🧵 You put a Thatcherite in charge of a review of Young People and Work, and guess what? He’s going to come up with Thatcherite solutions. This is the same Alan Milburn whose idea of health service reform was to create a ‘market’ in the NHS. 1/9
An organisation that actually had any interest in journalism would not amplify this without giving (at least) equal emphasis to the fact that ADHD *doesn't* mean cash handouts from the state, and @JoePJRobertson is just the latest Tory fleshwaste kicking disabled people for clout
Ask yourself why Helen Whately does this, literally daily.
She & her husband are both millionaires hoping to avoid a wealth tax at all costs. To them, disabled people’s lives aren’t worth a damn &they’d rather see us starve than pay a measly 2% wealth tax on their assets over 10m

Men are allowed to be in public in just swimming trunks. This is something you are simply allowed to do, as you should be. Weird coincidence that I've only ever seen it raised as a problem when it's gay men at Pride doing it.
Not only that. The privatised telecoms companies are making money from selling off all the copper that was originally paid for by the state when the grid was constructed. Outrageous legalised plunder
“Hi, the shit wording in your law means technically even kissing is illegal and can get you put on the registry”
‘A court can deal with that when you get arrested lol’
These people are running the country btw
the Russell Brand stuff and the UK Naughty Sex Act is such a lovely thematic overlap. A ruling class whose unaccountable sexual exploits are the privilege of power viewing the population of proles and plebians as exactly as full of overflowing sinful impulses as themselves
Dr. Dre and Ice Cube got into a DEBATE over the use of AI in music, with Dre arguing that SAMPLING was once criticized too and artists need to ADAPT to new technology or get LEFT BEHIND 😳👀
Ice Cube DISAGREED, saying it bothers him that someone with NO TALENT can simply type a prompt and recreate the work of LEGENDS without going through the creative process
