A whole generation of kids thrown under the bus. It’s disgusting. We have the tech to help seriously reduce this risk, they could be putting Hepa filters in every school and hospital instead of back to work gurus in GP surgeries.

I just had to report an ad on YouTube for a telescopic dog beating stick for people worried about meeting stray dogs on walks. Wtf Google?

This is very sad to read, especially considering how bad reinfections are for people with long covid. A lot of the stigma toward long covid has to be linked to government denial/whitewashing of the dangers. Economy first, people’s health second

I did and now I’m too sick to work, had to leave a career that I loved, and still people are acting like this isn’t a thing.

Why don’t they want to talk about how Covid has contributed to a huge rise in disability? Long covid is a huge issue, many people are undiagnosed, suffering unexplained health issues, and not getting support. There are millions of sufferers in the UK alone, unable to work or live their lives

Homeless people are not the enemy.

They can’t “just try harder” their way into housing.

It’s the system that’s failing.

Most of us are one emergency away from being homeless ourselves.

We need affordable housing, universal basic income, healthcare & social supports.

We need a safety net

When leaders say "there are more important things to focus on" than the current pandemic, they are saying that there are more important things to focus on than brain injury, organ damage, long term disability in kids, immune dysfunction etc - and that sounds totally absurd if you think about it

Medical cannabis has been approved in Spain, great news for patients. The conditions could be better but it’s a step in the right direction.

El Gobierno aprueba el uso del cannabis medicinal: solo en hospitales y recetado por especialistas

El real decreto redactado por Sanidad no concreta las dolencias que podrán ser tratadas, que se irán ajustando a la evidencia científica

Almost 300 participants of the Global Sumud Flotilla are still detained by Israeli forces, who are reportedly subjecting activists to brutal physical and verbal abuse.

This is not “a matter for the Israeli government”. It’s a violation of international law.

Had the government said "as a mark of respect, we'd like you to cancel football matches, concerts etc AND protests today", then fair enough. But to single out the protest they've long wanted to stop anyway as the one thing we should not do looks like disgraceful exploitation of a horrific attack.

Zack Polanski shames Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood

"Shabana Mahmood is being deeply irresponsible"

"Conflating protests against a genocide in Gaza and weaponising that against an antisemitic attack on our streets, a terrorist attack, is deeply irresponsible"

You can protest against Israel’s genocide in Gaza and unequivocally condemn the antisemitic terror attack in Manchester.

Don’t let politicians or the media tell you that you can’t do both.

The fact that Labour is censoring someone as mainstream as Owen Jones is incredibly disturbing.

flyingrodent @flyingrodent.bsky.social · 8d

These people couldn’t have been more clear that they think not liking them is radicalisation; being angry with them for things they’ve done and said is extremism; asking them unwelcome questions is bullying and harassment, and raising your voice at them is criminal assault.

Labour has cancelled my Conference Pass.
Absolutely pathetic, Trumpian behaviour.
They are here suggesting that attempts to question Cabinet members and MPs about Britain facilitating Israel's genocide is a
"safeguarding issue".
This is clearly insane.
