1. The bottom line: SARS-CoV-2 only emerged in late 2019. No-one can know the long-term effects of repeated infections, but with anosmia and cognitive dysfunction as common symptoms, the assumption I make is that there is a tsunami of early-onset neurocognitive diseases coming.

Today, a new hosepipe ban came into force - yet nearly 3 billion litres of water is lost a day from leaky pipes belonging to privatised water companies. That's 5x more water than a nationwide hosepipe ban would save. We need to bring water back into public hands now.

One of the most important things about Zac, regardless if you support him or not, is that he pulls the curtain back on how the machine and the media works - it’s so important than people loudly call out the media who are amongst the biggest threats we have to us saving ourselves.

Absolute crickets in the media.
Massive report, huge impact, response: total silence from government and press.
From the new @OECD report on Long Covid.
The projected GDP loss from the condition places it among the most economically significant chronic conditions in OECD and EU member countries
ALT Excerpt from report: "the continuing burden of long COVID arises mainly from reduced labour participation and productivity losses, reflecting a broader macroeconomic impact rather than medical expenditure alone. Overall, in proportional terms, the projected 0.1-0.2% GDP loss from long COVID places it among the most economically significant chronic conditions in OECD and EU Member countries. Lastly, the estimates in this report probably understate the true burden of long COVID. The condition is likely to have wide-reaching consequences that are not yet fully understood. Beyond the core symptoms of long COVID, infection with SARS-CoV-2 increases the risk of developing a range of chronic conditions - including cardiovascular conditions, diabetes, neurological impairments and autoimmune disorders - which will add further pressure on health systems and increase costs in the years ahead...."

As the UK enters its third heatwave of the year it couldn't be clearer: we need to end our reliance on fossil fuels.
We'd like to remind Andy Burnham that approving new oil and gas licences is a climate crime. It won't deliver energy security and it won't take a penny off our bills.
The only way to deliver cheaper, secure, homegrown energy is to invest rapidly in renewable power.

If you are worried about
Benefit Fraud £0.5bn but not Government Corruption £219bn.
Immigration £2bn but not Tax Havens £150bn.
Junior Doctors pay rises £1.3bn but not Bankers tax cuts £7.3bn.
You‘re buying their lies.

There is major deception going on from politicians of every hue except Green at the moment.
ALL say welfare must be cut by taking sick and disabled people off benefits and into work.
NONE admit there are already more than twice as many people looking for work than there are jobs

This really worries me
A month ago in Wales I suffered a ruptured aneurysm in my abdomen. I lost over 2 units of blood
But the Welsh ambulance service refused to send an ambulance. I was still breathing so apparently didn't need one
I spent 7 hours lying on the ground in a car park. Every time I moved I threw up from the pain. The owners of the car park called 999 6x
One of the people there was a fireman. He couldn't believe that 999 treated each call as a separate incident and couldn't see the details or link to previous calls. He was frustrated because they could see I was seriously ill but you can't see internal bleeding and so there was no way to persuade 999 that it actually was an emergency
Eventually my husband arrived by taxi, journey of more than 3 hours from our home
He gave me my pain meds (the car park people were worried about liability and I was too ill to get them myself). This meant I was able to crawl into the car and he drove me to A&E
He got me into a wheelchair. We waited 75 minutes to see a doctor. I was shivering, heaped with blankets and threw up all over the floor
As soon as a doctor looked at me I was taken straight to resus. The next day I was transfered by blue light ambulance to another hospital, had a blood transfusion and spent 5 days on the high dependency unit
If my husband hadn't been able to come and look after me I have no idea how I would have survived. As it was I nearly didn't
I would not have been able to get myself to hospital nor would I have been able to log into some digital triage system
This scheme seems to assume if you're seriously ill you'll arrive by ambulance and if not you're well enough to navigate a digital portal
My experience suggests that's a dangerous assumption
A week later, back home in England I had another ruptured aneurysm. This time an ambulance came in 2 hours and again I was taken straight to resus
It wasn't the same because I had a recent diagnosis of a ruptured aneurysm so we could tell 999 I was almost certainly bleeding internally. But I was too ill to get myself down the stairs and out to the car. We still needed that ambulance and I still wouldn't have been able to fiddle around with an ipad
Proper triage REQUIRES an actual doctor to look at the patient. It takes a matter of minutes to differentiate between a life threatening emergency and not a life threatening emergency. That's not minutes to get a diagnosis but to know that the person is stable or not stable and if not that needs immediate attention
Seriously ill people can't do it themselves. It doesn't matter how smart or articulate they are normally. Or how tough. Expecting people to manage their own emergency care isn't what a modern health service should do

Very well said. I wish that more people understood this. Especially journalists.
Let’s break this down
Welfare includes pensions, which account for almost half of the total amount paid. It also includes disability related benefits, paid to those of us who have been assessed as unfit for work. Additionally the total figure also includes money paid to disabled people to support them with the extra costs associated with their disability or health condition, indeed for many this money is what allows them to be able to work. Next we have the fact that a significant portion of Universal Credit claimants are in work but do not earn enough to live on and so need to have their wages topped up. Furthermore, in terms of fully able people who are looking for work, there are approximately 2.5 of them for every available job. This means that there are simply not enough jobs for everyone who needs one. However, despite this, people are sanctioned if they are not perceived as having been trying hard enough to find work. So the idea that people can get loads of money simply by choosing not to work is a misconception that has been allowed to flourish for years.

The DWP has literally spent over £3.5 BILLION and managed to get a whopping 3% of disabled people into work.
Whilst simultaneously CUTTING Access to Work support which has resulted in far more than those 3% actually losing their jobs.
So this is complete bollocks and gaslighting

Oxford University has done the maths on "drill baby drill" vs a fully renewable UK.
Maximum North Sea extraction: saves households £16–£82/year.
But ONLY if the government takes every penny of tax revenue and hands it back to households. If they don't, zero benefit.
Full renewables: saves households up to £441/year. Recurring. Every year. Indefinitely.
The North Sea runs out around 2040. Renewables don't.
The analysis was done using January 2026 prices — before the Iran war sent oil to $116 a barrel. Even with cheap fossil fuels as the baseline, renewables win.
This isn't ideology. It's arithmetic.

This is what is waiting for all of us now that everyone has normalized multiple COVID infections a year. We have a mountain of evidence that COVID can cause folks to have heart attacks, strokes, cancer, dementia, autoimmune diseases, etc. Very few of us will live to see our 60s.
This is a must read, especially for non CC folks…

You won't get a clearer example of Labour lies than this.
Labour has pretended these cuts are to "encourage" people into work...YET THE PEOPLE AFFECTED WILL HAVE BEEN OFFICIALLY ASSESSED BY THE DWP AS UNABLE TO WORK.
It is pure dishonesty from Starmer's Labour government.

This week the NHS will undergo one of the most radical – and scandalous - changes in its history. From 1st April (the public are the fools in this), GPs will be contractually obliged to seek remote, electronic “advice and guidance” from hospital ‘clinicians’ (note, not necessarily doctors), making it even harder for patients to see a hospital specialist.
Does this sound part of a plan to genuinely ‘fix’ the NHS, as Wes Streeting vowed he would do so effusively when taking up office - or more like a tactic to ration hospital care by overriding GPs in order to massage the waiting list figures?
It is, of course, the latter, an extra layer of bureaucracy that at best will delay patients’ access to the specialist treatment they need, at worse sacrifice those patients on the altar of fake news about “falling” waiting lists.
You don’t need me to point out the patient safety risks it potentially entails. We all know that time, in medicine, can be everything. The Royal College of GPs has been crystal clear: “The use of advice and guidance should not be mandated in any area… We have heard reports of risks of delays, with tests being required before any referral, lost messages and staff without appropriate senior clinical oversight handling requests.”
The aim, says the Times, is to reduce the number of hospital outpatient appointments by 30 million annually. And the government, in a really quite breathtaking example of political spin, is presenting this as “good” for patients - as though all those people who’ve been waiting years months or even years for the first Rheumatology, Neurology or Orthopaedics appointment they so desperately need are just, you know, malingering. (I recently spoke to a patient with a new diagnosis of multiple sclerosis who’d been waiting over six months to see a neurologist for the first time – simply scandalous.)
I believe this is a national health scandal from a government that apparently cares more about good spin than it does about good patient care.
If you feel the same, please – please – write to your MP or the Secretary of State and tell them why. Please shout about this online, in the press, anywhere you can. Don’t let this slide. Thank you.
