I’ve been campaigning for people with the label of Personality Disorder for over 10 years. A diagnosis that harms people. I’m on the project board for NCISH and volunteer at Savte … I’m mainly retired

Dr. Jane Goodall filmed an interview with Netflix in March 2025 that she understood would only be released after her death.

BREAKING

Dr. Jane Goodall has died. She was 91.

It is impossible to sum up the impact she has had on our world and on science in a social media post.

She lived a long and incredible life but I am devastated.

I keep thinking about what Michael Wolff said in his book about Giuliani: that once you lose the respect of people you always feared had disdain for you, you can really go to town on being what you previously thought of as your worst self, really roll in the shit and gulp it down smiling and free

The Universal Credit Bill has passed.

The Motion of Regret did not.

I am heartbroken.

We got powerful truths spoken in the Lords which may help later in legal and public fights.

But....

What is this thing called Labour. Not something I morally recognise

‘As women we are expected to not complain too much, ‘put up and shut up’ and if we do need help, ask for it ‘appropriately’ which doesn’t include harming ourselves, even though our needs often go unnoticed anyway.’
Always to the point and so right @suzypuss.bsky.social

Not sure this is very ethical or sensible but to say you can ignore your care team and look for a job and they work into the community and EIS seems very wrong.
Pressuring people into work ??? !!!

I guess this is the end for everyone who wants to use this site anonymously for their own safety. My advice is to join Mastodon, no one cares who you are over there as long as you’re funny

GPs told to stop handing out sick notes and start sending people to job coaches and gyms GPs will be ordered to stop handing out millions of “sick notes” that sign people off work and instead send them to job coaches or secure gym memberships.

This is dystopian, & could lead to a situation where it’s almost impossible to get time off work if you’re seriously unwell & almost impossible to get disability benefits in the first place.

I’m ashamed to live in a country that just passed a welfare bill condemning hundreds of thousands to deeper poverty and despair.

I’m ashamed of a Labour government that refused to work WITH disabled people to build a benefits system based on dignity, not punishment.
