Something is happening in Italy. Pneumonia cases in Lombardy’s emergency rooms are surging, up 63.3% from last year, with 5,972 cases in the first three weeks of January. The spike is even worse among children aged 6-14, where cases have quadrupled.

JUST IN: The WHO says the CDC cut off communication Flu is slamming the U.S. with 24 million cases, 310,000 hospitalizations, and 13,000 deaths since October. And the CDC has gone dark. Critical data on flu strains, severity, and potential coinfections is missing.

When bills are rising, raw sewage is being pumped into our waterways and companies like Thames Water are on the brink of collapse - this pay rise will feel like a slap in the face to many billpayers. Regulation isn’t working. We need public ownership of water NOW. 💧

This is great. We also need this level of propaganda explaining to people WHY even a Labour government won't tax the rich, which means explaining the ugly nitty-gritty of how the party works and who's hijacked it. But that's someone else's job. This is great political education.

Covid weakens immune systems; people with weakened immune systems are much more likely to develop pneumonia. Aside from being 💔 shouldn’t we be really worried about antibiotic resistance? Letting this virus rip is starting to have potentially catastrophic consequences 😱

Free speech is “under threat” in the UK, says Kemi Badenoch, whose government imposed draconian restrictions on the right to protest, right to strike and banned anyone who publicly criticised them from official events

Flu deaths in California are exploding, and no one is talking about it. The percentage of flu-related deaths is way above normal for this time of year and still climbing fast.

⚖️If tomorrow's High Court ruling goes against Thames Water, and they are placed in special administration, then it's a pivotal moment for public ownership. 💧But it should just be the start. 🌊Water - ALL OF IT - should be in public hands, not just Thames Water.

I went to a Trump rally where people called Joe Biden a pedophile. Ron DeSantis's team called people who opposed their bill groomers. Nancy Mace accused trans people of being sex creeps. All the while, the Trump administration is asking for leniency for an alleged sex trafficker.

£23 billion was saved in unclaimed benefits last year. There are clearly not too many people claiming them. The Vine show tweets a variation on this every few months and then they have to remove the post when so many disabled people call them out.

Thames Water have been allowed to add another £3 billion to their existing £19 billion of debt. They've run up this bill by paying out huge amounts to bosses and shareholders instead of investing in our water infrastructure. It's time for water to be run for people, not profit.
