“Quietly sleepwalking into worklessness”. No. This is what “taking it on the chin” looks like. An economy with a broken jaw. #PlagueIsland.

The Trump DoJ fought to indict six Democrat lawmakers for telling troops to disobey illegal orders. He wanted them charged with sedition for telling the truth. That same DoJ won’t prosecute anyone for raping and trafficking children. They protect predators & silence opposition

Demonising those out of work by the Torygraph again. Meanwhile, the rich get richer, we can't tax the wealthy apparently.

"We were solving a major financial crisis, all my thoughts were on how we could save people’s jobs, savings & their livelihoods." He put Iceland on a terrorist watchlist for having the audacity to prosecute banksters. Gordon "end of boom and bust" Brown is given zero scrutiny, his legacy a myth.

Epstein's gang didn't have to use full-blooded coercive violence to get whatever they wanted. They did it because they could. Because they believed they would never be held to account. Because elite abuse is systematically overlooked & enabled by institutions whose job is to protect the vulnerable.

If COVID was over, Olympic Athletes wouldn’t be wearing respirators. We were never told to wear these but gappy surgicals because apparently it’s droplet surface 🙄 and not airborne. However, Athletes know it’s airborne & have rightly upgraded. Our Doctors don’t have these in hospitals!

😬😬😬😬 As his support falls through the floor, for to his lack of action on so many fronts.

As part of this years Children’s Mental Health Week, we’re reflecting on what it really means to belong. When children and young people feel accepted and supported — in family, with peers, at school, and in the wider world — their mental wellbeing grows 🤝 #ChildrensMentalHealthWeek #LongCovidKids

Should they reply to you telling them that Olympians are still taking precautions by pointing out that you are not an Olympian, reply that like an Olympian you too are competing in a historic event, and when they ask what it is, tell them: it’s called the surviving the pandemic.

'As climate change accelerates, weak infrastructure and poor crisis planning will worsen deadly weather impacts. Protecting people indoors must become a priority, focusing on thermal comfort, ventilation, and reducing indoor air pollutants.' #AirQuality wires.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/...

I've seen a few cruel posts on Twitter / X recently, and, as a result, I would remind you all of the following: If you're trying to avoid infection with SARS-CoV-2, you're being smart. Mask harassment - online or irl - is done by uninformed, resentful and insecure people. Ignore them.

COVID has never been "over," nor has it ever been a "cold." Intelligent people know this because we read the science. We've been reading it for more than six years. Some of us have been sick from one little COVID infection for that long, too. Respirators are just smart, and life and career saving.

Please can the @greenparty.org.uk bring this up in Parliament. We must block MAGA unpicking more science in the UK. This is not free speech but misinformation.

Teaching our Year 8 students the actual meanings of Asylum seeker Refugee Economic migrant Illegal immigrant ...involves lots of un-learning. They've picked-up so much misinformation and disinformation. The other day, one asked me if it was OK for me to be saying the word 'immigrant' 😌

This is an ongoing situation, this was the point of my thread.

Invisible changes

We must make the invisible visible. Please act on #COVID @ashleydaltonmp.bsky.social National Screening- Oxford Coverscan You can’t see blood vessel or immune damage & SARSCoV2 is vascular. #Covidisairborne #CleantheAir Roll out vaccines to anyone who wants one!

Our families deserve full transparency on this and nothing less.

Vulnerable people continue to die each week because we are still being told to wash hands for a predominantly airborne virus and this matters very much.

Concentration camps in USA

Here are the 19 leading causes of death among 10-14 year olds, ranked by their 2024 incidence compared to the 1997-2019 average. Together, they account for 35% of all deaths in 2024. 2/x

Holy f**king sh1t. The children ARE NOT OK. Sweden didn't vaccinate children for covid and didn't lockdown. Look at the impact this has had on children's mortality rates.

Mandelson scandal is 'serious' for Starmer but PM is 'man of integrity', Brown says. How many pledges Starmer reneged on? Deeply divisive Mandelson had history of lying, was forced to resign as Minister, relationship with Epstein was known, still became ambassador, advisor to Starmer.

🚨 Thousands of NHS patients waiting for hip replacements and other routine operations are having their surgery cancelled so the health service can save money www.thetimes.com/article/5b97...

I speak to so many people who think they haven’t caught COVID but don’t mask or test. It might be that a few of you didn’t but it’s far more likely most of you had asymptomatic COVID. Between 40-49% catch asymptomatic infections but it’s not a cold. Mild doesn’t necessarily equate 🧵

9/ sit here & hope that more headstones will do the work of attitude & behavior change *for* us. It most certainly won't, especially because - unlike in the early years of covid & HIV/AIDS - there's going to be a huge gap between virus & morbidity/mortality for most folks affected. (I just today did

4/ slips across the deck on their stomachs & off into the (anti-vax) water. To be more concise: lots of deaths by a preventable cause don't always change behavior, at least in the direction we'd like. That's b/c it's not the virus or the death that directs which way folks go - it's the context.

Former Washington Post journalists have launched a GoFundMe to help repatriate fired staff members who are effectively stranded in foreign countries. One of the richest men in the world fired them from the paper and didn’t even pay to ensure they got home. Abolish the billionaire class:

This scenario raises the risk of rapid reinfections, for those relying on disease-acquired immunity. 🧵

Oh God how heartbreaking it is when your child is in pain and looks at you as if saying, 'Save me, save my life, and who else but you can save me? How my heart burns with agony over my helplessness to save his life I wish I hadn't been born poor I wish I were the one to He dies gofund.me/52a8eee2b

Feeling so much grief tonight. 😢😬This was on this day last year. ❤️

I would be so grateful if you would read my thread @markhamillofficial.bsky.social 🙏 The guidance being incorrect in both our countries, has been utilised to push more to the right by MAGA on social media. I have watched this playing out over 6 years of campaigning on social media. Bringing it out

My long thread from yesterday. Thank you to all who have shared and read!

My washing machine is playing up, so I managed to get a spare machine from the local Facebook marketplace. The machine wasn't draining. Yesterday, I dismantled the machine, & took the pump off. I took the pump apart, cleaned it, regreased it, & reassembled everything. Tonight, it's running perfectly

BA.3.2 update. We're up to 89 US wastewater detections. It's around 2% of the total now.

Wall Street is finally like, "Wait a minute, AI taking jobs leads to unemployment, and unemployment is bad for stocks!!!" And it would be hilarious if it weren't so egregiously stupid.

Y'all should win an award for this 🎯 video. 👏👏👏

When they ask you how you can be so concerned about Covid given all of the terrible things that are currently happening, kindly but firmly tell them that Covid is one of those terrible things that is currently happening. * The 308th week: librarianshipwreck.wordpress.com/2026/02/05/p...

“It’s like being raped by the Department of Justice”. That’s what Anouska De Georgiou feels about the way they’ve handled the Epstein files. This is why Kaitlan Collins wasn’t smiling. They’re re-traumatizing these women because they can. They’re protecting predators.

Brilliant. Finally an honest, easy to understand message about airborne viral transmission and how to prevent it. And proper respirators, instead of baggy blue paper masks!

I want to feel hopeful about the future but 6 years on and we still aren’t protecting children from COVID. Our government lack empathy and compassion.

The public made noise for Liam Ramos and it got him released from Dilley. Now we must make noise for 7 year old Diana Crespo. Her parents were taking her for emergency medical care when ICE grabbed them, and she’s rotting in the camp sick and exposed to measles. Get them out!

Mandelson’s malign influence runs right through the heart of this Government. Not least in the govt’s NHS data deal with Palantir – a spy-tech firm co-founded by a man who thinks the NHS should be ‘ripped up.’ I've written to Wes Streeting urging him to ditch this dangerous deal.
