This Sunday is World AIDS Day, an opportunity to unite to remember those we've lost to AIDS and to support those living with HIV.
Good to speak with the APPG on HIV and AIDS, in support of the UK’s mission to become the first country to end new HIV cases by 2030.

“It is beyond surreal that someone writes in a national newspaper that Liz Truss was a genius and Keir Starmer should walk the plank.”
@mrjamesob.bsky.social believes that Brexiteers are ‘still not ready to admit their mistake’ and so their response is to ‘overthrow the Government'.

Here are the tractors blockading the streets of Whitehall in March this year. They were protesting - you really couldn't make this up - Badenoch's trade policies. 😂

My first day in my new class .... hello fellow Bluesky friends. 👋 Having grown fed up of Musk's toxic cesspit, I'm looking forward to some mature & healthy discussions on here. I don't want an echo chamber - I want challenge and alternate views, but combined with respect & humanity. Here's hoping! 🙏
