3.1 million have long covid in the UK.

When a UN Special Rapporteur saw Tory welfare and treatment of the sick and disabled he called it a 'human catastrophe'. #RachelReeves looks at the UK economy and decides just who should carry the burden of fixing it: yes, the very same sick and disabled people. And then calls it a 'moral case'!

This is what should be on every front page right now. What's happening in the US right now is an illegal power grab by a private citizen. IT'S A COUP.

It's a digital coup. It's Musk who's leading it. The consequences are terrifying. And it's coming for us next.

IT IS A COUP
This is what should be on every front page in 150 point banner headlines. All I have is this Substack but I lay it beneath your feet and pray to a higher power that I'm wrong.

My daughter has her first appointment at the LC clinic tomorrow & we have no idea what to expect.

Any experiences of these places to share or tips for us on how to prepare would be really helpful. Thanks! 🙏
