‘Further & Faster’ Cutting services for patients This is not what people voted for when they voted for Labour But somehow Labour is Tory 2.0 Austerity in the NHS / Welfare leads to a poorer economy as more people unable to work @rthonwesstreeting.bsky.social

Labour might wonder why, less than a year into a new government promising “change”, people are giving up on it in droves. So let me help it out with a few clues. 1. Cutting disability benefits 2. Freezing Local Housing Allowance. 3. Maintaining the cruel, Malthusian two-child benefit cap .... 🧵

Motion passed by doctors at the British Medical Association refers to the recent Supreme Court ruling as ‘scientifically illiterate’: ‘sex and gender are complex and multifaceted aspects of the human condition and attempting to impose a rigid binary has no basis in science or medicine’.

I share the deep disappointment in today's Supreme Court ruling, and the concerns about what this will mean for trans women going forward. Today and every day, I stand in unwavering solidarity with the trans community. We must never stop fighting for trans rights.

Trump officials admitted to an “administrative error” when they deported Abrego Garcia — a legal resident with no criminal record. A judge ordered Garcia be returned, but Trump is fighting it in court. Garcia now sits in a prison in El Salvador. The cruelty is staggering.

This is a big deal. Spread the word. But it’s tiny compared to the totality of what’s happening at NIH. Cure Research for all cancers, Alzheimer’s, everything is being gutted. Intentionally. It’s all getting burned to the ground but the news isn’t getting out. The new cures won’t be there for you.

We spoke with North Carolina Supreme Court Justice Allison Riggs after a state court ruling put 65k ballots in her race at risk. Along with promising to appeal the ruling, Justice Riggs described how this is "a fight for the very soul of democracy." Watch the full interview: youtu.be/8HfXI4d1byk

A point not made enough: the UK runs a trade goods deficit with the US so shouldn’t be paying any tariffs at all based on the White House formula (10% is not a “win”).

Happy #AwfulApril everyone 🙃 Energy bills ⬆️ to nearly £2k Water bills ⬆️ 31% in some areas Basic food prices 📈 All affect the poorest worst. All ON TOP of Govt cuts to support for pensioners, children, disabled people. These are political choices. Labour could have chosen a #WealthTax

Oh my God. The email contains an implied threat that any student who doesn’t immediately leave might be sent to El Salvador. /technically it says “countries other than their countries of origin,” but the context right now, given everything going on, makes the threat clear.

Nadia Whittome, "What is the justification for cutting disability benefits, when a third of disabled people are already in poverty, instead of chosing to tax the rich?" Rachel Reeves doesn't explain why she won't have a wealth tax instead

Rachel Reeves has changed her plans before—when millionaires pushed back on the abolition of non-dom status, she softened her plans. Why will she not listen to disabled people now and scrap these cruel cuts to welfare? Does she only change course when the wealthiest complain? #SpringStatement

I don't often ask people to write to their MPs. But I think they might listen to you on this, as it's so jaw-droppingly awful, and they're almost certainly unaware of it. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre... Please also write to the Environment Secretary: [email protected] Thanks.

Wes Streeting said the NHS is "addicted to overspending". Silence on privatisation, handing parts of the NHS to private equity. 30% - 40% of money handed over vanishes in corporate profits. NHS trains doctors, private sector uses them without any payment. Expand NHS capacity. End profiteering.

People who believe that increasing poverty & deprivation is what drives people into work & motivates them to improve their lot are people who have never been anywhere near poverty & deprivation All the evidence says increasing benefits improves outcomes Benefit cuts are just performative cruelty

We desperately need to see the end of the bloodshed in Ukraine, but the Ukrainian people need to be front and centre of any settlement. We cannot have Putin or Trump dictating the future of Ukraine.
