Petition: Conduct review into NHS recognition, diagnosis & treatment of cluster headaches
Cluster headaches are among the most severe pain conditions but are often misdiagnosed and under-treated in the NHS. We feel the name fails to reflect their extreme, disabling nature, reducing urgency...

What a repulsive man. I had eye problems. Everything from routine cataract surgery and laser work for retinopathy in both eyes, to a vitrectomy. Some of the surgeons and nurses didn't have flawless English. But as they were busy saving my eyesight, it would have seemed churlish to whine about it...

New petition: Require UK-trading companies to provide a contactable phone number
Many companies operating in the UK have removed all phone contact options, forcing customers through chatbots, forms, or endless email chains. We call on the Government to legally require any company trading in the UK to provide a working phone line to speak to a human agent.

Dreadful. This is so wrong. I first began to support the values of the Green Party when they were known as The Ecology Party, led by Jonathon Porritt in the early '80s. I still support their values today - and his. @greenparty.org.uk @zackpolanski.bsky.social
Defend Our Juries@defendourjuries.bsky.social · 6d agoNEW: Sir Jonathon Porritt, arrested under Terrorism law outside Westminster Magistrates Court. As police escorted him away he said "I am a supporter of Palestine Action, trying to save lives is not terrorism, exposing this Governments complicity in genocide is not terrorism." www.wedonotcomply.org
I'm a bit too old for festivals! But not too old to know that @greenparty.org.uk and @scottishgreens.org are a real alternative to the same old, stale old parties. And they don't survive on dodgy 'donations' either! Vote Green for fairness, equality and a cleaner environment!
Zack Polanski@zackpolanski.bsky.social · 2d agoThank you to Green Gathering - such a wonderful weekend! I'll be at lots of other festivals this summer - we're building our movement and creating an alternative to the old party politics. Join.greenparty.org.uk

The EU is about to ban 'video glasses' because they break invasion of privacy laws. The UK needs to ban them too.
It still hasn’t learned anything. This was Newsnight on Thursday, here studio guests are discussing Andy Burnham reinstating Diane Abbott. Whilst they allow Jewish commentators to be a part of the panel to air their displeasure, there was not one black person or even Diane Abbott there to counter
George Monbiot@georgemonbiot.bsky.social · 3d agoWe should never forget how the BBC has changed this country by giving endless airtime to Nigel Farage and other rightwing extremists, while shutting out progressive voices.
We didn’t ask you to release a diary. We demanded you release the Epstein files. We even passed a law.
