Reaching net zero by 2050 ‘cheaper for UK than one fossil fuel crisis’ Climate change committee finds move to renewable energy would also bring health, economic and security benefits

Our dependency on fossil fuels makes us vulnerable. Wars across the world are pushing up prices for households in the UK.

Why keep waiting for the next crisis? We need to transition to clean power as fast as we can to protect people and our economy.

Recently got a Novavax dose. Luckily it went without a hitch. But when my husband asked the pharmacist if he’d been giving many vaccinations or not, he said, For COVID? No, not too many. I think most people have immunity to it by now.

COVID-aware folks, I think we’re in for a long(er) fight.

'Government’s latest proposals would accelerate this cruel trend' Disabled people are being pushed into poverty - we must stop this now, says York Citizens Advice

Disabled people being pushed into poverty.

People with disabilities need support, not benefit cuts.

Requirement to score 4 points for an activity leads to loss of PIP support.

Govts attack human welfare whilst promoting corporate welfare.

We are all one event away from needing disability support

Tomorrow Wes Streeting will remove trans minors ability to access, and doctors to prescribe, cross-sex hormones.

Try as it might Labour will never eradicate trans people. They cannot, and should not, change who they are. All Labour will do is make trans lives harder - with more harm and more death.

I know I’ve got some Labour local gov’t types following me, so I want to say this clearly so that you can share it internally as appropriate: I will never again vote Labour while these policies, or Wes Streeting, are in place. I will not vote Labour at any level because of this.

The immune system is not a muscle.

It is a cleansing fire.

It causes collateral damage.

It has a limited supply of fuel.

It can get out of control.

Don’t burn your whole house down every time by catching every disease without caution.

The thing that I don't think they've fully grasped is because we've had two nearly three generations of adults who have been vaccinated, people are going to realize pretty quickly shit is bad when suddenly their kids are dying.

1. Fareed Zakaria:

Israel and the US have separate goals in this war.

What Israel wants is an Iranian state that can’t function, much like what happened to Syria for a decade.

Syria mired in civil war actually helped Israel — one more enemy taken off the board.

Screenshot of a news article from The Post titled “Repeatedly getting Covid doesn’t build immunity, ‘it’s more like accumulating damage’,” written by Melanie Earley of RNZ and dated March 10, 2026. Below the headline is a portrait of leading vaccinologist and associate professor Dr Helen Petousis-Harris, shown facing the camera against a dark background. The article discusses how repeated COVID-19 infections may cause cumulative harm rather than building lasting immunity.

"Leading vaccinologist Helen Petousis-Harris says there's not enough awareness of the impact of COVID-19 on overall health."

"What many people don't realise is that getting COVID repeatedly is not like building immunity, it's more like accumulating damage," she says.

How much more evidence do we need? The ultra-rich and the governments supporting them will destroy everything for the sake of profit, power and pride. Nothing is precious to them - not human life, not the living world - except their own wealth and status. Our survival depends on resisting them.

Attacks leave dead vs killed

Just fascinating to see Blair, a man whose reputation was ruined by the Iraq war, advocate joining a war that is exponentially stupider and more chaotic. How is it possible to learn nothing from the worst mistake of your life?

"This is a life and death story for the UK – so why is it being brushed under the carpet?"

It is a hideous scandal that they can publish a chart as obvious as this and not even mention the words 'covid infections'.

🚨
Are people sicker now than in 2019?

Civil servants in England are.
Sickness absence rates have *risen by between 12% to 23% across the age groups*.

Are things getting worse?
It certainly looks like it.

This is exactly what we predicted repeat covid infection would do.

I’m so sorry ❤️

This was policy-based evidence-making used to give the backbenchers a soundbite & a challenge (where are you getting the £10 billion from) on the hope they won't spot it is both in 30 years + just made-up

But 2026 immig policy does seem to cost about £7-14 billion by eliminating net migration

Just like they did with the Hamas representatives attending ceasefire talks in Doha?

Is this just for the love of war crimes at this point? Fucking heinous.

Exclusive: Iranian girls killed by ‘double-tap’ strikes on Minab school Eyewitnesses describe second blast which killed survivors as they sheltered in prayer hall

The girls’ school in Iran, where 165 people were killed by an apparent US-Israeli attack, was hit with two strikes, with the second missile killing sheltering survivors, two first responders and the parent of a slain child have told Middle East Eye.

#BREAKING | Israeli and U.S. warplanes are carpet bombing the Iranian capital, Tehran.

Again: Not hyperbole, misinterpretation, or a joke that Christian Dominionism is a strain of apocalyptic accelerationism which VERY LITERALLY SEEKS to hasten their vision of the Biblical end of the world, & the people who believe this have VERY CAREFULLY worked their way into the halls of U.S. power

The main reason UK energy prices are so high is not net zero but the fact the price of gas still sets the price of electricity. Breaking that link should be the priority.

Fines for UK financial crime nosedive to ‘pitiful’ lows Penalties from the FCA drop by 78% in five years as it prepares to take on a new role as 'super-regulator'

strikes me that one of the most obvious things this government should do is properly resource regulators. There’s a gigantic gap between law and its enforcement, yet politicians always focus on announcing new rules rather than applying the old ones www.thebureauinvestigates.com/stories/2026...

COVID and the Heart: It Spares No One | Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health New evidence suggests anyone infected with COVID is at higher risk for heart issues—a risk that persists even in relatively healthy people long after the illness has passed.

We've known this for four years. No heart is spared by a COVID infection.

If I was @zackpolanski.bsky.social, I would be pointing out to the BBC that whatever model they use to justify giving Farage & his boot-lickers season tickets for every BBC show under the sun must surely now treat Green Party politicians in exactly the same way. Might even be one for the lawyers...
