Giving up smoking - how to do it without distressing yourself (it depletes your vitamin levels that are vtal for a strong immune system)

@Anniepop2027 @jeremycorbyn @MarinaPurkiss Russian assets don't want Iran defeated... #JustSaying

@jeremycorbyn @MarinaPurkiss No he’s not .. he’s defending our assets .. grow up

This is a reckless act of escalation that endangers us all. No discussion. No debate. What a disgrace. How on earth can the Prime Minister still pretend we are not involved? It doesn't matter how he dresses it up. Britain is participating in an illegal war of aggression.

The "Headache" that kills in 24 hours.🧵 As a doctor, this is the one diagnosis that genuinely scares me. Bacterial Meningitis doesn't give you days to "wait and see." It gives you hours. By the time you realize it's not just a flu, it’s often too late. 👉Stop scrolling and memorize these 3 clinical red flags: 1. The Fused Neck: This isn't a "stiff muscle" from sleeping wrong. If you have a fever and literally cannot touch your chin to your chest - that is Nuchal Rigidity. It’s an emergency. Period. 2. The "Glass Test" Rash: If you see tiny purple pin-pricks on the skin, press a clear glass firmly against them. If the spots don't fade/disappear under the glass, your blood is leaking. That’s Septicemia. Run to the ER. 3. Agonizing Photophobia: It’s not just "bright lights are annoying." It’s a physical, painful wince at a smartphone screen or a bedside lamp. 👉How to actually stay safe? 1. Mask up in crowds: It’s a respiratory drop infection. If there’s an outbreak in your school/hostel, a mask is your best friend. 2. Stop sharing everything: Vapes, spoons, water bottles, cigarettes. If their saliva is on it, the bacteria is on it. 3. Hygiene: Wash your hands like your life depends on it. 4. Vaccines: Check your records for MenACWY/MenB when you have a minute. It’s the ultimate insurance policy.

We've seen lots of posts online suggesting there's some kind of conspiracy involving the 2025 pandemic simulation Exercise Pegasus and the recent Meningitis B outbreak in Kent. There’s zero evidence of this. We delve into the facts 👇 fullfact.org/health/exercis…

Absolutely. However hard they try - he won't play the game. His resilience is phenomenal.

@snibs14 This will cheer you up then gov.uk/government/pub…

We (UK / EU) should/could be really working on developing FUSION with, to start, generating electricity but going further with trying to create higher elements if possible? "We" could provide the entire world with cheap wholly renewable electricity and stop most global warming.

Social media posts shared hundreds of times falsely claim Keir Starmer has said the UK may need to go into another lockdown if meningitis cases continue to increase. Number 10 confirmed he did not make these comments. fullfact.org/health/keir-st…

Seems like Reform haven't "reformed" their candidate selection processes. Still a Party that attracts sex pests, grifters, criminals, liars, racists & fraudsters far more than anyone else. Makes you wonder why anyone votes for them, really. theguardian.com/politics/2026/…

@msjanebond007 Yes exactly. And a lot of the senior clerics who "appointed" him (ie were bullied into it) asked for him to be present, as that is the way its done. Bit like crowning King Charles without him being in Westminster Abbey, & not having been seen for a week...

@BpsmithUk in the first days of the attack, I definitely read that he had been killed with all his family - I am certain it was on here but sadly can't remember who posted it

In power for 2wks, & all he has done is issue two written, generic statements. Nobody as seen him or heard his voice. Known to have been hit by Israel's first strike of this campaign, 3wks ago. Not present for the ceremony of being chosen as Supreme Leader. He's definitely dead.

So the Meningitis B vaccine for teenagers and young adults was withdrawn in 2015 as it was deemed not cost effective. 2015? Who was in government in 2015? Who was the Health Secretary? @Jeremy_Hunt @KemiBadenoch @Conservatives @kevinhollinrake @MelJStride @pritipatel @griffitha

No they won't, Steven. - This is a prediction, not a #Fact - Cornwall Insight predicts for next Quarter, not year - Energy Price Cap only lasts 3 months, so they predict increase of £84 next quarter - Thats for "average households". Mine will only go up 20% on £180, so £12/month.

I’m seeing some confused reporting today that "Cornwall Insight is prediction the energy Priec Cap will rise by £332 a year in July." That's not possible as each new Cap only lasts 3mths and Cornwall's prediction is only about the July one. A closer description would be "Cornwall Insight is predicting that the July to Sept Price Cap will rise by 20%." Still horrid, but the £332 figure really doesn't cut it for many reasons. 1. The July Price Cap only lasts 3mths not a year. Cornwall gives an annualised figure, but that has to be pro-rata'd over the time period, which is equivalent to a rough rise of £80 over the July-Sept Cap. 2. The £332 figure is based on Ofgem’s “typical use” annual benchmark - yet many use more and many less than that. The Cap itself doesn't limit the total you can pay, it limits the unit rate and standing charges of domestic customers on firm's Standard Variable tariffs. 3. The following Price Cap, starting October will be based on wholesale markets from mid-May to mid-August (and each subsequent Cap over the next year even further out). Clearly we are not there yet. If the conflict is over by then the Oct Cap could drop again, if its not, it could get even higher. Cornwalls prediction is specifically only for the July Price Cap not those further out (some others firms do public predictions further out)

It’s happening and I really don’t get the push against cleaner air, more secure and cheaper energy .. unless of course there are powerful lobbies paying to resist.

Military checkpoints are reportedly declining across Tehran after Israeli strikes target IRGC and Basij positions, with reports of hit-and-run attacks on remaining posts by local individuals. #Iran

The downed Russian Ka-52 attack helicopter was filmed burning in a field after being struck, confirming the loss. #Ukraine

History is repeating itself. Here comes another fossil fuel energy crisis and we still have an energy market where the price of the green energy we make here in Britain is tied to the global price for gas. I’ve called on successive governments to break this absurd link, to no avail. We have the means to nail our energy bills to the floor and keep them there, and reap massive economic benefits to doing so, through lower inflation and lending rates. The current fee for all in wholesale energy creates windfall profits for oil companies at great expense to the rest of us and the country we live in. mirror.co.uk/money/no-10-ur…

@snibs14 I keep potatoes & onions in the salad drawer in my fridge, & bread in te main compartment. They last much longer that way.

air shelves water (condensation) never eggs inevitable open tin of catfood fizzy SodaStream water greens for guinea-pigs probably bit of spillage which I ought to clean

@vicsinghb @TheSolarShed He's just told you that he's waited your 15 years, with no drop off. There are plenty of peer-reviewed scientific studies showing they don't "drop off" at 20 years, or even longer. Thats a pretty good return on investment. You should be cleaning them, not removing them.

@TheSolarShed Yeah wait for the drop off. I've been removing them off hundreds of properties. They are NOT sustainable.

Kevin is an idiot! PV's last 20 years despite what manufacturers claim. There is a drop off in generation after 15. The storage batteries only last 20 years. They have many toxic chemicals That s NOT sustainability
