See this? It's called a non-inferiority trial. It compares the new vaccine with the current vaccines to see if the new vaccine does better. This new vaccine did. Placebo-controlled trials are not needed to test most new vaccines. Demanding them will only reduce vaccine access. Which is the point.

I’m thrilled that from 2027 all new homes in England will be built with solar panels—a big green win! I’ve been raising this in Parliament time and again since I was elected—it’s fantastic to see that work paying off for families and the planet. www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Then : We had a notebook by the phone, you wrote down the start & end times of your calls so we knew how to divide the bill. Ideally you called after 6pm cos it was cheaper. Calling abroad was VERY expensive. Today : I spent a pleasant hour on a videocall to my brother in Korea, from my garden.

Absolutely fuck Labour. And in particular fuck Bridget Phillipson (‘Equalities Minister’ my arse) and fuck Kier Starmer for a snivelling coward. Trans women are women. Trans men are men.
