Post by Sarah Pochin MP (Reform, Runcorn & Helsby) on the social media platform formerly known as "Twitter". "A well-attended Carol service at St Michael's Church, Cornhill, for the launch of Christian Fellowship for Reform UK. A special thanks to the outstanding choir for their wonderful performance, & to Reverend Henry Eatock-Taylor for delivering a brave sermon about the very real prospect of Christmas being "cancelled" by the woke liberati." Beneath the text are four photos of the launch event, featuring Sarah Pochin in a white suit & other members of her far right Christian Nationalist movement.

Apparently our MP thinks there is a "very real prospect of Christmas being 'cancelled' by the woke liberati." 🤯🤣

The influence of Lisa Ritchie on national infection control continues to risk Clinically Vulnerable lives.

@teamlabouruk.bsky.social she MUST go!

In reality, wearing a mask is a brave as well as a compassionate act, in a culture in which ignorant bullies have stigmatised masking as a sign of vulnerability, & coerced others into complicity with their systematic cruelty towards outsiders & vulnerable people.

Dear David, We are writing to express our concern about eight prisoners who took action in solidarity with Palestine in August 2024. Amu Gib, Qesser Zuhrah, Heba Muraisi, Jon Cink, Teuta Hoxha, Kamran Ahmed, Muhammad Umer Khalid and Lewie Chiaramello are all being held on remand: none has been convicted. They are all on hunger strike, some since 2 November, in protest at their prolonged pre-trial imprisonment, censorship of communications and alleged mistreatment in custody. We share concerns about the length of time they have been detained without trial. Some of the protestors have already been imprisoned for over a year and we note the assessment by UN human rights experts that terrorism powers were misused to circumvent normal legal protections, with this being a potential cause of excessively long pre-charge detention (ref). We are also worried by reports about their treatment and support the call on you made in Early Day Motion 2386 (ref) to intervene urgently to ensure their treatment is humane and their human rights are upheld. To that end, would you: • ensure the hunger strikers are not denied clinical monitoring or hospital access; • instigate an immediate review of the remand/bail decisions in these cases; • confirm that counter terror powers are not being misapplied to protest activity. These protestors must also be guaranteed their right to a fair trial – the decision since their arrest to proscribe Palestine Action puts this seriously at risk. We would therefore like to know what measures you are putting in place to ensure such a vital cornerstone of our justice system is upheld, both in relation to the charges brought against these specific prisoners and more broadly in relation to offences committed by others acting in solidarity with Palestine. Lastly, we urge you to meet with the families and loved ones of the prisoners on hunger strike – we understand you have not responded yet to representations they have made, and trust you will be o…

Alongside fellow Green MPs and Peers, I have written to the Justice Secretary to express my serious concern about the wellbeing and conditions of the hunger strikers.

Five of the strikers have now been hospitalised - it is clear Lammy must take urgent action to prevent tragedy.

Since Zack said these words on 2nd September, over 110,000 people have joined the Green Party.

Zack Polanski Green Party Leader "People aren’t just supporting the Greens because they’re fed up with the old parties. They’re supporting us because they are starting to be able to imagine a different future. There is renewed belief that politics can be a tool for improving lives rather than managing decline."

Wait till she finds out that compassion towards outsiders & vulnerable people is the bedrock of Christian ethics.

Her perception seems to be that the needs of younger, less vulnerable people are prioritised, & we don't value the lives of elderly people any more. I hope that isn't really true, but some of the far-right narrative in the media really does sound like callous abandonment of the elderly & vulnerable.

‘There were clear warnings’: Readers on the NHS ‘flunami’ crisis Our community says the ‘flunami’ was inevitable – with many arguing that years of underfunding, workforce pressures and rising demand have left the NHS acutely vulnerable to any sudden spike in winter...

"There was broad agreement that action is urgently needed: with readers urging vaccination, mask-wearing, better hygiene and measures to ease pressure on A&E as flu admissions soar."

People love our NHS & want to help.💙

Patients being treated in corridors and in ambulances has become common place. These are people waiting for vital care.

As Chair of @appgemergencycare.bsky.social, I implore leaders to follow recommendations of our report to ensure every patient is treated with dignity.

This is a good idea, but vaccines are not a silver bullet. We need a range of public health measures to stop the spread of airborne infectious diseases like flu, & prevent overwhelming winter pressures recurring annually.

Please tell people ventilation is very important if you don't want your Christmas gathering to be a super-spreader event, & masks are a cheap, effective way to protect yourself, your loved ones & vulnerable strangers.

A fantastic first full council meeting for the new Green and Independent Alliance. We look forward to working closely together in the New Year.

NHS orders hospitals to cut back on treating patients Documents seen by BBC show hospitals being ordered to slow down on activity to help balance the books.

Operations and treatments cut back as NHS orders England hospitals to save money.

Thousands of patients could have to wait longer for treatment.

Misery, premature death to meet arbitrary fiscal rules, appease bond markets, failure to tax the rich.

‘It’s hardly an inconvenience’: your views on wearing a mask to combat flu With a record number of flu patients in hospital, Britons are weighing up the merits of face coverings

Overwhelmingly, people love our NHS 💙 & want to do our bit to help in a crisis.

Things you can do:
✅ Open windows
✅ Get vaccinated if eligible
✅ Wear a mask
✅ Campaign for clean indoor air so we don't have to go through this every winter!

🚫 Labour have turned into a Farage tribute act.

✅️ The Green Party are the only party that will always stand up for refugees and asylum seekers.

Whenever I hear @elliechowns.bsky.social speaking up on immigration I feel this overwhelming sense of gratitude and a deepening resolve to get more Greens elected.

A Green Party graphic titled “Action on Covid and Long Covid.” It calls on the UK Government to follow expert advice and implement measures including: improving air quality in public indoor spaces; ensuring NHS safety for patients and staff; providing free lateral flow tests; offering sick pay for supported isolation; funding research for improved vaccines and treatments; creating a post-viral chronic illness research task force for Long Covid, ME and Chronic Fatigue Syndromes; and delivering a comprehensive, evidence-based vaccination and booster programme. The Green Party logo appears in the top left corner.

The policy:
(These measures work for other airborne diseases too.
Flu can also cause severe chronic post-viral illness as well as acute complications.) @greensagainstcovid.bsky.social @greensorganise.bsky.social

It's almost like voting for a party that listens to public health experts might actually fix this!

Call on MP and Secretary of Justice David Lammy to intervene and protect the hunger strikers Eight prisoners currently held on remand for alleged actions in solidarity with Palestine have been on a hunger strike which began on 2nd November. Their names are Amu Gib, Qesser Zuhrah, Heba Muraisi...

Labour is holding people without trial and ignoring their protests and hunger strike - the behaviour of a brutal authoritarian state

Join me in signing this petition calling on them to intervene and protect the hunger strikers: actionnetwork.org/petitions/ca...

Farage confided in a Westminster mover and shaker that Polanski is dangerous in head to heads.

New Statesman reporting Reform politicians are avoiding head to head debates with me.

Their lies come crumbling down when confronted with the truth.

Let's keep building the movement to take on Reform:

I can see that Wes Streeting might have a political motive to exaggerate the flu crisis, but we are getting the same signals from GPs, NHS managers, school heads & pharmacists. The consensus is we don't have capacity to manage this without public behaviour change.

Solidarity with the hunger strikers.

It is an egregious violation for them to be held on remand - without trial or conviction.

All for protesting against a genocide. Shameful.

📣 @greenparty.org.uk councillors, you might like to take a look at this! 💚
@greensagainstcovid.bsky.social

A few doctors striking for a few days will not be what causes the collapse of the NHS.

Years of chronic underfunding and mismanagement will do that for you.

There's a lot of hysterical nonsense from the far-right about "cancelling Christmas" & the terrible "trauma" of having to mask during a global pandemic. It's clear the NHS is under a lot of pressure at the moment. Normal people want to know how we can help.

✅ Masks work! 😷 👇

Solidarity to the striking doctors. 💙 Every HCW deserves decent pay & safe working conditions. Streeting maybe has political motives for exaggerating, but we are hearing the same from NHS leaders, GPs & hospital staff. We don't have capacity to manage this well without help from behaviour change.
