Today, the government is publishing a consultation on the future of PIP.

Morning, my fellow marauders of these here intervoids,

As I have somehow managed to claw my way to the end of this past week (by the skin of my teeth, mind you), I find myself with the tiniest sliver of time. Time enough, at least, for a post that doesn’t feel like I’m throwing…

Sad for the final result but what a second half...and Aaron Wainwright Player of the Match..

Feel very strongly that we must stop criminalising people for actions related to suicide attempts. This 18yo was sentenced to 52 weeks for her actions when she was highly distressed. Astonishing that she was in prison anyway, and with catastrophic consequences.

I’ve written a piece for ⁦The Guardian⁩ and it’s online today
