And apart from anything else, why on earth would Blair want to meet him in number 10 anyway?

There's something very strange going on with the JCVI. They seem to have lost all common sense. COVID vaccinations are amazing value for money.

A few years ago I got free flu and COVID vaccinations, now I get neither.

I'm enjoying this travel thread.

Why has my partner got a different Quick Cryptic crossword puzzle on the Guardian app to the one I've just done?

I thought they were always the same?

Not many people remember now, but The Daily Telegraph used to be a newspaper

Rick Burin @rickburin.bsky.social · 6h

Imagine being this lame

The Telegraph saying that an activist dancing dressed as a frog is a terrorist (in coward quotes), and for some reason they’ve added that the person is non-binary

Start of the public transport journey home from Lodève in the département of Hérault in southern France. 🇫🇷 The bus journey to Montpellier - 50km - costs only €2. Buses in Hérault have had cheap fares for years, reasonably frequent (hourly-ish) and constant timetables. People use them.

I asked my MP to press for immediate legal recognition of #humanistmarriages in England and Wales. The Government promised action but keep putting it off. humanists.uk/take-action-...

Write to your MP: Legally recognise humanist marriages, now!

I also think the JCVI really isn't fit for purpose if they don't realise this.

Paul N @paulnuk.bsky.social · 20h

I pointed out to my company's HR department that it's ridiculous that they offer us flu jab vouchers but not COVID ones. All they need to do is look at their sickness figures.

They make up lies about paid agitators doing violence, and attach them to the name of a prominent Jewish person. This is antisemitism, and it infects every part of the GOP.

Sen. Roger Marshall: "October 18 is when the protest gets here. This will be a Soros paid-for protest for his professional protesters. The agitators show up. We'll have to get the National Guard out. Hopefully it will be peaceful. I doubt it."

Polanski expertly dismantling the "rich people will move if we tax them" narrative, while Denham nimbly demonstrates how very patriotic such people are.

Eddie Burfi @eddieburfi.bsky.social · 1d

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 think it's just a service reminder, but as the shop I bought it from has gone out of business it will be there for evermore.
