Those of you who remember me from the other place may remember my pinned post from there.
My fears that the Brexit debate opened the doors to a country where the NF rhetoric I grew up scared of will revive & my 2 half brown sons will face it too.
For shame, UK politicians...

Simon Jenkins has nailed it.
We all know Brexit’s to blame for the crisis facing UK steel – it’s time for politicians to be honest and reverse it | Simon Jenkins
With British industry faltering, the excuse that the public wants this is risible. Parliament must force Starmer to act, says Guardian columnist Simon Jenkins

Yesterday they were shooting priests in the head with rubber bullets. Today they're arresting journalists. If you have anyone in your life who doesn't regularly follow the news and doesn't understand how bad things are and how bad they're about to get, you need to tell them right now. Time is short.

A study of 74,738 COVID cases and 18,790 influenza cases found that COVID patients had a higher risk of severe long COVID within 6 months.

Within 30 days, 826 COVID patients vs 89 flu patients died; within 90 days, 1,391 COVID patients vs 149 flu patients died, showing worse outcomes for COVID-19.
Severe COVID may carry higher risk of long-term conditions requiring hospitalization through 6 months

Just try for a moment to imagine what this must be like. It's nigh on impossible, no?

Former Head of Comms for the IEA, Annabel Denham, says the super rich will leave if we have a wealth tax.

Yes, the very same IEA that brought us Liz Truss’ disastrous mini budget. 🤦🏽‍♂️

Green Party leader Zack Polanski explains that their taxable assets can’t leave. #bbcqt

I do wonder if Labour might look at the sorts of people dominating the discourse and dominating the content wars and maybe, just maybe, rethink the sorts of grey figures they routinely put up for interviews, instructed at that to be as cautious as possible. Things have changed. Their comms hasn’t.

This is weird, as the people who support and vote Reform are not racist according to Starmer & Co. They are supporting racist policies, but only because they have genuine concerns and not because they are racist. Because Reform voters & supporters aren't, and not just many / the majority of them.

Journalist Anas al-Sharif won’t be around to announce the ceasefire as he did the last time,

because Israel assassinated him along with more than 260 other journalists. 😢

Until politicians and mass media admit that Brexit was, is and always will be a disaster this country is stuck in a downward spiral.
We need brave politicians/parties to renounce Brexit and racist division loudly, clearly and repeatedly.

Do British people want to leave the #ECHR? Here’s what the polls say

No, the majority don’t because:

“Research shows that attitudes towards human rights grow more positive as knowledge of human rights increases”

A no-brainer, to anyone sane…

Withdrawing the UK from the European Convention on Human Rights has become a defining issue for political parties

🚨 BREAKING: Labour MPs back calls to restore NHS Covid vaccines for all Clinically Vulnerable people!

After pressure from CVF members and supporters - a rapid U-turn appears to be underway.

WELL DONE!

#KeepCovidBoosters campaign a HUGE success!
Case Ref: 1 message Beccy Cooper MP @drbeccycooper.co.uk> Mon, 6 Oct 2025 at 00:50 Dear Thank you very much for contacting me about your concerns regarding access to Covid-19 vaccination for Clinically Vulnerable people. Please accept my apologies for the delay in responding to your email. I am pleased to be able to confirm that the new Labour government is committed to strengthening our public health response and reducing health inequalities. Labour's recent commitments and statements have made clear that the principle of universal and fair access to vaccines particularly for those who are medically at-risk must be central to our national strategy. In Parliament, Labour MPs have called for a rapid review of JCVI eligibility criteria and for the reinstatement of free Covid-19 vaccination for all Clinically Vulnerable people, in line with the existing approach to NHS flu vaccinations. Many have highlighted, as you do, that the logic and evidence for including all at-risk groups in annual booster rollouts are overwhelming, given the ongoing pandemic context and emergence of new variants. Our party's manifesto commits to taking advice from clinicians and scientists and to working closely with NHS England to ensure that support for the most vulnerable is not withdrawn on cost grounds especially when this may lead to greater suffering and increased NHS pressure. There is widespread concern across Parliament about the risk of deepening health inequality and placing the cost burden of essential preventative care onto those least able to shoulder it. Thank you again for taking the time to share your concerns so powerfully. Best wishes, Dr Beccy Cooper MP Member of Parliament for Worth Parliamentary Office: House of C Telephone: 01903 496390 betw Clinically Vulnerable Families [LOGO]
