To end rough sleeping you need to fund domestic violence shelters, mental health services, drug and alcohol rehabilitation programmes, let people seeking asylum work, and increase welfare spending.
England won? Good. Thats a lot of women safer for another night. Why do we let this happen at all? Well, that’s a really good question.
Brits love the GC movement because its a form of fascism cloying and twee enough for them.
I regret that leaving Monkey Cage was necessary, but I will never regret leaving people who considered siding with hatred was more important than siding with our many non binary and trans listeners - each day I see the further empowerment of hate , the more I realise there was no other option
Surprising to see Elon claim it was Soros - everybody else knows it was the UTM* *Underground Trans Mafia
The IOC has announced a trans and intersex athlete ban requiring an invasive SRY genetic test for female athletes. In the 20+ years trans women were eligible, only one ever competed and none ever medaled. This is solving for a problem that doesn't exist. www.nbcnews.com/sports/olymp...
Transgender women banned from Olympics by new IOC policy
The new policy limits eligibility in women’s events to biological females based on genetic screening beginning at the 2028 Games.

The NHS struggles to record and recognise non binary gender identities. Not surprising then that the evidence base for non binary identities is poor. Note- this is not trans masc only non binary. www.england.nhs.uk/wp-content/u...

Please just answer this one question, what’s an appropriate length of time for an adult to wait to see an nhs gender clinic, if the nhs can’t meet that target why isn’t right to choose implemented? again I’m talking about adults here not kids.

Today's ban on NHS HRT for under 18s formalises a policy that has already been in place - Noone under 18 has received a new prescription for HRT since mid 2024 (I don't know of any since late 2023). Of course this policy also raises the risk of similar action on private healthcare for under 18s.
EmiB71@emiliab.bsky.social · 11mo ago#UK #TransRights An FOI has just confirmed what all of us have feared: for the Youth gender services, since July 2024, not a single patient has been referred to commence HRT. And 22 have been moved from youth to adult services , also without treatment. This is scandalous.
Medical transition for trans kids is now banned for new referrals on the NHS. Trans kids in the UK can still go private or DIY (for now). This means the new clinics that replaced GIDS are close to useless at best, conversion therapy at worst. 1/5

Former Chief Medical Officer calls out Streeting’s highly politicised ‘trial’ of puberty blockers. Meanwhile @goodlawproject.org have uncovered a spike in trans youth ending their own lives because they can’t access appropriate care. This is a national scandal.
If you find yourself on the same side as Hitler, Trump and Putin in a culture war, it is probably time to reconsider. Scapegoating trans people is fascism, plain and simple
From the MHRA “This trial will only be allowed to go ahead if the expert scientific and clinical evidence and advice conclude it is both safe and necessary.” www.gov.uk/government/n...
PATHWAYS clinical trial paused following new MHRA advice
The MHRA have raised new concerns around the PATHWAYS trial looking into the prescription of puberty blockers among young people with gender incongruence.

The law on universities and free speech prevents speakers from being *disinvited after they have been invited*. It does not require universities to provide a platform to whoever demands one. Let's not mince words: the threat to cut funding to every university who disagrees with them is fascist.
Otto English@ottoenglish.bsky.social · 6mo agoThis is pretty menacing. Sarah Pochin wrote to Bangor's university student run debating society requesting that she attend to "answer questions from students." When they said "no" Reform rolled all it's tanks onto the lawns and said they'll cut funding to the entire university if they win.

Dan Kaszeta FRHistS@dankaszeta.bsky.social · 6mo agoThread. 🧵 (1/x) On the superiority of water as the primary decontaminant for tear gas and peppery spray on skin and eyes. To make it clear to people, this is a thread. Some of you are not clear on the concept. I will reply this with another post and mark it with a number in (x). And so forth. (1)
The alternative being “ full speed ahead to couldn’t give a sh1t, burn the planet, isolationism” I know which I’ll choose
Ben Ansell@benansell.bsky.social · 6mo ago"Full speed ahead to uber-woke, net-zeroist rejoinerism" is the funniest thing a Labour MP has said for some time I'll give it that. It's like a Jordan Peterson quote about Elmo.
crazy that basically every person complaining about "woke overreach" over the last 12 years is also in the epstein emails being like "thanks for the pussy, jeff ;)"

I’ve met a few politicians in my NHS career. Some care, some are smart, some are just political. I found Andy Burnam to be top in all three, I am not a Labour voter but having him in Parliament at this time would have been excellent.
He pretends to be outraged when war memorials are disrespected during marches that pass by them but the actual denigration of British war dead? “Not quite fair.” What an irredeemable shitbag.
Roland Smith@rolandmcs.bsky.social · 7mo agoMontie thinks this is Farage 'blasting' Trump.
A decade of trans advocacy has taught me people believe lies because they want to, not because they don't know they are lies. They believe trans people will regret our transition because they want us to regret our transition. They believe we are a "social contagion" because that is how they see us
How dare the Coward in the White House undermine the bravery and sacrifice of our British troops. Reform and Nigel Farage should be ashamed to associate themselves with him.
