Ramming through assisted suicide and disability benefit cuts in the space of 2 weeks. Hard to believe how little this government values disabled people.

Starting to think it could be punishment for the VG fiasco.

If I wanted Welsh Labour to lose next year, I'd keep doing exactly what UK Labour are doing.

That hairline at 22 is a punishment

The refereeing of both cymru games this week has been awful. Why does the women's game not have VAR when the men's does ?

This country is incredibly weird for how much it hates young people

It's almost like working class people want a centre-left party, not what Labour has become

You’re telling me that right wing voters that Labour was trying to appeal to voted for a right wing party anyway and left wing voters decided not to vote for Labour because they’re too right wing now? Who could have possibly predicted this.

the gordon brown 'bigotted woman' incident broke the brains of labour centrists so completely that 15 years later she is literally the only voter they can conceive of trying to appeal to

Judgement day X only having 28k attendance shows how much damage the WRU has done to the game. Lowest ever attendance at the Pricipality. Over 10k less than the last time it was here. Less than half of the peak attendance.

We need to stop diagnosing each other with autism and ADHD As Bella Ramsey reveals their autism diagnosis came after a ‘The Last Of Us’ crew member spotted the signs, Helen Coffey questions why we’ve become so emboldened to pronounce neurodivergence in others

The author had half a point over bad information online, but the article as a whole has such a medicalised anti-neurodivergent vibe
www.independent.co.uk/life-style/b...

This is one of the most ill-informed pieces about autism/ADHD I have read, which says something, and the lack of options for diagnosis people have. It shouldn't have been run once, let alone twice. Absolute lack of engagement with the reality faced by many neurodivergent individuals.

NPC: hello it is i, your best friend wolfgang amadeus mozart! i made you this crossbow

Activists prevent eviction of refugee family from their temporary home in Cardiff Martin Shipton An Ethiopian family of four was saved from being evicted out of their temporary accommodation by an activist group that confronted council officials and police. The mother and father an...

When someone is housed, a local authority evicting them flys the the face of the "prevention" approach they all claim to be subscribed to.

There was obviously more that Cardiff council could have done (as always), how it got this far needs to be questioned.

Today is the day

#adolescence

Young people are spending longer in temporary accommodation in Wales, risking their long-term physical and emotional well-being. More needs to be done to identify young people at risk early and intervene to prevent homelessness.

We talked about the realities of youth homelessness in Wales and my recent report Nowhere For Them To Go, which highlights just some of the isssue with the youth homelessnesssystem in Wales. She's gone on to achieve some really remarkable things, and I was glad to be able to play a small part.

Homelessness: I sat my GCSEs while living in a hotel temporarily Mia and her siblings lived in temporary accommodation for 18 months after a no fault eviction.

I recently spoke with Mia from the BBC Wales News young reporters scheme about her experience of homelessness and how we can do more to support young people in her situation.

Maybe the worst thing about today's radical, unprecedented cuts to PIP and UC health, at least from a policy-making perspective...

These savings won't even be achieved. At best they'll be displaced onto NHS or reduced tax from anti-growth impact of declining public services quality

If he believes this then he should be arguing against cutting benefits and spending on services. Fairly obviously.

The thing about the govt is that it wants change, but without upsetting capitalists - hence reforms to local govt & attacks on the civil service & disabled whist not recognizing that our sclerotic productivity growth might be the fault of bosses, rentiers & vested interests.

They aren't social Democrats anymore

I get it, so it's not a UK thing.

One time, I heard him give a speech where he said his fight against the EU was as brace as "battle of Britain fighter pilot". When I quoted him on Twitter, he called me a liar. I now see I confused Spitfires with MIGs
