Over the next 2 yrs I'll involve stakeholders & do a #realist review & interviews to explore how, why, & to what extent #Mindfulness works (or not) for people frm areas of socioeconomic deprivation. Working w the excellent @carolin_sanders @SophieParkUCL @joprotheroe @Stewmercer

[Dr Kelly Birtwell @Kelly_B5]

Excited to have started my @NIHRSPCR fellowship using a realist approach. Had a really helpful discussion with my public contributor group about how #Mindfulness might or might not 'work' for people from areas of socioeconomic deprivation.

Israel — on trial for genocide at the ICJ, with leaders under ICC arrest warrants — bans journalists from Gaza to hide its genocide with lies & hasbara.

The evidence of war crimes is overwhelming — yet the UK government still refuses to implement a full arms embargo & sanctions.

This should go viral

Don’t ever tell me “but genuinely disabled people will get the support they need” because no they fucking don’t!!!

This is absolutely horrific to hear how David passed after his PIP was removed.
And they want to take benefits from more people exactly like him.

AND why can't ppl who already had their health destroyed by Covid be prescribed #Paxlovid? It is so cruel to refuse them antivirals when reinfected. How can we ever recover?

Reeves is right - the world has changed. So why won’t she change her strategy to reflect it? Obsession with arbitrary fiscal rules & ruling out wealth taxes is political choice that’s causing huge pain as well as laying out the welcome mat for populist Reform UK #SpringStatement

[Dr Ellie Chowns MP @EllieChowns]

Balancing the books on the backs of disabled people is not just unfair; it’s cruel. A million disabled people stand to lose vital support, while the wealthiest are protected. This isn’t necessity, it’s a choice—and it’s the wrong one. #SpringStatement
