Let's be clear: no one should be taking medical advice from the man who told Americans to inject bleach.

To moms worried about the Tylenol they took while pregnant: you deserve better than being RFK Jr's scapegoat.

And to the autism community: you are loved exactly as you are.

Agents believe US 'no longer safe for international students' Decline in perceptions of both the UK and US as welcoming destinations, but UK remains most attractive

Former UK-US ambassador Sir Kim Darroch thinks Trump has made a category error, if he thinks Putin is angling for a land deal. Putin's only aim is the total subjugation of Ukraine. His objective in Alaska is a deal that he knows Ukraine cannot accept, making Zelenskyy "the difficult one" again. ~AA

I personally think Trump is more afraid of what the Epstein files can reveal about their joint Russian financial connections (remember they fell out in a bidding war over the Palm Beach mansion and Russian oligarch Dmitry Rybolovlev) rather than direct sex kompromat

The radicalisation spiral Why does it happen and can it be stopped?

New post:

"The Radicalisation Spiral"

Why are so many people becoming radicalised? Is there any way to stop it?

With an antivaxxer running the US health dept + extreme discourse dominating politics it's an increasingly pressing question.

Around 1 in 4 new students are unprotected against 4 deadly types of meningitis. Over 26% of new students missed their free MenACWY vaccine in school and remain unprotected.

The MenACWY vaccine helps protect against life-threatening illnesses like #Meningitis and #Sepsis. 💪

It's offered to teenagers in school, but can be given up to the age of 25 for free if it's been missed.

We're encouraging parents and young people to contact their GP practice to catch up.

Any government serious about improving the health of it’s citizens would do all it could to promote exercise- and this is easiest to do as part of daily living. Active travel, 15 minute cities and access to green spaces should be priorities.
