part of the reason for the rise of reform is labour trying to appeal to their supporters by aping their arguments and policies. all labour votes reward this strategy, your labour vote says "yes, i love racism, more racism please"
don't give labour a single vote under any circumstances

A few years ago myself and some crip friends read Disability Visibility as the first book in our book club. Alice heard about it, over on the bad place, and sent us signed book plates. May her memory be a blessing and a revolution.

Equalities Minister tears apart logic of EHRC’s “trans-exclusive” guidance in High Court
The EHRC was irresponsible in rushing out "overly simplistic" and "transphobic guidance", the High Court has heard

The fact that this person remains Health Secretary is objectively one of the most significant British political scandals of the post-Covid era. But because he's doing something the media barons like, everyone has decided it's fine.
Health Secretary Wes Streeting says that the British Medical Association, which represents Britain's doctors, is a threat to the NHS. Streeting took a record £225k from private healthcare-related donors in just two years.
British Medical Association ‘threat to future of NHS’, says Streeting ahead of doctors’ strike
Health secretary accuses doctors’ union of ‘cartel-like behaviour’ and tells it to ‘get real’ over pay demands

Sometimes when people ask me why I’m wearing a mask I say I’m traveling or have some important thing soon and can’t afford to get sick and miss it and that’s pretty much always true but I think it would be nice if it were more normalized to just say “I don’t want to get sick” and leave it at that

Covid has never gone away, and it's not just a cold. My infection in 2022 left me permanently disabled after previously being fit and healthy. Get boosted, and wear a mask in busy public spaces, especially public transport and hospitals. Not sure where to find a mask? Ask @edinmaskbloc.bsky.social!
After a long pause, I've just done another England Covid & NHS update as we head into the autumn/winter season.
TLDR: we're in a significant Covid wave now, the NHS is stretched, get boosted if you're eligible.
