It’s really simple…
- Cap all political donations
- Ban foreign donations
- Strict conflict‑of‑interest & anti‑corruption laws with penalties
- No titles, honours or peerages for donors
- No govt contracts for donors
- Publish every donation/lobby meeting
…that’ll do it.

The part that's wrong is that it wasn't an executive from one of the drug companies. It was apparently a patient taking one of the drugs, who was presumably invited along as an example of how great the drug is. Only he passed out before anyone got to that bit.
A man collapsed in the Oval Office yesterday. The internet got the story wrong.
My experience struggling to correct the record — including on Bluesky! — and the warning signs as AI, aggregation, and social media increasingly drive our news consumption.

The Conservative right loves to talk up imagined genius among their ranks when in truth there's nothing there but attitude, flex, and pose. Mogg, Johnson, Gove, Cummings. All tiresome little nobodies trotting out rehashed nonsense. Often nasty.

A new analysis shows that no evidence exists for using graded exercise therapy for #MECFS - an issue that has come to the forefront again with #LongCovid research, reports @medscape.com.

No Evidence Supports Using Graded Exercise for ME/CFS
