I don't know if CAPS might be helpful, too. capsadvocacy.org/individual-a... SIAA lists various organisations, but most of them are extremely specific... 😕 www.siaa.org.uk/find-an-advo...

There's @advocard.bsky.social? You could also try asking in the mutual aid channel on the @amase.org.uk Discord...

I'm having a rough time with diabetes distress and general disability burnout, and the NHS hasn't the faintest idea what to do with autistics (I'm not officially disgnosed) when it comes to either mental health or diabetes. Does anyone know where I could get some advocacy? @oolong.co.uk, any ideas?

Hahaha, there they go. 'Centre right', 5 followers, 600+ posts, sure sounds like a legitimate human being engaging in good faith! 🙃

iirc the really scary statistics are about who paid for recession. normally the poorest do; in the 1970s it was the richest. that's the destruction we must never go back to

It's very important to Tories that people believe the 1970s were a disaster decade, because they were pretty much the only justification they ever had for the policy framework that's dominated the next 46 years. Here's a corrective from @redpeppermag.bsky.social www.redpepper.org.uk/political-pa...

The myth of the 1970s - Red Pepper

The myth is that in the 1970s, the dead lay unburied, unions held the country to ransom, and it was impossible to govern: was it so bad?

Love how potted histories of the 1970s always seem to go an about high unemployment, but then you look at actual statistics and see that it doubled in the five years after the Tories took power in 1979 and took twenty years to come back down to its previous level www.ons.gov.uk/employmentan...

This is the Simon Clarke who was born in 1984 talking about "memories" of the 1970s?

I've never heard of them before, I don't think. It's easy to miss publications' track records, in my experience...

This KC has the batshit idea that you can win cases by retroactively applying guidance changes onto historical situations. So the NHS and the RCN must discriminate against trans women back then, because we have segregation today. That by not segregating and discriminating back then, they broke rules

This is what it comes down to every time someone ends up in court defending their transphobia. They say their beliefs and free speech are protected, and it turns out they've behaved abominably, in a way their beliefs absolutely don't require. Does anyone know an exception? rtie.org/trans-facts/...

Many of the most prominent campaigners against trans rights, and politicians overseeing their removal, are 'pro trans rights' according to themselves

Yes and in those 11 weeks the EHRC guidance has come into force (which he supported) as has the schools guidance. He also kept the ministers responsible in place, and is currently drawing up plans to ban trans people who lay sick and dying from appropriate hospital wards, endangering their lives

"It is clear that Labour needs the Greens to keep them in check everyday to push them towards the real transformation this country needs." @zackpolanski.bsky.social reacts to the Prime Minister's speech at Labour conference.

HOPE IS NOT JUST A SLOGAN, IT NEEDS TO MEAN REAL CHANGE

ZACK POLANSKI
LEADER OF THE GREEN PARTY

"Unlike his predecessor, we have a PM who talks like he gets it. But sadly like his predecessor he isn’t prepared to break from the powerful and wealthy interests that have created an inequality, affordability and a climate crisis.

Hope is not just a slogan, it needs to mean real change. The speech today had no wealth taxes, no rent controls, no water nationalisation and a strong hint of more North Sea drilling.

It is disappointing that we have a country ready to break from the last 40 years, a Labour government with the majority to do it, and yet what we see are more half measures, reannouncements and tinkering."
