Medical transition for trans kids is now banned for new referrals on the NHS. Trans kids in the UK can still go private or DIY (for now).
This means the new clinics that replaced GIDS are close to useless at best, conversion therapy at worst. 1/5
I agree with that, I just think a lot of the “dont tread on me” anti mask people are exactly the people who would say YES GOD-EMPEROR if Trump tried this
but the same guys who were uncool about applebees are the ones who would *want* elections cancelled, no?
One of the most wholesome online communities I've accidentally joined is the Facebook one where the chief engineer maintaining the retired UK HST trains that were exported to Nigeria asks retired UK railway people for tips that aren't in the formal manuals, and they provide it with great enthusiasm

caught this a few years ago and very excited that it's back - really charming song cycle and love-letter (in more ways than one) to the Edinburgh Fringe. a perfect way to spend a sunday evening in wandsworth www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/a-fringe-a...
bucket list was a phrase invented for the film “The Bucket List”, and nobody had ever said it before that

I hope Keir Starmer wakes up covered in caterpillars and there are so many caterpillars, he’s telling his wife he doesn’t even know where the caterpillars came from but she’s SO angry at him for the caterpillars and when he tries to eat breakfast caterpillars pour out of his stupid cornflakes box.

no, because they don’t want to, and you and I can’t make them, so [raspberry sounds]
then no. the only examples are very small countries and even then the (current) inability to put actual boots on the ground maybe disqualifies those examples too
Aunt Bessie’s pancake mix. what an unexpected banger. happy shrove

keir starmer waiting for the may elections
the puff piece in the graun literally went from “he expertly masterminded the selections to get rid of the far left” to “and selected candidates including his wife” without so much as a glance at the camera. I think even the hagiographers have an inkling they know what they’re selling
he actually does have a chance to secure 10% more of a reputation as “no okay he did actually stand for something” by resigning on Monday morning
he wasn’t meant to get in, remember
conference… if I can go to jail… WE
metal gear solid: breadcakes of the patriots
I’ve genuinely made people confused by saying how angry I am with his right wing policies and behaviour
a key figure in the middle period Brony Wars, jeffr_csa was banned in 2013

we journalists *can* make Bluesky the place to break news

yeah but the idea that means the game is over (a game in which Burnham is one of many players, not the protagonist) is also for the birds, surely?
I’d go further and say that he is now inevitable before the election at this point, unless there’s a truly old school proper stitchup for Streeting (no other candidates allowed etc). what deal he makes with Rayner will be key
congratulations to Ed Miliband!
