Johnson missed the vital February COBRA COVID meetings because he was locked away at Chequers writing his awful book after missing a publisher's deadline.

As the so-called leader of the country in a time of crisis, his main priority was fulfilling a private contract.

Wanker.

Was at Oxford Station once during a power cut (no trains) and asked the Help Desk for info. They told me they didn't want to tell anyone anything in case people started panicking. OK, perhaps not the exact words, but the meaning was the same. 🤣 I got in a taxi with 6 others for a 60-mile trip home

The Telegraph is the printed version of some old bloke ranting.

COVID is not a seasonal virus. It circulates all-year-round.

The Epstein Money Laundering Coverup Eighteen thousand emails from Jeffrey Epstein’s Yahoo account reveal a 2007 federal money-laundering investigation.

18,000 released emails from Jeffrey Epstein’s personal Yahoo account confirm that prosecutors opened a money-laundering investigation running parallel to the #Epstein rape trafficking.

It was shut down by US officials to prevent exposure of major institutions and individuals. #OpDeathEaters #3E 🧵

The BBC needs to get to grips with "balance" - artificially amplifying fringe or simply incorrect views as opinion, just to counter the mainstream, has caused enormous damage.

Interviewers need to confront and expose liars, and not just nod and move on.

The UK is not the destination of choice for asylum seekers in Europe. It is behind Germany & France and is 17th, or 5th at a stretch, of 28

How much longer is the @royalsociety.org going to look away from the devastating actions of its honoured fellow, Elon Musk?

Such moral cowardice.

Forgiven 😀 I'm a sucker for a lovely puppy 😍

Dear GOD if you want to save money in the asylum system

1. LET ASYLUM SEEKERS WORK

2. FAST TRACK STATUS FOR EVERYONE FROM CLEARLY UNDAFE COUNTRIES like Sudan, Syria, etc

3. Run an asylum accommodation system that is NOT FOR PROFIT #r4today

Hold on, please! I'm a scientist by training. @profaliceroberts.bsky.social is a scientist. We're not all mad scientists. Most scientists do good things, and we'd rather not get put into the same group as the ones who don't. Thank you 😊

Public Health To Drop ‘Health’ And ‘Public’

Two 3D-imaged mice comparing how SARS-CoV-2 and influenza spread through the body. The left image, labeled Spike S1, shows red fluorescent signals across many organs, indicating that SARS-CoV-2 propagated widely throughout the body. The right image, labeled Influenza HA, shows red signals largely limited to the lungs and liver, demonstrating influenza’s more localized infection pattern. The figure caption notes that SARS-CoV-2 affects multiple organs, unlike influenza.

Nigel Farage, whose party recently put a teenager with zero work experience of any kind, in charge of running an entire county, is currently giving a speech railing against "unqualified" politicians being put in charge of Government departments

I'm finding it increasingly difficult to understand people these days 😕

I think some people want the human rights of immigrants taken taken away from them, but then don't realise that their own would be too. (They're unable to think logically for themselves and just believe what the right-wing press say.)

Farage & Reform are the cause of this with their racism about anyone who doesn’t have white skin or are foreign, not belonging in our country

Everyone deserves to be here, to do their jobs & live in peace without having racial hate.

STAND AGAINST RACISM

The virus just got more insidious. Like HIV, it can be completely asymptomatic and then kill you in 5-10 years.

Sometimes it’s longer.

The fact that people aren’t masking and/or using air cleaners with all of the evidence pointing to really bad outcomes from repeated infections drives me bonkers.

"The reason why the reactionary right hate the ECHR is because it gives ordinary citizens the right against the secretive and authoritarian state that they want."

I hope that doctors who currently refuse treatment to menopause symptom sufferers are re-trained ASAP. The symptoms can be really debilitating, but if you're not menopausal you may not realise how debilitating. Perhaps they should just try to survive on 2 hours sleep per day, see how they feel?

COVID-19 vaccines may help some cancer patients fight tumours The most widely used COVID-19 vaccines may offer a surprise benefit for some cancer patients – revving up their immune systems to help fight tumours.

Covid vaccines were already incredible:
- reducing the risk of severe disease and death from covid
- appearing to cut the risk of long-covid in half (as long as vaccine was within approximately 5-6 months of infection)

Now, they might help fight existing cancers:

You think if Keir Starmer had been cultivated by this woman, there would be tumbleweed across entire UK media?!?
