From DPAC. Please share far and wide. These concessions are meaningless. They will still heavily negatively impact current claimants during renewal, as well as new claimants. Disabled ppl *will* die because of this, just like they’ve died when they’ve attacked disability benefits before.

Rich, private schooled, has been disabled for less than 2 years and his 'work' is as a life peer - a job so easy you don't even have to do it.

What is happening in Ballymena is not a protest about women's safety. It is vile, blatant, targeted racism and nothing else.

In at least 20 of the 24 deaths, the killers - or the suspects in their killings - were well-known to the women.

When an alleged assault by non-locals hits the news, Ballymena explodes - protests, violence, chaos. But when local men face charges for domestic violence, rape, or child abuse, where’s the outrage? Where are the crowds demanding justice for victims?
No riots. No burning houses. No headlines.

Very suprised to see @thirdsector.co.uk using #Mermaids, an charity targeted by vehemently transphobic TERFs, as part of their "when charities go wrong podcast" despite the overall findings by the regulator & the wide pool of inquiries to choose from. Be nice to know why they've piled on?

Private providers costing ICB ‘three times more’ than NHS equivalent
NHS-funded access to private autism and ADHD services is "unsustainable" and "up to three times more expensive than our local provision", according to an integrated care board's review.

Over a month of siege has left people in #Gaza deprived of food, water and medicine, marking the longest period without relief since the war began.
Doctors Without Borders' teams are forced to ration medications and treat wounds without pain relief.
This must end.

An important piece by @saranahmed.bsky.social. This in particular stands out. Substitute transphobia for any other bigotry and the arguments used by gender critical activists quickly fall down. When calling out hate speech becomes more controversial than the speech itself we live troubling times.
