This is exactly why we need to be organized in our defense of the freedom to read. The book banners are organized & we'll funded. But they are also unpopular. Our numbers can beat their money
Majority of attempts to ban books in US come from organised groups, not parents
Last year 72% of demands to censor books were initiated by pressure groups and government entities; with just 16% of ban attempts made by parents

I am significantly disabled. I need help showering. I need help preparing food. It's hard enough being disabled. I am beyond furious that Starmer thinks I & other disabled people like me need to be 'incentivised' into work by cutting the meagre support we rely on to help us live a dignified life.

We’re only two months in, & they’re cancelling research into pediatric brain cancer. They’re deporting US kids with brain cancer. They’re putting millions at risk of malaria, TB, & polio.
I for one will never forgive or forget those who said ‘it won’t be that bad’.

Relevant to the 'disabled people need to work' discussions:
A contact of mine applied for a job.
They asked for one small cost-free 'reasonable adjustment'.
The employer promptly told them they couldn't have this.

Look I feel like I shouldn’t have to say this but if you’re a liberal and the president is like “We are going to detain and deport this guy for protesting” the correct response is not “Protesting what?”

The Great Disability Myth
Disability isn't increasing because of "fraud" or "overdiagnosis." It's increasing because people age, because we've lived through a pandemic, because austerity made people sicker. But Labour wants to use a moral panic to justify taking even more.
