Excellent, very well balanced article written by Anna-Louise Marsh-Rees on the pro's and con's of Public Inquiries.
She speaks from a position of knowlege & authority, following her extensive involvement with the UK Inquiry.
A key ally of CATA - very grateful for her support.
The question is not whether Wales should have an inquiry simply for the sake of having one. It is whether the process chosen is capable of answering the questions that remain and delivering the outcomes required✍️ Anna-Louise Marsh-Rees wp.me/p8Mk4U-1w3R

Our petition for a public inquiry into Britain’s role in Gaza has hit 10,000 signatures.
Now, let’s get it to 100,000 to force a debate.
The public deserves to know the full scale of Britain’s complicity in genocide.

One of the most helpful things you can do for yourself as a patient is to begin to understand the biological mechanisms underlying the dysfunctions and symptoms you are experiencing.
Remember!! Treating symptoms and treating disease are not the same thing. Taking benzos or LDN or LDA or beta-blockers can help control symptoms of MECFS for some people but they cannot correct the dysfunction that is giving rise to the symptoms. For that we need an entirely different approach.
The first step to understanding how you can begin to take a bit more control of your condition is the right information. A little bit of knowledge can go a long way once you realize what is important to understand.
Bite size visual lessons are a great way of learning the basics. One of the biggest stumbling blocks I see in how patients approach treatment protocols is that they don't have any understanding of what is needed to start to address dysfunction.
In the end this means most people waste years following protocols with little real chance of moving the needle - just controlling symptoms is NOT enough.
We are not getting enough help from the medical community. Patients need clear options but we also need to understand the theory - not everything is right for everyone and complex protocols really are going to be essential. As much as we all wish for a major bullet - it is not going to be how people recovery from these types of conditions.
I think this is a great project and one that has the potential to really help patients. Excited to see where it goes. Amazing initiative @manruipa

AI chatbots may worsen psychosis symptoms, especially early in illness: about 6 in 10 patients with documented worsening were experiencing their first psychotic episode. @JAMAPsych medicalxpress.com/news/2026-…

It was maliciously treated as a fishing expedition by little people who had no way of changing the outcome. Funded by the taxpayer the cover up began. Lives have been lost. Lives could have been saved by a number of people listening to the few. I hope that is never forgotten.

One of the highlights of my time in Jordan was visiting UNWRA archives and examining the index cards and other records of the 750,000 Palestinians kicked off their land at the Nakba in 1948. They used to be kept in Gaza and were airlifted out at the beginning of the genocide- Israel has destroyed all the archives that remained. They form the best evidence for some form of reparations in the future and are now being scanned and digitalised
غزة ومنعطف التاريخ: الشرق الأوسط قبل وبعد النهضة (أرض) تنظّم زيارة للمؤرخ ويليام دالريمبل إلى أرشيف الأونروا وحواراً رفيع المستوى حول فلسطين
Gaza and the Turning of History: The Middle East Before and After ARDD Organizes William Dalrymple’s Visit to UNRWA Archives and High-Level Dialogue on Palestine
نظّمت منظمة النهضة العربية للديمقراطية والتنمية (أرض)، من خلال مركز النهضة الاستراتيجي، وتحت عنوان «غزة ومنعطف التاريخ: الشرق الأوسط قبل وبعد»، زيارة إلى أرشيف الصور والأفلام التابع لوكالة الأمم المتحدة لإغاثة وتشغيل اللاجئين الفلسطينيين (الأونروا)، بمشاركة المؤرخ والكاتب البريطاني البارز ويليام دالريمبل، إلى جانب لقاء عمل حواري رفيع المستوى جمع دبلوماسيين وأكاديميين وصنّاع سياسات وخبراء إقليميين، لمناقشة التطورات في غزة وفلسطين ضمن التحولات التاريخية والسياسية الأوسع التي يشهدها الشرق الأوسط.
وخلال الزيارة إلى أرشيف الأونروا، التي نُظّمت بالتعاون مع الوكالة، اطّلع دالريمبل على سجلات ووثائق تاريخية توثّق تهجير الفلسطينيين وتجارب اللاجئين وذاكرتهم الجماعية منذ عام 1948. ويُعدّ هذا الأرشيف، المدرج ضمن برنامج ذاكرة العالم التابع لليونسكو، مرجعاً تاريخياً مهماً يبرز ضرورة الحفاظ على التاريخ الفلسطيني والهوية الوطنية وتجارب أجيال متعاقبة من اللاجئين. للمزيد: ardd-jo.org/news/%d8%ba%d8%b…
The Arab Renaissance for Democracy and Development (ARDD), through its Renaissance Strategic Center (RSC), organised, under the theme “Gaza and the Turning of History: The Middle East Before and After,” a visit to the UNRWA Photo and Film Archives with renowned British historian and author William Dalrymple, alongside a high-level working lunch bringing together diplomats, academics, policymakers, and regional experts to reflect on Gaza and Palestine within the broader historical and political transformations shaping the Middle East.
During the visit to the UNRWA Archives, facilitated in cooperation with UNRWA, Dalrymple explored historical records documenting Palestinian displacement, refugee experiences, and collective memory since 1948. Recognized by UNESCO’s Memory of the World Programme, the archives underscore the importance of preserving Palestinian history, identity, and the experiences of generations of refugees.

HEBRON IS UNDER SIEGE. FAMILIES ARE LOSING THEIR HOMES.
Since yesterday, at least 250 families have been displaced in Hebron, including my own sister, Hayat, and her seven children. Homes and shops are being demolished by the Israeli military.
Around 250,000 people are trapped in the city, while 1,000 families in H2 remain in their homes.
We are being collectively punished for something we neither did nor supported. Our suffering is being turned into political material for Israel’s elections, while innocent families pay the price.

Been asked a lot about “stockpiling” and it’s a really unhelpful term. This is about a bit of extra water, food, medication to get you through until responders can provide more help. 72 hours. It’s not a bunker
Useful discussion with @LucyGoBag and Ray Mears.

A store picker substituting COVID tests with Lemsip (equivalent of USA’s Theraflu) is suggestive of some kind of cognitive impairment in the store picker.
Buckle up it’s going to get worse eg from personal experience when crossing one way roads, look BOTH ways now before crossing
Ok seriously @sainsburys wth? I ordered Covid tests and they were substituted with lemsip???? And flu tests were substituted with vit D tests??? Are you kidding me???? I ordered from you specifically because I need flu and Covid tests. And they were in stock.
