That any of us have to care about the messy breakup of these two massive narcissists — and that they both individually wield such massive power — is an indictment of our political system and further proves the poisonous influence of Big Money on our democracy.

In light of the Supreme Court’s ruling on the definition of woman in the Equality Act 2010, we send our support and solidarity to trans and intersex women across the UK. Clean Break is for all women, including trans and intersex women. We take an intersectional approach to understanding identity and know that womanhood is not a monolith. We acknowledge the specific experiences of discrimination and oppression that trans women, particularly Black trans women, face in wider society and in the sectors we work in. Whilst the impact of this ruling remains uncertain, we want to be clear that our services and who we serve will not be changing. Trans inclusivity will continue to be upheld as we work towards a world where all women are free to realise their full potential.

For more information about Clean Break's trans inclusion policy, please visit our website: cleanbreak.org.uk/policies

Dear UK government, Let's be clear: our mental health is getting worse, and cutting benefits won’t help. You claim mental health is being “overdiagnosed”, but where’s the evidence? The reality is that our environment affects our wellbeing - pandemics, the cost of living crisis, political unrest and ongoing concerns around climate change are all taking their toll. But when people seek help, they face months, or even years, of waiting. Rhetoric like this is dangerous. It reinforces stigma and stops people getting support. If you’re serious about change, listen to those affected. We can turn this crisis around - but only if the government works with us, not against us. We look forward to hearing from you, Mind

Where's the evidence that mental health is being "overdiagnosed"?
