Notable how little UK Govt, and specifically the health secretary, have to say about this. No sense that they can shape public behaviour. Very passive.
UK has lost its official status as a country that has achieved elimination of measles, as vaccination rates have fallen below the 95% required to achieve herd immunity. So sad, and likely due vaccine misinformation. If you haven't already, get your kids vaccinated ASAP. www.bbc.com/news/article...

BONDI: He does work for us, yes. I believe he was pardoned
NEGUSE: And you expect hard-working police officers to believe you take law enforcement seriously?

The tweet that said ‘Britain is a strange place where people think 100k is a high salary but £1m is a normal price for a family home’ lives rent free in my head forever. Pretty clearly is something psychological about it that the boundaries haven’t moved despite v large inflation since then.
