I think the time has come to attempt a thread to explain our GWP* paper. I sense it's going to be long, as the topic is more suited to a 45-min seminar (30 at a push)... If you are keen on #methane and what the Paris Agreement means, this is for you. Otherwise, scroll on! 0/n

There is definitely a backlash underway to this, although not freezing pip will help soften the blow for MPs.
One Lab MP messages: “Is our genuine assessment that 1 million people are in receipt of PIP that don't need it?!” 1/

The Prime Minister was unable to answer a simple question today about why a disabled person who needs help to eat, wash and manage toilet needs could no longer get PIP under his proposals.
The Government must drop this cruel proposal or it’ll face the mother of all rebellions.

“Imagine a disease that can render its sufferers bedbound for years.
“Now imagine that more people are falling ill every day with the virus that causes this devastating disability - and that successive govts have abandoned almost every strategy to try to get to grips with it...”
“In 2025, long Covid is the public health crisis no one wants to talk about, taking a wrecking ball to people’s lives, the economy and NHS while those with power pretend there’s nothing to see.”
5 years on, I wrote about long Covid and national denial. theguardian.com/commentisfre…

Just a reminder that the DWP itself estimates the PIP fraud rate at 0%

We are witnessing a very sad moment in American history.
The President of the United States is aligning himself with the dictator of Russia, Vladimir Putin, to undermine the independence of Ukraine and its democracy.
Here are my thoughts:

Here's a 🎶 twist on @coldplay's thumping #VivaLaVida we're calling "Puppets on a Kremlin String?" It reflects on the grotesque disrespectful media spectacle hosted by #Trump & #Vance yesterday at the White House. In solidarity with @ZelenskyyUa 🇺🇦

New study in Nature finds no such thing as natural immunity to covid after the arrival of omicron. Pre-omicron, infection provided 80% protection against re-infection one year later. This falls to under 5% at one year with omicron

'As a constituent of BP, I wrote to her last year re the VAT, explaining that my daughter had just started at one of the top Performing Arts schools in the UK - local North East girl heads to London. The VAT meant my daughter has had to leave. Despite her claims she will "break down barriers for ALL children", BP's VAT on educationhas only served to put up barriers for my daughter. She has not even had the decency to reply to correspondence on the matter.' @bphillipsonMP any answer for this family?

This column has been the second most read on the whole Guardian site today and it’s all credit to Rosy who literally used her last voice to speak out about this country’s care crisis.
Please do continue to read and share. theguardian.com/commentisfre…

I studied the Nazis at university, taught the history of Nazi Germany on two continents and wrote for major newspapers about Nazi Germany. I am internet famous for fact-checking chuds on the history, ideology and policy of Nazi Germany.
That was a Nazi salute.

1. There have been plenty of debates about whether or not Trump and his circle are fascists. In this column, I argue that the debate solves nothing. We’re seeing a reversion to the default state of politics in centralised societies: autocratic tyranny. theguardian.com/commentisfre… 🧵

thinking about 2025 in the year 2000: I hope we have flying cars and take vacations to mars
thinking about 2025 now: I hope we have electricity and the children survive the polio

‘Queen reveals she is recovering from pneumonia – what we know so far’
“Pneumonia is inflammation of the lungs which is usually caused by an infection such as flu, the common cold or other viruses”
‘Other viruses’ is doing some seriously heavy lifting!

IOSH Article: "Nurses with Long Covid being let down by employers".
Indebted to Dr Alison Twycross @alitwy, Chair of RCN Long COVID Working Group & her colleagues for producing this thorough and detailed survey, though saddening and moving.
