Just booked mine privately as I'm not eligible for a free one. I'm fortunate that I can afford it, and I'm getting it because I don't want to get even sicker for longer.
We need a comprehensive vaccination programme across the UK which gives everyone fair and equal access to protect each other.

Thank you @bmj.com for this useful fact check.
Trump’s claims on Tylenol (paracetamol), vaccines, and autism—what’s the truth? www.bmj.com/content/390/...
Terrible news about the attack on the Manchester synagogue. Thinking of those who lost loved ones or whose loved ones are injured.
Especially to attack on Yom Kippur, such an important day in the Jewish calendar.
Great to see @theguardian.com taking up the baton on academic fraud after my @livescience.com op-ed!

(PS: more sophisticated understandings of plants as living typically develop during the preschool years.)
Babies begin distinguishing between animate and inanimate objects as early as four months. At least in very basic ways.

is absolutely nothing wrong with asking media, all media to tell the truth and making laws to make sure they do. they are free to speak on anything, long as it's provable truth with sources. US used to have these laws and they worked and were fine.

📢 I've decided to do regular 2-3 mins video updates of latest authoritarian antics of Trump administration on YouTube & TikTok.
Have been inspired by reading how many people get their news there and how dominated it is by the right.

Steve Richards: This was the best speech Starmer has delivered to a Labour conference. The words sounded as if they were written by him. That authentic voice was urgently needed after Starmer spoke of an “island of strangers” only to disown the phrase.

“50% of FE lecturers leave within three years. In HE, 15,000 redundancies are looming.
If Labour are serious, we need commitments: close the pay gap, stop the cuts, and invest in education.
Otherwise today’s speech is hollow.” @drjogrady.bsky.social on

Some honesty at last
Labour MP blames Brexit for Rachel Reeves’ tax-hiking Budget last Oct, adding that he hopes Britain rejoins the EU in his lifetime.
Andrew Lewin said leaving EU left Britain £40bn poorer per year, adding that “were we still members… there would not have been a single tax rise”
Yes. Where is the official enquiry into how much personal and political gain accrued to the politicians involved in this process? And what role did Brexit play? Yet again, a la Ghislaine Maxwell, we seem to have a woman set up as the fall guy in a corrupt game principally played by men.

"In a study taking data from across the USA, children and adolescents were found to have double the risk of developing long COVID after their second infection with SARS-CoV-2"
Timely study given the current #CovidInquiry module is focussed on children.

⚖️ But it doesn’t stop with Baroness Mone. When will the ministers who referred their cronies onto the VIP Lane face consequences?

Graphic which reads "Mayor of London / It was predicted to take 193 years to meet legal limits for air pollution in London/ We did it in 9"
I remember being told that it would take 193 years to reach legal limits for nitrogen dioxide.
I decided this was unacceptable.
Thanks to the bold policies we put in place, we've managed to do it in nine years - 184 years earlier than expected.

Not only is RFKjr spreading disinformation about vaccines, infection & health but advertising for flu/covid vaccines and support for clinical teams to address questions re vaccines is not happening either. ie disproportionately negative vaccine messages dominate which likely will reduce uptake
01.10.2025 07:23 — 👍 14 🔁 8 💬 0 📌 0So the fraudster Michelle Mone is not even showing any contrition? Shame on her.
Rachel Reeves is right - it was a manifesto pledge that Labour would pursue the grifters who falsely made millions from the pandemic.
Mone should regard herself (I hope) as the first of many.
Lady Michelle Mone @MichelleMone Breaking News: Rachel Reeves Confirms Government Vendetta Against Baroness Michelle Mone OBE Today, The Telegraph reported that at a fringe event at the Labour Party Conference, Rachel Reeves openly confirmed that the Government does indeed have a vendetta against me. When asked directly, she replied: “Too right we do.” Rachel, thank you for confirming what Doug and I have long believed. Your comment will now be passed to our legal team, who will find it highly useful in establishing the Government’s bias and position against us. But let me be clear: such reckless words have consequences. Since this remark, my social media has been flooded with threats and messages of abuse from keyboard warriors. Do you really understand the implications of your actions and the hatred they incite? Shame on you. I suggest you should report yourself to the Commissioner for Parliamentary Standards for improper conduct and behaviour that is not worthy of the high office you hold as Chancellor of the Exchequer. I also call on the Prime Minister to issue a formal apology to me. And Rachel, a word of advice: stick to the day job and try to do it better. Your first 15 months in office have been a disgrace. You have misled the British people about growth-inhibiting tax rises that were never in the Labour manifesto. Your legacy is already steering the UK toward stagflation, no growth, high inflation, and a return to the failures of Labour in the 1970s. Perhaps keep the IMF’s number on speed dial. @RachelReevesMP @10DowningStreet @Keir_Starmer 8:58 PM · Sep 30, 2025 · 27.7K Views
People like Mone are surrounded by a coterie of fluffers whose living depends on "yes". Any "no" is an outrage. Criticism filtered. Facts blended and extruded as potato smileys. Similar to The Dictator's Dilemma, soon, they lose touch with reality.
The bunker is always last to know the war is lost.
