Dr Peter Marks, "Vaccines have been studied very extensively for being potentially associated with autism"

"That theory has been debunked"

"One study in Denmark, over 600,000 children. It shows that if anything, children had a lower rate of autism than unvaccinated children"

No Other Land depicts the horrifying violence Palestinians in the West Bank endure under apartheid.

Yesterday, its co-director Hamdan Ballal was beaten in his home by settlers before being detained by Israeli forces.

People applauded Hamdan. Now they are silent. Free Hamdan.

Shame on @uofglasgow.bsky.social management for refusing to divest £6.8mil from arms companies to end their complicity in genocide.

The people of Glasgow stand against genocide.

We stand with Palestinians, the hunger strikers & Glasgow University Justice for Palestine Society.

This is a seminal moment: a Labour government cutting disability benefits. Not just continuing Tory levels. Cutting.

This comes after a week of speculation, itself an act of cruelty by a government toying with people’s dignity.

These cuts are disgraceful - and they will cost lives.

Israel's siege on Gaza, the blocking of essential aid and the cutting off of electricity are textbook acts of genocide, designed to systematically starve 2 million people.

It's shameful the Labour government continues to refuse to recognise this for what it truly is: genocide.
