Save the Children says this could be the first Labour government to “oversee a rise” in child poverty rather than a decline. Still, I’m sure disabled mums can comfort their hungry children with the news Rachel Reeves has managed to stick to her fiscal rules.

No one should have to choose between care & Covid. The politicization of masks has led to a reduced infection control in healthcare settings. Patients are labelled anxious, difficult or worse for asking staff to wear a mask. We need mandatory masking in healthcare:
disabledginger.com
We Need Mandatory Masking in Healthcare, and We Need it Now
Healthcare facilities should set the tone when it comes to masking. They should help patients protect themselves from Covid and other threats. Instead they push droplet dogma and put lives at risk.

“One young man sobbed when a guard pushed him to the floor. He said, ‘I’m not a gang member. I’m gay. I’m a barber.’ I believed him. *** He “began to whimper,” as his head was roughly shaved, “folding his hands in prayer as his hair fell.” He “asked for his mother & cried as he was slapped again.”
