It’s 30 June….the ME Delivery Plan is a no-show. It’s unacceptable.
#pwME have been left in darkness for too long. I’m with @HelenMorganLibDem.bsky.social:
‘The government must think again, publish the plan without delay, and allocate it the resources it needs to make a real difference.’

Pundits are framing the welfare bill chaos as Downing Street’s failure to communicate the moral case for cuts - but there is no moral case. That’s the problem. These plans are staggering assaults on support that won’t help disabled people into work. No one can sell that.

The mind-over-matter approach to #MECFS has been debunked for years, but a cadre of psych devotees in the UK persist in peddling evidence-free miracle cures
Pure and utter pseudoscience

Myalgic encephalomyelitis/chronic fatigue syndrome (ME/CFS) affects around 250 000 people in the UK.
Reframing beliefs about illness, along with specialist rehabilitation, can help recovery in people with severe ME/CFS, @paulgarnerwoof.bsky.social and colleagues

Trump administration’s attack on university research accelerates
With billions in grants put on hold, targeted universities will see research crippled.

The Rest is Politics podcast posted a questions request earlier today and I asked for their take on the ME Delivery Plan not being funded. It would be great if anyone else who has the energy could ask too. This would give it a fighting chance of being included in the podcast! @thereforme.bsky.social

If Labour approves the Rosebank oil field, it would be the final straw for many of its green-minded voters. It might appease corporate power for a moment, but in doing so it will lose far more than it gains.
The government seems to be on a self-destructive streak. Now's the time to rethink.

We should never say: "Antidepressants are effective 'treatments' for mental 'illness'," as this is pure ideology.
At most, we should rather say: "Antidepressants alter states of mind & body in ways that may or may not be experienced as useful by the individual in question".
