we used to build household shrines to Going On The Computer and it's no coincidence that as we abandoned these we started straying further from god's light

Day in, day out, I speak to ordinary people who are organising to welcome the asylum seekers accommodated in their towns.

They befriend, support them, reach out to them as fellow human beings.

That's the Britain I know, the one I see around me & we never get told about on TV.

Teaching STEM without teaching the Humanities is how you get Spider-Man villians. Teaching Theater without teaching the Humanities is how you get Batman villians.

This made me laugh. And then I sat and thought about it. This is correct.

The Israeli government has told so many lies since Oct. 7.

Du Bois on what these assholes were really like

I've worked on BBC documentaries - but UK visa rules mean I can't join my wife Zara, 36, says her mental health has been in a 'massive decline' due to separation from husband

Zara, an NHS worker and RFUK member spoke about her love story with Gayan and about the countless ways in which the Government prevents UK citizens being in their own country with their loved ones.

No government should dictate which citizens are worthy of family life.

Seven ways the government's plan could change the NHS The BBC looks at what the government's 10-year NHS plan could mean in practice.

www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Section of a BBC article “Seven ways Starmer's plan could change the NHS” Obesity ‘moonshot’ The plans include what the government is calling an "ambitious moonshot", aiming to "end the obesity epidemic". There will be "digital NHS points" for people who improve their diet or meet exercise goals. It's modelled on a Singapore scheme where citizens who walk more, buy healthier foods or go to health screenings can earn points to exchange for e-vouchers to use in supermarkets and restaurants. Athletics elder statesman, Sir Brendan Foster, will spearhead a campaign to get millions walking or running regularly. Access to NHS weight loss services and treatments, including medications such as Wegovy and Mounjaro, will be expanded. But planned legislation to ban some supermarket promotions of unhealthy food, including buy-one-get-one-free offers, might be dropped in favour of "smarter regulation, focused on outcomes".

Any government that funds genocide, cuts benefits for disabled ppl, & legislates trans ppl out of existence does not give a FUCK about ppl being healthy.

You know what’s actually good for ppl’s health?

Not having bombs dropped on them!

Anyway, here’s to my next stipend for “promoting obesity.” 🥂

British woman laments Brexit rules that would stop her Italian husband moving to UK Sarah Douglas says salary requirement means her husband would be ineligible for family visa to join her and their children

Grateful to Sarah for speaking @theguardian.com about the impacts of the UK's spouse visa rules. Whilst Brexit made the situation worse, the main issue was always there:
unless you are rich, you can't live in the UK with your loved ones, even if you are British.

The biggest change in reproductive rights in Britain in half a century has just passed the Commons.

MPs have voted 379-137 to decriminalise abortion, preventing women from being prosecuted for terminating a pregnancy after 24 weeks.

In limbo: families hoping for change to UK income rules for spousal visas Photographer Frankie Mills documents the lives of nine families whose stories illustrate the human cost of this policy threshold

We're moved by the stunning photo essay by Frankie MIlls which powerfully demonstrates the pain couples and families in our community and across the UK suffer at the hand of the cruel and hostile UK family migration system.

Today is a pivotal day for bi-national couples and families: for the first time people on the spouse/partner visa route were listened to by a Committee that wanted to learn what life is really like when you want to live in the UK and were moved by what we read in the report #FamiliesBelongTogether🧵

This country's bizarre, evidence-free, sadistic, and self-defeating obsession with high-stakes terminal exams has never made a shred of sense to me or to anyone who knows anything about pedagogy. Why are we still having to ask this question? The answer is clear. www.theguardian.com/education/20...
