Makary and Oz stand there and nod as their boss lies about vaccines not being tested. Can you imagine a doctor sinking lower than this? I can't. It's the Mariana trench of medical ethics.

“I asked all the crooks in the party if they have ever taken a back hander, and they all denied it” “I’m not a police officer so I can’t investigate this” “But Starmer” He collapses under the most gentle of scrutiny.

"My NHS colleagues & I weren’t willing to let the bodies pile high in their thousands. Boris no longer mentions them at all." My piece on the responses to the UK Covid-UK Inquiry report that try to airbrush the dead away. Sincere thanks, @theobserveruk.bsky.social. observer.co.uk/news/nationa...

About that exclusive, "closed-to-press" MAHA summit last week with RFK and JD Vance: I got in. Here's what I saw. 🧵 🧪 www.nature.com/articles/d41...

This is not a peace plan. It is a proposal that weakens Ukraine and divides America from Europe, preparing the way for a larger war in the future. In the meantime, it benefits unnamed Russian and American investors, at the expense of everyone else. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2025/1...

Newmarket MP Matt Hancock gave a £37bn Covid testing contract to Jockey Club director Dido Harding, who subcontracted it to Grand National sponsor Randox, employer of Tory MP Owen Paterson, whose late wife chaired Aintree racecourse. That's how the Tories handled the pandemic.

It's now 24 hours since Nigel Farage's man in Wales was sent down for 10+ years for taking pro-Russian bribes. Why won't Farage allow an independent investigation to root out any pro-Russian links in Reform? What has he got to hide?

In honor of Larry Summers, I asked the female members of my college class (1987) to say if they had any experiences with sexual harassment by teachers/professors, back when this was tolerated as, I dunno, the cost of attending college, and OH MY GOD.

Sex Matters, the women’s rights ­charity, said it was considering legal action if the policy was not withdrawn. www.thetimes.com/uk/politics/...

A "toxic and chaotic culture" in the UK government affected decision-making, it adds, saying that Boris Johnson failed to tackle and sometimes "actively [encouraged] it" Bastard. #CovidInquiry www.bbc.co.uk/news/live/cm...

Instant reaction to the emotional end of Doreen Lawrence being questioned at the Undercover Policing Inquiry today. 32 years since her son was murdered she's still seeking the truth, trying to find out how much her campaign for justice has been stymied by the police www.youtube.com/watch?v=KJVQ...

If a category is called female or women's it must be just that: a female/women's category. Not a mixed sex category.

I loathed Johnson from way before he was PM. I remember daily ‘heated debates’ with my then colleagues who adored him & Brexit. Today I hope even they will have to agree he was the worst PM ever. His laziness & incompetence killed our citizens. And he partied. I want him to pay

'The projected borrowing for the UK is set to come down... that's not true in lots of other comparable countries.' 🎧 Listen to @helenmiller.bsky.social & @benzaranko.bsky.social discuss how the UK's government debt compares to other countries ahead of next week's Budget: ifs.org.uk/articles/bud...

She says women are women, men aren't women, and has opened a rape crisis centre in Scotland for women, staffed by women. She said trans can dress how they want, sleep with who they want etc but do not have the right to take away women's rights. That's not bigotry, it's reality.

"There are about 1000 of us."

I really did not enjoy Jay Bhattacharya & Matthew Memoli’s screed against pandemic & virology research for the flagship blog of a “free-market think tank." Instead of getting mad, I accepted @jeremyfaust.bsky.social's kind invitation to take a factual & scientific blowtorch to it.

Starmer is well aware of what needs to be done. Here is what he said when voting for Johnson's UK-EU deal. Services "a gaping hole", "lack of ambition", "Imperfect", "thin", "a basis to build on". Share, to show the PM that you back him going further and faster to improve our deal with the EU. ~AA

I am sure they are all very concerned about 'integration'. Unbelievable...

Biologists who say this are not doing biology at the time.

I think this bag is fake. Hermes's flagship products are handsewn using a saddle stitch. A worker marks the leather using an awl and then threads two needles through from both sides. This results in a tight stitch with no holes between the stitches. The holes here suggest the bag was machine sewn.

Wes taking the fight right to Reform. Farage and Reform promise to make you pay for your health care and worry about the bills. Labour promisee to keep the NHS publicly funded and free at the point of use, with no worry needed over the bill. Thanks Wes! www.instagram.com/p/DRCrZEPCCT2/

Instant report from the afternoon at the #spycops inquiry. Dan Gilman, blacklisted trade unionist, is questioned about his role as an antifascist activist in the 1990s. He was spied on & lied about by officers including HN104 Carlo Soracchi 'Carlo Neri' www.youtube.com/watch?v=paR2...

Report from the lunchbreak at the Undercover Policing Inquiry after the questioning of Lois Austin, Youth Against Racism in Europe organiser in the 1990s. She exposed the absurdity of #spycops & also the brutality of uniformed policing of antifascists www.youtube.com/watch?v=XBZW...

Public service announcement. Starmer isn’t “about to call a general election”, no matter how excited Chris Mason is, or how gleefully the Corbyn nut jobs repeat the bullshit from “unnamed sources” Calm down. Ends.

It doesn't have to be this divisive but misogyny is now central to trans rights. Insults I get in response are usually about my looks or my age ... my looks are irrelevant but I've a good few years of voting left, @yourparty.bsky.social won't get it while supporting woman-hating demands/group.

Dr Broady is spot on. Trans stuff is now clearly misogynistic! It is an attempt to obliterate the reality of biological sex, and the issues from that, by subsuming it within gender play. They think waving around words like intersex or whatever somehow negates biological sex. It doesn't .

So this is interesting from Robert Peston. The claims of people inside No 10 briefing the press about the PM fighting for his leadership appear to be wrong. As I speculated this morning, it appears to have been nothing more but a response to a question from a journalist! @mrjamesob.bsky.social

I cannot fathom how any one person would prefer Farage and his incompetents over Starmer and his very competent government. They have met, or are on course to meet, 58 of their Manifesto commitments. And they’re only 16 months into their term.

I support Sir Keir Starmer. He is our PM and must remain as PM. This speculation about his future needs to stop. The media have it in for him and he is actually doing a bloody good job.

When is a pm given any time? Under what measures is his position untenable? Because media folks say so promoted by gbeebies and even yourself? Labour need to grow a pair and plough the fuck onwards and get results. The left always shred themselves. The right are trying to force an early GE ffs

In BBC staff inboxes this week: How to be a trans ally" . Regardless of your views on trans ideology, it is NO part of a journalist's job to be an "ally" for one view.

The solution isn't destroying all AIs and going back the way it was before (it's impossible). The only correct answer to that is a universal basic income + free healthcare + free mass transit + more free stuff provided by the government in general. Sadly the world isn't ready for that

Right message; and a clear repudiation of the "squalid chapter" rhetoric in the Immigration White Paper. But needs to be backed up with policy; making it more difficult for long-term residents (both workers and refugees) to get settlement and citizenship is bad for both economy and social cohesion.

It does feel good to see the tide turning. We have come so far.

Spending on the foundations i.e. here health, saves money. Also less children off sick means better education and parents not missing school due to childcare issues.

Trump was found as a matter of fact (unchallenged on appeal) by a US court to be an insurrectionist

The BBC is an incredible publicly owned institution that everyone in this country should be proud of 📺 It is "by miles the most watched, listened to and read of all platforms in the UK" and "most trusted, at 60%" Excellent piece @pollytoynbee.bsky.social www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

I’m not sure GB Propaganda Station fully understands what being patriotic looks and acts like.

Also reminder of this Robbie Gibb cancelled an investigation into Farage's Leave dot EU campaign shortly before the EU Ref Arron Banks thanked him for it "Robbie Gibb is being quite helpful and says he’s trying to hose it down." cc @baghdaddi.bsky.social

Bottom of #spycops barrel gets deeper w/ more & more grime yet to be scraped. Thomson sits here at public inquiry w/ his sharp suit, perfectly pressed shirt, 3rd tie for 3rd day of his hearings & a large poppy on his lapel. Impression: upstanding citizen. Reality: Sexist, lecherous scumbag.
