve got. That reinfection from an unventilated school cost me dear; a year off work & the family home for starters.

Long COVID research is moving toward a clearer picture: this may not be one illness with one cause. It may be several overlapping problems involving the immune system, blood vessels, nerves, clotting, muscles, sleep, and viral remnants.

"Measles is a highly contagious, serious airborne disease caused by a virus that can lead to severe complications and death." First, trying to contain measles without using the word airborne makes as much sense as trying to control SARS by saying it's not airborne. Second, WHO can say airborne.

“measles doesn’t kill anyone, touch grass, parent better, no masks ever!” This was a response to my masks in healthcare article. Someone took the time to email me just to spread harmful lies. We need masks in healthcare. To protect the vulnerable AND those who won’t protect themselves:

We Need Mandatory Masking in Healthcare, and We Need it Now
Healthcare facilities should set the tone when it comes to masking. They should help patients protect themselves from Covid and other threats. Instead they push droplet dogma and put lives at risk.
