🌹☘️ On Mo Mowlam’s anniversary we remember a leader who was dedicated and committed to bringing people together and ensuring the voices of women and young people were heard above the din of tribal chieftains. Labour could be more like her. Ar dheis Dé go raibh a hanam uasal.

What are/is the symptom(s) of obesity? Some refer to the Lancet Obesity Commision that the symptoms of OSA, arthritis etc are the symptoms of clinical obesity. Wouldn't that be the symptoms of obesity related complications? I would say the direct symptom of obesity is food noises! Let's explore more on this together. 🤗🤝

[Susie B @susieb16]

Looking forward to the next day and a half alongside @ICPObesity Bernadette & Gerry, to learn and meet others involved in PPI in Ireland.

@TeenaGates Teena you are doing amazing! A woman’s body weight can fluctuate @ a few lbs during the month so please don’t be discouraged by those 2lbs! ❤️❤️❤️❤️

Exciting news! The Handbook of Bariatric Nutrition has been published. This is an essential resource for dietitians, nutritionists and other healthcare professionals working in metabolic and bariatric surgery https://t.co/MU0Pv5Plh6

[Cllr Gary McKeown @garymckeown]

Disgusted at racist graffiti sprayed on a house off the Lisburn Road. Attacks like this have no place in our society and do nothing but instill fear in communities. This needs to stop now.

[Paul Doherty @PaulDoherty___]

As Deputy Mayor of Belfast, I spoke at today’s rally at City Hall to call out the rising tide of racism and hatred spreading across the North.

The Executive’s inaction and lack of moral leadership has allowed this hate to escalate. It’s time for them to act - to confront racism head-on and deliver on key priorities like housing and the long-overdue racial equality strategy.

We all must continue to stand united against racism.

[Paul Doherty @PaulDoherty___]

A proud moment for me, my family and my community. Thank you everyone for putting your trust in me.

I promise to be a champion for all the people of Belfast.

[Paul Doherty @PaulDoherty___]

Day one of being Deputy Mayor of Belfast and meeting some absolute heroes in our communities!

[EASO @EASOobesity]

Important new research helps explain how semaglutide works in the brain to promote fat loss & reduce appetite, pointing to a specific group of brain cells that could be targeted in the future to create even better treatments for people living with obesity.

ECPO President Diana Castillo brought powerful patient advocacy to #IFSO2025 in Venice.

On an all-women “Pink Panel,” Diana shared her lived experience with obesity, highlighting the impact of stigma and the urgent need for inclusive, patient-centred care.

At the event, she called for real change: recognising people living with obesity as key voices in shaping healthcare policy.
