This is what Reform UK does.

“These closures are nothing short of a betrayal of local people and staff.”

Attacking councils for considering a four-day working week shows a failure of imagination from Labour.

The evidence is clear: productivity rises, people are healthier, and skills stay in local communities.

When I was a medical student 45 years ago, I clerked in a 13 year old girl with deep jaundice and an abdominal mass. She was Hepatitis B positive. That had led to a primary liver tumour. In a 13-year-old. She was dead within the month. Avoidable with vaccination.
The CDC has endorsed ACIP’s decision of revoking universal access in USA to hepatitis B vaccines at birth. The policy had been in place for 34y and was changed despite no new evidence emerging of any risk of vaccination. #HealthPolicy 🧵
CDC accepts ACIP’s hepatitis B vaccine recommendations for babies
The CDC also said if a baby is not receiving a birth dose of vaccine, the initial dose should be administered no earlier than 2 months of age.

Suspect some female Tory MPs are quietly dying inside at this. When you’re so desperate to get in a bit of gratuitous foreigner-bashing that you find yourself arguing *against* preventative strategies that try to prevent sexual violence, ffs, what have you become?
Dog-whistle and factually incorrect. Ladies, raise your hand if you were sexually assaulted by a boy at school? I’d wager this or a family member is most women’s first experience of sexual violence

Nigel Farage's new strategy is to call the childhood victims of his racism liars while lashing out at any journalists who dare to report his actions.

This is just a small taster of how he would act if he ever got any power

This has been in the press for 2 days.

The Mirror is the only National newspaper to report on it…

The United States was founded on freedom from government-imposed religion.

If you do not understand and respect that, you are un-American.

Christian Nationalists who insist that the U.S. must be ruled by one religion are unconstitutional and, therefore, un-American.

Full stop.
