I agree with the call to policy makers.
However, this trend also supports the theory that psychiatry has massively overreached in recent decades, by pathologising the subjective experience of poverty.
Being unhappy with failure to meet your basic needs, for want of funds, is not a disorder.

“Policymakers looking to increase employment for those in the run-up to state pension age should take account of the headwind from worsening mental health for poor women.”

Amnesty argued at the Supreme Court, in the For Women Scotland case, that all protections for homosexuality under the Equality Act be rendered meaningless and gay only associations be made unlawful.
Twenty-two years ago today Section 28 was repealed.
But we're seeing history repeat itself as some in the media and in politics spread bigotry and misinformation about trans people.

There are people on this platform giving dangerous misinformation to trans people, that could land them in trouble.
It is not true that a police officer commits an offense if they tell their colleague that you are trans, and you have not been charged. It can be true, sometimes.

Perhaps Kwasi Kwarteng can help this Labour government get its shit in order?
Unless someone in the Treasury reassures the markets pretty soon, there’s every chance the UK will need to raise *more* tax for less in return. Total clusterfuck in the making, this.
Having a budget fall apart more than a week before it’s actually be delivered might be a new record.

Something that’s so striking in these emails is how…unimpressive Epstein is. He comes off as a pompous, sub-literate lech. Yes everyone is so mortifyingly solicitous of him! All fawning and flattery! Why?????

Because this is Bluesky, very little commentary on the BBC's disgraceful capitulation to Transactivism over the past decade. Senior figures either too afraid, or too cowardly to stand up to the post-modernist censorious bullies. This is a far greater scandal than the Trump editing nonsense.

This would do far more to counter the illicit economy than digital ID cards will ever be capable of.
People fleeing war and persecution are ready and able to contribute to our society.
The problem is... they're not allowed.
Rather than shipping them off to army barracks all over the country, it's time to let asylum seekers work.
