On hypnosis & breast size: hypnosis can be a useful approach to health concerns & distress. Changing our minds, when & if people ask for help that way, about whether or not our body parts are the wrong shape or size, may sometimes be better than using a surgical knife. www.bmj.com/content/352/bm

What if we had generous & reliable public transport so driving was less vital? And not only in urban areas and between large conurbations but also in rural places where currently people have no alternative but to drive to reach friends, family, shops, services.

On #BBCQT - Fiona Bruce said that the audience and public didn't want to press Reform UK on their dodgy links to Russia.

I disagree.

RT if you agree it's in the public interest for Reform to explain about their links to Russian money and bribery!

What the hell does Farage thinks he’s doing, going off to America *again* to maliciously slag off British teachers at some private Christian college, while offering to peddle their courses over here?

The irony is more than I can bear.

Farage must NEVER be PM.

All anti-Reform / Tory Parties are going to need to cooperate on stopping this Nazi.

In our constituency, each Saturday at 11am a bunch of us stand in centre of town for 10 min with a banner: “we need to talk about the climate” and placards: “ #sitforclimate” & we have conversations with members of the public. Tiny but real. And things grow from it eg we’re meeting our MP tomorrow.

Government could do more. Hard, just as putting us on a Covid footing or war footing was hard. And hard to counteract the forces of harm. But vital to do so. And yes we citizens need to take responsibility - incl by pushing all our MPs to support the Climate & Nature Bill @zero-hour.bsky.social

ME/CFS is a devastating condition that has long been denied, dismissed, psychologised and underdiagnosed. Research is at last starting to catch up with it, with glimmers of hope for those who have been left untreated for so long.
There's a huge BUT coming ...🧵

"Keep up the good work...

...in uniting so many against her and her plans to rip up the Climate Change Act."
