A very important thread. When I was probably no more than 10, I saw this picture of the woman known as Harlow in the Philly Inquirer. A little babygay, I was shocked that such a glamour queen could live in my hometown and even more shocked to see her described as "a former man."

3 years ago, with no warning, a brilliant orange farm cat wandered over from the draughty barn where he had been living, in rural Cornwall, and decided he wanted to live with us instead.
We decided to call him Jim.
This is the first photo I took of him, on that night: December 1st, 2022.

“Her opening monologue was nothing more than a laundry list of Maga stereotypes about the British. The woman longs to become Donald Trump’s Lord Haw-Haw…”
I don’t know whether Truss is broken from loosing the PM role or just a grifter, but it’s not a good look.

If Nigel Farage claims he was just a teenage racist but grew out of it, here's what he had to say about Shamima Begum in 2019.
He was happy to judge her harshly as an adult for her teenage behaviour + beliefs even though she'd been groomed: "She clearly from these comments is a convinced jihadist."

It is really easy to scold on socials. It is really hard to tease out subtleties of opinion. I think this inhibits a lot of the left, many of whom fear causing offence - and for good reason.

The Government's Child Poverty Strategy begins to turn the tide on child poverty.
As a result, child poverty rates will fall next year – the first time in nine years (outside the pandemic).
But other child poverty headwinds remain.

Someone needs to tell Morgan Mc-HiltonTimothyCummings-Sweaney that Reform voters are NOT Labour’s friends & a most sizeable majority would vote AGAINST Labour in a heartbeat, & chasing them is damaging to both the country & the party. MMcS is an example of ‘the Peter Principle’ if ever I saw one. 🥹

The HUGE red flag is he's employed Simon Wessely to look into this.
Wessely is a psychologist who's made a career out of gaslighting people with #MECFS, and has never apologised despite research now showing it's a condition with detectable physical bio-markers and gene expression.

Considering Streeting's well stated belief autism, ADHD etc, along with mental health issues, are "overdiagnosed", I won't hold my breath for this doing anything other than being used to cut support, along with opportunities for diagnosis, for people who need it. #r4today
