INFORMED CONSENT NOW muthafuckwrs
A number of the recommendations are sensible improvements to the current provision of services – but many of them would be rendered unnecessary by adopting an informed consent approach.

Today is #InternationalMigrantsDay.

Migrants are not statistics or headlines. They are our neighbours, colleagues, carers, friends and loved ones - contributing every day to our communities and our society.

Scotland must always remain a welcoming country for migrants and refugees.

It's not illegal to seek asylum and refuge here, no matter the circumstances.

I cannot see the slightest justification for allowing anti-trans hate group ‘Sex matters’ to comment on this story.

If you agree with me, a complaint to the BBC only takes a few moments.

Even by my low expectations for Kemi Badenoch ‘violence against women and girls is something done by immigrants and nobody else’ has shocked me.
Dog-whistle and factually incorrect. Ladies, raise your hand if you were sexually assaulted by a boy at school? I’d wager this or a family member is most women’s first experience of sexual violence

Sophy Ridge to someone from Trussell: "Can I just ask, demand for food banks is going up and this is often seen as a negative thing basically, that it shows that more people are in need turning to food banks. Could you flip that and say its a good thing..."

The White House claims the vote to rename the Kennedy Center was “unanimous.” That is false. I was muted on the call and denied the opportunity to speak or register my opposition. That is not consensus. That is censorship.

Prisoners have the same right to medical treatment as everyone else. An ambulance attending a prison should not require a protest. Pre-trial detention is supposed to be reserved for those who are a flight risk or a danger to public safety, not peaceful protesters
We are deeply concerned for the health of Qesser Zuhrah, who has been on hunger strike for 46 days.

We join those calling on the government to act now, and address the serious concerns raised by lawyers acting for the prisoners.

The World Inequality Report shows that 0.001% of the world’s population hold 3 times as much wealth as half of the world population.

The 1% in the UK have almost 5 times as much wealth as 50% of the population combined.

Inequality is a political choice. It's time to tax wealth.
