Labour is putting young people at the heart of government.🌹

This strikes a painful chord. A memory of our own flag being taken down from the EU buildings.
An end to cooperation. So symbolic, isolating and shameful.

Screenshot of an article from The Tyee titled “Get Ready for the Forever Plague.” The subheading states that public health officials’ COVID complacency has opened the door to new illnesses and long-term damage. The byline credits Andrew Nikiforuk, dated 4 July 2022. Below the headline is an image of a hooded figure wearing a black plague doctor mask in a dark, smoky environment, evoking themes of disease and ongoing pandemic risk.

Get Ready for the Forever Plague.

"Public health officials gambled with the future and chose a fantasy world instead. Now COVID has become a runaway train with unknown biological consequences."

⏳ It’s not too late to start the new term with cleaner air

Thank you for posing this question and raising the issue again @nataliegreenpeer.bsky.social It is important that we use the scientifically valid tools to deal with #airborne viruses.

Covid-19 Risk Assessment: Week Ending 14 December 2025 The BuDS Covid-19 Risk Assessment for the week ending 14 December 2025

Worryingly, Covid infection levels in England have risen significantly in the last week. We are once again advising strict precautions against catching Covid in all but the lowest risk venues. (1/2)

Review: AirGradient Open Air Having had the opportunity to get the AirGradient Open Air (Model O-1PST) at the ASIC 2025 conference in Thailand, complete with its unique engraving, I've spent some time with this device, and it's clear that AirGradient is pushing the boundaries of accessible and reliable outdoor air quality monitoring. This device presents a compelling alternative to existing solutions, particularly for those seeking transparency and robust performance.

Last week I was invited by the NEU to their annual H&S conference in Manchester to talk about the Clean Air for Kids campaign on getting better air quality in classrooms.

We must stop the spread of sickness in schools. For the health of children and their teachers..

I've said before that Britain is afflicted by a triple-humiliation: loss of aristocracy; empire; political/media credibility. Brexit was essentially the last gasp of the British ruling class yelling to the Commonwealth, "Come on chaps, we're leaving," then marching out into the blizzard alone—nude.

Bus vs airplane!

I think we should adopt the same strict regulations from the aviation industry to the ground transportation for better IAQ on buses and other places like metro, boats, etc.

I have some of the worst cO2 readings from coaches! Awful.
We need a bus building revolution

The risk from surfaces is less than 1 in 10,000 of catching COVID. We should handwash for many reasons but this alone WILL NOT protect you from COVID. 🧵

As the Flu Surges in Asia, Could Getting Sick Year-Round Be the New Normal? Here’s what medical experts say could be behind the recent rise of influenza cases in Japan, India, Singapore, Thailand, and more.

#PublicHealth measures like ventilation and air filtration are a matter of urgency

Really great piece. You're right; our society can't look at this properly.
It's too terrifying; it unseats everything we've bought into.

Epstein And The Elite Shadow State The latest Epstein emails and text messages confirm we’re ruled by a supercilious elite, dead of humanity and devoid of moral marrow who’ve carved for themselves a prerogative state operating outside ...

For so long the sanctioned narrative was that Epstein was just a bad apple associating with other bad apples. He wasn’t. Epstein and the elite are the grotesque fruit of a poisoned orchard and we need to uproot every single tree
