NHS could cease to function under Labour’s new visa rules, say nurses
Exclusive: Royal College of Nursing says plan to tighten rules for foreign workers is ‘pandering’ to Reform UK
EXCLUSIVE: Over 800 NHS workers have signed our letter with Medact, saying the “already strained NHS would crumble under the pressure” of Reform’s proposal to scrap Indefinite Leave to Remain and Labour’s planned restrictions on migrant workers.

Convince me that this is any different from what Reform proposed on Monday. Okay so they’re not going to deport people but this will make it impossible for millions of people to ever become citizens of this country.

UK to start small boats returns to France ‘within days’ after EU gives green light
Some asylum seekers will be sent back across Channel for first time under treaty agreed with French president
Let me get this straight: the UK will accept a person from France who hasn’t made a small boat crossing if they can be swapped with someone in the UK who has made a small boat crossing. So someone has to make a crossing if anyone is to get in without a crossing www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2025...

JK Rowling tweeting got a boycott of M&S, stretching facts to the breaking point, and making the world a worse place for absolutely everyone.
The employee asked the girl and her mother if they needed help shopping. That’s it. That’s all. The misinformation, the insinuations (because the facts are inconveniently benign) are EXACTLY what was done to lesbians in the 80s. This is the product of hate and fear, not reality.

Surreal is the right word.
Two completely indistinguishable positions on small boats from a Tory & a Labour MP on Newsnight yesterday.
Neither one of them capable of making a case that stands up to the slightest logical pushback. Pathetic.

At midnight, Palestine Action will be proscribed under the Terrorism Act.
Their real “crime”? Exposing the UK’s role in arming Israel’s genocide.
This is a dark day for our democracy.
Criminalising non-violent resistance won’t silence the truth.

This is the kind of mess you expect from a Major-style government that's lost its majority and is dying on its arse.
It's not about the theatre of it. It's just a terrible, indefensible way to go about making policy. And it has terrified thousands of disabled people in the process.

The government's welfare legislation is falling apart in real time. Now the four-point rule is being axed from the legislation. The one remaining big cut in the Bill is the slashing of Universal Credit health payments by 40% for new claimants

Responding to 100+ Labour rebels by removing the whip from them and in turn jeopardising the huge majority you won less than a year ago - all because they don’t want you to take money from disabled people - sounds like a great political strategy for a party that’s supposed to be centre left

All three formats of the book are illustrated: e-book, hardback, audiobook.
Fuck Nigel Farage. Fuck disability registers, “overdiagnosis”, pity porn, and so-called bloated benefit bills.
Disabled people have full, rich lives and add enormous value to the country. It is time for a new narrative.

There will be chaos at the borders, but perhaps even more worryingly, we at @praxisprojects.bsky.social are really concerned that people’s ability to exercise their basic rights (rent a home, get a job, access healthcare) are *already* being affected by this administrative incompetence

Reminder that disabled people have no obligation to consume assisted dying media. You don’t have to read posts about how someone would kill themselves if they were like you. You have no duty to be polite when they say we cost too much. Your mental health matters. Your life does too.
