A Government of cowards.
Rather than tackle inequality - they've gone for pensioners, disabled people and now it's people fleeing war and persecution.

I don’t consider anyone a valid advocate who physically is able to mask up & refuses to do it. Anyone who refuses to mask up is NOT acceptable to be a long covid & disability rights advocate. Alice Wong has died & was physically unable to mask up & begged ppl repeatedly to 😷- airborne transmission

The Left is nowhere on COVID. And that’s a big problem.
They have failed to step into the current political climate and counter far-right protests, and get workers the social support they need.

She rightfully reminded us that the genocide in Gaza is a disability justice issue
