It's #RSEday today and the theme is communication. So here's a resource I wrote last year on how to make conversations about sex and relationships easier. #RSEday25 www.bishuk.com/relationship...

Here's a nice overview of the coaching methodology I use www.youtube.com/watch?v=MaJl... if you fancy a session or two... justinhancock.co.uk#coaching

Politics is not a game. It's people's lives. The Government's welfare cuts will have a catastrophic impact on the sick & disabled, and plunge hundreds of thousands of people into poverty. It's simple: show some humanity and drop this Bill, now.

The biggest security threats facing people in the UK right now are the climate emergency (which is existential) and the manifold threats to their economic security caused by the dire state of British capitalism The threat of Russian tanks rolling up the M20 toward Whitehall is not high on the list.

I have been so busy I almost forgot it was St George's birthday. He would have loved the Mamdani win. Ore pro nobis Sancte Georgi.

Hard not to argue that the Labour parliamentary party are useless. They'd better learn from Zohran right quick Morgan McSweeney: Labour’s election fixer under fire as welfare rebellion looms - on.ft.com/43ZlqEM via @FT

📣Hot off the press! Taking Stock: A foundation for future housing strategy. We challenge persistent myths about the housing crisis and highlight ways to meet housing need within environmental limits. First output for 🏠Homes that Don’t Cost the Earth🌍. Read a 10 min summary: tinyurl.com/mu59kb29

These aren't mom and pop grocery store owners forced to pay protection money to the local mob boss. They're leaders of some of the richest nation states in the world. Grovelling and selling out their national interests to a neo-fascist is very much not the only thing they can do in the circumstances

Tens of millions of Europeans will be materially worse off as their governments shift resources from social programs to militarism. All on the demand of a foreign neo-fascist regime that they didn't even try to stand up to. So much for "defence" and "national security".

It's really worth listening to Zohran Mamdani's victory speech. a) we don't get much good news b) it's really good. The way he talks about solidarity is inspiring. Why we struggle to have our version of this I'll have a go at answering below www.youtube.com/watch?v=yxyX...

I wonder if Jonathan Ashworth helped out the Zohran campaign?!

Zohran’s victory is an earthquake. The left everywhere must dedicate itself to an insurgency against Dem incumbents. The Dem establishment has lost credibility w/ its base in the face of fascist threat. The base is looking leftward for new leadership. We are the opposition party.

"Hegemony in the sense of trying to mould a common sense - that's over... It's just pure, brute force assertion, backed up by violence and power." - @leninology.bsky.social on public opinion and the US attack on Iran:

The Iranian operation against the US air base in Qatar was clearly just symbolic - a retaliatory option of the kind discussed in the latest episode with @leninology.bsky.social www.patreon.com/posts/interr... :

Something that makes advice giving increasingly difficult is people want understanding, forgiveness and compassion for themselves and their loved ones - but the absolute opposite for everybody else.

When someone else is enjoying something we feel that enjoyment too. Just like we might get pleasure from touching someone as they get pleasure from being touched. All pleasure emerges *between* what we do. So it’s not compromise, it’s teamwork. www.bishuk.com/sex/compromi...

It was a real case of bad timing. We concocted the project because we thought that the 2015 election would either result in Labour or another coalition government, which would have meant statutory RSE then. By the time statutory RSE did come in the project was cut (and RSE is in a dire state atm).

People did you see that fire in the city? It's like we're fresh out of democratic Gotta get yourself a little something semi-automatic, yeah www.youtube.com/watch?v=ABhZ...

Sally Rooney understands exactly what is required from someone of her profession and social standing in this moment. We've seen so much cowardice from so many quarters in recent times that it's almost a shock to be reminded what a person of conscience acting with true integrity looks like.

FYI I am on Chapo today if you want to hear me talk about this and why it's important. But also you could just check it out here...

The government's welfare Bill is a cruel and disgusting attack on disabled people and their right to live in dignity. MPs should ask themselves: did you become an MP so you could push thousands of disabled people into poverty?

This free RSE resource (6 lesson plans, guidelines, self reflection activities)written by me and Alice Hoyle is still one of the best out there. A good example of how big companies could do a lot of good if they wanted (but don't, for now) bishtraining.com/do-rse-for-s...
