The thing is that achieving mental *health* for the majority of people requires us all realising that we're being made sick by our societies. Psychotherapy isn't funded because it foments revolution when done well. CBT teaches you to shut up and stop bothering the grown-ups.

Trans women to be barred from main Labour women’s conference in 2026 All delegates will be able to attend fringe programme as party tries to find compromise while complying with supreme court ruling on gender Trans women will be barred from the main part of Labour’s women’s conference next year, the party has said, with entrance to the main conference hall and voting rights denied. All delegates will be allowed to attend a fringe programme, under the party’s plans, as Labour seeks to find a compromise position it believes will comply with the supreme court’s ruling on gender – while also being inclusive to trans delegates.

You'd think that a country presenting itself as a mature democracy would have some sort of system in place to prevent outside interference, right?

Right?

Tweet from Keir Starmer promoting Great British Energy's benefits followed by news of a 2% energy price rise shortly after.

Imagine being so out of touch you don't even know folks energy bills have shot up again.

They keep talking about unfairness. But you too can hire a brand new car. Eg: Ford Kuga 2.5, on Motability costs £1400-£7000 upfront and £77.05 per week. Auto trader deal, £4100 upfront and £79 per week. Main diff is without Motability you are responsible for your insurance.

Politicians claim - “Millions of people claiming disability benefits for ADHD and getting free cars”
Reality - 190,000 people claim DLA for ADHD and may be eligible for a Motability car, that costs £77.05 per week (the mobility element of PiP/DLA/ADP which is a non-means tested benefit).

Former Brexit Party MEP denies taking payment from pro-Russian campaign A prominent former MEP for Nigel Farage's old party denies taking bribes in a pro-Russian campaign.

The stench of sleaze grows ever stronger around Farage and his associates. Piling on the hypocrisy, former Brexit MEP David Coburn lives in France.

Nobody wants to come to our shitty country.

hey remember when you all spent 18 months starving poor kids and punishing any labour politician who rebelled against it?

also: politicians should not have 'moral missions'.

Restoring something that should not have been taken away... blocking a cruelty- is NOT giving something. The two child cap should have been obliterated AS SOON AS Labour took power. It was a cruelty that they allowed it to continue.

UK's Motability scheme no longer includes premium brands such as Audi, BMW and Mercedes | Autocar Announcement comes just weeks after chancellor Rachel Reeves vowed to axe luxury models from the programme

Rachel Reeves has removed Audi, BMW, Mercedes from the motability scheme because disabled people aren’t allowed nice things ignoring the better resale values and the fact cars like the Audi A1 and BMW 1-series are hardly limos www.autocar.co.uk/car-news/con...

Motability costs £1 billion

Both are valuable to the folk who get them, and yet we save our pitchforks and torches for disabled people

Rachel Reeves says she’s ending “Motability tax breaks”.
Sounds like she’s cracking down on luxury cars, right?

That’s not what’s happening.

These changes raise costs for all disabled people on the scheme, including those with the cheapest cars.

Here’s how. 👇🧵
