Does anyone stop to think about why some people are gaining (unhealthy) weight, and possible preventative measures, such as active travel?

Palantir. This is one of the most evil things I’ve seen recently. Labour are going to harm a lot of sick and disabled people.

You can tell that the Green Party are actually offering change, because every major political party and all the billionaire media have come out to attack them.
That is a party you should vote for.
One the rich establishment hate.

As with Badenoch, Braverman, and Mahmood, who are all using their own ethnicity to pretend they are not promulgating racist policies, Zia Yusuf is toying with forces he clearly does not understand, & will never be able to control.
He needs to read a little more history.

'FROM THE OLYMPICS TO NASA, WEARING MASKS IS BACK - EXCEPT IN HEALTHCARE
Brilliant article on how masking is increasingly popular with Olympic athletes, actors & astronauts wanting to avoid illness…
…but sadly, in hospitals, masking is rare & those who do are often gaslit.'

“Labour were voted in under the promise of change, but things have changed for the worse. They’ve shifted away from working people and working-class communities.”
Hannah Spencer on why the Greens offer a distinct alternative in Gorton and Denton, on Pod Save the UK.
In the case of a restricted bus stop or stand, the No Waiting bylaw applies. The driver must be in attendance, to demonstrate that the vehicle has broken down and cannot be moved under its own power.

The latest measles figures in London and Birmingham are deeply worrying.
Low vaccination rates leave children exposed. Instead of blaming parents, we must make jabs easy to access and ensure families can talk through concerns with trusted health professionals.

Other than introducing great food, art, music & fashion, super-charging economic growth, filling skills gaps, strengthening public finances through taxes, establishing global businesses, employing countless workers, & diversifying our high streets, what have immigrants ever done for us...?
17.02.2026 21:50 — 👍 27 🔁 9 💬 6 📌 1Tied Labour visas inevitably lead to exploitation because exploited workers cannot escape bad employers without losing their visa rights. It’s a Brexshit “benefit” in contrast to the freedom of movement & employment from which workers coming from other EU states benefited.
