I despair.

We granted asylum to 6 people from Gaza, and our political rulers are now arguing among themselves over who is to *blame* for this.

From Gaza. From fucking Gaza. Have #Starmer and #Badenoch not been watching the news lately?

In which possible reality might people from Gaza not have an absolutely watertight claim to asylum?

The apparently crazy decision to restrict this year's autumn #covid19 vaccine booster programme to the over 65s or those with specific risk factors is allegedly based on cost effectiveness.

I find it hard to believe that wider rollout wouldn't be cost effective, when you consider all the time off work that covid causes.

I also see that the details of the cost-effectiveness evaluation have not been made public.

This stinks to high heaven.
