I'm a vicar in a small rural village. I could never say this to my flock because of the outcry, but Reform are blatantly opposed to genuine Christian values and it's clear that anyone considering voting for them has not been listening to a single word I say each week

Happy International Women’s Day

Why don't people grasp how serious this is? Across an entire population, losing more than three years of your healthy life expectancy... That is just staggering. Especially because of this:

The global average atmospheric temperature will follow very quickly, even creating a new permanent plateau by mid-2026, of around +2.5°C compared to the 1850-1900 baseline. For those who want to follow it all for themselves, here are some important links:

Stronger rights at work. Better protections for renters. Delivered by Labour. Threatened by Reform. Nigel Farage has declared war on the interests of working people.

Long COVID hasn’t disappeared. People continue to develop it after new infections—yet the myth that it’s “over” still persists. Bára’s story shows the reality: after her 3rd COVID‑19 infection in 2025, she became house‑bound with severe fatigue and heart issues.

We've updated our infographic on diseases that can be transmitted through the air we breathe, adding Norovirus. Most viruses can survive for one to several hours in a poorly ventilated room. See the excellent article in @nytimes on this topic: nypost.com/2026/02/14/hea…

Cardiovascular complications from covid-19 have been seen widely since the early days of the pandemic. Katharine Lang reports on why covid-19 is “a vascular disease masquerading as a respiratory one” bmj.com/content/392/bm…

Do you know which whacky loons say that covid infections increase the risk of heart disease? The British Heart Foundation.

Covid-19 is not just a respiratory infection. Cardiovascular symptoms are seen in acute and long covid. Katharine Lang reports on what we’ve learnt since the onset of the pandemic bmj.com/content/392/bm…

We're a couple of weeks behind Scotland, but the next wave is hitting the young kids here too. Strap in, mask up. This generation have never been vaccinated here, just endlessly infected. It's a travesty. If they ever find out about what made them ill, they will not forgive.

OMG. THIS NEEDS TO GO VIRAL. Former professional wrestler Dave Bautista on Donald Trump:

EXCL: A churchwarden from Potters Bar who works for family of ultra-secretive Kazakhstan-born billionaire is man behind £200K of donations to Reform UK John “Bill” Simpson would not discuss the source of funds when reached by phone last week thetimes.com/uk/politics/ar…

There’s always a tweet, isn’t there?

It's absolutely crazy to me that everyone is talking about Covid's T cell lymphopenia and immunological harm without acknowledging that when I brought it up 5 years 7 months ago, and never abandoned the hypothesis, I was labeled a "crank" by NYT writers, professors, and tech founders. It's like people attacked me personally because I wasnt selling some kind of treatment at the same time.

Fucking prick My son spent 6 months in Iraq, and then two 7 month tours of Afghanistan with the Royal Marines He fought hard in Sangin saw friends die, or be maimed. He bears scars of his own, and he did it because the USA triggered article 5 Risible, amoral fucking bastard

Tis analysis shapes all my thinking about the future of the US right now, and it explains why Trump and the GOP are behaving the way they do. There is a near zero chance a Democrat will be sworn in as President in 2029, no matter how people vote. bylinetimes.com/2026/01/22/tru…
