Excellent Substack from @chrischirp.bsky.social on Trump’s latest attack on child health. There is no evidence that the combined MMR vaccination is harmful and very good evidence that vaccination completion rates drop if separated. christinapagel.substack.com/p/trump-and-...

Suffragette figures/game pieces used in the 1909 'Pank-a-Squith' board game. Depending on what square your suffragette figure falls on, you follow instructions such as: ‘Dodges the police, move ahead two squares' #womensart

This is a great outcome for these women, and for all women. The right to single sex spaces is essential, and is law in the UK.

Reeves condemns Farage opposition to lifting two-child benefit cap
Exclusive: Chancellor says Reform leader wants to keep children in poverty based on skin colour after U-turn Rachel Reeves has said she was angered by Nigel Farage’s suggestion that only British-born families should have the two-child benefit cap lifted, saying the Reform UK leader would keep children in poverty based on their skin colour. The chancellor, who will introduce legislation to lift the cap on Thursday, said it had been a burden for her not to be able to do so sooner, but it had been vital to do it at a moment of market stability.

Liberal in name only
When a certain kind of ruling class such as the clique which controls the UK Lib Dems seeks to impose its own values on others, it will fail and generate resistance.

The overplatforming of Reform and lack of coverage of bigger parties is the huge elephant in the room in most newsrooms atm.

Labour are backtracking on a plan to help save birds: by blocking a new rule that would make developers put a £35 nest brick in every new home. They think it'll help win them votes - we need to show it would do the opposite. Sign the petition 38d.gs/ky2i

Following his conversation with President Zelenskyy, Donald Trump appears to be catching up with the rest of us: “there was no reason for Putin to be shooting missiles into civilian areas, cities and towns, over the last few days. It makes me think that maybe he doesn't want to stop the war”

when writing about the rise of British populism it’s worth bearing in mind that voters still prefer Starmer to Farage… ….and even prefer Ed Davey to Farage

Oh do sod off. Not every job requires being in an office full time. I am far more productive when working from home, because, being autistic, offices are an absolute nightmare. This antiquated thinking excludes so many people, and is proven to be nonsense. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

The HB-1 debate also applies to the UK. We have skilled roles in technology especially, being advertised at low rates in order to claim the need to bring in Indian workers. Wages hugely suppressed. Indian outsourcers part of the problem, a trade deal with India will worsen matters. Needs fixing.

The GE petition that’s got 417k signatures is fake. As in, bots. It got 300k signatures OVER NIGHT. And the activity graph is incredibly uniform. This is a manipulation, and I’ll be interested what the parliamentary petitions committee investigation will be like.

Appreciate this may not be a universally popular opinion but the less you treat BlueSky as a crusade or cause, and the more you position it as simply a superior user experience with a better governance approach, the more sustainable the growth will be.
