I have paid, *counts fingers*, $8,000+ in medical expenses in the last two years because of stuff like MRI exams, a surgery for pre-cancerous cells, three months of physical therapy, plus other medical appointments. I have already exceeded this year's FSA maximum. I am under 40.

DeSantis said “Most people, particularly under 50, what they really need is a catastrophic plan that’s affordable, where then they can pay whatever they’re doing out of a health savings account.”

They are right to stay silent. No need to give publicity to every mad statement. Up to Badenoch to suspend her.

That just amplifies it. Best ignored. Up to Badenoch to issue a statement and suspend her.

💯 this is one of those situations where I find myself, scarily, agreeing with Thatcher, who wanted to deprive the IRA of the oxygen of publicity and so made reporting very difficult. If you keep amplifying the crazy ideas and debating them as normal you give credibility to them.

The P on his uniform signifies a Polish forced labourer. Thank you for remembering him.

Andrew has been protected for so long by his mother and older brother. He should be put on trial and stripped of every privilege. He can live on his navy and state pension.

Excellent letter. Reform is a recipe for chaos.

Great letter from Vince Maple.

They’ve started or done everything I voted for. Green New Deal, transport, NHS, minimum wage, housing, renters rights, education reforms. Many more that will bring a better life to the vulnerable. The problem is the disadvantaged groups who have benefited are not those shouting.

Kent Labour source: "We only need 10 more defections in Kent [County Council] and [Reform] won’t have overall control. At the moment it’s 50-31"

"Whips lost:
🟣 1 in court for allegedly threatening to kill wife
🟣 ⁠1 to UKIP
🟣 ⁠1 investigated for lewd comments
🟣 ⁠1 for being anti-[leader] Kemkaran"

If Reform or the Greens have their way the UK will be a vassal state of Russia.

Winter02 @winter02.bsky.social · 21h

Greens are not an eco party. They oppose renewable energy infrastructure whereas Ed Milband’s Green New Deal is transformative. Clean renewable energy, skilled jobs, economic growth, energy security and action on the climate crisis.
