I've come to the heartbreaking conclusion after the last 5 years that my daughter's decimated life due to very severe ME triggered by Covid Pneumonia appears to be viewed as colateral damage by those in power.
"That is the sort of funding that Britain's world-leading researchers on ME deserve."
Tessa Munt MP, chair of the APPG on ME, on Germany's ā¬500m investment over 10 years to find a cure for ME and long Covid, in today's Times. #MECFS

The guy who was arrested yesterday outside the Palestine Action court case for pausing too long while singing āIn the UK itās illegal to say I support Palestine Actionā has predictably been released without charge.

Iām in awe of Beth Dobbins tbh. Putting herself on the line AGAIN in a few days. Nobody should have to do this!
Hello #TheLastLeg @Channel4 š
#IsItOk that Olympic athlete #BethDobbin went from fit, competing at the top of her game, to being housebound and bedridden - and that there's little to no research funded into her condition?!
She has Myalgic Encephalomelitis #ME #MECFS

Thank you @BethDobbin for sharing your story on @GMB. Our group is made up of physios &other HCWs whose lives & health have been devastated by covid infections. Like you, they used to love their careers. Now many of them are bedbound or housebound & unable to work.
Six years ago, Beth Dobbin was competing at the highest level of international sport, representing Team GB at the Tokyo Olympics. Now, she is bedbound for up to 22 hours a day after being diagnosed with ME.
Commonly known as chronic fatigue syndrome, the condition has been described by Dobbin as ālife-decimatingā.
She has written a letter calling on the Prime Minister to meet with her and commit to more funding for research.
Dobbinās fellow athletes Keely Hodgkinson, Tom Daley and Dina Asher-Smith have also signed the letter. #ME #illness #Olympics

What Democrats should do: draft and pass an Affordability Bill, focused on the "economics of essentials" (healthcare, housing, food, etc). Dare the President to veto it; if he does, dare Republicans to make it veto-proof. If it passes, so much the better; if it doesn't, it becomes a Blueprint for 2028.
The substance of the bill should be pricing reforms (eg, banning of 21st-century price-fixing) and structural reforms (eg changes to merger review for essential industries; private-equity accountability). Core stuff that the majority of Americans agree on.

@JamesFrith your comments this morning on @GMB
need to be corrected, failure to do so perpetuates continued harm being inflicted on #pwME
The Delivery Plan for #ME currently falls very short of meeting the requirements which #ME patients need urgently.
1/4 š¢ A short statement from ThereForME:
We wanted to be very clear, following the health minister @JamesFrith's comments on @GMB this morning that we do not agree that the Final Delivery Plan for ME was co-produced with orgs representing people with ME.

āitās not a little issue. Itās impacting the masses and itās just gonna get bigger and bigger now Covid is causing ME. I think itās about 50% of people that get LongCovid go on to develop ME. It is a mega issue⦠we have no approved treatments - I canāt stress that enough.ā
āThis health issue has nothing out there for you⦠There are specialist clinics, but they donāt have any doctors⦠Itās life decimating. Iām in bed 22 hours of the dayā

Liz Truss posting from Mar-a-Lago on the night MAGA imploded. She's just too good.

For the MAGA shidiots in the back⦠some facts:
No, Trump didnāt āgetā Greenland.
Denmark didnāt āgiveā us Greenland.
Weāre never going to āhaveā Greenland, much like how we donāt āhaveā Venezuela or āhaveā control over the Strait of Hormuz.
He didnāt āsolve inflationā and the war he started 8 months ago, that isnāt a war, isnāt āwonā.
Gas prices arenāt lower than they were when Biden left office and neither is diesel.
Weāre not the āhottest countryā in the world.
This isnāt the āGolden Ageā.
We arenāt ārespected againā. We are a global laughing stock, and at this point most people in other countries just want to know if weāre ok.
Affordability isnāt a āhoaxā, data centers arenāt popular, vaccines and Tylenol donāt ācauseā autism and the Epstein files, much like the creepy ass birthday card Trump sent his best friend Jeff, are very, very real.
Itās still Lake Ontario, itās still the Gulf of Mexico, and itās still very fucking much, called AI.
He doesnāt have a āhealthcare planā, youāre not getting your Doge check, your tariff check or your $5,000.
The ballroom youāll never see and the golf course youāll never use arenāt āfreeā.
The reflecting pool wasnāt āvandalizedā, January 6th wasnāt āpeacefulā, and the 2020 election wasnāt āstolenā.
No one is changing your childās gender at school, no one is eating your cats or your dogs, and no one is coming here from Africa or anywhere else for that matter, to steal your shitty minimum wage job.
Mexico and Canada arenāt our enemies, and Russia and China are not our friends.
Losing your Medicaid, your SNAP, and your healthcare plan isnāt āwinningā and it sure as shit doesnāt āown the Libsā.
The word ādumbā has always had a B in it, and the word āincumbentā has nothing to do with something you might have worn to your prom.
Now, I know that facts are about as useful to you as a cousin-less dating pool, a sheep thatās not in the mood, and a book with no pictures, but that doesnāt make them any less true.
Youāre poorer, sicker and less safe than you were 2 years ago.
Trump didnāt make America āgreatā again, heās actively destroying it, while lining his own pockets, and the pockets of the Epstein class at the very same time.
Now I know that he still hates who you hate, and maybe that really is enough, but the truth is that he lied to you about everything else.
He lied about lowering prices, lied to you about no new foreign wars and lied about accountability for pedophiles.
And Iām sure you stopped reading when you met the first word with more than two syllables, but in the event that youāre still here, all I want, all I ask, is that you sit this one out.
If youāre not going to vote to stop him, then donāt vote at all.
Stay home and brush your tooth.
Let the grownups with still firing synapses handle this one.
I think we can all agree that youāve done more than enough.

4/4 That was our view before the Final Delivery Plan for ME was published and we stand by it.
If the plan had genuinely been co-produced we believe it would have been a very different plan.

3/4 "While the [draft] foreword frames the plan as "co-produced" most of the major suggestions that have been made by the Task & Finish Group members, and through the public consultation [...] have not been taken forward"
