Today's Times. The govt's new visa changes have caused an 83% fall in visas granted to health & care workers. We have: 152k social care vacancies 121k NHS vacancies. This is catastrophic for our NHS & care sectors. The govt is putting anti-immigrant populism above care.

Trump says he wants to let states “monitor women's pregnancies so they can know if they've gotten an abortion”
This is not a drill. He’s pledging it loudly and proudly. If you’re still voting for Trump after all of this, be clear: you’re voting for fascism and the end of American democracy as we know it. That’s not hyperbole - that’s simply paying attention to his own promises and plans:

C’mon Julie, you can do better than this. Just like you, Julie Bindel rehashes the same old gripes about me whenever I’m trending, but at least she has the decency to do in different publications.

Disabled people having vouchers instead of cash benefits buys into the idea we are scroungers who can’t be trusted not to spend the cash on fags and booze. When the Tories get their arse handed to them at the election, I’m spending my PIP on fucking champagne.
