This is exactly what I was going to say. There are a slew of studies now showing that COVID infections damage the brain and cause gradual cognitive decline, which is compounded by subsequent infections. We've been letting the young people in our country contract COVID over and over and over again.

Would be useful for the electorate and authorities in Israel to remember one of the reasons Netanyahu was and still is happy to continue conflict in the region was obvioulsy to keep himself out of court and out of jail. Far from granting him a pardon he should be facing further charges for that too!

Indeed. This is not the BBC's job and to make it worse, in the same piece, Chris Mason again lurches into opinion and gives government carte blanche when he absolutely should not have!
No that's not *your* on *our behalf*. Your job is to report the story, presenting all sides fairly and then *we* call it. What Mason is saying here is fundamentally not what the bbc is for!

Baron John Hutton, always a close Tony Blair supporter, unsurprisingly gives private finance initiative (PFI/PPP/LIFT) a thumbs-up. He’s disingenuous at best, compromised as Association of Infrastructure Investors in Public Private Partnerships (AIIP) Chair. PFI stinks

Viruses cause illness. Poor indoor air helps them spread.

✅ Rest at home when unwell
✅ Keep CO₂ under 800ppm
✅ Ventilate well
✅ Use HEPA air filters

…and keep kids in school learning, even during peak infection months

Not the Brexit deal.
Brexit.
A prejudiced moronathon that will continue to damage our country until we’re brave/sane enough to admit it, demand accountability from those who insisted upon it and then, finally, start to fix it.
The tide is turning. Even the Telegraph is now admitting the damage the Brexit deal has done to the economy.

The UK implementation of digital ID cards is provisionally forecast to cost £1.8 billion in total over the next three years, with no identifiable savings as a result. (But with lots of nice private profits).

What would you spend £1.8 billion on?

🧵This 58-year-old nurse from Maryland is seen being violently dragged along the ground by officials in Ghana.

Trump deported her there.

This abhorrent & disgusting abuse of a woman who saved American lives and cared for injured and ill Americans for 30 years.

All the details below are worse.
