Sigh…..😞
Another day, another wildly misleading Daily Mail headline.
I mean, it certainly would be headline worthy if police had turned up and accused her of committing a crime by writing innocent FB posts.
But that's not what happened…

A Message to Elon Musk @elonmusk and DOGE from a Mother of a boy named Max.
Please at least give it a read and reconsider haphazardly freezing funding on important government programs:
"Elon, this perfect little boy is my son Max. He's not a parasite. He's pure joy. Love radiates from him, and he has a smile for everyone he meets. He was born with a rare genetic form of leukodystrophy called TBCD that is usually fatal by five years of age.
We were filled with hope when the researcher our patient advocacy group has been working with at Nationwide Children's Hospital was awarded with an R01 grant from the NIH after our community pooled our resources to fund the first phase of her research to apply for it. Last year, she showed us some of her work in the lab that PROVED there was a pathway to a treatment.
It was just a few cells in a dish. My son's neural cells -- cured.
Right now, her funds are frozen. The grant that was providing hope for a future for these children with a condition so rare that private pharma would never have any interest in creating a treatment is what you're fighting to slash funding for. You might as well be slashing my kid's throat.
Any delay in bringing this from the bench to the bedside WILL kill children in our community - and you're laughing on X and calling them parasites?
Shame on you."
Once again I am leaving the Munich Security Conference in a low mood. Amongst all the noise, the US signalled their plans for Europe, so things are becoming clearer. But things are clearly not good.
This is what we now know, and what we now have to do about it:🧵1/17

Build Build Build - but do they give a thought to infrastructure? Trying to see a doctor here in Kent can lead to an 8 week wait unless it is an emergency and there’s building everywhere you look. And schools? No they don’t give a thought to wildlife or its importance 😡

A Labour Party which claims to be on the side of working people is damaging some of the hardest working and poorest people in our country - and they happen to be the people who care for our countryside and feed us.
Today I will stand shoulder to shoulder with Britain's farmers.
