I’m 60 and autistic; was undiagnosed for most of my life. That didn’t make it any less real to live with. It’s had very real negative impacts, especially in employment and relationships. AuDHD diagnosis led to understanding, self-acceptance, and adjusting to my own needs at last.

Why should we want a woman who supports mass murder, war crimes, and crimes against humanity to take away our right to trial by jury? Why should we want a woman who puts the Israel lobby before her constituents to be in any position of power?

The Gov’s digital ID scheme is part of a broader pattern of weakening our rights and protections online. The consultation is our chance have our say and demand a system which respects our rights, makes it easier to access services, and keeps our data safe.

I don’t want government by app. I want a government that protects my privacy, security, humanity, and intellectual property rights and those of others. But alas, I have this one instead.
☕ Can you get your admin done faster than you can make a cup of tea? I want to make government by app a reality. That’s what we could do with digital ID. Have your say by searching ‘digital ID consultation’.

Leaked memo that Keir Starmer sent to members of the cabinet says that the UK Government should directly spend in the devolved nations "even when devolved governments may oppose this.” He adds that: "An overly deferential or laissez-faire approach to devolved government

“There are some things that have to be above politics. If they are not, then we have no society to defend.”
This from @Geoffrey_Cox was titanic - a truly beautiful speech. He outshone those sat opposite. They could only watch. And nervously laugh. This should be seen by every new MP to understand what they do, & every new barrister to understand what we do. https://t.co/ePPZSFWGPA

Shadmana's incredible poem for her cat is going on the wall in the Weston Library in Oxford University tonight. But if Shadmana got a place to study here, she wouldn't be eligible for a visa, because she's from Afghanistan.

@reformexposed @dontbrexitfixit Dismayed anyone still takes Farage lightly or at face value. Trump is a cover story. Farage was there to meet Bannon+ to strategise for May elections. But this shell game works – we’re writing him off as a loser instead of asking why he goes to the US, who he meets, who pays …

There we have it in black and white. Starmer’s own version of Boris Johnson’s muscular unionism. This is a direct assault on the democratic views of devolved Governments. Labour is now actively working against the interests of Wales in order to protect its own self-interest.
