The absolute state of this. 😡😡

"NHS staff should be banned from wearing pro-Palestinian badges", recommends a report by the #UKgov's antisemitism extremist, Lord Mann.

A Jewish A&E doctor in England told the BBC she had "felt uncomfortable" seeing colleagues wearing pro-Palestinian badges. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cn0plkd4wdno

Because god forbid that a racist might knowingly encounter a supporter of the people who are being ethnically cleansed & genocided by her co-religionists. 😡 😡

"We are deeply concerned about the potentially devastating repercussions of this proposal on #trans patients’ access to #healthcare, the ability of trans healthcare staff to conduct their everyday duties, and the #NHS’s ability to protect the rights and dignity of their trans patients and staff", say the #BritishMedicalAssociation #BMA.

But Kaz on Facebook read in #DailyMail that it's all "gender ideology", and intersex doesn't exist. So #UKgov is backing Kaz.

STATEMENT: EHRC code of practice for services, public functions and associations

We are concerned about the impact this exclusionary guidance will have on trans and gender diverse people

1918: Ireland elects a majority of Sinn Féin MPs, 73/105, pledged to set up an independent parliament. Westminster ignores Dáil Éireann, then bans it.

2026: #Scotland elects yet another majority of pro-indy MSPs, who vote by 72—55 for a 2nd #indyref. Just as they promised. Within hours, an anonymous Downing Street spokesman says "no". A faceless no.

After 108 years, #UKgov still doesn't get this democracy thing.

Can anyone go to London SW1 with a large #cluebat?

This #RejoinEU petition now has almost 97,000 signatures, very close to the trigger for a #UKParl debate. With (slightly) more positive noises from #UKGov recently, this is hopefully worth signing, to show the continuing growing recognition that #BrexitBreaksBritain and that we want to fix it! Please sign (and share/repost the details)!

Petition: Apply to Rejoin the EU as soon as possible to increase growth in the UK

We believe Brexit's not working. The OBR judges that the UK economy is smaller and trade is weaker because of Brexit, and it will just get worse. 10 years after the Brexit vote, let's apply to rejoin the EU, reverse the damage, boost growth, increase tax revenues and restore opportunities in the UK

Yep. #UKGov failing again. Day ending in Y.
Although, the whole UK Establishment is failing us, really.
One small, teeny, tiny divide and minority bashing seems just *totally* needed to distract those not blinded by Greggs & Premier League.

Here's @MartinLewis having a justified pop at how bad the UK Government is at addressing frauds from scam adverts on social media.
