Screenshot of a CNN segment shared by Acyn. A split-screen shows commentator Lydia Moynihan on the left and Kevin O’Leary on the right during a heated exchange. The chyron reads, “Obama: Dems need to avoid scolding and ‘virtue-signaling.’” The post quotes O’Leary referencing China and concentration camps, and McGowan responding about West Virginia.

I spent my childhood inside of American concentration camps. I know one when I see one. And that is what ICE is building.

🧵What is going on with Measles in England?

UKHSA has reported 96 confirmed measles cases since 1 Jan 2026, concentrated in London (64% of cases) and the West Midlands (26% of cases).

But what does this all mean? Is 96 a lot? Why is it happening? And what can we do about it? 1/8

Reform distances itself from doctor who made Covid claims at conference A speaker at the Reform UK conference claimed it was "highly likely" that the jab was linked to the King and Princess of Wales' cancers.

We don’t need US antiscience in the UK! #KeepMAHAOut

🧵Reform are platforming antivaxxer Aseem Malhotra. Links to antivaxxer groups interfering in UK and US health policy have been entwined since the beginning of the Pandemic.

ALSO - if you missed out on your childhood measles vaccine and haven't had measles, you can get *free* MMR vaccination from your GP! (whether as an older child, teenager or adult).

I got my MMR about 10 years ago!

So not upsetting the anti 💉is more important than protecting our young. What a world we’re living in. Nobody questioned it💉were just a part of starting school. I even remember my mum telling me, when as a teen, I didn’t want a 💉, that we had a responsibility to protect those who couldn’t have them.

It says a lot abiut the intellectual heft of Farage fans that 13% of them want to reverse his only policy achievement.

Robert Lowe’s challenge is real: Do we want a politics of care, or of hate? A commentator here drew my attention last night to a new policy paper from the Restore Britain group that has been launched by former Reform MP Robert Lowe, who now sits as an independent MP for Great...

This is probably one of the most important pieces I have ever written. Robert Lowe MP is proposing the forced expulsion of millions of people from the UK. Full-on fascism is being put before people. We have to decide. Do we want a politics of care, or of hate? www.taxresearch.org.uk/Blog/2026/02...

Actually, in my grown-up children’s time too.

In my time, you couldn’t enter Reception at primary school unless you’d had your vaccinations. I’m presuming this has changed.

In the past 45 years there have only been 13 cases where the ECHR have prevented someone from being deported.

We’ve had a number of posties recently. All of them amazing, hard-working and with many years service. The change has been because they left, unable to hack it any more. More and more put upon. The current one had cancer recently. Supposed to have a phased return. Instead asked to do overtime

He should have had to tackle sums with pounds, shillings and pence in primary school. He would never have coped.
