Zack Polanski on BBC Southeast,
"Rent controls would put £18 billion of purchasing power into communities than going to private landlords"
"We live in the sixth wealthiest country in the world there is no need for councils to be strapped for cash"
When are the #IPC going to update their guidance in line with the science of transmission of pathogens in hospitals?

Screenshot of a tweet by The Bulwark (@BulwarkOnline) quoting Ambassador Pressman (@AmbPressman) explaining how Hungarian opposition leader Magyar defeated Viktor Orbán by framing Orbán and his Fidesz party as a criminal organization and connecting that message to rural Hungarians' lived experiences. The embedded video shows a man speaking in front of a bookshelf.
We should take the same lesson and apply it to the criminal enterprise being run by Trump and his family. Then boot them from power just like voters just did to Orbán.

The Inquiry recognised that reporting of HCW deaths under the RIDDOR Regulations for reporting occupational disease should be better.
Sadly it didn't address the failure to report occupational infections which don’t cause deaths but leave HCWs crippled with Long-COVID.

The Inquiry was unequivocal in ‘calling out’ the World Health Organisation for failing to recognise the potential for airborne transmission.
The Inquiry does not seem to have attempted to determine whether WHO was 'prompted' by countries which did not have enough RPE...

Amnesty International say what is happening in Palestine is a genocide.
The UN Special Rapporteur say it's a genocide.
Countless genocide scholars say it's a genocide.
