@JimCognito2016 @LabourList @HilarySchan @PeoplesMomentum Both of them were elected in 2023. Neither of them were up for reelection this term so it had nothing to do with their seat. Likely didn’t want to divert attention from good local labour councillors.

[Dr James Davies (PhD) 💭 @JDaviesPhD]

One of neoliberalism's most cunning successes has been its ability to convince an entire generation that the route to a happier life comes via the individualistic hunt for new personal identity, rather than a collectivist fight for structural economic reform.

Check out this article I contributed to on @HeavyTherapy, @Kate_E_Quinn‘s baby. The article highlights community psychology and dialectics in the project.

This upcoming Wednesday 22 November, we call on all psychologists to protest at the BPS offices in London!

Ceasefire now!
End the occupation!
"Decolonisation" means land back!

Agreed. Always willing to help for free

@FutureClinPsy @MalePsychology @CentreMalePsych @LeedsMedHealth Men are disproportionately represented in consultant psychologist positions

Nonetheless, your point that the majority of cohorts do not represent society is a valid one, though this isn't just a gendered problem. Lack of diversity in colour, culture, class, and queerness too

@JDaviesPhD Whilst I agree that chemical and cognitive processes play little relevance to aetiology, many people use chemical or cognitive discourse when talking about what's relevant as this is unfortunately the prevailing, sometimes only discourse available in many people's lives

This was an incredible opportunity to hear about how clinical psychology can and is working at macro level change

[ACP-UK Trainee Network @ACP_UKTrainees]

Yesterday, the Trainee Network, in collaboration with @DrLisaCameronMP, invited trainee clinical psychologist members to Parliament. We were lucky to hear from @BaronessHollins, @UK_ACP Chair Mike Wang, @LeaBeretti, and Director for Trainees, @MrHariParekh.

Today I attended an @UK_ACP trainees event at Parliament discussing the much needed role of Clinical Psychology in policy. Grateful that the ACP support the profession's role in combating the social determinants of distress though policy and politics.

Lefty spaces always strike me as peaceful, honest, inspiring, creative, and encouraging. The hope they radiate supports my mental wellbeing. If in power, the left would create the conditions for a mentally well society. Contrary to the policies of the right.

[Jade Wilkinson @JadeWilkClinPsy]
