Funny how everyone rushed to post Neymar and Ronaldo in tears, yet Salah didn’t get a single tribute. The disrespect towards one of football’s greatest icons is genuinely unbelievable.

Nigel Farage secretly trousered £5 million in cash, and he didn’t want you to know.

Since the media have barely covered it, let's make it go viral 👇

The graphs from @AllysonPollock’s original paper demonstrate that hip & knee operations have increased in #Scotland and #England.
But outsourcing in England has led to almost direct REPLACEMENT of #NHS capacity with expansion of #PrivateHealthcare!

🚨NEW: Pete Hegseth is cutting Senator Mark Kelly’s military pension and demoting his rank as punishment for telling service-members to not follow illegal orders in a recent video.

RETWEET if you stand with @CaptMarkKelly against Hegseth!

This has also been lost among all the problems from yesterday. Celtic putting the ball out for an injury. Rangers don’t give it back and try to score from it, ultimately failing. Pathetic football team with no standards.

Independence is normal.

And if independent countries like Ireland, Denmark and Finland can be wealthier and fairer than the UK, so can Scotland.

I used to be invited onto the BBC a few times a year to talk about things related to conflict and war.

About a year ago, I was asked on to discuss the fate of my students at the University of Gaza. I was told afterwards by a producer that they noted I had gotten a little emotional recounting how one of my students - a woman with impaired sight in her 20s - had been killed and how all my other students (all of them living with a variety of disabilities in a war zone) were refugees.

I haven't been invited back on since.

It seems to me there is only one reason for this. That getting upset about the fact that your disabled students have been killed and maimed - in the BBC's eyes - endangers your capacity to be a commentator on that conflict. Perhaps they are right. I am not sure I agree.

Al Jazeera invited me on to speak about Gaza two days ago. It seems that they appreciate that strong, measured emotion is often a by-product of war.

Can you tell us how he died, where, and why?

Physician Associates are being renamed to Physician Assistants because the public was confused about their role.

But here’s what’s truly confusing:

A physician assistant now starts on a salary that’s nearly £10,000 more than a fully qualified doctor.

Read that again.

Doctors - who train for years, take on legal responsibility, make life or death decisions; are being paid less than the people assisting them.

Even if doctors won full pay restoration tomorrow, they still wouldn’t be on equal footing.

@wesstreeting, how on earth is that acceptable?

Doctors are leaving. The NHS is haemorrhaging staff. Patients are waiting longer for their appointments because this Government refuses to fix pay and value and retain doctors.

Is it any surprise doctors are striking?

[MSM Monitor @msm_monitor]

BBC Scotland is promoting the idea of tunnels linking Scottish islands together instead of unreliable ferries. That's funny, because when the Scottish Govt looked into this idea three years ago BBC BritNat ridiculed it.

Now Scottish independence is part of an Iranian plot? ??!!! From Starmer to Fraser & most of the tory red and blues politicians in between, some sort of madness has taken hold. Plots are everywhere. Maybe because they’ve all lost theirs.

BREAKING: Congresswoman Kim Schrier obliterates quack MAGA Health Secretary RFK Jr. during a viral public hearing by using her experience as a pediatrician to expose his staggering ignorance on vaccines.

This was an absolute masterclass in destroying Republican crackpots...

"Secretary Kennedy on May 27th you posted a 60 second video on your X account unilaterally changing vaccine recommendations without consulting the customary panel of experts," said Schrier. "As a pediatrician I find that extremely alarming so I thought we would talk a little about some vaccine-preventable diseases."

Kennedy is a well-known anti-vaxxer and regularly pushes anti-science beliefs to the American people. He was appearing before the House health subcommittee to testify on the administration's budget request which includes brutal funding cuts to the Department of Health and Human Services.

"Secretary Kennedy — and these are yes or no questions — have you ever treated measles?" Schrier asked him.

"Do I what?" asked RFK.

"Have you ever treated measles?"

"No," he admitted.

"Well, I have. Let me tell you how miserable it is. These kids have high fevers, struggling to breathe, and they are crying," said Schrier. "They suffer. Great news is that there is a vaccine to prevent it. Secretary Kennedy, again a yes or no question, have you ever treated bacterial meningitis?"

"No," he admitted again.

"Well, I have," said Schrier. "These babies are so sick. They come into the ER with high fevers. They are floppy and we have to figure out why. Do you know how we figure out if a baby has meningitis?"

"Excuse me?" said RFK Jr.

"Do you know how we figure out if a baby has spinal meningitis?" asked Schrier.

"How many babies?" he replied, seemingly mishearing the question.

"I'm going to explain how we figure out and determine if a baby has meningitis," said Schrier.

"Okay."

"We insert a needle between vertebrae until the fluid that surrounds the spinal cord drips out into a test tube. It's called a spinal tap," explained Schrier. "We used to do lots of them. Fortunately, we don't have to do very many of these any more because we have three vaccines that prevent childhood meningitis. These are miracles."

"Secretary Kennedy, yes or no, have you ever treated pertussis or whooping cough?" she asked.

"No. I've had it," said Kennedy.

"Well, I have and in infants, in fact the one I treated, weeks old, came in because the baby just stopped breathing and turned blue," said Schrier. "Let me tell you how scared those parents were. And I've treated a bunch of older kids with it. They cough so hard they vomit. They run out of air. They break ribs. And if you don't catch it before two weeks, antibiotics don't even work."

"They cough for months with broken ribs and that is why it is called a hundred day cough," she continued. "But you know what's great? There's a vaccine that prevents this. Of course, here's the thing, vaccines only work if you actually give them. And we know your record on this."

Kennedy couldn't argue because there is no argument to be made. His beliefs and those like him have caused once-dormant diseases like measles to spread like wildfire across the country. People are dying. This man is woefully unqualified for his position and if he had even an ounce of shame left he would resign immediately.

Please retweet and to thank Congresswoman Schrier for crushing RFK Jr!

I told Congress they're killing poor kids in Gaza by buying bombs, and they're paying for it by kicking poor kids off Medicaid in the US. This was the authorities' response.

What the government can’t afford:

❌Lifting children out of poverty
❌Disability benefits
❌Compensation for WASPI women
❌Winter fuel allowance

What the government can afford: an extra £13.4 billion on the military.

Never any money for the poor. Always enough money for war.

The BBC News at Ten covered Netanyahu's visit to the White House at length and yet didn't mention once that he's wanted by the International Criminal Court for war crimes.

How's that possible? Why does the BBC need to constantly tell us Hamas is considered a terrorist organisation by the UK government, but thinks Netanyahu being a fugitive from international justice is a far less important descriptor.
