The most immoral army continues to slaughter children. Nearly daily.
UN bodies and human rights groups have documented the pattern in detail. Anyone who denies it should read these reports.
We keep receipts and there will be accountability.

Even Starmer didn't break this pledge.
Labour think young people should be paid less to do the same job as everyone else. On rent, pay, and on the climate crisis, Labour are betraying the young.
Thankfully there's an alternative to this Labour government.

Normally @UKHSA when the graph exceeds the top of the axis, you increase the axis.

My GP surgery actually has a poster up, requesting patients to wear masks now.
But not a single member of staff were masked, so patients have no role model.
I was still the ONLY masked person in the whole building.
My appt was cancelled due to staff sickness, by the way.🙄

The world's wealthiest individuals and corporations are profiting from climate-driving pollution while simultaneously cashing in on the subsequent disasters.
According to Oxfam, the market for disaster recovery and reconstruction is projected to reach $92 billion annually by 2029.

Labour now briefing young people won't get the same minimum wage uplift.
Even Starmer didn't break this pledge. Workers rights mean same rights, pay & conditions, same rate for the same job.
What does this Labour government have against young people?

Two points: first, there is no 'after Covid'. There is 'after the end of societal non-pharmaceutical interventions'. Second, Covid can cause both prolonged fatigue and prolonged cognitive dysfunction. Because Covid is so common, population level effects are inevitable.

This is, I think, the third time that a new railway station’s patronage has been double the predicted volume. Transport analysts: does this mean the current predictive model is broken? And wouldn’t that shift up the business case for other dismissed reopenings / new stations…?
Build it and they will come! More than double the predicted number of passengers used Beaulieu Park station in its first year
