Yes, technically. The NHS constitutional standard is 18 weeks for most referrals and a maximum of 52 weeks to first treatment, but there's no enforcement mechanism. So there's no clear legal recourse as they fail in wait times.

The average working class person is more concerned about being able to afford their rent, bills, and food.
It's only middle and upper classes that have the time and resources to spread the hate that is designed to divide us.

Don't know about calm, but I always want to get to the bottom of things.

Ah, I see. Have been to every conference since Newport in 2019, so will definitely be there.

No worries, none of us couldn't let it go unchallenged.
I'm Bristol based, but will be in Bournemouth for Green Party conference this October.

Our leaders have very little executive power, so had to ensure noone else made that decision, which we now can confirmed they haven't. We have a statement out now.

I have already been in contact with them, and they also don't know where Shahrar got this from. We are currently trying to figure out if there's any truth to what he is saying.

I wish I didn't check every claim I came across, maybe then I could get some rest 😂
But ensuring that correct information is out there is really important with the current state of the world.

I would say things like improving public transport, encouraging flexible working policies, and ensuring people have local services nearby are the things to focus on.
On a base level, people are still going to be stuck in traffic if everyone is in their car at the same time in the day.

The Norwegian government has heavily subsidised EVs and built up the charging infrastructure.

Even if we suppose it was true. Increasing productivity that much would just lead to companies laying people off, which they are already trying to do. And I don't see Keir tackling that problem.

Do we know what profile they will be?

The only thing they have to hold them together is hating us. When left alone, they always turn on each other.

It shouldn't be normal for disabled people to have anxiety when contacted by DWP.
But it's become expected for us to be concerned about assessments because of how dehumanising and punitive they are.
Making people feel like this shouldn't be the point of the welfare system.

I relate more to being a Ditto, though that might be the autism.
