Have you noticed it gets cold in winter when people start putting warm clothes on?
Have you noticed that flu season starts after the vaccines are given out?
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
Flu shots are given before flu season on purpose. The CDC advises getting vaccinated in September or October, ideally by the end of October, because it takes about two weeks after vaccination for protective antibodies to develop. cdc.gov/flu/vaccines/v…

It is disgraceful that Andy Burnham took an hour out to appear on Gogglebox just to raise money for Stand Up To Cancer. If he's going to do a TV show he should do what I did and pocket £1.5million for eating some kangaroo bollocks.

Amid the brouhaha over allegations of limits on intelligence sharing and the proved throttling of Ukraine's Starshield, a 3rd way Trump is aiding Putin hasn't had much press - the blocking of supplies of paid-for Patriot interceptors.
This delay is costing Ukrainian lives.

Not an ounce of contrition.
No apology, no guilt, no remorse.
Covid inquiry?
Tens of thousands of needless deaths?
Water off a duck's back.
It was only the little people anyway.

Helen Whately should resign after the latest Covid details came out today, she worked with Matt Hancock. Both should be charged with manslaughter

On the one hand we're so poor as country we can't afford support for special needs kids. But on the other hand we can afford a 93% payment hike for one of the richest men on the country.
No, I can't make sense of it either.
The core Sovereign Grant for King Charles from public purse to rise to £99.9m.
93% increase from £51.8m for 2024/25.
65% higher in real terms than in 2016/17.
25.3m people live below minimum income standard.
We are in it all together, aren't we.

Meta has suddenly suspended the No Kings Instagram account in the middle of the No Kings' national day of action.
This shocking censorship comes just weeks before the midterm election.

As I wrote over a year ago, it would only take a handful of GOP Senators to stand up to Trump and grind his agenda to a halt until he ceased his actions against Ukraine and on behalf of Russia. Instead, they tweeted and signed letters that Trump ignored. Do something.

Hey @Helen_Whately...one for you, I think:
"Banning people with anxiety, ADHD or autism from claiming disability benefits would not deliver major financial savings and would probably make it harder for them to get or stay in a job"

Sollte sich bestätigen, dass @elonmusk die Aktionen der Ukraine sabotiert hat, obwohl die Steuerzahler der EU diesen Zugang bezahlen, muss es Sanktionen gegen Unternehmen geben, an denen Musk beteiligt ist.

Zelensky abided by Trump's request that Ukraine not strike Putin's May 9th Red Square and Ukraine got massive missile barrages and hundreds of deaths in return.
Zelensky agreed not to strike Russisn refineries and in return, Trump took santions off Russia and cut starlink to Ukraine’s front line troops as well as massive Russian missile barrages on Ukraine's cities.
The Trump occupied US is the enemy of Ukraine and the Free World. He wants exactly what Putin wants, and Musk just wants fascism, and embracing fascism means embracing Russia.

So one of Fartage’s many excuses for the £5 million bung was that it was a reward for getting Brexit.
Now we know that the Brexit vote WAS subject to Russian interference.
Maybe Nige, associate of NathanGill, (imprisoned for being a Russian spy equivalent) can tell us more?

The United States is now officially allied with Vladimir Putin and Russia. We will fund Russia’s genocidal war machine in exchange for Putin helping Trump and the Republican Party in the midterms. One of the most shameful and disgusting days in the history of this Republic.

Declaring war on welfare while splashing billions on a wealthfare privileged elite is immoral.

🤩 This is what continental scale looks like. Europe is mobilising its own savings to finance European industry, energy, defence and technology.
🆘 Meanwhile, Brexit has left Britain outside the emerging investment architecture of our own continent.
We must get back in the room.

Why? Why, instead of giving hope, of healing divisions after years of non-stop scapegoating, target disabled people, again, for pointless, performative cruelty? Why? @UKLabour @andyburnham
A young disabled person is a #disabled young person.
