This is how our government treated nurses with long Covid.. www.dailyrecord.co.uk/news/scottis...
From 2023. Still no preventions in place.
Thousands of Scots nurses 'with Long Covid left destitute begging for handouts'
Nurses who quit their careers due to illness they got caring for others are pleading for Long Covid to be treated as an industrial injury so they don't have to beg for handouts.

The UN has only confirmed what we already knew: Israel is committing genocide.

64,000+ killed, whole families wiped out. Yet UK Govt rolls out the red carpet for Israel’s president & Starmer stays silent.

Labour - this is a genocide. Are you going to continue to ignore that?
Sadiq Khan calling out Zack's use of "social media" instead of calling out the genocide in Mayor's Question Time really is the perfect analogy for why Labour are quite so astoundingly unpopular.

Four people were arrested for an “unauthorised projection”.

This is apparently what counts as a crime now

"The courts have no roadmap for this. They have generally not been faced with repeated instances of high-level government officials and attorneys routinely lying or perpetually insisting they have no idea what’s actually going on, but that’s where we are now."
Trump's lawyers won't stop lying in court
It's past time for judges to stop giving them the benefit of the doubt.

Nobody has ever told on himself more only to have so many people pretend they didn’t hear it.
Trump claims crime is down to "virtually nothing" in DC & adds the crimes that are happening are "much lesser things. Things that take place in the home they call crime. You know, they'll do anything they can to find something. If a man has a little fight w/the wife they say 'this is a crime. See?'"

THREAD🧵🧵🧵

A couple of the key things to remember over the next few weeks. Things the government will lie about repeatedly, after all, it is led by a serial liar...

1. The government does not HAVE to accept the EHRC transphobic "guidance". It can ignore it, it can reject it, it can amend it...
