It was great to see the Clean Air 4 Kids campaign showcased in Baroness Linforth’s speech.

@CleanAir4KidsUK was set up by @erbrooker after her son was diagnosed with cancer & she wanted to ensure he’d be in the healthiest possible environment at school.

@bphillipsonMP @RachelReevesMP @darrenpjones @MayorofLondon some London schools got some air purifiers with the support of the Mayor. Please could the rest get funding for them too? And installation encouraged for September? Families are still getting ill.

Incredible speech delivered by Baroness Linforth in the House of Lords today calling for clean indoor air in schools.

“It would cost less than a tenner per child per year to provide pupils and staff with clean air - about the same cost as a coffee and a cake.”

Following govt's bluster yesterday about bathing waters a quick reminder as of this morning every single stretch of river in England designated as a bathing spot has a "Do not swim" advisory posted.

You have been warned.

1 million views, deserves 1 billion more. 👏👏👏👏

@ahandvanish Interesting … I think this is what I get each morning on waking but it subsides once I get moving. Have tried to explain what it feels like to people / drs but they don’t understand! Now accept it will happen and manage it. Don’t have severe pots with my LC though.

[RuthMoss @RuthMoss]

Look at this below @bphillipsonMP @wesstreeting @bbchealth @Peston @BBCNewsnight @RachelReevesMP @SteveReedMP Surely the best way to reduce transmission of illness round families. @MayorofLondon has started implementation in some areas. Why don’t you implement in all Schools?

[Kashif Pirzada, MD @KashPrime]

Ventilation works. Do you want to reduce the number of times you and your kids get sick? There's an easy solution here:

[Cat in the Hat 🐈‍⬛ 🎩 🇬🇧 @_CatintheHat]

It’s concerning to realise how much was known about the importance of ventilation to reduce Covid transmission, even back in 2021.

And yet, 3 years later, there has STILL been no concerted effort to improve ventilation in the major hubs of transmission: SCHOOLS & HOSPITALS.

Hi @LeftieStats @EleanoraStats

Have you seen this 👇 post?

Would you mind reposting it to raise awareness please? Thank you.

[Zack Polanski @ZackPolanski]

The Government should be investing properly in treatments for Long COVID.

Far too many people left in this situation: read Darren's story. 👇🏼

[RuthMoss @RuthMoss]

Please in 2026 start improving air filtration in Schools @bphillipsonMP @wesstreeting @RachelReevesMP @SteveReedMP and please urge use of air purifiers @BBCHughPym @Channel4News @mrjamesob @BBCRosAtkins

[Dame Sa 🐝 3.5% @LongCovidHell]

All data, including this latest report reflecting the current flu outbreak, shows that illness is the main driver of pupil absence.

Labour MPs can’t keep punishing kids for being sick! They must protect kids in schools - air filters now! And stop these cruel attendance policies.

[Cat in the Hat 🐈‍⬛ 🎩 🇬🇧 @_CatintheHat]

@wesstreeting “Staff will be doing all they can to keep the NHS running and to protect patients.”

Doing all they can to *protect* patients?

Really?

Will they all be wearing FFP3 masks to avoid getting infected & then spreading that infection to clinically vulnerable patients then, Wes?

[Private Eye Magazine @PrivateEyeNews]

Following the controversy over the edited Trump speech, the BBC has been lambasted for its negative and biased portrayal of the leader of a prominent right-wing government…

This is a scandal. For goodness sake, please can high profile scientists, journalists and those working in the NHS call out this stupidity?
