Reform is tipped to win next week in Caerphilly, a bellwether election because Reform is coming for Wales first, then the UK. Yet close to zero scrutiny of the candidate, Llyr Powell’s relationship with his former boss & friend, Nathan Gill. Why? Please read on & share 1/

Reform runs Kent County Council and here is its team having a meeting. They must never be asked to run anything, let alone the country. This is Reform in office. Vote for anyone and any party that can block them.

Just in case any one is wondering: Biomedical scientists spend an average of 12 years in training before reaching an independent position. That is more than most medical residences.

If the likelihood of a catastrophic event is > 10% then the Risks are unacceptable high. This is the point we have reached on scientific evidence for AMOC shutdown. This is the "Don't look up moment" for risks of liveability on Earth

Respiratory research is underfunded and undervalued. It receives just 2.5% of public research funding. Lung Research and Innovation Group have identified a new, unifying research framework to drive focus and investment: the Lung Research Grand Challenges.

“I would gently point out to Nigel Farage that before we left the EU we had a returns agreement with every country in the EU. He told the country it would make no difference if we left. He was wrong about that. These are Farage boats in many senses coming across the channel” 👏
