This Tufton Street front is campaigning to preserve gay conversion therapy. Recognising that they are wrong ‘uns who have done nothing for gay people and only exist to campaign against trans people really isn’t rocket science.

The media have ignored the Covid Inquiry outcome. All those deaths directly caused by Johnson and Hancock ignoring advice. They need banging up. But we are moving on. Because the media say we should. Failed 6yrs on by our media colluding with the vile Tories.

Something tells me the media who harassed him into a grave won’t be blasting this all over the front pages.

Almost everyone in those groups you list as needing a flu vaccine is NOT eligible for an NHS Covid vaccine @YvetteCooperMP. Covid is just as serious to those groups as flu, so why on earth are we not vaccinated against it?
.@YvetteCooperMP explains why it's important to get the free NHS flu vaccination if you're eligible. The vaccine is offered to people at higher risk of becoming seriously ill from flu. Check your eligibility and book online or through the NHS App: nhs.uk/vaccinations/flu-vacc…

Might she explain why she doesn’t think Covid vaccines should be more readily available?

Restricting vaccination as tightly as you do makes this seem a little performative

Over diagnosis is very rarely a problem in medicine. Under resourcing services is.

As an objective observer, it’s clear that Zack has transformed the Greens from a party that sheepishly sits on the sidelines offering practically nothing, to one that ignites national debates and influences government. The Greens would be mad to change leader, stark raving mad.

The Greens didn’t win Holborn & St Pancras, but this was no defeat. Zack Polanski took 32.8% of the vote — the party’s second-best by-election result ever — and turned a safe Labour seat into a genuine contest. A 13-point swing to the Greens is a foundation, not a finish line. 🌱

It can take a while. It’s losing someone close and unique and nothing is the same. Look after yourself and hold the memories close
Someone please tell me it’s normal to be deeply, deeply, affected by the death of your dog for at least a little while. It’s been three days and I’m still in the trenches. I am just so damn sad.

Why not have the same (or better) eligibility as flu? Nobody claims it’s less harmful than flu.

Speaking as a Covid cautious therapist, I can say that just because you’re Covid cautious doesn’t mean you have OCD. To have OCD, the thoughts need to be irrational. There’s nothing irrational with not wanting to be harmed by a virus that can cause disability and death.

Wtaf is the point in this. We don't need more money spent on another review. Of course long waiting times are having a detrimental impact on patients. Put the money into tackling the issue, not yet another review.

I’m a therapist and none of my Covid-Conscious clients meet the criteria for OCD. This armchair pathologizing needs to stop. So many people have been hurt already and even more people will be harmed as long as this ableist rhetoric continues.

Jeez this obsessive, mind numbingly boring royal coverage is incessant. It’s so dull. Leave them alone.
