And for those of you that didn't want to believe it here it is. The UK is bottom of the league when it comes to European bathing water quality standards. 🤬

Thanks to England's privatised water, the whole of the UK is rated the dirtiest water in Europe. They should be in prison for the rest of their lives.

Shouldn't MPs be means tested before they can claim their heating bills on expenses, or does that logic apply only to poor pensioners?

The cost of winter fuel payments is £3bn a year. The profits of the big four gas supply giants in 2023 was £65bn. Just wondering if any awfully clever economists out there can see any possible solutions to this conundrum?

NEW PREPRINT! This one seems potentially very, VERY SIGNIFICANT! This study found "significant reductions in measures of mitochondrial content and impaired muscle energetics" in LC fatigue—AND a corresponding biomarker! Summary thread (for a general audience!)... 1/many
Preprint posted on Aug 20, 2024 to medRxiv: "Soluble IL-2R impairs muscle cell mitochondrial respiration in fatigued individuals with post-acute sequelae of COVID-19." Abstract: "...This study aimed to investigate the underlying mechanisms of PASC-related fatigue by examining skeletal muscle function and circulating factors in affected individuals. We conducted a cross-sectional case-control study of patients with fatigue-associated PASC who had experienced mild to moderate COVID-19 without hospitalization. Skeletal muscle biopsies revealed reduced mitochondrial respiration and content in PASC participants compared to healthy controls. This lower respiratory capacity was accompanied by markedly elevated circulating levels of soluble IL-2 receptor alpha subunit (sIL2R), a T cell-specific receptor. ...These findings suggest a mechanism linking systemic immune dysregulation to muscle-specific mitochondrial dysfunction in PASC."

Do train drivers deserve to earn £60,000 after overtime and working rest days? With me in the studio to discuss this are a £91,000 a year Tory MP, a £200,000 a year rightwing journalist and a chief executive on £4.2m.

These riots started in Parliament. Rioters chant “stop the boats” and “we want our country back” - using language from politicians across the political spectrum. It’s not enough to call out violence, politicians need to stop normalising hate. In policy and practice.

(1 of 2) I'm still wondering at the totally normal—not at all creepy, desperate, or bizarre—internal memo the Trump campaign quickly sent out after Butler, as Trump was getting PA doctors to swear themselves to silence and prepping a speech with 80+ lies about Butler in 9 minutes
