Incredible to brag about the modest rise in the Universal Credit standard allowance without even hinting at the *huge* cut - nearly 50% - to Universal Credit's disability element from this April www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...
What a great night!
So well deserved! Thank you thank you thank you 💜💚🤍
Sharing this on the eve of tomorrow's vote.
I am a palliative care doctor who is not opposed to AD. But enshrining in law a state-funded right to die, while not enshrine a similar right to the palliative care that might make life worth living, is so very wrong.

Tony McArdle strikes again? His track record is …?
Some Karen’ being the battlecry. Pathetic ⬇️
Oh, so it’s all about toilets? Seriously. Get a grip. Maybe read the judgment before you think you are able to have a conversation with someone who has.
I hope Aquafresh are paying them for this
I have at least 30 pairs of reading glasses. Except none of them appear to be anywhere in the house. Cross.
I am so pleased. You have been an unwavering hero. Your work on Covid is as close to my heart too - thank you for both
I do love a tin. Cannot wait for today’s online order. An almost unheard of event to have my husband’s ‘is it functional’ *and* my ‘is it a lovely old tin’ both ticked at once www.bakerybits.co.uk/triple-pack-...

Yep. Lots of it 🐷
Bracing myself for watching the first of three programmes on #SpyCops tonight inews.co.uk/culture/tele...

Today’s excitement …
Civilised society imprisons over 2k people in these brutal long stay warehouses, people who are not criminals. ‘Kasibba’ was locked up for 45 years from age 7, in long term segregation for half the time. Years of evidence, years of broken promises by different govts www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...
Same. May she rest in power, knowing the memories she has left
V spent her childhood regressing, w/out a genetic diagnosis. Her MRI & chromosomes tested as ‘normal’ at 4; it took us years to get whole genome sequencing. She was diagnosed at 19. We celebrate her determination every day & hope that genetic screening is more routinely offered to families like ours
'It saddens me that #Unison which has 75 per cent female membership, has as its first motion at its Women’s conference one that seeks to undermine Equality Act protections for women.' @unisontheunion.bsky.social

Compare the performances of schoolboys with international female athletes. And compare them year on year on year.
You can say that you want to prioritise inclusion over fairness in sport. But it is a choice. It is an indication that women's sport doesn't matter to you.
Ah yes, the whole Nazi thing. I scrolled through both sites on the evening of Trump’s inauguration. Seventeen zillion posts about Musk’s arm gesture. Virtually none about antisemitic graffiti and firebombing of a daycare centre in a Jewish suburb of Sydney which happened at around the same time
You can't make this shit up www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...
As the mother of a severely learning disabled daughter, who cannot tolerate any kind of blood test? (So much work done here: ongoing) What would happen if prolonged treatment were needed? I know what would happen. We all do.
Good grief - that is surely the cure for everything?
V, my daughter, a v learning disabled young woman, has been educated using a behaviourist (applied behaviour analysis) approach from the age of four. Much to say. Seeing this wider ethical rationale has made me think even harder about why special education hasn’t embraced these possibilities.
