Reading this I just don’t know how me meeting Streeting will make any difference. It’ll cause me psychological harm to go, but to not do it will also mess with my head, because I won’t have tried everything in my power. Obviously this is all tied up with negative thoughts about failing Alice.
In a screeching u-turn from its Manifesto the Government now backs conversion therapy for trans people. That is what 'supporting' trans youth but denying them the medicine they need to physically transition means.
Government 'moving away' from puberty blockers, minister says

The idea that Europe and the UK can't risk falling out with Trump because USA provides our weapons is nonsense. We can build our own weapons, which would make us safer and boost our stagnant economies. Any competent politician would tell you so.

This is why politicians need to worry more about appealing to the trans vote than the GC vote. Trans people have friends have family who multiply the vote value of every trans person. GC alienate their family and friends and only have each other.
I'll never understand how working class "gender critical" activists, who are struggling to get by due to a deliberate widening of the gap between the wealthy and the poor, have been convinced that a billionaire smugly smoking a cigar on a superyacht has a keen interest in making their lives better.

Keir Starmer’s diplomatic response to Donald Trump’s invasion of Venezuela has drawn criticism from some of his own MPs. Why have European leaders offered such a muted response to such major action?
