The Guardian have documented a year in my life living with #LongCovid.
Please watch this short documentary to learn what it's like living with this debilitating disease and why we need urgent treatments.
Farage on the BBC...again. And not a Green in sight.
A reminder:
Greens: 4 MPs 800+ councillors
Reform: 4 MPs 600+ councillors
When will the BBC give the Green Party the same amount of coverage as Reform?

Yesterday #LongCovid cost me my job.
20 years working as a Learning Disability Nurse for the #NHS.
My livelihood gone, my role in life gone, my ability to help others gone.
Long Covid ruins lives.
6 months ago I lost my job because of #LongCovid.
I fought to keep my job, but I'm simply too ill to work and I'm not getting any better.
How will cutting my #PIP and #ESA get me back to work when I was dismissed on ill health grounds ?

Late last year I lost my job to #LongCovid.
20 yrs working for the #NHS.
I'm too ill to work so I'm reliant on benefits.
To get me well enough to work I need the gov't to invest in finding treatments for #LongCovid.
Cutting my benefits won't get me back to work.
Green Party - Nationalise the water companies, tax the super rich, invest in our public services, stop the genocide, lower bills.
The Telegraph - Greens are "hard left."
How I'm trying to adapt to my new, smaller life with #LongCovid.
I lost my job. I lost my role as a local councillor. I'm housebound. I can't do much with my kids & partner. And I can't do many of the things I love due to the constant fatigue.
But I have to try and carry on๐งต
Having #LongCovid or another chronic illness leads to so much loss.
I've lost so many things in my life due to this debilitating disease.
I wanted to share a few.๐งต
Last year I lost my job to #LongCovid.
A few months on and I am no better.
There are no treatments that I can take to make me well.
So I'm ill, housebound & on benefits.
This #LongCovidAwarenessDay the government must properly fund research to find treatments for #LongCovid.
Yesterday #LongCovid cost me my job.
20 years working as a Learning Disability Nurse for the #NHS.
My livelihood gone, my role in life gone, my ability to help others gone.
Long Covid ruins lives.
Got #LongCovid. Became chronically ill. No treatments. Lost my job. Housebound. Days spent mostly lying down. Got #PIP and ESA (NOT easy, but ๐). Now Labour want to cut this support. How dare they?!! So exhausted. So upset. So angry. We must #StopTheCuts.
I'm not well enough to join today's protests against Labour's cruel welfare cuts.
So I have a simple message for Rachel Reeves ahead of her #SpringStatement ๐
