Yep.

Because some people profit personally from it.
Simple as that.

Yorkshire going well...

Spoke to my father this morning, and I mentioned that I had a good feeling about the cricket today, and thought England might get there fairly comfortably with big scores from Root and Brook...

A new video just published looking at the (very) early origins of AFF2e. Some 15 years before Arion Games was even founded!

I went to Foyles in Charing Cross 2 weeks ago, involving 2 trains, and Tottenham Stadium on Saturday, using 3 trains, and coming home a long walk and bus. I also saw nothing other than lots of people getting on with their own lives.

I go to the heart of darkness every now and again, too.

Sometimes for work. Most often, it is for pleasure.

Can confirm.

I imagine if you had a Lamb under your arm no-one would have nicked it, as they might not have known what it was!

But, but, I hear London is a vile, lawless hellhole where the decent in society dare not venture?!

Could it be that certain people are telling us lies to advance their own causes?

I for one am shocked! 😲😲😲

What I did see was lots of ordinary people (of various races, colours, religions etc) getting on with their everyday lives. Shopping, walking children home from school, running stalls, making deliveries, visiting the hospital.

Yesterday I had to go to London with my other job.
I went on four separate tube trains, and none had top to toe graffitti.
I had to go to Whitechapel, and I was not mugged, murdered, raped or had my rolex stolen.

Vaxx first and foremost, but the 'cultural' resistance to masks never ceases to amaze and the inability to focus on clean indoor air breathtaking.

Far more contagious than covid

Fake poll on behalf of Reform.

As Jay said, many of the #BethesdaDeclaration signers will meet with him on Monday. And oh boy are we prepared!

While not every signer was invited, we worked together and with our colleagues across #NIH to bring our concerns—and evidence to back them up.

Buckle up, this will be a long thread. 🧵

So who is using him to create fake polls to try and misinform the electorate?

Cllr James Giles (@JamesGilesRBK) / X Cllr James Giles (@JamesGilesRBK) / X

He has quite a prolific history of posting anti-labour rhetoric:

He is also very pro-reform:

Here is the record for that company at Companies house.

The accounts for last year show Assets of £42, and I doubt that will get you an opinion poll.

There is one Director, one James Giles, and it seems he is an "independent" Councilor for New Malden, and 25 years old.

Here is a strange thing.
"Find Out Now" have been running a lot of polls recently, and without exception they show higher reform % and lower labour % than any others.

They ran one on the 9th/10th July on behalf of "MultiComms Ltd".

Wow.

One of mine- not the bonfire guy- just left. Windows, doors all wide open. No notice, just walked out and left most of his stuff behind. Including a cupboard full of used colostomy bags.

Agent refused to go and secure it because the law was on his side.

Me too!

Yep. Many years ago I had to have a police car parked nearby as one tenant moved out!

Yup. It’s all so easy to some, never really thinking though all of it.

I do get the criticism in ideological terms, and there are lots of bad landlords, but as you say, nuance is key.

I’ve also had 2 separate tenants trash my place. On stated a fire on kitchen floor and kicked off all the doors.

Pffft. Grow up.

Too many people see the world in black and white when it never is. The format of twitter/Bluesky, with short posts, exacerbates that somewhat but everything in life has nuance!

You can’t appease this lot. I’m with you. I’m a great landlord and my previous landlord was almost saintly.

Too many are bad, and that needs changing, but my tenant would never get a mortgage and this lot would have him homeless. 🙄

New study confirms far higher risk of blood clots from COVID-19, than from vaccines A health data study confirms the risk of blood clots is far higher from COVID-19 infection than from vaccination.

This is from July 2025. This has always been the case. Why hasn’t the government acted to tackle misinformation on vaccines. @teamlabouruk.bsky.social www.hdruk.ac.uk/news/new-stu...

Another one confirming earlier studies.
Low risk of blood clots from vaccines.
MUCH higher risk of blood clots from Covid
