Richard Tice is a one isn’t he?! He’s been a member of at least 3 political parties. What’s this ‘separatist’ nonsense? He’s one of the conmen who dragged us out of Europe, that is truly separatism. Am still perplexed as to how someone living in Dubai is cleared to even be considered as an MP.

A slow week in the Senedd so far: On Tuesday, the Reform leader in Cymru, Dan Thomas (no, not that one) resigned. Last year this previous Tory politician stated he‘d “…joined Reform because of their unwavering commitment to defending British culture, identity and values.” Ahem, ok.

This is horrifying. It classes disabled people as not fully human, because it is saying that they cannot ‘feel’ the same way as an able bodied person would in the same circumstances. www.mind.org.uk/news-campaig...
The new rules
The judgment introduces a regressive legal standard that will fundamentally alter the lives of potentially hundreds of thousands of vulnerable people:
The vast majority of people currently protected by the DoLS safeguards system in the UK will likely see their existing checks and independent inspections cancelled.
The Court implies that individuals with profound cognitive disabilities cannot be "deprived" of liberty because their condition limits their ability to experience it—a view that devalues their fundamental | rights.
The Court has suggested that in borderline cases, for a deprivation of liberty to exist, a care setting must closely mirror the extreme confinement of a prison cell.
If a vulnerable person appears passive or does not actively protest their arrangements, the law may recognise this as "consent" — even if they are subjected to routine physical restraint or chemical sedation or have never known a life without a high level of restriction.
