Passionate about public health and addressing health inequalities. #resistance needed now. Obsessed with U.K. and US politics, love time with my family, a good read, a good film, cats and hiking.💙☮️🐈⬛🕷️
Reporters who fact-check Trump to his face are not “stupid”, they are not “piggies”, and they are not “ugly”. They are doing their jobs, and doing it under pressure most of us will never experience.
We should be grateful for their service. I appreciate their courage now more than ever.

It also ignores the untold misery the European colonists inflicted on indigenous communities, enslaving them, killing them with new diseases they had no immunity to, and massacring whole communities, including children, if they put up resistance. Some Christian values, eh?
Vance loves to deploy fabricated racist fearmongering. First Haitians are eating the pets, now Indigenous people sacrificed children?! Sheesh.

No wonder Checkatrade is so unreliable- definitely not consumer friendly!!
Reform UK recently launched a new organisation within the party to boost small businesses. The first entrepreneur chosen to champion the cause is Kevin Byrne, founder of Checkatrade But Byrne is a rather interesting pick by Reform. 🤔

Smart cities are transforming transportation, reducing emissions and public costs while adding more choice and improving quality of life. COMMON SENSE!
Smart infrastructure for public transit, walking & biking is a GREAT INVESTMENT. Fund it accordingly. #ActionStartsHere @mayors4climate.bsky.social

Seriously, the US government was the major instigator and funder of the Apollo programme and Manhattan Project. Where are these people dug up from?!

This further shows how RFK jr.’s conspiracy theories turned into policy is killing Americans.
Unbelievable.

Just saw Nuremberg (the movie) and so much in the film made me think of current headlines about the US. One powerful line in the film talks about the public letting (Nazism, mass detentions etc) happen, until it was too late. Need fo keep fighting for our communities and against hate.

Securing your population’s health is one of the most fundamental tasks of responsible government. It sits within other security responsibilities. Trump and RFKJr failure to ensure nation’s health security reveals their complete lack of competence to be a country’s leaders.
The social contract is dead. American public health once operated on a simple agreement where the government listened to experts and protected the citizenry. It worked.

Citizens United was one of the worst Supreme Court decisions in U.S. history, opening the floodgates for billionaires to buy---and destroy---our democracy. Equating money with "speech" was a grotesque & ridiculous perversion of common sense.

The UK is a strongly pro-choice country with 86% of Britons wanting abortion to be legal in all or most cases. But the US anti-choice movement has been investing heavily into campaigns in Britain, and Nigel Farage’s Reform UK party seems to be support the interference.
The worrying rise of US anti-abortion rhetoric is in full force - how deep is Reform UK's involvement?
Money is pouring into anti-abortion campaigns in Britain, and it seems Nigel Farage’s party isn’t pushing back…

Hmmm…what USAID wasn’t bad for America…what if getting rid of it only hurt us and everyone else?
What if the richest man in the world being responsible for ending aid to the poorest people in the world will go down as one of the most bizarre and disgusting acts of the 21st century?
