My daughter (not trans) uses her phone at school to study, revise in break times, text me when she feels unwell and the school won't do anything (she has a congenital spine condition), & watch videos in break time when she feels lonely. We manage online activity by talking about it with her.

You've lost me. Why is that a bad thing? It is the 101 of 'even people on a good wage can't afford to not skimp'.

That the righties will do these things isn't surprising. That everyone caves is. Endlessly frustrating.

There are awful things happening, but the fact that Reform has cancelled Christmas is such a delicious irony.

We don't have a free press, we have a client press.

The arrogance of it is infuriating.

Huge congratulations from the UK.

Trust the BBC to take our collective joy and try and suffocate us with a pillow.

Completely agree. We all need more courage.

So his will affect my freelance work. Currently it is enough to say I'm registered for self-employed taxes.

Disgusting and an absolute betrayal of everything people fought for in WW2 (which you people never believed in anyway).

Agree it'll have a massive impact, but perhaps more complex. On the one hand it made my freelance copywriting business a bit of a nightmare for a while; on the other, I'm getting requests and new clients again, because AI can't write (or it can, but it just sounds very glib and is often wrong).

I am so deeply shocked that the thing could have passed had a few Labour MPs not rebelled and @theguardian.com not reported on it. Total moral abdication on the part of @teamlabouruk.bsky.social to try and get MPs to abstain. They are destroying the Labour Party.
