Non paywalled article. The fab thing about this article is it started out wanting to be pro exercise and couldn't find anyone to back it up properly.

Great to see a journo doing a good job!

Exercise advice for long covid may be doing more harm than good Exercise has been touted as a tool for managing and treating long covid, but much of the evidence has neglected one of its most debilitating symptoms: post-exertional malaise

💡 "We should be as cautious with exercise in long covid as we have come to be in ME/CFS...I don’t know how often we need to continue to put our finger on that light socket.” @sunsopeningband.bsky.social

GREAT article - completely debunks those trying to push exercise 🙌

Exercise is always a good thing, right? Well, maybe not. For people with long covid or ME/CFS, it can be devastating. And science needs to catch up (all views my own blah blah blah) www.newscientist.com/article/2523...

They think you're stupid.

Nobody ever prepares you for chronic illness. You grow up thinking that if you ever get ill, there will be a cure and then you’re not ill anymore. But what if that never happens and you just stay sick? Our society really isn’t prepared for this.” -@ReaStrawhill

It's a depressing world we live in when the pro-Israel candidate is the infinitely better option.

2 requests if I may

Has anyone had experience of York tests? Did they help?

Also I have a friend that is being told they likely have FND. I'm concerned as they have not had great medical support have structural spinal issues & fibromyalgia. Any advice/quality research to recommend?

I'm not sure what you're trying to say. Also I'm not American so again not sure what they have to do with any of this.

Netanyahu tests Hungary’s Magyar on ICC pledge with ‘invitation’ claim Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu has said that Hungary's incoming leader Péter Magyar invited him to visit, in what would make a mockery of Magyar's promises to respect international law.

This is a war based on lies

EU eyes approval for €90B Ukraine loan on Wednesday Hungary has said it will lift its veto on the loan if oil flows resume through the Druzhba pipeline.

🇺🇦 Good news for Ukraine. Europe must keep supporting our allies in their battle against Putin's illegal war.

"will you be affected by the changes (which I disagree with) to ILR"

Your opinion isn't relevant here - Labour's policies are.

"and they have introduced their own criminal justice bill which negates some, not all Tory policies"

That's either outright ignorance or an outright lie.

Next week’s disability cuts will make people destitute – and you might not understand how bad they are until it’s too late | Frances Ryan If new claimants don’t meet strict criteria, they’ll lose half of the health element of universal credit. Don’t ignore that: in life’s lottery, that could easily be you, says Guardian columnist France...

Are you asking how a disabled person is being affected by disability cuts? Or how an immigrant is affected by changes to ILR? Or as an immigrant how I can no longer risk protesting against a genocide bc Labour has not only failed to repeal the Tory's Criminal Justice Bill but instead expanded on it?

I'm disabled. I'm an immigrant. I'm against genocide. I believe in the right to protest.

Why would I vote for this version of Labour again?

Starmer isn't going to survive after the May elections anyway.

I don't think he thinks we will forget - I think HE forgot and since his invitation to BN last week, he's been reminded by advisors that ICC obligations mean BN would be arrested should he visit Hungary. Magyar is a world better than Orban but he's still very right-wing and a zio.

That's exactly why he told him. Magyar effectively gave Netanyahu a head's up to not accept the invitation to visit that Magyar offered BN last week.

Not really. He was never going to arrest BN. Last week Magyar invited BN to visit because Magyar is a zionist. His statement yesterday was merely a performance and a head's up to BN to not accept his invitation.

For those attending the White House Correspondents' Dinner this weekend, a small question:

When you're sitting there at your table, do you think it'll cross your mind that the guest of honor is actively covering up his role in a massive child sex trafficking operation?
