Pharmacies facing angry patients over Covid jab confusion Up to half of patients coming to some pharmacies are being turned away because they are not eligible.

Unsurprising.

Can anyone explain why JCVI recommendations for #covid booster this autumn different from Canada’s where 65+ & health & care staff still eligible unlike in NHS?

If British Jews are attacked, respect our dignity – and keep your agendas to yourself | Keith Kahn-Harris I dread the cacophony from right and left on how we should react to antisemitism. What’s important is supporting our survival as a community in the UK

Well, it took longer than many of us expected, but in the end it happened. Let's try and not turn the horror in Manchester into an opportunity to advance any and every agenda.

This morning, the Covid Inquiry began hearings on the impact of the pandemic on young people.

Our thousands of members include parents who lost children and children who lost parents.

But the Inquiry has chosen to silence those voices by denying us core participant status.

Ordinary humans do make a difference. Charlotte Hennessey is you or me. Because of her relentless Hillsborough campaigning, & willingness to form a coalition with other campaigns against state sanctioned violence & coverups, she got to take a national stage. As @cbffjuk.bsky.social proud to stand.

Why aren’t Labour talking about the risk to families living in Britains most deprived communities? If you are a single parent mum, who can’t afford to take time off work and rest, you have a 3 factor risk of #LongCovid

Poverty and disease have always gone hand in hand. @ashleydaltonmp.bsky.social

Today is a monumental day and I am so proud to be part of the coalition of campaign groups that have helped to make this happen. The culture of state cover ups must end.

Today, after decades of campaigning by the families of the 97 people unlawfully killed at the Hillsborough Football Disaster, the government will introduce the Hillsborough Law to Parliament.

The families have campaigned tirelessly to ensure future families don’t face the same injustice.

What do we know about the Covid-19 virus five years on? As the virus continues to evolve, experts assess its latest variants, seasonal prevalence and levels of vaccine uptake

"Whereas a small change in transmissibility conditions is enough to stop flu in summer, Sars-CoV-2 can basically evolve its way over this barrier" – I spoke to The Guardian about why COVID doesn't seem that constrained by season: www.theguardian.com/world/2025/a...

Prof Susan Hopkins #covidinquiry says this guidance was β€˜clunky language’.

No: it provided false & deadly reassurance to care providers.

1000’s of care home residents, staff & those receiving home care died, including my mum.

Thank you Alasdair Donaldson for continuing to support research into impact of covid on care homes despite Govt trying to stop it.

Research showed death rates much higher than official figures.

During the pandemic, Susan Lyons was asked to sign a 'do not resuscitate' order for her daughter, Sarah.

Sarah was in her 20s and received care due to epilepsy and learning disabilities.

Susan spoke about her experience at Covid Inquiry, on behalf of John's Campaign ⬇️
