It feels like my early days on Twitter.
The positive connecting with people, hope for adult discussion, sharing ideas, sharing information and maybe together helping to make things better as we all build our networks.
Hope is back with us all I think.

Remember when Trump said, “They’re taking your jobs..”?
Who is? Trump and his administration.
Jobs data isn’t promising. Labor market data show much weaker hiring than in recent years and analysts are saying we’re in a hiring recession. 
Job openings have fallen to levels not seen in years.

Trump just gave himself an A+++ rating and keeps bragging about “the greatest economy ever”!
Meanwhile, unemployment hits a 4-year high and job growth sinks to a 15-year low. Reality check: the numbers don’t lie. 📉

Unemployment rate reaches a four-year high as Trump’s economic woes continue — MS NOW
If the president has created “the greatest economy in the history of our country,” why has American job growth slowed to a 15-year low?

I stand with the resident doctors and all NHS staff taking strike action, now and in the future.
Keir Starmer has said that resident doctors have “lost the sympathy” of the public and their NHS colleagues, after members of the BMA voted to continue strike action this week

The poorest 20% Britons pay higher proportion of income in taxes than the richest 20%.
The bottom 50% of the population owns less than 5% of wealth, bottom 20% has 0.5%.
Can't reduce child/household poverty and relieve suffering without equitable distribution of income/wealth.

To tackle child poverty the government must deal with parental poverty
Labour's child poverty strategy offers some welcome measures, but it won't address the factors keeping families trapped in poverty

There are many Labour backbenchers who totally oppose all UK trade with Israel which of course includes the selling of arms. They make their opinions known but are ignored.

Around the year 1900,
18% of American children died before the age of 5.
Plus, their premature deaths haunted their families.
Vaccination knocked that death rate below 1%.

What was childhood like before vaccines?
The anti-vax movement has gone mainstream, but before these shots, grief and loss marked the lives of children.

Opal Sandy made history in 2023 as the first child to receive gene therapy for profound deafness due to a faulty gene, successfully restoring her hearing within months and allowing her to hear normally at age three.
This is just one reason why it's important to fund scientific research.
