The contrast between the utterly sycophantic coverage this week of Kemi Badenoch, whose party has a truly atrocious electoral record under her leadership, and the utterly dismissive coverage of the Greens, tells you everything you need to know about media bias in the UK

The CDC just posted this today. Do you see anything missing? Washing our hands will not meaningfully protect us from airborne viruses like Covid. We need respirator MASKS for that!
CDC graphic posted on Instagram with caption "Actions you can take to protect yourself and others from respiratory illnesses 

-washing your hands frequently 
-cover coughs and sneezes
-avoid touching your face
-regularly disinfect surfaces
-stay up to date with vaccines
-open windows or use air filters

Dear journalists, If you're looking to interview a doctor on Covid in 2026, a good probing question is whether they wear a respirator mask in their practice. If not, maybe time to source a new expert

Respirators/masks have a lot of uses and it will always be a failure of 🇺🇸 society that their use is now scoffed at. 2020-2021 had the lowest number of flu cases & deaths since records began (*one* reported pediatric flu death), and last year—especially severe—we saw an estimated 45,000 deaths.

If folks need an impression of how dismal things are wrt treatment of ME and LC in the NHS, you just need to look at the services stocktake that was done in January 2025. There was "no data" for ME/CFS clinic referrals.
Annex 1 - Data Dashboard - Long Covid ME/CFS Stock take December 2024. 

Highlighted box shows that there is NO DATA for total referrals to ME/CFS clinics for the period examined in the stocktake.

The UK government ceasing automatically to support almost anything the government of Israel does is a major shift. The next step should be to rescind the ban on #PalestineAction, to stop treating protesters as terrorists, and to acknowledge that those seeking to disrupt a genocide may have a point.

Without being overly cynical, Reform supporters already said they didn't care about the £5 million bung from Harborne, and that even if it was shady, good, because 'whatever it takes' to get Farage in power. Far-right politics thrives on incoherent exceptionalism which it demands and creates.
