Hello from the UK!

A reminder of the Home Secretaries when the Southport murderer was ignored by Prevent.

Notice anything?

Every one a Tory.

All under the previous Tory Government.

Getting very tired of “hard done by” actual millionaire farmers spreading misinformation about a tax (not a fine or punishment) that they either avoid completely or pay half what the rest of “hard done by” millionaires would pay.

Both in the news today for differing reasons. Michael Sheen who remortgaged his house to fund the Homeless World Cup, Jeremy Clarkson who bought a farm to evade tax.

This. Is. A. Disgrace.

So if it's a trade choice between:

a) chlorinated chicken, plastic cheese, nasty chocolate and

b) European food, beer & wine...

...I confess, I have a strong preference for the latter.

Sunak talks about debt

Your honour, may I present the Conservative Party’s debt legacy:

National debt 2010 = £800 billion
National debt 2024 = £2.6 trillion

And we have absolutely nothing to show for it

Sit down Sunak, your lot broke the country

Starmer’s Berlin trip was a real success. But let’s not confuse Germany with the EU | Helene von Bismarck If the British prime minister wants a closer relationship with the EU, he needs to go to Brussels, not just Berlin and Paris says the German historian Helene von Bismarck

"Starmer‘s visit to Berlin was a real success. It’s significance lies in putting the bilateral relationship with Germany on a new, much closer footing."
(And no, he is not reversing Brexit, and the Germans are well aware of that.) My latest for The Guardian www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

I have now been in office longer than Liz Truss. Feeling a bit like an underachiever as I haven’t sacked a Chancellor, crashed the economy or doubled everyone’s mortgage.

10,000 homes on ex-military bases were never built A deal to build houses at seven sites across England was quietly shelved, the BBC can reveal.

For years the housing crisis has been down to government policies, not migration. There are thousands of vacant properties, building targets have been missed for years. If we spent money we do on deterrents, detention, and deportations on housing we could help everyone

The family of ANOTHER young woman with severe ME are scared their daughter is going to DIE in an NHS hospital After public outcry & media coverage over #BringMillieHome, the NHS is now abusing another young woman, Carla, who lives with severe ME

As of 2pm today (16 April), Carla who has V Severe ME was unconscious for 24 hours. Her care is being led by Psychiatry and they have not got other specialisms such as neurology or cardiology involved but she’s showing signs of severe glutamate exitotoxicity. t.co/VlMDU0WVW3

Imbalanced Brain Neurochemicals in long COVID and ME/CFS: A Preliminary Study using MRI - PubMed Our study identified significantly elevated Glutamate and N-acetyl-aspartate levels in long COVID and ME/CFS patients compared with healthy controls. No significant differences in brain neurochemicals...

Glutamate has been shown to be elevated in the brains of pwME (and Long Covid) via MRS and high glutamate levels shift the CNS towards seizure and sensory sensitivity; Carla’s seizures are being triggered by light and sound which the psychiatrist is worsening by opening windows. t.co/jh43Iv7Jyn

Very, very interesting thread on ‘the anaemia of infection’:

Thank you for thinking about us; we are thinking about you too! Our storms are nothing compared to what you’re going through, of course, so I feel really moved by this. I hope you’re okay ❤️

Coworker saying, "It doesn't matter who wins, neither will make life any better." And it reminds me that the real end game of GOP dysfunction, gumming up passing of bills, disorder, double-speak etc. is this: to convince voters that democracy doesn't work, and fascism will at least "get things done"

Have you heard the song on Ren’s latest album? In the final verse, he talks about losing his friend to suicide; but up to that point, the song seems to be about his own ideations. It’s a beautiful, heart wrenching song, and a good discussion-starter.

The world has forgotten and doesn't really care about the ecocide caused by russians in Ukraine.

Eco-activists are still busy fighting oil paintings and plastic bags, while we here lost a region to flood then desert, have our seas dying and soil polluted by munitions and oil.

A cocktail of toxins is poisoning our fields. Its effect on humans? Nobody can tell us | George Monb... Many of the chemicals being spread as sewage sludge are untested or can’t be assessed. That’s why I’m suing for answers, says Guardian columnist George Monbiot

It's a truly jaw-dropping and shocking scandal, that few people have heard of: chemical wastes are now being deliberately mixed with sewage, then spread on our fields. The impacts on people and ecosystems? No one knows. This week's column. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Thought I’d give it a go here since X is now on fire. Apologies if I still smell of smoke.

I think they’ll put Morduant in the driving seat just a couple of months before the election. And then paint themselves as a restored party. And some people will fall for it because she ‘did such a good job at the coronation’.
