Learning disability medicine as an emergency department sub-specialty is a step in the right direction, but it needs to be a specialism and a department in its own right, like geriatrics.

Offer a specialism in anthropolyatrics, watch your colleagues compete for multisyllabic kudos!

NEW: What’s happening in the US is TECHNOFASCISM.

It’s fascism + surveillance technologies. Palantir is playing a central role. And the UK is next in line.

The accusation that the Lords are “obstructing democracy” by supporters of the assisted dying bill is a ridiculous one that shows up the flaws in this process that have been there from the very beginning – which have repeatedly been covered up by heated rhetoric (1/?)

There’s plenty more exchanges between Bannon and Epstein on their European plotting - as Epstein says to Bannon in 2019

🏫What on Earth is going on with Oxford
👽Where the conspiracy theories have come from

And then we’ll look at the Telegraph article

Doesn't cover her attempts to buy votes back in 2000. Front page of Varsity (the Cambridge student paper). I know the guy who wrote the letter flagging her improper behaviour and vaguely remember the controversy.

Sue-Ellen Cassiana #SuellaBraverman née Fernandes (Aged 20 in 2000) had a bit of a problem with a "vote rigging" scandal reported in #Varsity magazine.

New pal Nigel got a mention on that Facebook warning that @carolecadwalla.bsky.social did in her #TEDTalk about #Brexit #CambridgeAnalytical.

Tell me again how this BBC editorialising is just my cognitive bias... This isn't a quote from anywhere. It's just the BBC's description of this disgraced, divisive politician.

In fact, he was insistent. His final journey must start at Waterloo – but those tracks head south west. The train could get to Oxon, but: point-switching; complications. So, why?

Well, so he could force General de Gaulle, President of France, to walk under an arch celebrating the defeat of Napoleon

As things stand, disabled people aren't protected from a society - including many members of the medical profession - which makes ableist judgements on lives it doesn't understand or value.
Until that changes, Assisted Dying (more accurately, assisted suicide) is a danger to all vulnerable people.
This is the problem with Assisted Dying policies that are implemented without sufficient policies to ensure a right to care or a dignified life.

A Canadian man waited a year for treatment for end of life care only to get denied.

His MAiD approval happened in two weeks.

That’s eugenics.
A man waits nearly a year for regulated psilocybin therapy to ease end-of-life distress and is denied.

He applies for MAiD and is approved in 3 weeks.

Bureaucracy moves fast when it wants to.

They mean internal AP warehousing, a portacabin in the playground where they stick kids who would otherwise be identified as having SEND. Maybe even an offsite ‘facility’. They can’t expel them because they just passed a CWB amendment to ensure no kids can be home educated without LA agreement.

The Windrush scandal continues 7 years after the scheme was set up. In a recent assessment from the compensation scheme, it shows they have no data on victims being made homeless, if you became homeless because of the scandal you will be awarded just £250 for every month you were homeless.
🧵I wish I could say George’s story is unique - the Windrush scandal continues to damage the lives of many and shows what happens when you let hostility drive immigration reform rather than common sense.

It's easier for journalists to take right-wing populism to task *before* it becomes a full-fledged Trumpian regime.

Reform UK, Britain's answer to 'MAGA', has a credible path to power. And the monopoly press is failing to scrutinise it.

These figures expose a lethal scandal taking place in plain sight but ignored due to societal prejudice: four in ten deaths of people with learning disabilities are avoidable, double the number of other citizens.
