Amazingly, Zahawi only got round to deleting the below after the press conference announcing his defection to Reform.

100% this!👇

I’ve just donated to this worthy cause

Chris Ponting is an absolute hero. He's involved with this work because of his friendship with Simon McGrath who was at Oxford Uni with him. Chris has spent hours travelling to visit Simon. Amazing guy. #c4news #DecodeME #MEcfs

Proud to be on the Science Advisory Board for DecodeME, a peripheral role but a fantastic vantage point from which to witness such outstanding work by Chris Ponting @cgatist.bsky.social and colleagues #MECFS #pwME www.theguardian.com/society/2025...

(1/2) Key genetic differences found in people with ME/CFS > Swipe to find out more. These findings reflect the lived experience of thousands of #pwME. Thanks to all our participants & supporters who made this possible! Read a summary of our results: shorturl.at/pgsjk

Clip: Channel 4 News, Prof Chris Ponting tells a participant that the DecodeME study found eight genetic differences in people with MECFS — demonstrating that it’s a biological, organic illness.

“DecodeME also looked at genetic signals associated with depression and anxiety that were near the genetic signals found for ME/CFS, and found that neither involved the same causal variants as ME/CFS” www.decodeme.org.uk/x-marks-the-... where ME/CFS biology can be discovered - DecodeME

Within a week of the plan being published, There were three petitions for people with severe ME being held against their will by the NHS. And now this mother of a child with ME being *arrested* for her death despite the harms caused by THE NHS!!!

@rthonwesstreeting.bsky.social I can't find Ashley Dalton on here so tagging you in with total support for what you have had to do. Hope BMA negotiations are going better.

@meactionuk.bsky.social @meactnet.bsky.social please boost on other platforms. We are scrambling for lawyers to get the sister out as the top priority. I am speaking with national print media this morning.

Isla's mother has been arrested under suspicion of causing her death from ME last year (heart failure). There was no inquest. Isla's younger sister (15), who also has ME, has been removed from the only people who understand how the disease must be managed. Imagine her fear. #MEKills #HumanRights

It’s #MEAwareness Day! MECFS has one of the lowest QOL of any disease and yet most providers incorrectly believe it’s psychological and refuse to use current best tx practices. For my healthcare friends, the Bateman Horne Center just released a very comprehensive clinical care guide.

Bailouts won't fix the sewage scandal and won't reduce bills. Join me and @GoodLawProject to call on Steve Reed to stop water company greed goodlaw.social/uk6y

Here are some nice mushrooms

I was today years old…

It’s seductive to think that people with ME who are in remission might be “cured,” but I would have significant concerns about force readiness involving a population who may relapse into severe forms of disability with they types of exertion military service requires. inews.co.uk/news/politic...

www.thelondoneconomic.com/news/media/o... I’m shocked. Shocked and stunned. Stunned and shocked.

Another reminder: Respiratory infections spread mainly through the air. That’s why they affect the lungs. Masks, worn correctly and consistently, reduce the spread of respiratory infections. Respirators work better than masks. Washing hands isn’t wrong, but it won’t stop airborne transmission.

Thread: 1/4 The AGM of the MEAssociation is being held today. With the current interest in, and focus on, governance at the Charity, I requested remote access to the meeting, as an observer (I am not a member). My request was denied on the basis of a "members only" attendance policy.

On the one hand an MP found to have told the truth about a minor conviction, on the other an MP found to have lied about being locked up for kicking seven bells out of a young woman...

Contrary to popular belief, there are only four kinds of bats.

There IS a left-wing agenda, and it’s to prioritize compassion over greed. Kindness isn't a limited resource.

In March, colleagues and I wrote to BMJ to express concern about a paper claiming online rehab was "clinically effective" for treating #LongCovid. The data reported did not support this, given the study's effect size & niche sample. Here @davetuller1.bsky.social describes how BMJ responded #pwME
