The NHS isn't coping even before strike action - that is the fault of politicans, not doctors

Doctors are going on strike because the Government refuses to deal with the problems in the NHS or treat NHS staff fairly

That's why I support the #DoctorsStrike

Labour plans to take money away from our NHS and give it to US companies to boost their profits - and they are doing it all just to please Trump

Write to your MP and demand that they speak up against this
The government say its deal to pay big pharma even higher prices won’t damage the NHS. But here's the reality 👇🏽

Zack P: When are we going to have a cost of living special...?

Fiona Bruce: ...we talk about cost living every week..not sure why we need a special programme for it.

You talk about immigration every week. Yet, here we are, with a question time special on...immigration. Not sure that logic follows.

Trans and disability justice are deeply connected.

Both groups are fighting for the right to healthcare, for bodily autonomy and for our full humanity to be respected.

We stand in solidarity with disabled people and fight for a world in which everyone can access the healthcare they need

Labour would rather cut justice than reverse Conservative spending cuts

Labour could restore funding to the courts system to clear the backlog but instead they are choosing to remove our rights to jury trials

The changes will restrict the right to a jury trial in a bid to reduce the backlog of cases.

Plans based on ignorant and incoherent anti-trans prejudice could lead to many more women and girls being attacked by bigots who don't think they look feminine enough

The evidence is clear - use of drink/drugs should be treated as a health issue, not a crime

Police can only deal with the immediate consequences of drink/drug related anti-social behaviour, long-term solutions mean providing people with support and care

Happy #InternationalIntersexAwarenessDay!

Intersex people have always existed, and the struggles of trans & intersex people are deeply intertwined.

There are many ways to be a woman, man, or non binary person, & everyone deserves to have control over their body and live as their authentic self.

Being disabled is a minority group you can join at any time.

Everyone believes they will be the exception. That it won’t happen to them, or when it does they will “try harder” than us

The truth is most people will become disabled.

Health is both fragile & temporary.

The UN Commission has declared that Israel is committing genocide & in their article about it, the BBC said

“At least 64,905 people have been killed in Israeli attacks in Gaza since then, according to the territory's Hamas-run health ministry.”

People who aren’t paying attention don’t think anti-trans stuff matters, as they don’t know any, & think of caricatures of trans ppl on sitcoms etc. To the far right yobs it does matter. This happened in Dublin, which doesn’t have the anti-trans culture of Britain. You should care:

The video @thesinankose.bsky.social did about the Online Safety Act is such an insightful takedown of the entire thing. It's also got a bunch of useful references in the description for the next time someone tries to pretend that this law is about protecting kids

When the media are freaking out about “out of control spending” they are lying to your faces.

Welfare isn’t “spending”, either. It’s an investment. ALL of that money goes back into the economy.

Money leaves our economy when we let the rich hoard it & refuse to tax giant foreign companies properly.
