A headline that would have been unthinkable a few months ago

Nigel Farage is the biggest charlatan in British political history.

And here's what his constitutents in Clacton really think:

Yesterday they gave £3bn to Thames Water.
Today they have to take £5bn off Disabled people.

It should be the other way around.

Currently reading a study about influenza aerosol transmission, published in 2020 and shows more RNA copies (log scale) in fine aerosol fraction.

In 2020…

and we still haven’t sorted out air safety in hospitals, and we are still whinging about flu being such a big problem (which it is).

Pandemics change people. We aren’t used to dealing with the mass death, disability & uncertainty that comes with them

Unfortunately due to technology & misinformation, society is choosing NOT to process its collective trauma

It IS changing us. Not for the better. We’re detached, colder & apathetic

"Measles is a highly contagious, serious airborne disease caused by a virus that can lead to severe complications and death."

First, trying to contain measles without using the word airborne makes as much sense as trying to control SARS by saying it's not airborne.

Second, WHO can say airborne.

“measles doesn’t kill anyone, touch grass, parent better, no masks ever!”

This was a response to my masks in healthcare article. Someone took the time to email me just to spread harmful lies.

We need masks in healthcare.

To protect the vulnerable AND those who won’t protect themselves:

If you are the friend or relative of someone dealing with a distressing situation, I am begging you to talk to an uninvolved friend, relative, or therapist about any worries or anxieties the situation may be creating for you.

Yes, I work out in a respirator.

I was used to it anyway because I wore one when I was a road cyclist in London.

It means I get a good workout, and nothing else.

Brain Injury Doctor here,
Covid loves damaging the brain.
We will continue to see the effects for years to come.

Midlife Crisis Marathon Training: Day 1

I alternated running and walking for a minute each for 20 min.
Distance: 1.53 miles

It was surprisingly hard and everything jiggled. It’s almost like you’re not supposed to stop running for 5 years then pick it up again…

URGENT deadline worth £10,000s to some all under 73s should check!
It's about boosting your future or current State Pension by filling in missing National Insurance years. Sounds boring but is incredibly lucrative.

Tesla paid $0 in federal income tax last year.

2022: $0
2021: $0
2020: $0
2019: $0
2018: $0

Tesla reported $6.7 billion in profit in those years.

My once fractured wrist is now cast-free and feeling (almost) brand new thanks to the NHS

Despite being under a lot of pressure, they were brilliant

Shame on the Starmer government for pursuing the privatisation and thus destruction of this vital public service

When I trained in medicine I was told that Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS/ME) was rare. I expected to see a handful of cases in my whole career.

Now I have Long Covid related CFS myself, I know of many affected colleagues, & saddest of all, 3 of my kids’ friends.

Any society where wealth is vastly unevenly distributed is by definition anti-democratic, even if it has the right to vote.

One of the many ways to achieve democracy is to smash neo-liberal capitalism in favor of govt provided basic income, healthcare, food, and shelter, and transportation for all.

People in the UK, if you have a problem with the likes of Elon Musk
donating £100,000 to the Reform Party, please sign this Parliamentary Petition: Tighten the rules on political donations, and please share it widely

They shall henceforth be referred to as swasticars by me too. 😂

Not a single Reform MP has bothered to turn up to today's House of Commons debate on tackling violence against women and girls

Stop framing abolishing fact checking as an embrace of free speech! Fact checking is speech!

It's that time of year again where we share Tom Gill's "Dangers of Shelf Ice" illustration.

Please stay off the beaches near the waterline, in fact you may not know where the beach ends and the waterline begins because of the ice and snow.

Good riddance to another troublesome tooth!

My teeth are dreadful. I like to blame the 18 months I spent vomiting during two delightful pregnancies, rather than the fact I never remember to floss!
