Our political class has been dreaming of turning this country into a declining Dickensian hellhole for decades, and we're so close now! In just a couple of tax-free years, they should be able to see the elderly, sick and disabled dying before their eyes in the gutters outside their gated communites.

I'm seeing a lot of people respond to the UK government's talk about disabled people with "Can't we just wait and see what happens?" Really? How did that approach work out for people in the US? #disability

There is no way any government claiming to be "centre left", or any government claiming to believe in democracy for that matter, should be looking at the way Trump has violated laws to push through his agenda and be saying, especially publicly, "this is what we need to be doing, just more of it".

The British press, ladies and gentlemen: behaving as horrifically as they can for decades on end with increasingly National Front incitement to racial hatred, and then telling the public the very idea they behave badly is a communist judicial plot to entrench the dominant power of the lesser races.

Two key things, flagged in reposts below from @cjayanetti.bsky.social and @alasdairmackenzie.bsky.social, about Labour. They don't need to be implementing policies which harm already vulnerable and demonised groups, but it is part of what they have become as the Overton Window has shifted. 1/

Labour absolutely need to backtrack on plans to cut benefits. Disabled individuals are already struggling. It's already far too hard to access support, especially for "hidden disabilities", such as autism. Even before cuts come in they are increasing stress and fear. www.bigissue.com/opinion/disa...

Last Friday, Labour leaked their disability cuts plans to ITV leading to panic, despair, hopelessness and a noticeable spike in suicidal ideation in disabled communities. Rachel Reeves wouldn’t have noticed this though as she was enjoying a free box at a Sabrina Carpenter gig.

Starmer is still kissing the ass of the US and Israel? There's a genocide of trans people happening in the US, and a genocide happening in Gaza and Starmer is "Ooh okay can we do a trade deal, and here's some F-35 parts and weapons".

Another prominent "gender critical" activist, who loves to bang on and on about "winning," has actually lost in her long-running case.

Not denigrating the issue, but slightly related, something I regularly find darkly ironic are the number of people who rage against "breakdown of families" while calling for removal of the right to a family life and pushing for separating families through deportations. www.bbc.com/news/article...

Not entirely relevant to Joyce's usual copy and paste rant, but "midwife" isn't a gendered term. It means "with the wife". As medical techniques advance I don't understand why updating the term makes a huge amount of difference, or assumes they will be women.

The Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) has refused to apologise for massively exaggerating the rise in people claiming out-of-work disability benefits, and then tried to cover-up its actions. www.disabilitynewsservice.com/dwp-refuses-... @johnpring.bsky.social

Health Secretary Wes Streeting has received £311,400 from private healthcare interests since entering Parliament. Could that be reason he's such a fan of private involvement in our health service? The Green Party is clear - private profit motive should be nowhere near the NHS.

The uncomfortable truth Cruddas is hinting at here is that for at least ten years and probably longer, “politics” has mostly been the lobby hacks giggling along with horrific wingnut party functionaries in behind closed doors meetings, before rushing to post and publish whatever they’ve been told.

The point is not that Rachel Reevew communication on growth is awful. It's not just a desperate strategy to do more of what isn't working. So much more fundamental. It's that Labour decided to be on the side of the elites and screw over the rest of us. And they've been found out.

What Trump wants is the dictionary definition of genocide. It's the forced displacement of an entire population. He is compounding the atrocity by trying to remove them to countries such as Sudan which are conducting horrendous breaches of human rights themselves. The world needs to step up.

I feel like the number one thing that tax is for is helping disabled people live. What other possible thing could society need to do more than ensuring those who can't survive without help get the help they need? It's more fundamental even than roads. Helping each other is literally what society is

We all knew Starmer's "AI" plan was crackers and Blair has his meddling fingers in the pie. It turns out it's not only a Labour science minister who's using ChatGPT instead of asking, you know, experts. The Tony Blair Institute used some fake numbers from it. pivot-to-ai.com/2025/03/10/f...

Giving politicians (with their personal political/ ideological/ financial agendas) more direct control over our healthcare is a DANGEROUS thing! Just look at RFK Jr in the US to see what happens when extremist politicians have control! 😣

The family of Enoch Burke - the obsessive evangelical ex-teacher with a restraining order against him, as he kept walking into his previous school to protest not being able to be transphobic to trans pupils, despite being fired - have gone to the US to make a scene about it to MAGA journos! 😣
