This is big. Scientists have identified the cells in the brainstem that sense immune cues from the body and act as "master regulators" of the body’s inflammatory response. "The discovery is akin to a black-swan event. It's a whole layer of biology we haven’t even anticipated”
Still nothing from @easyJet on our delayed flight. Over a hundred passengers concerned you're going to cancel the flight last minute, and leave us stranded in Gatwick just as the rail strikes start. Disgraceful.
20:30 flight from Gatwick to Belfast delayed to 00:25 (possibly later) with absolutely no reason from @easyJet and no one at airline information at @Gatwick_Airport. Incredibly poor service.
@Claim4Delay I am due to travel on this flight however on the easyJet app the status update says the delay is due to weather and so no compensation as this is viewed as exceptional circumstances. The weather at both Belfast and Gatwick is mild.
Let’s start the New Year with some good news from John Maynard Keynes: “Anything we can actually do, we can afford”. Finance is an instrument, not a master. This is the new political economy where it is our capacity and resources that drive policy. https://t.co/ROtbnl9RIa
The Queen has announced that she will use her money, power and position to ensure that no kids go hungry at Xmas. Oh no sorry that was Marcus Rashford a lad that plays football for Man. Utd.
Talked to my daughter (8) about the covid situation this morning.
She said “It’s just like climate change. They won’t do anything because they say it’s too expensive, but it will end up costing humans.”
She’s more correct than she knows, the parallel’s run deeper.
Let’s be clear that COP26 has failed. Fossil fuel is continuing. Temperature change is headed for over 2 degrees. As a Boomer what do I tell my children? That it was my generation who both adopted and still cling to the greed that might kill theirs? What is there to add?
The government gave some staff in the NHS a pay rise yesterday, and then said that the cost must come out of existing NHS budgets. It refused a pay rise to the police. It’s as if they’re saying there is a shortage of money. There isn’t. A thread’s needed to explain that…..
Dear @BBCNews,
