We have a lovely dog, who is very attached to her toys, the same as our previous dog was. So it's interesting to me. The vets might do better than the psychs though!

Yes.

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk_politics/82488.stm Looks like 40. And yes, the vote concludes the process. See info in previous post.

Not sure, but I believe only those who attend can vote. And presumably there has to be some minimum - 3 MPs voting would not really cut it! Edit: Found this explanatory info, though still not found if a quorum needed...

The "audience" of course are all MPs. Hopefully Carol Monaghan and supporters will be able to cut through any bullshit and expose it for what it is, and the bullshitters for who they are.

Depends hugely on how the vote goes, which in turn depends hugely on the turnout and its composition. And of course on Carol Monaghan, and those briefing her. I guess my worry is you just know the "other side" will be practising their dark arts to get as many people they can of theirs in the...

Full of creepy crawleys.

Carol Monaghan Scores Another Parliamentary Debate "Carol Monaghan, a member of Parliament from the Glasgow area, has done it again. This week she is spearheading a three-hour debate in the House of Commons about the awful situation confronting ME patients in the UK. (The organizers of this...

Do we know how much time has been allocated to this debate?

Even if the patients didn't, there is still potential bias in the doctor making a conscious choice of which they might think "best". ETA: i.e If that bit of the allocation was not randomised.

Or in the case of pwME, that you are not.

Maybe write it in Word first or something, then copy/paste? But check first the form will let you paste into it.

Ditto.

Some great names in evidence there as speakers.

Thank you. So SW was involved in PACE, at least regards writing the manuals, albeit he forgot that ... ... and this ...

I fully agree with this @Action for M.E., as will most other people here I think. As I am only too well aware, there is a major difference between gaining knowledge versus gaining insights. The former can take real endeavour, but the latter needs much more - stepping back and opening heart and...

How does a media centre get charity status, and all the tax perks that that brings with it? Is that normal? Or unusual? At the very least one would expect a condition should be for it to be very even handed.

Given this is an important HoC debate concerning the science surrounding a major clinical trial ... would it be reasonable to think that the media might report on it? Very interested to see who reports what, and especially the SMC. I'm sure they will be already planning what if anything they...

I wonder if this could be useful to Carol Monaghan for her debate next week. I know it is far from proven evidence, but it is another good indicator.

Whatever is done, it needs to be rooted very firmly in facts. Could we for instance, identify all the newsworthy ME stories of the past year, and then identify which stories the SMC actually reported on. That alone might indicate their bias. The issue of biased reporting itself for any one...
