🧵The net migration data out today will be misused to try and whip us into a frenzy and support a harmful false rhetoric on immigration. Here’s the truth about the numbers 👇jcwi.org.uk/the-truth-abou…

Powerful words from 🐢🐢🐢John Green🐢🐢🐢 earlier this month: "TB treatment must be made available to all, so that tuberculosis can become what it should have been long ago: history." 👀washingtonpost.com/opinions/2023/…

The telegraph has created a calculator that lets people calculate how much disabled people who can't work are "Costing" them. This is deliberately inciting hatred against disabled people. I urge you all to report this to IPSO if you can ipso.co.uk/complain/compl…

"civil society, academics, healthcare workers + policy makers are working together to increase momentum on the action needed to end TB...The collective action across countries to press govts to take action on TB + show up for the HLM in Sept is paramount to saving lives" #EndTB

Yesterday a man accused me of faking my disabilities in public. My The Mirror column this week is about how the media and government are turning the public against disabled people, by dangerously portraying us all as benefit cheats mirror.co.uk/news/politics/…

Very excited to be publishing this report. We have all seen the photo op moments where world leaders make commitments to tackle big issues. How do we ensure the pledges translate into action? This is what we think needs to happen in TB.

91% of policies to address the COVID-19 pandemic were completely gender-blind. Policy makers neglected the needs of women & gender-diverse people during COVID. This must be remedied in new pandemic response architecture views-voices.oxfam.org.uk/2024/02/why-we… @peoplesvaccine Dr Fifa A Rahman OxfamGBCottingham

That feeling where an issue you work on is finally getting some much needed media coverage but then you read it and😬

🧵 It’s against the law to ‘sell’ seats to the House of Lords. Yet Transparency International UK’s latest research shows nearly 25% of party nominated peers in the last decade were also party donors #UKPolitics #HouseofLords #Democracy #AntiCorruption mirror.co.uk/news/politics/…

This is a marked increase from my peer-reviewed academic research into the previous decade (2006-14), which showed that 1 in 9 peerages were going to party donors. Now it’s 1 in 4. The problem is getting worse, not better.
