What utter dickheads we are…

Rayner fought for workers: sick pay, maternity rights, protection from unfair dismissal

Farage and his MPs voted it down

Rayner gets binned over £40k in stamp duty

Farage dodges £44k, shrugs & strolls on

The mega wealthy win again.

"I’m not thinking about where I could be limited by CF. For the first time, challenges are logistical, rather than health-based."

We spoke to Declan about running an ultra-marathon, being a science teacher, and changes in his life since taking Kaftrio.

We think pollution might be an important reason why some people with CF become unwell, thats why we're looking into this as a cause of exacerbations in our CF-Tracker study.
In the meantime, great to see this Asthma+Lung event in Manchester, come and support!
