I'm starting a PGDip in Psychodynamic Psychotherapy very soon, and have an intimidating reading list to source!

I'm on the lookout for physical copies of the following - if you have a copy for sale and are happy to save a WC trainee the cost, please let me know!

I always love it when people get up on their high horse about this, because I do know lots of people who were Tories for decades and are now Reform and let me tell you, getting to know them is a highly instructive and helpful experience with many useful lessons. Give me a minute here.

Something that’s been missed about the blocking of the Hillsborough law is that it’s intrinsically linked to the genocide in Gaza.

Why? Because it would allow public officials who lie to be prosecuted.

I’m sorry, the DWP announcing “don’t worry, the benefits u-turn means only 150,000 people will be pushed into poverty now!” is just insane. Cruel, incompetent ghouls who shouldn’t be allowed to run a bath let alone a system sick people rely on to live.

Fuck off.

This governance-by-opinion-poll has to end. Stop asking people's opinions about stuff we don't have the tools to understand and do the damn work you've been elected for.

A couple of months ago after UKIP held a Mass Deportations rally, leader Nick Tenconi along with his security team and supporters went to drink and chat together at a pub. What they weren't aware of was that their actions and conversations were being monitored by one of our activists throughout.

I genuinely don't know how to process this. It seems unthinkable that deliberate, calculated mass starvation is just... happening. In full view. It's impossible and yet real.
World Central Kitchen has run out of food to serve in Gaza. Its bakery ("recently the last working bakery in Gaza") is out of flour. There are 100,000+ tons of food in staging areas within driving distance of Gaza, and Israel refuses to let them in wck.org/news/gaza-up...
