It took 6+ years but this is so damn good
An airborne virus is a virus that can infect other people through unseen particles in the air, sometimes for hours after the sick person has left the area! Masks and clean, ventilated air can reduce the risk of getting sick from airborne viruses or infecting others.

Labour's woes are self-inflicted, but they'll never accept responsibility for them. It's painful for me too. My whole family was once staunch Labour voters, but not anymore.

They erased Ruby Bridges from the textbooks. I’m putting her back in the story.

They buried her courage and hoped we would forget.

ERASED isn’t a book—it’s a weapon.
Read it before they ban it. Share it before they erase her.

🗣 @zackpolanski.bsky.social: "The Green Party are the only party who can stop Reform and to have the Labour Party trying to wade in, trying to make themselves relevant, demonstrates what a difficult week they've had and what a difficult year they've had since gaining power."

Before Keith Porter, Renee Nicole Good and Alex Pretti… ICE killed a father after he dropped his kids off at school.

We didn’t hear much about it because he was undocumented.

They said he was trying to flee & shot him in the back of the neck.

Silverio Villegas-González.

Don’t forget him.

Public ownership of water in England would mean no dividends to pay, £85bn paid since privatization.

Cost of borrowing would be around half, guaranteed by govt.

Reduction in consultant fees, don't need so many.

Simpler regulation, no shareholders to appease.

Result: more investment, lower bills.
Public ownership of water is the only way to deliver security, efficiency, investment and value for money
37 years of privatisation has been a disaster

Off-rolling needs to be properly investigated, not brushed aside. Too many children — often the most vulnerable — are being pushed out of schools without accountability.

Lower bills, tax the rich, protect the NHS. We will win.
