This is such an important thread 👇🏽We are at an extraordinary point in history where women’s reproductive rights is under threat again. Some 17 states (and counting) have outlawed nearly all abortions- with very narrow exceptions. We should be really concerned about what the future holds for women.

Great to read more about @bestforbritain.bsky.social 's research on the economic benefits of closer EU cooperation. Proud that this govt is the first in 15yrs to seek a stronger relationship with Europe—& I’ll keep making the case for pragmatic improvements to our UK-EU deal as part of that reset.

I haven’t said much publicly about the podcast I’ve done with @BBCSounds & the great @GeorgiaJCatt yet. But it’s a creepy story about how creepy technology is used to creep out a young woman, my former stepdaughter, Hannah. But that’s only the beginning 1/ podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/s...

History buffs will know that every authoritarian leader eventually converges on some version of: "I am the state. I can not break the law, I am the law, the law is instantiated in me." Our march to authoritarianism so far has been excruciatingly by-the-book. Hitting every beat. No surprises.

Another great blog from @bryonyshannon.bsky.social - I never thought of the word "beds" in these terms, but she's right how the language of beds and social care have become intertwined, I even used the term bed bound to describe my mum, oh, & read the end story about Clive at the end! #socialcare

There is always something you can do to gum up the works of fascism. A story. Claude Cahun. The queer nonbinary French-Jewish photographer. Nazis conquered France, were training soldiers on Jersey, where Cahun lived w/their partner, Marcel Moore. They did disinfo & morale smashing via Surrealism.

🇬🇧 🇺🇦 It’s coming up to the end of the 3yr initial visa period. Not in the final 28 days yet for my guest. But this is already impacting her ability to upskill (whilst working). She was told yesterday that the college would only consider her application once her visa was renewed. Back in limbo.
