Chronic lurker, people at work message and ask me for ‘a hammer and sickle chat’ when they want to check something or get info on our policy. I’m in a union, byline times subscriber for years, my social media is very angry politics and some hobbies.
PFI is expensive and funnels money out of the NHS in the long term. We are still paying off the last PFI deals and don’t far more than we received. This is a quick way to make a difference now!
NHS private finance diverts money away from healthcare, towards the pockets of private shareholders.

If the EHRC had their way we'd see all women forced back into wearing only skirts and dresses and wearing their hair long lest they be suspected of being trans and banned from going to the toilet.
That's what this is suggesting. Masculine women being denied access alongside trans people.

![The guidance said that if transgender people are excluded from a space, organisations should consider whether there is a suitable alternative for them and that it would not be proportionate to leave them without essential services, such as access to lavatories.
But it also outlines how in some cases that may not be possible owing to the physical constraints of buildings or high costs. It said: “It may be that offering alternative arrangements is not reasonably possible […] this may be because of the type of service being provided, the needs of the service users, the physical constraints of any building, or because of the disproportionate financial costs associated with making those arrangements.”](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:movr4wsu2du5xbmeragyr5cx/bafkreigp3qse73rzhl2czgxgbmpzectwrb4hdwxk44fm52m7l7cu36mwaa@jpeg)

Your choice is quite literally a bipartisan cabal of pedophilic drone-wielding genocidal oligarchs that suck each other off in depraved games of domination and blackmail, or, socialism and a habitable planet, and you're struggling with that choice?! Dafuq is wrong you?

The prediction was always that when boomers aged, they would force massive improvements to health care and elder services. Instead, the rich ones access private care, and the rest seem resigned to humiliating decline at the hands of rapacious capitalism.

The line is always “if you care about trans people and people of colour you’ll vote Labour to stop reform” but Labour have done reform policy and stance to those groups. It’s an absolutely hilariously bad argument.

It's good practice to lead with what you are doing rather than with what others aren't. Share what you are doing and invite others to join you.

We’ve broken down how PFI were sold as a clever way to fund hospitals… and why they ended up costing the public billions more than they should have.
