We deserve a democracy that represents usβ not billionaire donors, foreign governments, tax dodgers and shadowy elites.
The govtβs new Elections Bill is supposed to clean up big money in politics. But as it stands its not strong enough.

Not just a loser.
But a bad loser.
Very sad to hear of the passing of Rob Grant, co-creator of the brilliant #RedDwarf. My teenage daughter recently watched all 74 episodes with me (not all at once) and loved them all.

Elizabeth Cotton joins us on the Mad in America #podcast for part 2 of our discussion in which she traces how digital therapy can block the very thing people come for: a stable, human relationship that can hold fear, dependency, and ambivalence.

Palantir, a US spy-tech firm, has been given access to millions of NHS patient records.
Its founder has said the NHS should be 'ripped up'.
Join me in calling on the government to end the dangerous Palantir contract.

What Do Psych Survivors Want Instead of Psychiatric Coercion?
By Laura LΓ³pez-Aybar
One does not simply forget the dehumanization of coercion in psychiatric practices.
It is traumatic and detrimental to recovery. How is another distressing experience therapeutic?

Jodie delivering her 73k-strong petition to No 10 Downing Street
Today, we stood with Jodie to deliver a 73k-strong petition to No 10 calling for more action.
Today is a start, but it is not 'job done'.
Help us keep up the momentum to #StopImageBasedAbuse

Non-consensual sexually explicit deepfakes are a form of image-based sexual abuse. While the Grok scandal dominated the headlines, the issue is much bigger than one platform alone.
While the new criminal offence is welcome, much more needs to be done to prevent this abuse from happening in the first place. Thatβs why today weβre delivering our 73,000-strong petition to Downing Street calling for the government to go much further.
Weβre calling for: Civil routes to justice including takedown orders requiring images to be removed from online platforms and perpetratorsβ devices. Relationships and sex education thatβs fit for young peopleβs lived realities in the digital age. Funding for specialist services that provide survivors with life-saving advocacy and support.
We need to prevent abuse rather than waiting until harm is done. This means:
β
Proper regulation of the tech companies that promote and profit from abuse
β
Education fit for our lives in the digital age
β
Funding for specialist services that advocate for and support survivors
Stop image-based abuse
Over the last 18 months, survivor and campaigner Jodie*, the End Violence Against Women Coalition, #NotYourPorn, Professor Clare McGlynn and Glamour UK have campaigned for action to stop deepfake abuse. Today, a new law comes into force making it illegal.
Today following months of campaigning by survivor
Jodie, @evawuk.bsky.social, #NotYourPorn, @claremcglynn.bsky.social and @glamouruk.bsky.social, a new law comes into force criminalising deepfake abuse.
This is a welcome and long-overdue step for survivors, but criminalisation alone is not enough.

We have ethical approval from Sheffield U. We need people with a wide a range of political beliefs, but we don't need a representative sample at this stage (that will come later).
Please invite friends to take it. I will provide a more detailed explanation later.

It was great that BBC radio 4 covered the harmful effects of finasteride, including persistent sexual dysfunction. More attention is needed to the fact that SSRIs and other antidepressants cause similar, potentially devastating effects. www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/...
