This pig will never go outside. She’ll spend her shortened life in crates impregnated to produce about 5 litters and then she will be sent to slaughter at about 5 years old. Pigs naturally live 15-20 years. Choose #vegan over cruelty.Challenge22.com 🌱

These figures are utterly damning.
Every 4 weeks of delay in cancer treatment increases the risk of death by up to 10%.
For @rthonwesstreeting.bsky.social to have scrapped the NHS target to diagnose 75% of cancers at stage 1 or 2 is simply scandalous.

You can't have growth if you don't have workers to build your airport expansions Rachel Reeves.
And why would that be?
Brexit saw an exodus of EU citizens from the UK.
Then Covid incapacitated thousands of domestic workers.

Can we build it? No – because Britain may not have enough workers
Rachel Reeves’ bold infrastructure plans for Heathrow, transport, housing and more rely on training a new generation of construction professionals before the shovels go in the ground

It's surreal doing all the "normal" things--watching my kid's soccer game, folding laundry, grocery shopping--in the middle of a kleptocratic coup.

Well the award for most cowardly, boot-lickingest academic society has squarely gone to the American Society of Microbiology, who has taken down features of various non-white scientists. Absolutely pathetic behavior. Those articles are now coming up as “under review”. Truly sickening cowardice here.

Today, Candlemas, is officially the end of the Christmas/Epiphany period. This was widely accepted in medieval times with calendars highlighting the period, still as a time of celebration. Calendars often featured an image of Janus looking both forward and back.

Not just idiotic but plain cruel. Yvette Cooper and Keir Starmer are depriving British young people of fundamental freedoms, which they had. And why? For what? Dreadful and completely unforgivable.
NEW: Yvette Cooper rules out a youth mobility scheme between the UK and EU: "That's not the right starting point for us at all."
Brussels is demanding one as part of the government's "reset" of relations with the bloc.

SEZs and Freeports are stepping stones to charter cities. Rachel Reeves' zoning scheme will privatise the UK.
