"diagnosed as transexual" ... really, Guardian? 🤬
www.theguardian.com/society/2025...
I am stunned by the straight-faced hypocrisy of Iraelis' horrfied reactions to receiving return fire.
It's almost like bombing civilians and blowing up hospitals (and tank-shelling food aid lines) is maybe a bad thing?
So, to protect women from men from having to wear make-up and a dress to gain entrance to a womens bathroom by posing as a trans woman (which never happened), now a guy can just walk in with beard & six-pack claiming to be a trans man.
Well played, UK bigots. 😡

My Labour MP @fredthomasuk.bsky.social has come out and said Brexit is “an almost unmitigated disaster”. I would delete the “almost” but it’s good to see an MP being honest, even if he backs the Labour manifesto.

Thank you. 💔
26.03.2025 15:11 — 👍 1 🔁 0 💬 0 📌 0Quote from Tom Pollard, head of social policy: Today’s assessment confirms that ill and disabled people will see cuts to benefits amounting to around £6.5bn a year by 2029-30. Yet the Department for Work and Pensions and the Office for Budget Responsibility between them have not yet been able to forecast any impact on employment outcomes. The government’s narrative to justify benefit cuts for ill and disabled people has completely fallen apart – it is clearer than ever that the real driver has been pressure to meet an arbitrary savings target.
This government's attempt to justify cutting benefits has completely fallen apart. They're slashing support for ill and disabled people to meet their arbitrary fiscal rules.
@pollardtom.bsky.social reacts to the cuts announced in the spring statement
“The Chancellor said today that she would not do anything to put household finances in danger, yet the government’s own assessment shows their cuts to... benefits risk pushing 250,000 people into poverty, including 50,000 children," says the Chief Exec of the Joseph Rowntree Foundation
26.03.2025 14:33 — 👍 191 🔁 79 💬 9 📌 8Let this sink in - Rachel Reeves and Keir Starmer are choosing to push 50,000 children into poverty - but won't ask multi-millionaires and billionaires to pay a little bit more tax.
Absolutely sickening.
Government’s own impact assessment of its £5 billion cuts to benefits:
an extra quarter of a million people including 50,000 children will be in relative poverty by 2029/30
Once again - this is not what millions of us voted for.
We wanted better and those most in need NEEDED better and if labour don't understand how bad all of this looks then they're in deep and dire straits
This is shocking. Governments impact assessment estimates
* 3.2 million families lose an average of £1,720 a year
* PIP claimants who are no longer eligible will lose an average of £4,200
* 50,000 more children will be pushed into relative poverty

We will not stay silent as benefits are cut, public services are slashed, & our rights are eroded. If you want to join us in the fight, you're in the right place!

I never thought I would say this, but @teamlabouruk.bsky.social have now lost me forever. Not by making these welfare cuts: if they are a terrible necessity, then that's one thing.
Labour have lost me by making these cuts without shame or apology and trying to justify them as moral and beneficial.
Just a reminder, cutting Personal Independence Payments (the clue's in the name) will make disabled people less able to work, not encourage them into work.
This will also leave the disabled unable to access health provision and increase the cost associated with late intervention and home treatment.
It's just a shame that it's being funded by screwing over disabled Labour voters like me.

So obviously, Labour decided NOT to have a 2% wealth tax on this obscene, unspendable hoarding. More poverty for 6.9m disabled Britons is their solution.

Wait, what's FADFO? A sneaky attempt to coin a neologism & a response to the memes you see in the emojis: hotdog suit guy, leopards eating faces party, and the FAFO graph. What happens when you F#$% Around but you Don't Find Out? 1/n

The Guardian offers another anti-trans screed. No citations, no evidence, not even a by-line. How is this allowed?
"official data sources have been corrupted by gender ideology"
"ideologically captured institutions"
😠😠😠

Q. What is the point of a Labour government that leaves everyone poorer, but especially the poorest?
A. Nothing.
www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2025...
"This is going to be remembered in the same way as the poll tax for Margaret Thatcher and tuition fees for Nick Clegg. Those caused riots. This won’t, but demonising disabled people will not be forgiven."
