Dr Natacha Kennedy from Goldsmiths, University of London, analysed the impact of the UK ban that was first implemented in March 2024, and extended indefinitely last December. Continue reading...

Afghanistan: our national shame In every newspaper, on every broadcast bulletin, today’s revelations about the Afghan data breach have been met with a stunned, sanguine silence.

4.6 Billion Years On, the Sun Is Having a Moment In the past two years, without much notice, solar power has begun to truly transform the world’s energy system.

Globally, roughly a third more power is being generated from the sun this spring than last. If this exponential rate of growth can continue, we will soon live in a very different world, @billmckibben.bsky.social writes.

Since the Israeli-American GHF aid distribution scheme started operating a month ago:

🚨at least 500 people have been reported killed

🚨nearly 4,000 people injured

The UN-led coordination and distribution of aid, inclusive of UNRWA, must be reinstated.

Simply put, based on Starmer's own policies and rhetoric, he is either massively anti-migrant, anti-disabled and anti-trans/non-binary, or so weak willed to have his whole policy agenda driven by those who are. Either way, he has no defence and shows himself unfit to claim any moral integrity.

At the same time as establishing a 'VIP-Lane' to fast-track contracts to Ministers' friends, the two Nobel Prize winners at the Crick Institute were being ignored.

Yet another example of profit prioritised over public safety, and our loved ones paid the price.

The Guardian view on abortion prosecutions: decriminalisation can’t wait | Editorial Editorial: The trial of Nicola Packer shows why MPs should seize the opportunity to change the law and safeguard vulnerable women now

Abortion should be taken out of the criminal code.

Vulnerable women should be met with compassion, not criminal charges based on a Victorian-era law that predates women even having the vote.

At this level of politics there is no way someone didn't know Starmer's "island of strangers" line would be heard loud and clear as a dog whistle by far-right groups in the vein of Powell's "found themselves made strangers in their own country". Just stop with the defences of it. It was deliberate.

Just out! Our peer-reviewed critique of the Cass Review has been published by BMC Medical Research Methodology. Please read and share. We show that the Cass Review is fatally flawed and should not be the basis for policy or practice in transgender healthcare.
