On Monday, the Covid Inquiry begins hearings on the impact of the pandemic on children.
Children were killed by Covid. Many were left bereaved. A generation lost parents, had their education torn apart, and grew up with trauma.
The Inquiry must deliver for them.

When you are being asked about the lie regarding the "protective ring" resulting in the deaths of thousands of care home residents, it's not a good look to attack their bereaved families.
I look forward to you recanting the statement and issuing us all an apology
❤️❤️❤️

How will he lie and deflect when he gives evidence again today?

29.06.2025 06:42 — 👍 0 🔁 0 💬 0 📌 0At least that’s what BBC Radio 4 news is telling me. The chants were top of the news bulletin. The deaths, once again, were not.
29.06.2025 06:13 — 👍 1 🔁 0 💬 1 📌 0So apparently it’s ok to kill hundreds of civilian men, women and children to “reach your goals in Gaza” but it’s not okay to stand on the stage at a pop concert and wish death on the soldiers who are doing this?

If you have watched the NETFLIX documentary #GrenfellUncovered.
I’ve been studying the tragedy since 4am on that fateful June morning from the point of view of a construction professional.
Happy to answer any questions to the best of my ability.

In an anti immigration rant, instead of acknowledging that the NHS would collapse without foreign workers who are 19% of the NHS work force
Nigel Farage flips the script and says we should be ashamed of hiring foreign workers
When actually, we should be grateful for these immigrants
A very simple diagram showing radar, a chaff cloud, a confused missile and an airplane. The confused missile is aiking for the chaff cloud and not the airplane.
THE CHAFF PROJECT
Hi! Are you cis in the UK and you'd like to support trans rights? Great!
How: buy a trans flag pin and wear it in public.
Why: chaff is an overwhelming amount of false positives so that when a missile gets close to the plane, it hits the chaff and not the plane.
Been wearing various for a while. Whenever I’m in public

No, the tariffs are a tool to collapse our democracy. A means to compel loyalty from every business that will need to petition Trump for relief.

This is absolutely hilarious.
Russell Brand shares fake redacted file claiming that Penelope Keith shot JFK.
Clearly didn't read it.
Mind you, it's no madder than some of the other theories.
