It’s the greatest medical scandal of the 21st Century. Intransigent doctors and gullible journalists have made the lives of ME/CFS patients a living hell. A massive and shocking story in this week’s column. theguardian.com/commentisfree/…
The government is ripping up the monitoring rulebook, leaving us in the dark about the state of our waterways. Is it because their so-called improvements are just empty promises? Lack of transparency means no accountability. pulse.ly/4dyalyv2r1
Why do you think Britain is a nation of drivers?
🛑I wrote about what “fatigue” really means for people with long COVID and ME/CFS, and why this profoundly debilitating symptom is so often misunderstood and trivialized. (This piece also covers PEM.) 1/ theatlantic.com/health/archive…
We've lifted the lid on the #sewagescandal. Now it's time for ocean activists to unite and show profiteering polluters, toothless regulators and dithering politicians that we won't stand for this sh*t any longer. 💩❌ Sign the #DirtyMoney petition today: buff.ly/3MLg9qH
Many people asking us about #bumblebees at the moment - why they’re seeing them on the ground - so here’s a quick thread to explain what they’re up to. Please #retweet as every #queen that survives means a new colony that gets to exist & produce new queen #bees for next year! 1/8

3K Followers 175 Following Keeping on top of the myriad of television productions being filmed in Bristol.I am truly exhausted. To catch you up, last week my aunties started their own Instagram and wanted to get 100k followers. I said they’d never do it. If they did, I promised I’d go to the BAFTAs dressed as Queen Elizabeth I. Obviously, they fucking went and did it.
I guess I'll catch the next train then, @northernassist. Equality my arse.
Last time I had an appt with one of my specialists he made some comments about “anxiety” around ditching my mask. I basically told him to stay in his lane (specialty) coz I knew what I needed to know to keep my high risk kiddo safe. Had a follow up today - doc now masked up 🤷♀️
What a spectacular result in Bristol! Huge congratulations to all at @bristolgreen This puts @carla_denyer in an excellent position challenging to become MP for Bristol Central at the General Election.
🎉 Huge congratulations to @bristolgreen on gaining 10 councillors on Bristol City Council, taking their total to 34 and becoming the largest party! #GetGreensElected | #LocalElections2024
Adding to the many voices of congratulations, but this is fantastic - a patient advocate no less 🤩 If we can make solving #MECFS & #IACCs part of the cultural zeitgeist, that 'people with means' want to be a part of making happen... We will be REALLY onto something!

Surprise! Discredited, ousted former PM Boris Johnson didn’t stop to consider that the voter suppression rules he introduced might actually apply to him
.@TimesONeill has been a powerful voice on this issue for so long. Grateful to him and colleagues who supported this debate yesterday and our call for action from government to publish the M.E. delivery plan before August.
Former health sec @sajidjavid warns people with ME are being 'dismissed' by the medical profession as he leads Westminster Hall debate. MPs from all parts of the political spectrum spoke up for patients. Report ⬇️ by @eleanorhayward thetimes.co.uk/article/sajid-…
Be more Bill Nighy 👇
Bill Nighy standing outside my flat being still to listen to the spring birds on May Day morning is exactly what you’d want Bill Nighy to be doing right?
Sickened @ukhomeoffice have posted a promotional video about detaining asylum seekers to send to an unsafe country, Rwanda. This is tantamount to state-sponsored human trafficking & it's being done the day before elections for party political purposes. We are better than this.
BREAKING: The first people set to be removed to Rwanda have been detained.
@sajidjavid Thank you for leading the debate on #MECFS We *have* to ramp up biomedical research & clinical trials into this disease, to meet levels commensurate with its disease burden The current level is an embarrassment to humane society Ultimately action and £ is what counts here -…
Looking forward to leading this important debate on M.E. today. Such an important issue which impacts so many families across the country. Much more needs to be done.
🚨 Reminder 🚨 Tomorrow, May 1, Sir @sajidjavid MP will be leading a Westminster Hall debate in the Houses of Parliament, 16.30-17.30 You can watch the debate live on Parliament TV: ow.ly/wxan50RsgYs
Taking a break from here, but wanted to share this... Trained a technician for 8 months in microscopy to analyze some brain slides for me. Tech left the lab after their first box of #COVID brain slices and left me this card on my lab bench space. Now imagine the life of…
Man, I’m so sick of people telling me to “get well soon” when I tell them I have Long Covid. Instead of “Get well soon”, try saying, “holy fuck, this is horrible; how can I help with advocacy efforts??”
Darren, @bristolgreen Party's priority is the health and wellbeing of the people of Bristol. It's not current Bristol Green Party policy to expand the CAZ, but we'd never rule out a measure if evidence showed it would save lives. The real question is why would any party do so?
The Green Party in Bristol refused to rule out expanding the Clean Air Zone on @BBCRB today. What are the Green Party’s plans to extend the Clean Air Zone? Which areas will be included? I’ve written to @carla_denyer to ask. Voters deserve to know.
I continue to be borderline stunned that the college kids protesting are consistently masked. They may have one main cause, but it feels like hope for more than that.
After I got sick w #MEcfs in 2014 I never sold my #triathlon bike, it represented hope that I'd get healthy again. But this past weekend I sold it. It feels like another #loss but I promised myself if I ever get healthy again I'll reward myself w a brand new tri bike.
I told my daughter how much the Covid cautious community here has helped me. Helped me learn, helped me feel less crazy. So, she has decided to give Twitter a go. This kid has been so strong for so long.
🧵I’ve been covid cautious for 5 years now (2 yrs of which I’ve had Long Covid). I don’t know anyone else my age in the UK who is Covid cautious & people always just assume ‘my mum is making me’ but I do this for myself and for others. It’s my choice and it’s a good choice.
Me masking when i was at school. It’s been a very long and isolated 5 years. Thank you to everyone who is protecting themselves and others, it makes this so much easier :D
