Not likely from a terrorist state founded on a genocide. Why would anyone expect better from the US?

‘I’m resuscitating babies but drowning in debt’: Midwives with £80,000 student loans Student loan debt, along with other financial pressures, are adding to a worsening shortage of midwives in the UK

‘I’m resuscitating babies but drowning in debt’: Midwives with £80,000 student loans

Louie Horne, head of nursing UNISON: “Student midwives are training for clinically demanding roles, yet many are graduating with significant debt since the NHS bursary was scrapped."

They're also trying to claim she was being arrested when the police gave her a lift away.
Rightwinger claims don't have much connection to reality.

Seems appropriate to plug this here.

Transphobes attack Green Party supporters right in front of newly elected MP Hannah Spencer.

As mentioned, blockers first was for a long time a MANDATORY part of the medical pathway, INCLUDING in the NHS.

They excluded every study looking at young people who took HRT, if they first had experience on blockers.

First of all they decided that a 16 & 17 year old taking HRT without prior time on blockers is COMPLETELY different from taking HRT without prior time on blockers.

Then they decided to exclude from consideration every study that focused on young people who went first to blockers before HRT.

BUT the NHS came up with a clever trick to stop these 16 & 17 year olds from accessing (safe, beneficial, low risk, well evidenced) HRT.

They looked at the evidence in a VERY specific way.

Accordingly, the vast majority of past clinical studies, followed young people who first went on blockers, then to HRT.

But, in the UK, our government and NHS have criminalised access to blockers.

They are only accessible through a trial, that is only open to under 16s.

The vast majority of trans youth, in past clinical studies, had blockers first, and then HRT.

This stepped path was mandatory in the UK. It was literally not possible to go straight to HRT under the age of 18.

Yesterday the NHS banned all under 18 prescriptions of HRT for trans young people.

This ban was justified by 10 new studies that largely stated NO EVIDENCE for under 18s HRT exists.

The study underpinning this played one particular trick.

Let's briefly look at how the NHS rigged the game 1/5

“All of the same arguments, the same talking points, the same propaganda to justify the same mass casualty war.”

Is there a clear explanation of why this is nothing to do with Ofcom, and why ministers think it is fine?

Carol Vorderman criticises Labour for wasting their tactical vote victory, slams Nigel Farage, and praises the Greens's Hannah Spencer

Part 1/2

If they think they can bring even a drop of the Labour Party’s transphobia with them and into the @greenparty.org.uk, they should think again

I - and many other active members - will do everything we can to ensure their time in the party is very short-lived

That’s a promise

Change. Wales VOTE PLAID! Scotland VOTE SNP! England VOTE GREEN!

Let’s do this!

We’re remembering the life of a giant in the movement for Palestinian freedom, Walid Khalidi, who passed away at age 100 on Sunday. He was the Honorary President and one of the founders of @palestinestudies.bsky.social

Contrary to what people will tell you the US has now spent about $45bn on their war against Iran.

Could have housed every single homeless person in the USA.

But there are no vast profits from that.

I kind of like fact that Greens are properly Greens, driven by core values rather than ambition. I don’t know who they should accept - if anyone. Definitely not anyone who has ever taken money from lobbyists or worked for lobbyists or who has even been in same room as Labour Friends of Israel.

Labour MP's are apparently considering defecting to the Green Party.

Is that a good thing?

And who would the Green Party want?

Bombs falling on Iran will not bring democracy. They will only endanger the brave Iranians who have already risked their lives protesting for freedom.

We must not repeat the mistakes of Iraq and Afghanistan by blindly following Donald Trump’s America into another dangerous war.

Best for infrastructure like energy to be funded from the public purse than from private corps that waste part of it to profits, and have no democratic input into their price setting.

Our elites brought us Iraq, Afghanistan, Libya and Gaza.

At what point do we ask if they are a death cult?

I'll take the loan to the Bank of England every time, then we can evaluate whether we listen to the myth of needing to tax afterwards or not.
