They should be more concerned about these other shots publichealth.jhu.edu/2024/guns-re...

Whatever happened to the Russia report that Boris was sitting on? Did it ever see the light of day?

😂

This is hilarious! I hear it so often. The evil mysterious secret 'they' ...just look on the Forbes 100 rich list to start with 😂😂😂 The military-industrial complex....again not secret. Their ability to deflect is staggering, over there...immigrants...no, over there, Russia, no, China, NO IMMIGRANTS!

#flavourtalk2026 | Craig Duckham Ever wondered what drives the food trends that we see change every couple of years? Perhaps it is new holiday destinations, the nostalgia of Gen X, and Millennials or the Gen Z focus on health, sustai...

Horrifying

Graphic with Senator Warren asking: Is it consistent with the First Amendment for DOD to revoke a reporter’s press credentials for publishing a story that’s critical of President Trump? DoD official responds: Yes... If the basis was that the person published information that was not otherwise approved for release by the Department. Senator Warren Responds: Whoa.

Trump’s nominee to be the Army’s lawyer is confused about the First Amendment.

Independent journalists must be free to report the facts without fear of retaliation.

If we're sending troops to war under false pretenses, Americans have a right to know.

This is very true and quite shocking. The majority take for granted the benefits we see from better nutrition, healthier environment, safer workplace and vaccines. They ignore how quickly we could lose it, but you can see those prematurely aged faces and stooped postures in poor UK areas today.

Well it couldn't be clearer, if we want to become a Trumpian failed state we just vote Jenrick, or anyone in RefHARM. I assume the tories have at least one humane being amongst the current shower...? Please stand up Slim Shady😉

I should tell you about my favourite subject...Flavour, or Flavor 😉 and the FlavourTalk Conference I am organising next year. The Psychology of Flavour- check out the programme here www.flavourhorizons.com/conference-2...

Wouldn't it be nice if the Home Secretary focused on what had triggered the persistent protests and say, "did we get this wrong, maybe we should have another look at it?" Criminalising protest doesn't make the bad policy any better! 🙉🙈🙊

How can the most powerful, most wealthy, country in the world fail so badly. Clearly, there is a fine line between strength and weakness, but currently, the word that comes to mind that describes the current USA gov is INCOMPETENT! So much childlike finger pointing. Ridiculous.

One could argue that they have already had 10 to 20 years of leniency...they seem to have used that to siphon off billions to shareholders and the board.

I had a treat yesterday evening. Only the second time I have seen a hummingbird hawkmoth at close range.

Ha ha ha ha...sadly not really funny at all. Sending good vibes from across the pond where we are on the verg of our own apocalyptic error of judgement.

Sigh...instead of dealing with child poverty and climate emergency, I know, let's have ID Cards 💡 Another bright idea from Starmer!

Death rates rose in hospital ERs after private equity firms took over, study finds The increased deaths in emergency departments at private equity-owned hospitals are most likely the result of reduced staffing levels, researchers say.

Curse of private equity.

After US hospitals were acquired by private equity firms, patient death rates in the emergency depts rose by 13% compared with similar hospitals.

PE cut staffing, wages, investment; hiked profits.

People killed for profit.

Yet UK handing healthcare to PE.

The Covid Contracts: Follow the Money review – a devastating picture of the biggest spending scandal ever This rigorous look at the Tories’ ‘VIP lane’ for PPE suppliers during Covid raises questions about the motivations of those involved – ones that are almost too disgusting to contemplate

A hugely underreported scandal.

Those responsible still not adequately held to account.

An important, but infuriating watch.

Fears of new PFI-style ‘disaster’ as firms handed £6m to advise on using private funds for NHS clinics Exclusive: Consultants and lawyers hired to advise on using public-private partnerships to build ‘neighbourhood health centres’ in England

The PFI disaster

Wes Streeting readies more of the NHS for privatisation. Hands £6m to advisers.

NHS will be a shell doling out contracts to private equity and corporations. Profits guaranteed.

Money will buy less. Higher taxes, lower value.

Say NO to privatisation of the NHS.

In a UN speech today, President Trump said that "all of these [climate] predictions were wrong".

Back in 2019 I led a research effort to digitize old climate model projections and assess how well they did. Turns out they got future warming pretty spot on!

@cyclingnews.com Can there be a campaign that reminds our cycling community that it is not OK to discard litter on the roadside outside organised events? Some poor local residents have to clear it up afterwards. It gives all cyclists a bad name.

Reform's plan for a benefit clampdown Sir, Regarding Reform's plan to ban foreigners from claiming benefits ("Farage visas would make it harder to settle in the UK", news, Sep 22; "Time's Up", leading article, Sep 23), in my small company for the past ten years we have employed, on a yearly average, 32 eastern European people, two of them in senior management positions. They all pay British taxes and have had little or no unexplained absences to date. Sick leave for them is extremely low. As far as I am aware, none of them is claiming benefits for dependants. These diligent people provide compassionate care for their clients, living with them for a few weeks at a time. During the pandemic they were responsible for ensuring zero transmission of the virus to people in their care. I feel utterly ashamed that many of them will be reading about Nigel Farage's plan on their various social media platforms this morning. Chrstina Sell Managing director, Arbour

Our politics and media have become viciously obsessed with immigration. Farage has made sure of it. And in that obsession, they’ve all lost sight of the people they target. Fellow human beings trying to live and belong somewhere.
Shame on everyone responsible for this daily inhumanity

The even more unbelievable crime fact (which I learned relatively recently) is that burglary has fallen by more than 90% since the 1990s.

Did anyone notice? Nope. Does anyone believe it? Nope. But is is true? It is!

Small boats: TV coverage - day after day after day after day....

PPE scandal: TV coverage - let's stick this powerful, enraging documentary on at quarter past ten on a Sunday night.

It wasn't really dealt with in the programme, but I believe the same thing happened with ventilators.

If you’ve just watched our documentary on ITV “The Covid Contracts” and want to read more about the governments unlawful VIP lane do consider buying my latest book 👇
