People living in disgusting conditions. Our Government is spending £476m on the militarisation of the border.

On the 10th Anniversary of the Paris Agreement, you’re going to hear a lot about the progress we’ve made — people saying we “are” heading to 2.5 degrees heating instead of four.

I deeply regret to tell you that this is complacent misinformation.

At the end of each year, FDA releases data on antibiotics sold for use in livestock.

It usually changes a few %. This year, it went up 15.8%.

I was shocked & emailed experts/industry groups. Likeliest explanation per a source: industry is not "being good stewards of antibiotics"

This is the health advice in New York on our current situation. The Public are being advised to wear an N95/ffp2 respirator. This is the correct advice. The disparity between this advice which is correct for airborne transmission and UKHSA saying wear an FRSM is huge.
