@suehard @DrNeilStone I’m so sorry for the loss of your friend. This vaccine, like the vast majority, is stunning in its success. Here’s to the healthier future for women everywhere.

@DrNeilStone @bumblebeenush Absolutely fantastic! My former colleague/friend sadly died aged 34 from cervical cancer if only she could have had the vaccine 😢

ZERO cases of cervical cancer diagnosed in women under age 25 in Australia 🇦🇺 None . Nada . Zip. For the first time since records began! How did this happen? One word VACCINES!!!!!

It should be a much bigger story that JD Vance flew to Hungary, stood on a campaign stage, and told voters to return a head of government widely documented for human rights abuses and democratic backsliding. Then, after his candidate lost, Vance said what had happened during the Hungarian campaign was “one of the worst examples of foreign election interference that I’ve ever seen or ever even read about.” Was he describing himself? The Hungarian people rejected it all. Democracy held, despite America’s intervention, not because of American leadership. The United States has long argued that elections should be free from outside influence. That standard should apply to everyone, including us. nytimes.com/2026/04/07/wor…

I think @EstherMcVey1 needs to resign. We cannot have this sort of misinformation going around which could cause tourist numbers to go down and make our country poorer. An apology and a resignation please.

"The international order is crumbling into disarray," says Chinese leader Xi Jinping. After peace talks between the US and Iran floundered, world leaders are rushing to meet with Xi, signaling growing expectations for China to be a credible force for peace bloom.bg/48S0scK

There's lying, and then there's lying to the point of making yourself look like a complete bellend.

The homelessness charity Centrepoint is to cut ties with its celebrity ambassador Sharon Osbourne after she expressed support for a far-right rally being organised by violent grifting multiply-convicted far-right wanker Tommy Robinson. Centrepoint, which had recently engaged Osbourne as an ambassador for a campaign, said: “This sort of event does not align with our values. Centrepoint has a proud history of supporting young people whatever their background, ethnicity or religion. If we want young people to thrive in this country then we need to ensure our society continues to allow them to live without fear and able to access the opportunities they need to start education or work and leave homelessness behind.” theguardian.com/politics/2026/…

@japantimes I was completely blown away by my trip to China 10 years ago. The scale of it is overwhelming. The natural landscapes stunning. The cities huge and so technologically advanced. Can’t wait to go back one day.

China is now on track to become the world's top tourism economy in the next few years as a sharp drop in foreign visits sets the U.S. back. ebx.sh/9l634H

I'll say it again: China doing their visa-free policy is the most underrated strategic decision they made in recent years. Decades of Western propaganda painting the country as a dystopian hellscape, undone by people simply going there and using their own eyes. And now China is on track to become the most visited country in the world 👇

“There is only one majority in this country and that’s the working class.” Zohran Mamdani has often been told that progressive politics can only work in left-wing enclaves like New York’s northwest Queens. But on CBA Mornings, Mamdani says he’s proven this claim wrong by becoming the mayor of New York City in its totality. Next up is socialism in the whole state, says Mamdani – and then the country. @NYCMayor

This is big news. I first raised this issue in 2022, at the height of the last energy crisis. The ‘link’ added £70 billion to our energy bills in that crisis, and it’s vital we do something about it. Even in a normal year, it adds £5 billion to our bills. I’m looking forward to seeing the details of what the Government proposes to do. We published a roadmap of exactly how to break this link about a year ago. In 2023, in the middle of the last crisis, Breaking the Link would have knocked £43 billion off the nation’s energy bills. Our businesses could have saved £30 billion and households could have saved £13 billion. A NIESR study we commissioned found that, in the same year, inflation could have been lower by a whopping 1.5 percentage points. This would have led to Bank of England rates nearly 1% lower, growth up by 0.6 percentage points, and an extra £36 billion in nominal GDP. Every Briton would have been £300 better off—not just for that year, but for several to come. For too long, we’ve let international gas markets set the price of all our electricity—including home-grown green energy from the wind and sun. It makes no sense. This link leaves British homes and businesses exposed to every global wobble going—Trump’s war on Iran shows that once again. We’re paying more for our electricity than we need to, for no good reason. And we can’t actually enjoy the benefits of cheaper green energy from our own endless supply of wind and sun—unless and until we break the price link between it and fossil gas. It’s that simple. Real energy independence is about making and pricing our own green energy right here. We’ve shown the Government why it matters with our report on the wider economic impact, and we’ve shown them how to do it via our step-by-step roadmap. Breaking the link is the single biggest thing we can do to lower our energy bills and avoid this kind of price crisis—but it’s only one of three energy market reforms we’ve proposed, which together could halve our energy bills. We can nail our energy bills to the floor if we do all three, with massive benefits for our economy, our cost of living, and levels of poverty in our country. What are we waiting for? Our energy market needs reform—the serious, effective kind, not the populist, empty-vessel kind.

🇺🇸 Trump before starting the war : Didn't consult with 🇪🇸 Spain Didn't consult with 🇬🇧 UK Didn't consult with 🇮🇹 Italy Didn't consult with 🇦🇺 Australia Didn't consult with 🇫🇷 France Didn't consult with 🇮🇪 Ireland Didn't consult with 🇨🇦 Canada 🇺🇸 Trump after losing the war : Blaming 🇪🇸 Spain for not helping Blaming 🇬🇧 UK for not helping Blaming 🇮🇹 Italy for not helping Blaming 🇦🇺 Australia for not helping Blaming 🇫🇷 France for not helping Blaming 🇮🇪 Ireland for not helping Blaming 🇨🇦 Canada for not helping This man's politics is 100% based on lies, manipulation and u-turns No wonder a country like 🇮🇷 Iran with no nukes literally made him lose his mind in just few weeks

JD Vance is lecturing the Pope on Catholicism and Pierre Poilievre is lecturing Mark Carney on economics and RFK Jr is lecturing scientists about vaccines and Donald Trump is lecturing the world on tariffs and Pete Hegseth is quoting Pulp Fiction and thinking it’s the Bible

Italy just told America no. Not a small no. A constitutional no. Two U.S. military aircraft loaded with weapons headed to the Middle East. Italy said: you can't land here. Trump posted: "Italy wasn't there for us, we won't be there for them." Here's what most people miss. Italy is the legal sovereign of Sigonella. The Italian commander controls the base. The U.S. is a tenant Global Security, not the landlord. This isn't the first time Italy and the U.S. have stared each other down at Sigonella. It happened in 1985 too. Italian Carabinieri surrounded Delta Force soldiers on the runway. Neither side fired. Italy won that one. Italy just won this one too. Then something rarer happened. Elly Schlein, leader of the opposition, the woman whose entire job is to fight Meloni, stood up and said: "Listen Trump. Even as political opponents, we Italians will not accept any attacks against our country. Especially from your bad mouth." Left and right. Divided on everything. United on this. The "Hub of the Med" runs on Italian permission slips. And apparently, on Italian pride that crosses every political line. Gandalv / @Microinteracti1
