We don't have to push children into poverty. We don't have to make life harder for the sick and disabled. We don't have to aid and abet genocide. For too long, people have been denied a real political choice. Not anymore. Join us at yourparty.uk

Stop handing out medicalised labels like good patient stickers, start listening to people’s stories & hearing what’s happened to them. The psychiatrists pity party might not be necessary if they learned how to understand & make sense of human suffering & distress.
