This is the Labour Party implementing conversion therapy in the NHS for trans kids.
In complete contradiction of its manifesto promise to ban it.

And still no clarification on what this means for the move-on process for newly recognised refugees (who won't be able to set up a UKVI account themselves to access their eVisa).

Disabled people have rights. We matter even if unable to work. We are not fraudulent for being chronically ill. We are not the cause of the systemic inequality in this country.
Where are the questions? Why go after benefit when fraud so low? Why not tax wealth? Why attack us?

Breaking: Israeli aircraft struck the third floor of Kamal Adwan Hospital, sparking a fire that destroyed the storage of medicine and medical supplies, which had arrived from the World Health Organization just five days ago.
Update Thread: Detention of Dr Mohammed Obeid and several medical staff from Kamal Adwan Hospital, North #Gaza
Confirmation that Dr Mohammed Obeid, an MSF orthopedic surgeon, has been detained by Israeli forces along with several medical staff from Kamal Adwan hospital.
Being physically & psychologically able to work doesn't make you any better or more worthy than those who can't.
It just means that you're fortunate and privileged not to be too unwell to work (at the moment).
All I heard yesterday was “budge it…budge it…budge it”
Which confused me greatly given I wasn’t even lying in anyone’s way (for a change!)
What’s a dog to do?!
What’s utterly terrifying about this:
1) Lutnick pushing the “vaccines cause autism” bullshit that was discredited twenty years ago; and
2) His RFK Jr. argument boils down to, “he has his conclusion, just give him the data so he can massage it to look like he needs it to look…

Not announced in the Budget - a freeze in local housing allowance so people on benefits will get less of their rent paid and a freeze in benefit cap so some people especially those with children will get no increase in their benefits in April which will spread child poverty.
Instead of adding the bad news about these freezes to the budget speech statement of the good news about reducing debt deductions, they were slipped out at the end of a written answer by work and pensions Sec Liz Kendall bit.ly/4e8AMIE

Changing facilities in NHS are inadequate, but not in the way the so called "Darlington Five" would have you believe.
They sound like unpleasant people to even work with
💥The IDF is remaining in Jabalia, in the northern Gaza Strip, due to Netanyahu government pressure to prevent the return of residents to their homes– which, at the end of a military operation, is prohibited under international law. Dramatic reporting from @yanivkub.
@leicesterliz AGAIN:
A key part of your job is supporting those incapable of any work.
Why have you not addressed ANY of the concerns on that subject that hundreds of people have put to you here on X?
How do you plan to make sure DWP policy doesn't kill any more people than it already has?
Disabled people are living in crisis. But instead of choosing to give disabled people proper financial support, government will restrict access to Universal Credit and leave 424,000 people, who are unable to work, worse off by more than £400 a month. Bad news for disabled people
