In a normal world, today 630,000 students from Gaza are supposed to start their educational year, but in the genocide era, today they lost the second educational year, and instead they are waiting in the water, food and aid distribution lines.

Wow. Labour's Shadow Health Secretary Wes Streeting barely hanging on in Ilford North.

Pro-Gaza Independent Leanne Mohamad just 500 votes behind him.

I wonder what has been happening over the last decade that means people are suffering considerably more with ill mental health... a mystery

[PoliticsJOE @PoliticsJOE_UK]

In Rishi Sunak's Tory Britain you're no longer entitled to benefits if you are off work for reasons of ill mental health.

[Lucy Mackay @LucyMackay13]

This is a simple and obvious statement regarding how the law would work. It is perception based. There is no other rational way for a crime like this to work, and disagreeing with it based on this is only to highlight that your argument is not about women’s safety.

I was on The Nine tonight on BBC Scotland talking further about the rape shield for all those interested. It was a good discussion that as I said may not have been given this level of discussion even 10 years ago. @BBCScotland

Great week at @SLSA_UK #slsa24 -
overwhelming amount of fascinating research and had a very positive experience sharing some PhD findings this morning on the Criminal Law and Criminal Justice panel to finish off the week ☺️

‘As well as being realistically unworkable, it fails to reflect the complex, mutable and deeply personal realities of sexual conduct, where someone can enthusiastically consent without ever uttering the word “yes”, and, on the other hand, can say “yes” without truly consenting’

[Lucy Mackay @LucyMackay13]

Great article about the issues with the affirmative consent campaign, beyond the terrible slogan controversy:

[Palestine Solidarity Campaign @PSCupdates]

On #IWD24, we stand with Palestinian women continuing to lead the resistance to Israel’s colonisation, apartheid and genocide.

The fight for freedom from gendered oppression is incomplete without the liberation of all women and oppressed people across the world. (1/12)
