Met chief ‘will not resign’ over ‘vile’ BBC footage of toxic police culture Mark Rowley says Met is dealing with misogynist and racist officers who undermine force and ‘want him out’

Police can not be reformed.

Regular Covid vaccinations needed to reduce cardiac risks Regular Covid vaccinations are needed to reduce associated cardiac risks, experts at the European Cardiology Society have concluded.

Why isn’t everyone being offered vaccines urgently given COVID can cause vascular damage. Young people are facing vascular damage and their long term health is at risk. Why the apathy? www.pulsetoday.co.uk/news/clinica...

Have Reform UK bottled BBC Question Time?

It’s in Belfast tomorrow. Wonder if it has anything to do with them wanting to leave the ECHR and the Good Friday Agreement…

Exactly what we need: careful, considered, funny intelligence squaring up to our catastrophic, deadly, age of stupid (with Arendt's help).

Excellent piece @will-davies.bsky.social

Just fuck off with this. How about start the conversation by highlighting how much immigrants contribute to the UK - not least by propping up the NHS and social care system!

Also - forced volunteering is not volunteering, it's unpaid labour.

When will the media wake up and admit that Farage’s Reform UK and Tommy Robinson’s marches are the greatest far-right threat we have faced? The NF and BNP pale beside them. Griffin was treated as persona non grata; these two are ushered onto the red carpet. @news.sky.com @bbcnewsnight.bsky.social

There is no centre.

Liberalism cannot answer fascism.

Liberalism has. *produced* fascism.

Only a radical anticapitalist transformation of society can save the world.

Reform’s plan to strip indefinite leave to remain and force out hundreds of thousands is not “tough on immigration,” it’s remigration — NF/BNP politics. Retrospective tearing up rights for people already settled here is authoritarian, racist, and a direct threat to democracy. #Farage #ReformUK

Last night, @ITV screened a must watch program about the staggering incompetence and corruption relating to Covid . If you add in the loss of the Covid loan scheme, it could reach a STAGGERING £200 BILLION
But there's another far more important number

Farage, Tice, Yusuf, none of them are in this for public service. Farage fattens his brand and media gigs, Tice protects his property interests, Yusuf plays the technocrat angling for a Stephen Miller-style career. The country gets division; they get power and profit. #ReformUK #Farage

Trump officials reportedly set to tie Tylenol to autism risk Washington Post says announcement imminent despite guidelines showing drug – known as paracetamol elsewhere - is safe for pregnant women to take

I find the politicisation of autism spectrum disorder extremely troubling. Paracetamol or Tylenol as it is called in States should not be touted as a cause of ASD before anyone has scrutinised the data they allege will show this. 🧪🧵

Not happy with cutting illegal migration he wants to spilt families, distance long time friends. Now he is going after legal migrants. No thought to the impacts on children or gaps in our NHS. These are our friends! Expect pushback from many of us.

Whether paracetamol, the Vee word, or any other tenuous 💩 RFK & eejits decide causes #Autism, they have one thing in common.

They lay the blame firmly at the parent's door. Just unbelievably cruel.

It's a complex, polygenic, largely unpredictable syndrome. Fact.

Deaths are ongoing due to vaccine restrictions/antivirals etc
Lack of mitigations for airborne transmission. The incorrect guidance has been in place for over 5 years now.
Incorrect PPE in healthcare.

Last night, it seems a fascist came to tea with the King. And our government, instead of drawing a big red line, chose to pander to this lunatic.
