Dear podcasters reporting on Epstein there is no such thing as "underage women" let's stop this insidious pervasive language. Nobody ever talks about "underage men" "underage adults". The word you are looking for is "children" or "teenagers". It's a weird reframing

Absolutely loved this episode, goes along nicely with my current reading of "thinking in systems" by Donella Meadows. This episode really ticked all my boxes. Wonderful
"The state functions through process. You have a set of rules and a network of officials whose job is to apply them. The product of having no trade or industrial strategy for a decade, is form detatching from function. The state intervening in ways that are significant, without being meaningful."

In some good news reporting, had to call Haringey Adult Social Care and got through straight away to a lovely and empathetic member of staff. This is how council experiences should be.

Current proposals on welfare reform will increase levels of poverty among disabled households.
As part of the Disability Charities Consortium, we’ve written to Liz Kendall and Rachel Reeves to ask for a cross-governmental strategy to lift disabled people out of poverty.

35 minutes in waiting queue for access to work to ask why 3 months was not enough time to deal with my complaint about underpaying me. Found their complaints policy that someone had to FOI out of them, @rnib.bsky.social have a complaints template and a very sensible list of demands. Yet nada

Last year my wife had breast cancer and a double mastectomy.
This morning, for the first time ever, she was challenged in the changing rooms at the swimming pool. Her breasts were not what make her a woman - but, breasts or not, she is entitled to dignity and protection from vigilantes.

The first half was tough to record because we are all feeling very bruised by Starmer’s rhetoric on immigrants. But we cheered ourselves up for topic 2 which is as comprehensive a take on what to expect from the summit as it was possible to condense into a short pod. Enjoy!

@quietriotpod.bsky.social honestly I feel exactly what alex said about labour, I really tried but as a disabled EU/Arab immigrant running pride club at my school surely enough is enough. Writing to Lammy, my MP and seriously - he lost 12.000 votes last time, I think the Greens could have a chance!

Brilliant news. I'm quite emotional. Govt has agreed to investigate Council Tax rapid debt collection escalation that is catastrophic for millions. Miss one MONTH'S payment and within six weeks you can have baliffs forcing you to pay for the YEAR plus £100s admin charges.

I thought of a different invisible than what is mentioned in the article. Without pip many people will have to cut down on attending community spaces, additional health care and just stay home. We are already forgotten by many, this will speed this up. It's so shortsighted & ignorant

Those who lose benefit payments will find it difficult to access care and support services, says Policy in Practice
Hundreds of thousands of seriously ill and disabled people will become “invisible” and cut adrift from local support services as a result of the government’s £5bn programme of disability benefit cuts, experts have warned.
Claimants who do not qualify for personal independence payment (Pip) or incapacity benefits would lose a “marker of need” with local councils and NHS bodies, making it “nearly impossible” for them to access help, said the consultancy Policy in Practice. Continue reading...
