A *huge* vaccine victory. I've been writing on this for years; Australia has seen remarkable progress in cervical cancer prevention with the HPV vaccine. I love seeing science triumph like this.
Australia recorded ZERO cases of cervical cancer in women under 25 for the first time since they started tracking the cancer in the 80s.
This is the power of vaccines.
The HPV vaccine is extremely effective at preventing cancer.
Viruses can be oncogenic. Get your vaccines and protect yourself!

newsGP - Australia set for world-first cervical cancer elimination
Vaccination programs have played a key role, and GPs remain ‘instrumental’ in boosting screening rates to reach the 2035 target.

"Starmer says scrapping two-child benefit cap was ‘long-standing ambition’"
He literally stripped the whip from 7 of his own MPs just last year for daring to stand up to him not ending it then.
Does he think we're all stupid or what? And why isn't the media coverage mentioning that recent context?

This house tax pretending is making me more insane than usual because as a renter I’ve had to move every 1-3 years just as standard because rents always rise. And no one cares. House owners get a tiny fraction of that precarity and suddenly it’s the worst thing that’s ever happened

This! Absoloulty this!
Rachel Reeves says this Labour Governments decisions are "necessary."
Why is it always necessary to hit the living standards of the 99%?
When are we going to make the necessary decisions about extreme wealth?

Rachel Reeves is asked about how the 3p a mile electric vehicle charge will work for new cars, when they don't have to have an MOT for 3 years. So who will monitor the mileage in order to calculate the tax owed during that period?
Reeves doesn't know.

Labour are going to be so embarrassed when they find out they suspended 7 of their own MPs for supporting Labour Party policy.
This has been a Labour policy since the Tories introduced it, so don’t go rushing to claim credit for it because the majority of the Labour backbenchers have been pushing this for a long time. Now they’re in government and in a position to remove it and they have done so.

"a household earning just £13,000 would pay £261 more in tax each year thanks to the freeze; and the OBR says it will push 780,000 of the poorest people in the country into paying income tax."
"Tweaks to taxation and spending aren’t going to un-break Britain.
A tax on multi-million-pound properties, while welcome, is not going to erode the extraordinary wealth of those at the top of our society – nor their grip over our democracy."

It's actually pretty shocking how, until recently, no one with a platform made the point of how ridiculous it is to think that v wealthy ppl would completely upend their lives just cause they'd be made to pay 2% of their vast wealth,which they can't use anyway (as they have more than they can spend)
