Please write to your MP ahead of next week’s vote on disability benefit cuts. Remind them: 🧵 if these cuts go through, someone who needs assistance to cut up food, wash their hair and body below the waist, use the toilet, and also to dress/undress their lower body will no longer be eligible for PIP.

To break up the doomscrolling, here are some bees.

Dear software companies and app developers: if you're that convinced that people want AI inserted into everything, what have you got to lose by making it optional and LETTING USERS TURN IT OFF? At least Clippy the crappy MS 'assistant' wasn't draining the planet's energy and water resources.

Day 80 of Israeli blockade on Gaza, using starvation as a weapon against 2m people, half of them children. The 100 trucks that were allowed in yesterday - "a drop in the ocean" - did not even reach their destinations.

'Island of strangers'. Thinking of my neighbour from Romania with the gorgeous front garden and an endearing basset hound. The parents running the Arabic / Spanish / Asian food stalls at the school summer fete. Going to the funfair on Friday with my friend from Jordan and our kids. Fuck off Starmer.

this is not an exaggeration

Same old story - media whips up outrage about immigration, government backs them up with anti-immigrant rhetoric and terrible policies. And more voters turn to Reform as a result.
