Do they genuinely believe in equality & fairness? Their lives alone answer that. The vast wealth, the inherited privilege, the unquestioned status, the distance from the realities ordinary people face every day. Their very existence contradicts the values they claim to represent.

This is a welcome & reflective intervention. 'Overdiagnosis' is a simplistic & stigmatising explanation for what, in reality, is a complex interplay of health, social & economic factors. The focus should be on getting people the right support at the right time www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Huge moment to finally see the two-child limit scrapped. It has been a machine for driving up child poverty, which will cost us all more in the long term, scarring the lives of those directly hit by its cruel impact. Credit to everyone who has tirelessly campaigned for its end

Great to meet today and chat with Anna Collar - Green Mayoral candidate for Hampshire and IOW.

This is a fight the Greens can and must win!

We don't have the big banks backing us, but we do have people power!

If you are local, can you chip in?

Heartbreaking figures. The causes will, of course, be complex. But a caricatured debate about 'overdiagnosis' is a dangerous distraction when, as @mind.org.uk's @gemmabyrne.bsky.social says here, over half a million under-18s are on mental health waiting lists www.theguardian.com/society/2025...

Reform UK don't stand for the working class. They groom them, manipulate them. They are skinheads in suits who work for the billionaires.

They want to cut public services to the bone, and steal our hard earned community money.

They want us to fight each other.

Reform UK are the establishment.

Mental health support isn’t equal.

People from racialised communities face worse outcomes and unfair treatment.

The UK government needs to go further to stamp out racism in the Mental Health Act for good

We've lost the legendary Ricky Hatton and suddenly everyone is like "if you're struggling, speak to someone", but we've literally spent years playing down mental health, denying people disability benefits, and acting like depression is not a real illness. This has to change.
