No doubt we are at a tipping point for the future of healthcare in the U.K.

You will hear a lot of misinformation, disinformation, and barefaced lies over the next 18 months - a £200bn/yr industry is on the table.

So here are the facts…

Has the NHS been value for money?

Hi gang, do you like queer history?
How about drag?
How about old houses that you can explore with a nice drink in your hand after hours?

YOU DO?!!!

This generation of young women aren't internalizing patriarchy. The attempt to condition them to accept a dominance-based culture of masculinity isn't working.

Which is why so many men can't get a date.

Her: Hell no! Are you nuts?

If you're an MP who's had a 32% pay rise since 2010, and have your meals subsidised by the taxpayer, you're in no position to lecture a nurse who, since 2010, earns £5,000 less in real-terms about pay restraint. There's plenty of money; it's just going to the wrong places.

FYI. Since 2015 Ireland has had the Gender Recognition Act which allows people to have full legal recognition of their preferred gender. Last time I checked Ireland was still there. Don’t fall for the propaganda being peddled by the usual suspects. Also LEAVE MY FRIENDS ALONE.

Such an exceptional, powerful, female figure in a patriarchal political culture. And a huge advocate of literature. She interviewed me for the @edbookfest
in 2020, which was such a treat, but we never met in person. Look forward to your next stage @NicolaSturgeon #nicolasturgeon

@MediumSizeMeech Less by Andrew Sean Greer is contemporary fiction, world travel but no murder! Includes Berlin, Morocco and Sahara but not Spain. Lovely book.

It's been said over and over by the disabled community, and I'll repeat it for good measure: if we designed society and our systems around the needs of disabled people, life would become immensely more enjoyable and productive for everyone. Literally everyone would win.

Nicola Sturgeon's core point from today's Q&A, on the trans prisons row - "there is no other group in society where we accept that the actions of an individual somehow forms a justification for taking away rights from the whole group, or not according rights to that group"

Every slur aimed at trans women has at some time been aimed at a cis woman who is judged to have transgressed the patriarchal standard of how a women should look, think and behave.

[PinkNews @PinkNews]

BREAKING NEWS: Justice Secretary Dominic Raab has stated that the UK government will no longer house trans women who “have male genitalia” or who have been convicted of a sexual offence in women’s prisons. This conflates two categories which have no connection to one another. 1/
