All these racists forcing people out of the UK NHS will be the first to kick off when they have to wait longer in A & E and for appointments. Delusion runs strong with them.

Never forget. This history is already being rewritten.
Reminder The Tories, Labour, and Reform UK all back deregulated free zones. These zones are Ponzi schemes where State aid (public money) is used as profit motive for corporations like Blackrock, Vanguard, and Blackstone set for 25 years, that is the duration of the licenses
Nigel Farage skipping Parliament 'to help Donald Trump meddle with UK politics'
Reform Party UK Exposed 🇬🇧 Sarah White ‘concerned mum’ (who’s actually branch chair of a Reform UK branch and candidate). Arrested for ‘waving a flag’ (she was actually arrested on suspicion of breaching a Section 14 order because the Civic Centre was outside of the protest area.)
1) A new paper found slight increase of Fibroblast growth factor 21 (FGF-21) in ME/CFS patients compare to controls. FGF-21 is a hormone-like protein that helps to regulate metabolism and has been found to be increased in previous ME/CFS studies.
Labour's 30 hours free childcare will not benefit the poorest families Low-income workers, terminally ill parents, disabled single parents, and some migrant families will all miss out on Labour's 30 hours free childcare www.thecanary.co/uk/analysis/...
Without the small boats problem, which Farage caused, Reform wouldn't exist.

Telling people from marginalised groups "Don't worry it'll be okay" is super ignorant, infantilising, and has been proven so many times it never works that way. Once any form of bigotry exists, if you don't quash it, it becomes normalised.

Jessica Elgot Kemi Badenoch has told multiple interviews she gained a place at Stanford medical school - or pre-med - aged 16, but her parents couldn’t afford it even with a partial scholarship. I’ve spoken to Stanford admissions officers who say this is impossible
Keir Starmer’s new director of communications isn’t just the founder of Portland Communications – which represented Qatar, Russia and Kazakhstan – he’s also come straight from the board of the anti-trans charity Sex Matters. The government is heading in a dark direction.
Apparently “leading” lawyers and “experts” say that the Good Friday Agreement is no obstacle to UK leaving ECHR. Me, being neither, merely sets out what the Good Friday Agreement expressly says. davidallengreen.com/2023/07/why-...
These articles suggest Labour want out of ECHR as much as Reform now. We are now in uncharted waters. www.thetimes.com/uk/politics/...

Reform UK, the right leaning think tank Policy Exchange, and some Labour grandees, are all pushing for us to either leave the ECHR, or disapply parts of it temporarily or permanently. This puts me, you and everyone at risk, not just those seeking sanctuary.
The gravity of leaving ECHR cannot be understated. news.sky.com/story/nigel-...
Waking up every morning and not knowing if your body is going to function, or how, is definitely one of the hardest and most debilitating aspects of being disabled. Any plans, no matter how much you want/need to do them, can be stopped at any moment, totally out of your control.

Keir Starmer has appointed as his new Comms Director Tim Allan who was a board member of the hate group Sex Matters. It's no longer even pretending to adhere to its Manifesto promise to "remove indignities for trans people who deserve recognition and acceptance."

Farage is whipping up anger against the ECHR with false claims. As The Bear brilliantly writes: “The ECHR [is] the foundation that protects you from your own government.” That's why leaving the ECHR would be a Really Bad Idea.

For all those people that keep thinking Farage is a decent chap on the same level as your average Joe, let’s take a moment to ponder this fact. Farage earns more money than any other MP right now. The only life he wants to improve is his…and he is doing a very good job too…
This is an article that the @nytimes.com, along with the rest of our traditional outlets, would never dare to run—they’re all too fearful of their new overlords. It’s also why supporting independent journalism, like @commondreams.org, is so critical to defeating these fascists—we need the truth.
Liberal Democrat Leader Ed Davey will tomorrow table a motion in Parliament in an attempt to force the Government to publish legal advice it has received on potential breaches of international law in the Israel-Gaza conflict
Money is being channelled into an assault on rights across Europe – advanced by Americans and benefiting Russia. It is a dedicated campaign with long-term implications. Katherine Stewart reports

Just 1.5 minutes, with minimal hesitation and repetition, and no deviation, of the exact opposite of what Reform has to say on people claiming asylum in this country. Good for BBC Westminster Hour to be making the space for these values - which are truly, really British.
For god’s sake someone remind the bbc.
While you are looking at Trump, the oligarchs are seeding themselves deeper into the fabric of society, your government, and your resources. Your media is captured, your institutions are captured, your politicians are captured, and your algorithms are captured. A full system reboot is needed. #3E
They’ll probably some crapy AI bs that will be so bad it would be laughable in any other circumstance.
Clayton “MP” Fartrage is skipping the return to parliament next week to fly to the USA. If he were a kid skipping the start of the school year there would be fines and sanctions flying around. No doubt he’ll be bad-mouthing the UK again although he doesn’t need to leave the country to do that.
At the UN Security Council, as PM Yulia Svyrydenko showed the body of a child killed in a Russian strike, Russian representatives stared into their phones. A stark reminder: for Moscow, human life means nothing, cynicism is their official policy.
🚨NOW 404 DAYS since our nuclear test veterans - national heroes in their eighties - requested a meeting with Prime Minister Keir Starmer to discuss how he will honour the commitment Labour made to their campaign for justice and compensation in opposition youtu.be/hSQNLn2Ocr8?...
3/3 modern society. And to help make our society far more inclusive, empathetic and supportive. I guess that there is the problem. That’s ‘woke’, a term that has been abused and twisted by a minority of far-right fascists oligarchs to mean ‘those people are getting more than me at my expense’.
2/3 influence. We may feel at times these laws have gone too far or are being interpreted wrong, but the damage done by this is far smaller than the damage done by unscrupulous people if we don’t have these laws. And we shouldn’t be scrapping those laws in their entirety, but adapting them to fit
1/3 Why do people think we have human rights laws, employment laws, discrimination, safeguarding, health and safety, disability, etc etc? All our laws have slowly been introduced and grown because unscrupulous people, usually super wealthy employers have abused those with less money and
2/2 you beyond exhausted (there’s now way to describe it) & with brain fog, the effort required to constantly be trying to retrain your brain from its go to ableism is in itself exhausting. Exacerbating the whole thing. Human society needs a rest on its thinking, sadly it’s seems to be regressing.
1/2 Not just newly disabled. Even those of us with a few decades under our belts can regress to outdated thinking about ourselves. Particularly when you have an illness that 1, still isn’t accepted and 2, you have an illness that fluctuates. I was given CBT to help, but with a condition that leaves
The people protesting outside the Epping hotel are more of a danger to the public than the residents inside.
Tesla said it had no data from a fatal Autopilot crash. A hacker found it. Back in 2019, a Tesla on Autopilot crashed in Key Largo, killing a couple. Tesla told the family there was no crash data available.
A new study identifies a protein called SMPDL3B as a possible key factor in Myalgic Encephalomyelitis (ME/CFS). It could explain immune problems, symptom severity, and even point to new treatments. Here’s a full breakdown - our preliminary RNA data supports this finding: 🧵
Sick of BBC continuously promoting Reform U.K. and ignoring other parties with far more representation? Please sign the petition petition.parliament.uk/petitions/71...
Utter bollocks as usual. The only mention of the ECHR was in confirming that it wasn't considered at all by the judges. Deliberate lying to incite hatred and division by the the frog-faced gobshite.

In other news, 13 million people need vaccines or they might be hospitalised or worse. I don’t see Reform talking about these folks.
Been saying for a while that it is time for #pwME to take the UK govt / the NHS to court. Really hoping this is it, and that we can get a legal ruling to force them to actually fix this mess. Please everybody give what you can!
The billionaire press barons must be having a right laugh… Here we are distracted & arguing over asylum seekers (0.2% of the population) Meanwhile, billionaires (just 0.0002% of the population) hoard more wealth than half the UK Immigration isn’t draining us Inequality is.
Knew it before he was elected. Their intentions were so clear, I can’t believe so many people couldn’t see it or chose not to see it.
Pure evil👎

In August, Keir Starmer has tweeted 61 times. 22 of those tweets were about immigration. 100% of his tweets about immigration painted immigration in a negative light. If you're not on Twitter, you won't be aware of what you're missing. This thread collects EVERY tweet he posted about immigration.
‘Over-diagnosis’ of child mental health? No — it’s an unhealthy environment of schools as exam factories, stressed parents and a looming climate crisis. Our children deserve better. #MentalHealth
Reform claims it is concerned about women's safety, but mass detention and deportation would only do them harm writes Carenza Arnold @4refugeewomen.bsky.social leftfootforward.org/2025/08/nige...
Most of the politicians in parliament have no intention of changing that. Instead, they aspire to join that same rich brigade.
61% of local govt money is spent on social care. Social care privatized since the 1980s, mainly controlled by corporations and private equity, profit margins of up to 40%, leaves little for other services. Poorest areas hardest hit. Fund it from general taxation. www.local.gov.uk/about/campai...
UK govt handed £895bn of QE to banks. It bought bonds/gilts, now selling them at a loss. It also pays interest on banks' central reserves. Costs the public purse £22bn a year and is avoidable. Profits at big four banks doubled since the pandemic. Windfall tax could raise £8bn. Tax the banks.
Reform’s use of women’s safety as cover for racism is not just hypocritical, it’s dangerous. We’re fighting back. Join us 👇 https://t.co/xhzn58vwa3
What the **** has become of us? Total "Nigels" filming themselves breaking the law and posting it on the interwebs. Someone in Manchester knows who this guy is.
Archbishop condemns Farage's deportation plan. Farage previously said Christianity "should be recognised by Government at all levels". Any evidence of that in his policies? Christianity was founded by a brown man, a refugee. St. George was a Turkish man who never visited England.

Of course they are. But the zeal with which they have embraced corruption is astonishing.
We're all just one moment away from a different life. One diagnosis, one crisis, or one accident away from a completely different life. Life doesn’t ask before it changes, so this is just a reminder to not take your health or physical abilities for granted.
Hi, immunologist here: (a scientist who studies immune & inflammatory processes) RFK Jr is talking absolute bullshit when he says he can “see in kids faces that they have inflammation” That’s NOT how immunology works. He is an anti-science profiteer. Start calling him such.
What RFK is doing to healthcare in the US the UK govt are doing to trans healthcare in the UK. Same Playbook, same bullshit, same results. If you can understand one and not the other, you are part of the problem.
You can't "both sides" oppression and hate towards marginalised groups. Being "neutral" means siding with the oppressors. You're either against all oppression, or you're an oppressor.
This is good, very, very good.
Yep, ADHD and autism with ME is a particularly cruel combination. My PTSD and anxiety do also cause issues but by no means as bad.
Portuguese President Marcelo Rebelo de Sousa said on Wednesday, August 27, that US President Donald Trump is a "Russian asset." The Portuguese leader also accused the American of strategically helping Russia👇
I do ours in the washing machine but turn the spin off. So far so good, but I’m sure now I’ve said that the next time I do it the machine will blow up 🥴😂
Apparently the UK government are doing an emergency alert test on the 7th of September so just in case anyone knows any current domestic abuse victims who would need to have their safety phones switched off so as not to be outed, please pass it in.
We need our own or an EU nationally funded drugs research and manufacturing company to take on the blackmailing and rip-off drugs companies. They see the NHS and other national health services as their cash cow.
Don't you just adore the MP for Clacton who hates the EU but is happy to take a £73k a year pension from them; pays tax in Belgium not the UK; applied for a German passport after Brexit and wants to exit the ECHR which will take away human rights for all UK citizens. What a guy!
1) 7 new ME/CFS projects have received funding from the Dutch research agency ZonMw. All projects look high-quality and focus on different aspects such as the brain, muscle, microbiome, viruses, orthostatic intolerance, and the immune system. A brief overview 🧵
There are 69.23 million people in the UK. Last year, 36,000 people arrived on small boats. That’s a 0.052% increase to the population. Not 10%. Not even 1%. Not even 0.1%. 0.052%. If I baked a cake, that wouldn’t even be a crumb. Why the fuck is it THE story-of-the-day in the UK, every day?
This is insanity. This is the sign of a government that has lost its mind.
We need all DAs to get on board with this. The only way to stop these criminals is to prosecute them #USDemocracy
