Plenty studies showing that your postcode is a better predictor of your health outcomes than your genome.

I can't begin to imagine how painful this dreadful episode must have been for the family. Such a heartbreaking story. The victims of mis/disinformation and quackery continue to accumulate, now encouraged by the thin veneer of legitimacy from US HHS...💔 www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

This is the coolest thing I have vet seen being raised from a grad roots effort. I remember when she just asked if anyone would be interested and BAM now this! So fucking cool.

The London School of Innovation in Sutton High Street do a remarkable job training young minds' for the future of AI and data science. As ever, Sutton is positioning itself at the cutting edge of the future economy. Great to see their work for myself as they grow their work locally.

So proud of our local team and our brilliant new councillor, Corina Watts. Once again @libdems.org.uk showing that we are the only party able to defeat Reform. This was a Conservative/Lib Dem marginal ward just a few years ago. Yesterday the Tories managed just 59 votes!

MUST WATCH: ICE kidnapped a disabled American citizen. Her name is Alma Bowman. Born in the Philippines while her dad served in the U.S. Navy. She’s lived here 48 years. They crashed her wheelchair, denied meds, cut her off from her lawyer—and jailed her. She. Is. A. Citizen.
