Kemi Badenoch has told multiple interviews she gained a place at Stanford medical school - or pre-med - aged 16, but her parents couldn’t afford it even with a partial scholarship.
I’ve spoken to Stanford admissions officers who say this is impossible

The problem we have as patients is that too often, EDS gets overlooked or reduced to “just hypermobility.” This misses the bigger picture and leaves patients without answers & help.
EDS isn’t just about being flexible or “double-jointed.” It’s a connective tissue disorder that can affect the entire body, from joints and muscles to skin, organs, and more.
This is why no two people with EDS present the same way. Some may struggle most with joint instability, others with gut issues, heart problems, or fatigue. Some with everything all at once. It’s complex. It doesn’t mean the patient is difficult or untreatable.
It’s means we need to look further than the ‘oh it’s just hypermobility statement.
@supertanskiii I don't get this. Patriotism is the oldest psyop, a way for the rich and powerful to persuade the poor and gullible to die to protect their wealth.
JUST IN: Greta Thunberg before setting sail to Gaza:
Palestinians have been dehumanized to such an extent that they are only spoken of in terms of numbers and UN resolutions.
@zarahsultana Where we live there is only one flag in the entire area, hung up by an ex-police Sargent, opposite his house on a lamp post, note not on his house, the extremists are outing themselves.
Racist graffiti on takeaways. Slurs on bus stops. A nurse racially abused in the park.
Every day the far right launch pogroms on hotels housing migrants, fuelled by grifters and amplified by the right-wing press.
This hate comes from the very top. But our communities will organise, resist and fight back. ¡No pasarán!
@StephenMorganMP Dear Stephen,
The main reason for the increase in pupil absence is ILLNESS which remains ~40% higher than pre-pandemic.
Not too long ago, you clearly knew how to reduce the spread of infectious illnesses in schools…
…did you conveniently forget the moment Labour got elected?
An outrageous statement by Robert Jenrick. The people in the Bell hotel are not illegal immigrants. They are exercising their legal right to seek asylum.
The courts have upheld the law. All summer long leading politicians have been on the side of the mob.

Historian Peter Fritzsche wrote that in 1930s Germany, ‘flags covered the country like a rash’.
Today Britain is drowning in flags, on bridges, plastered on roundabouts, even encouraged by Elon Musk.
This isn’t organic pride. It’s manufactured nationalism, designed to smother dissent and make loyalty a test.
Flags everywhere = democracy nowhere.
I've read this several times, @UKHSA.
It says explicitly that infection is now regarded as a tool of infection control.
Error? Freudian slip?
"no evidence to suggest that the vaccines in current use will be less effective than the current dominant strains of XFG and XFG.3"
We went from 10 → 7 → 1 day “isolation” to tossing all precautions in the fuck-it bucket (credit @PunkyBrewstuh).
My wife is still positive, still symptomatic, still contagious. Day 8.
This is an airborne biohazard. Downgraded from BSL-4 to BSL-2—so you’d get it.
Nothing that lasts a week+ or crosses the BBB should ever be called “mild.” Let alone the risk of Long Covid.
Mask. Isolate the sick. Ventilate. Purify the air.
It works. Always has.
If the @UKHSA gave a damn about the health of the UK public they’d issue a similar warning.
But they won’t, because the SARS2 virus has been politicised here - and its name must not be mentioned.
So every day more people are disabled or killed because they didn’t take precautions
Traveling soon? Stay protected during the COVID-19 surge by wearing a high-quality mask in crowded or indoor spaces like an N95, KN95 or KF94. Learn more: https://t.co/UqPYkNWTXM
