Multilayered protections for everyone. Yearning for the days when public health protected public health.

This is how it's done.

Covid is the TB of the 21st century. One of my friends died from long covid she wasn’t even middle aged. Our government is failing to act.

Tweet from Paula Scanlan that reads, "the number of people I still see wearing face masks in the year 2026 is genuinely concerning"

Tweet from Jerome Adams that reads, "Why do you care?  Honestly asking. I thought the original mantra was β€œto each their own.” It sounds like you’re wanting to impose your priorities/belief systems on others while saying they shouldn’t impose theirs on you? What am I missing?

Also, beyond Covid – many people have found wearing a mask, has lowered their allergy symptoms- and pollen counts are rising this time of year. And Asian cultures have worn masks for years – are you bothered by Asians? Again honestly asking.  πŸ€·πŸ½β€β™‚οΈ"

Indeed but the government needs to act on informing on post infection risks: blood clots, heart damage, lung damage, immune damage. This isn’t happening. We are only hearing about β€˜mild symptoms’ not risks lasting 3 or more years.

The latest BMJ report talks about COVID β€˜β€œa vascular virus masquerading as a respiratory one’. The European Society of Cardiologist has also said we need vaccines because heart damage β€˜becoming more common’.

Labour just announced energy price cap dropped.
Oil just spiked, completely undoing that.
Given 50% of UK energy is from renewables, now is the time to renationalise and drop the dumbass marginal price system that makes green energy needlessly as expensive as gas.

Once more for those at the back: it's NOT lockdowns, school closures, reduced social interaction, & increased family stress that affected children’s self-regulation & other executive skills.

Zack’s response to Shabana Mahmood.
My friend sent this to me an hour ago. She said
β€œThis is why I will vote for the Greens. They have a moral compass of hope.”

I wholeheartedly agree.
Life’s difficult enough without a politician in the government advocating cruelty and marginalisation

It’s always one rule for us, another for them with Farage & Co.

Reform party staff can work from

Nigel Farage can have a postal vote, but says YOU can’t.

'Nasty and violent' Kent councillor jailed for coercive behaviour Ex-Reform UK councillor for Cliftonville, Daniel Taylor, receives a prison term and loses his seat.

Missed this while I was off. A Kent county councillor (elected for Reform) has been sentenced to 12 months in prison after admitting controlling & coercive behaviour.

There's a by-election next month in his seat, and it looks like another Green/Reform/Labour fight...
