![His death sparked national outrage after it emerged his father had first complained about the mould in 2017 and health experts warned the landlord of the risk to Awaab. RBH did nothing to fix the problem. He died on 21 December 2020 at the Royal Oldham hospital from “a severe respiratory condition due to prolonged exposure to mould in his home”, the coroner ruled. The pathologist had found fungus in his blood and lungs.
It then emerged other homes on the estate were in an even worse state and staff at RBH had believed mould was “acceptable” and that “most of [the] residents were refugees and they are lucky they have [a] roof over head”.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:pimju54evsxkeecwdcdb32uy/bafkreibg3bzmitjsmioofgukqv2zbb5ysvet4yrftqx23vhoxy5wrwkfke@jpeg)

There always seems to be money for cruelty, doesn’t there…
Labour's anti-asylum policies are already fundamentally inhumane and discriminatory. Applying them retrospectively is pure cruelty though. It serves absolutely no purpose. Meanwhile it will increase the costs and bureaucracy of an already dysfunctional Home Office.

Performative cruelty to appeal to voters who won’t vote for you anyway is just another level of moral decrepitude

Also any MPs who want their claims to give a shit about trans people to be taken seriously, you could do worse than to stand up in Parliament and directly ask the government about this.
Any journos or other people with access to streeting
Ask him why he thinks it's ok to continue asking a group who think blocking childline access, refusing rape crisis counselling, putting chilli sauce in make up and promoting DIY conversion therapy guides for their thoughts on trans healthcare.

It wasn’t a failure if you acknowledge that cutting government spending wasn’t the goal
Difficult to overstate how profound a failure DOGE was. Spending in FY2025 was not only than in FY2024 – but higher than it was projected to be when Trump first took office.*
The little bit of spending DOGE cut has already killed hundreds of thousands and will eventually lead to millions of deaths.

I don’t think Danny Kruger is being taken seriously enough - this is far more extreme than anything the Conservatives were allowed to get away with. He is effectively saying that being anti-racist and being trans are contrary to British national identity and his party is leading the polls.
Reform are so dangerous and this headline doesn’t do it justice. I also think a piece like this should start with the politician‘s core views just to emphasise the urgency.

He's a racist now which would seem to be the more pressing issue.
Twenty people allege he has a racist past. He denies it. Who’s telling the truth about Farage’s schooldays?
