This is what happened to a man in the USA who dared to get Cancer.

Health Insurance doesn't cover you when you get sick or old or are disabled.

It just covers people who don't use it.

Petition: Limit the sale of fireworks to those running local council approved events only Ban the sale of fireworks to the general public to minimise the harm caused to vulnerable people and animals. Defenceless animals can die from the distress caused by fireworks. I believe that…

Please get behind this Govt petition! Limit the sale of fireworks to those running local council approved events only

Today (date), the Slender-billed Curlew was declared extinct. The first bird extinction on mainland Europe in 500 years β€” on our watch. Extinction is final. No going back. Think about that.

The parliamentary register of interests shows that Farage has made nearly Β£400,000 from GB News since August 2024, for c190 hours’ work. This suggests he is being paid more than Β£2,000 an hour by the news channel. All paid to Thorn In The Side Ltd owned solely by Farage

25% tax rather than HR

Angela Rayner accidentally pays less tax than she should have, resigns, and the media gives her hell.

Nigel Farage deliberately pays less tax than he should have, and the media gives him a free pass.

That, right there, is the problem.

Re SaltPath scandal. It seems I was wrong to accept the theory of a fraudulent illness.
However, the pain caused by the publicity claiming even a partial 'cure' for those suffering typical CBD is very real. Such topics need to be handled with delicacy.

This is possible. Consultant told us it can only be definitively diagnosed in autopsy. The clear brain scan claim from the article is suspicious - all my mum's scans have been clear.

Absolutely. And the idea of his being 'cured' is desperately painful to those whose condition worsens every day.

CBD can only be definitively diagnosed by examining the brain after death. Currently only an assumption based on symptoms. My mum has it and needs 24-hour care- 2 years after diagnosis.

Indeed perhaps he is just lucky - it is an unpredictable condition. I would not wish it on anyone.

The condition can manifest in different ways so he may just be lucky. But these kind of redemption narratives can be painful to those who must contine to suffer. Thank you for your understanding.

The real Salt Path: how the couple behind a bestseller le... Penniless and homeless, the Winns found fame and fortune with the story of their 630-mile walk to salvation. We can reveal it was far from the truth

Penniless and homeless, Raynor and Moth Winn found fame with their story of their 630-mile walk to salvation. The Salt Path became a global bestseller and was adapted into a major film.

But we can reveal it wasn’t the whole truth.

My mum has CBD. Diagnosed 2 years ago, she now needs 24-hour care.

When I told the PSPA I was suspicious at the story, they said 'Moth' had good days and bad days.

Such a fraud is also against the charity and people whose lives have been destroyed by a terrible illness.

Government revives family services, supporting 500,000 more kids Up to 1,000 Best Start Family Hubs to be rolled out across the country to provide wide-ranging help for families, such as parenting and early development.

Sure Start is coming back.

The Labour government is to open 1000 Best Start Family Hubs covering every local authority. The first will be in place by April 2026 & all by 2028.

They will combine existing Family Hubs & the Start for Life programme & also cover areas without these services.

My mum has CBD. Diagnosed 2 years ago, she now has trouble speaking, walking or using her hands. It does not get better.

This story made my mum feel like she was doing something wrong because how could 'Moth' get better when she couldn't?

If it is a fraud, it is a horrendous and cruel one.

Just some creepy armed Mad Max guys trying to gain entry to Dodgers Stadium.

ICE says it wasn’t them. DHS says they were Border Patrol. But honestly who the hell knows? They’ve given permission for any psycho to put on a ski mask, point a gun, grab people & throw them into an unmarked vehicle.

'Why the PIP cuts will push disabled people OUT of work' Disabled benefit is being cut to "encourage" the sick into work, says Fleet Street Fox. It will have the opposite effect

β€œIf you become disabled before next April, you'll get Β£13.85 a day to pay for someone to help. If you become disabled on May 1, you'll get Β£7.14 a day. What was insufficient will become farcical”

This is phenomenal.

Sea surface temperatures are >5C above average to the west of the UK and around Iceland. It's the strongest area of anomalous warmth on the planet at the moment.

It's the warmest in recorded history for northwest Europe.
