And Covid is airborne, there is still no #CleanAir in our hospitals apart from in OT and staff are still not being given ffp3 respirators to protect themselves & patients.

We've just learned that the person at the MHRA whose letter caused Wes 'I follow the clinical evidence' Streeting to cancel the puberty blockers trial is Professor Jacob George, the GC who enjoyed mocking trans people on his social media account.

Why did Wes Streeting cover up his name?

The last sentence nails it.

"Keir may have been a disappointment as prime minister domestically. But it doesn’t bear thinking about the state we’d be in if Kemi or Farage were in Downing Street right now."

I completely agree and would very much like to sign this but unfortunately the link will not let me do so. Have tried numerous times and each time it times out.

Read these words from 100 years ago about immigrants in Britain – and see how history is chillingly repeating itself | George Monbiot Shabana Mahmood’s new rights clampdown looks outlandish until we remember that this kind of hardline action is part of our country’s fabric, says George Monbiot

The precedent is eerily, chillingly precise. What the current Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood is doing to immigrants and refugees today is almost a carbon copy of what Sir William Joynson-Hicks was doing 100 years ago. And that's not a good thing. My column.

Completely agree with this. However I was under the impression that they were very much trying to out-reform Reform.

We dont want or need a war with Iran. After previous bombing, Trump assured us he had β€œdecimated β€œ Iran’s nuclear capabilities.
We are at war because Netanyahu told Trump to crush them. Israel has long wanted to dominate Iran.

But make no mistake, this is not about nukes and its not for America

Netflix Backs Out of Bid for Warner Bros., Paving Way for an Ellison Takeover

The richest man owns X.

The second and third richest men control Google.

The fourth richest man owns Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp.

The fifth richest man owns The Washington Post.

And now the sixth richest could soon take over both Paramount and Warner Bros.

See the problem here?

"droposol": a made-up word obfuscating the gap between infection control's out-of-date-since-1934 "5-micron error" and reality (plus a claim that the presence of large droplets magically makes aerosols less aerosol-y).

Think about how much trouble you'd have to be in to think *this* is the way out.

Not so very different from some of the views expressed by members of JCVI in the context of Covid Vaccines. This from 2021. A view which seems to prevail in the uk given the ongoing very tight rationing of these vaccines.

Reform UK’s ICE-style deportation plan condemned as β€˜sadistic’ Zia Yusuf sets out proposals and calls migration an β€˜invasion’, as rights groups decry β€˜grotesque’ measures

⚠️ Natasha Tsangarides, an associate director at Freedom from Torture, said:

β€œYusuf’s speech was a grotesque display of ethnonationalist, authoritarian cruelty. His divisive and dangerous proposals threaten to divide families and wreak terror and chaos in our communities.”

OAF OF ALLEGIANCE: The implications of Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor’s arrest β€” and the lingering image that’s so good they hung it in the Louvre β€” are still occupying most minds. Officials have made clear that they’ll consider legislation to remove the ex-prince from the royal line of succession once the police investigation is wrapped up β€” but MPs want to be able to vent in a Commons debate far sooner. Great care will need to be taken not to prejudice a potential case (and the king’s brother denies all wrongdoing).

Act early and it's to protect the public.

Act late and it's to protect the institution.

Screen shot from Paul Embery’s X account:

Respect to this police officer. Confronted by radicals demanding the arrest of a Christian preacher on the grounds that Whitechapel "is a Muslim area" she was calm and professional and
gave them short shrift. Let's see more of this from the police.

This clip is all over the other place and has made its way onto GB News and Talk TV so I’ll do a bit of an explainer here too!

The clip doing the rounds is of a fantastic police officer telling a group of Muslim men that a Christian preacher nearby is entitled to freedom of expression.

Staggering that 24% of voters in this advanced country continue to believe in a bunch of entitled bigots with unworkable policies, whose very ideas put us in the abject chaos we are in. Truly God awful idiots, and I make no apology for saying that.

Nothing says the β€˜special relationship’ is over like this picture of Donald Trump and Liz Truss | Zoe Williams It’s awkward, nobody seems to know what is going on, and the president’s thumb is at half-mast. It’s almost a metaphor for diplomatic relations between the US and the UK, writes Zoe Williams

He has no idea who she is and she probably paid him for the photo opportunity.
It’s a moment that’s devoid of any dignity.

Who pays for what, exactly?
I get charged Β£50 a month to park on an area of poorly maintained gravel in a rural hospital where there no viable public transport links and no safe cycling routes. Incidentally cycling 10 miles for a 3 o'clock in the morning emergency is not really a good option.
