Bloody love clouds! Wish the BBC would stop pushing podcasts & eroding local radio. Why do all our nature shows feature burning wood?????

@MattWalls99 @MartinSLewis I’ve done same thing but on paper ever since I got my first mortgage in the 80’s & check off my bank statements, am not in debt & paid my mortgage off earlier by reducing years on switching deals & latterly, over paying.

[J.K. Rowling @jk_rowling]

A young detransitioner, Fox Varian, has won $2 million damages in a medical malpractice lawsuit, in which she sued the psychologist and surgeon who approved her for a double mastectomy, aged 16. Varian's mother testified that she'd been against the surgery, but was pressured into agreeing because she'd been told that unless her daughter transitioned she was likely to commit suicide.

As the floodgates open, and more and more detransitioners sue the clinicians who subjected them to an unregulated medical experiment, gender identity activists will almost certainly continue to ignore any evidence that fails to support their preferred narrative. They'll keep insisting that hardly any transitioned people regret their irreversible procedures, that gender clinicians know exactly what they're doing, that surgeries, cross-sex hormones and puberty blockers are of proven benefit and that minors who're denied these treatments will to kill themselves. All of this is a lie.

Speaking at the WPATH conference in 2021, British endocrinology consultant Leighton Seal admitted 'we are doing procedures here where we don’t have outcome data.' A woman from Utah said she felt gender clinicians like her were making it up as they went along: 'Because I feel like we’re all just winging it, you know? And which is okay, you’re winging it too. But maybe we can just, like, wing it together.' (https://t.co/dW4xXKUzOY)

This will go down in history as one of the worst medical scandals of all time. Adults inside and outside the medical profession sold troubled young people like Varian the idea that all of their complex trauma would be resolved by removing healthy body parts.

As more and more detransitioners arrive in court, the public will learn the full extent of the harm done to kids in the name of an ideology. Clinicians performing these 'treatments' will go down in history as barbarous activists who betrayed a sacred oath: to do no harm. But we should never forget how many people outside the medical profession urged these young people on, gleefully assuring them that anyone advising caution was an evil bigot. There are people in elitist professions like publishing and academia, not to mention politicians and celebrities with young fan bases, who did all they could to champion the idea of gender identity, and kept pushing it even as the evidence of harm mounted. They're just as culpable as the clinicians. Too lazy to think more deeply than the fashionable mantras that got them social media likes, too arrogant to look at evidence from anyone outside their political bubble, they've slurred whistleblowers and attacked anyone with valid questions. In doing so, they've created a cultural climate without which this appalling tragedy could not have taken place.

Never forget, because only by learning the lesson can we stop this happening again.

This is the guy you think is gonna save the UK, nice and cozy next to 1 of the biggest paedophiles on the planet?

You lot are laughable.

It’s great that the UK media are finally investigating Mandelson , but why are they incapable of applying the same critical eye to Farage ?

@paulpowlesland I'm really shocked your bio says you are a climate campaigner, and you are supporting any kind of burning.

The science is clear. Burning wood emits CO2.

The "carbon-neutral" statement is just an accounting trick.

[grace taylor @gracetaylor9]

@4Viewers @Channel4 Just watched this, marvellous scenery but why do you narrow the screen? I find it very annoying and wonder why I’ve just lost this beautiful vision???

Burning wood doesn’t just pollute your home – it also pollutes your local community and harms the health of your neighbours.

This #CleanAirNight, share the facts about wood burning so we can protect the health of everyone in our communities.

[grace taylor @gracetaylor9]

@Matt_VickersMP I’m sure you wouldn’t want to work with decreasing pay parity whilst also increasing workloads & worsening conditions! They’re not just striking for better pay, they’re protecting their & our access to an NHS that serves the people.

[Neighbours Against Wood Smoke @NbrsVsWoodSmoke]

@PrivateEyeNews Hopefully that will be the situation soon @PrivateEyeNews. In any other scenario, knowingly causing harm to another person is considered assault. Yet @StoveIndustry encourages people to attack their neighbours with toxic fumes. #revengeburning is rife!

If GCSE’s move online it will be a catastrophe. Citing “preparing for exams” schools will dump what little remains of books and pens and stuff our poor addicted children even further down the internet at great cost to their education, mental health and safety. @ofqual

[Sophia Edwards 💙 @sophia_edw28123]

England has 16% fewer GPs than the OECD average, yet they handle 90% of patient contacts on just 8% of NHS funding.

Continuity with the same GP improves health and reduces hospital admissions.

We need more funded GP posts and a fully public NHS.

Left: Wes Streeting launches a scathing attack on doctors after they vote to strike, his rant is full of half truths and outright lies

Right: Dr Andrew Meyerson who is an A&E doctor explains what the actual problems are, and the reasons behind the strike

You can either trust the politician, or the person who will help you when you fall ill or have an injury

My vote is for @AndrewMeyerson and every other doctor out there 👍

Flu overrunning the NHS?
The UK has a Public Health Problem
4 points, but first, these two clips

2023: Wes Streeting criticising the Conservatives for inaction

2022: Bridget Phillipson explaining how vaccines and clean air are the tools to bring down virus cases

1⃣ Did you know that there have been almost 1,000,000 patients in hospital corridors this year?
⛔️ Labour, like the Conservatives before them, did not provide the staff, or resources, to look after patients in the NHS properly

2⃣ Did you know that for months we have seen this strain of flu cause chaos in hospitals in the southern hemisphere ?
⛔️ Labour, didn't take heed of that, provide more resources, or solutions, to prepare us for it in the UK

3⃣ We have known for years that every time you get a covid infection it weakens your immune system a little more. There were three covid waves this year (Spring, Summer, Autumn)
⛔️ Instead of making covid vaccines available to everyone who wanted one, Labour restricted access, which meant more people caught covid, weakening the immune system of everyone who caught it

4⃣ We know the flu vaccine is effective, even if it's not the specific one for this specific strain, but it still reduces the severity of any flu infection
⛔️ Despite that, Labour restricted access to the flu vaccine, and shamefully, not even teachers and medics qualify

It's not that we don't have the science and knowledge to both keep hospital care out of corridors and cases of, and, covid and flu hospitalisations down - we know what to do. Labour policy has chosen not to do it

🆘 As long as covid keeps circulating without universal boosters to whoever wants one, immune systems will continue to weaken, and more become susceptible to illnesses

🆘 As long as flu vaccines are restricted, the same as above

🆘 As long as Labour keep understaffing and underfunding the NHS, we will continue to have corridor care

🆘 As long as Labour refuse to have a policy of clean indoor air for schools, workplaces, hospitality, when bugs arrive they will continue to spread like wildfire - (well done Sadiq Khan for the program roll out for London)

🆘 And as long as Labour keep blaming doctors for their poor policy decisions, instead of honouring the profession of the people who look after us when we fall ill and need help, the cycle will continue

This isn't a call for compulsory vaccinations, there are enough sensible people in the country who would take a covid and flu booster if the government cared enough to ditch their 'herd immunity' policies and focus on prevention through vaccination

Nor is this a call for forced face masks - no one who wears a face masks actually enjoys it, but many of us wear them to keep ourselves and others safe. Governments refusing to explain and counter false narratives about face masks not working are just as part of the problem, are we following the science of appeasing divisive narratives?

Go out, live our lives, be happy, be part of society - we can and we should continue to do this in our lives. But be fair, be sensible and be aware

First the Conservatives, now Labour, are failing the country over poor public health policy choices

We know there are better ways to do things, it's just a shame that five years after a global pandemic which shocked all of us, zero major public health measures have been introduced based on what the science tells us

If we had universal vaccines for all, clean air, and a better staffed and funded NHS, we wouldn't be in this position today

A final thought, stop attacking doctors, they're not just striking about fair pay, they're striking over the lack of jobs and training places available for doctors

We literally have thousands of doctors and GPs who are unemployed and cannot get jobs as doctors and GPs because Wes Streeting, like Jeremy Hunt before him, has failed the NHS and GP services

Don't get angry at the people who look after you when you fall ill. Get angry at the people who won't provide enough staff or resources to look after you

And for anyone saying 'we can't afford it' - yes and no. But remember, Brexit makes us £90 billion a year poorer. Labour's post Brexit trade deals barely provide single digit billions. It's Labour's Make Brexit Work policy that is keeping the country poor, and reducing our ability to fund the NHS

Obscure illusionary sovereignty doesn't fund public services #RejoinEU

Wes Streeting should be nowhere near our NHS 👇

[Neighbours Against Wood Smoke @NbrsVsWoodSmoke]

Too many people have been taken in by SIA “burn better” in a "modern" stove misinformation. If we all keep challenging their adverts with data they will have no customers left, even if the government refuse to take action. Defra/SIA cronyism costs lives.

If @TheGreenParty took a stand on woodburning instead of sticking their heads in the sand we’d see huge reductions in air pollution. Many greens burn wood yet have solar panels on roofs & EVs on drives. Their politicians avoid the subject-some block any mention of health impacts.
