I did a version of this for my first book launch and I have no regrets

The View From Down Here 'A vital call to arms that demands we confront ableism at every level of society.' Sophie Morgan'I have never related to a book more. Disabled or not, you must read it!' Rosie Jones'A sharp, funny, an...

It's time for that to change. It's time for us to tackle ableism and sexism together

Disabled women exist and we need you to fight with us

Even though the intertwining of ableism and sexism means that disabled women have worse outcomes financially, medically, socially, politically and personally than nondisabled women and disabled men, we're left out of the disability and feminist movements

Happy International Women's Day!

I wrote my book, The View From Down Here, about the specific experience of being a disabled woman because so often our existence is seen as a contradiction

Also feels like laying the groundwork for limiting which citizens can vote aka fascism

Racism racism racism

Thank you for sharing!

Most pollsters will now show you Labour losing more to the left than right.

These are not, despite what some say, ‘metro libs’ in safe seats - they’re spread out in electoral battlegrounds all over the country. Labour’s 2024 victory was partly built on them, esp in Blue Wall.

Do I have enough jobs?

Baffled by the war hunger on Newsnight from both Gillian Keegan and, seemingly, the journalists

An incoming Labour Prime Minister’s own vote share falling by 17% in a London seat during a landslide win is actually totally normal

I learned this when I started Every Body Queer

Emails and begging people to please let us know you're coming

Arranging social care can be The chair of the independent commission on adult social care also says the care system relies on the exploitation of its workforce.

every single word of this is true but I cannot fathom the government having the guts to do what's needed aka nationalise the service and give it an extra £10bn

I cannot use my hands well enough to feed, wash or dress myself but at secondary school I decided to learn - and was taught - to play the drum kit

I fear these people have simply never (knowingly) met a queer person, which.... says some things

between this and the new The Devil Wears Prada, a good few months for Lucy's eclectic taste in culture

finally something to look forward to

You know what would be nice? If companies all wanted invoices in the exact same format from freelancers.
Even nicer? Not making freelancers fill out multi page supplier details forms.

As the laid off Middle East News Editor, I concur. Management eliminated the positions of every single staff correspondent and bureau chief in the Middle East.

regular reminder that m***n is a slur against people with learning disabilities. stop using it for fascists

A reminder: Matt Goodwin lost heavily in spite of an almost total lack of tactical voting, not because of it.

The combined Green/Labour vote was 66%, versus 28.7% for Reform.

If Labour and the Greens split the vote 50/50 – a total coordination fail – he'd have finished third, not second.

I am immensely disappointed that the Government has today scrapped permanent refugee status. Refugees will now face reviews every 30 months and be forced to return if their country is deemed 'safe'.

We know that countries listed as 'safe' aren't safe for everybody, particularly LGBTQ+ refugees.

Anyone gonna ask Farage about being mates with Trump today?

Well, no, they’re not just as wrong. The bigger error is not seeing that “trying to win over voters from a party on the opposite end of the spectrum, whose values your core voters oppose” is not same as “chasing voters from party on same side ideologically whose values your core voters like.”

UK ‘took far too long’ to let US use its airbases to attack Iran, Trump says US president also ‘very disappointed’ in Keir Starmer over UK government’s deal to hand Chagos Islands to Mauritius

Bend the knee and he’ll cut off your head.

Just seen an AI generated image making it look like Trump has Downs syndrome

The ableism on the left is truly off the charts

Fwiw I don't think someone with Downs has ever started a war on a whim

This is just straight up racist

Reform win a seat: The true Volk have spoken and we all must listen.

Greens win a seat: Early reports that Muslims may have ‘voted’ (an ancient Islamic practice designed to steal elections). How severely should the franchise be limited in response?

If I made a very successful podcast that relies on my expertise I simply would not advertise generative AI

Starmer really does do everything possible to back away from a popular position
