The Team would like to wish a very happy 73rd birthday to the Peak District National Park today and offer our grateful thanks to everyone involved (from the early 1930’s to the present day) in realising the vision and working to establish and protect the Park 🥳 🎂🥂

Its now official that much of BrewDog's Lost Forest is dead. Unfortunately the Scottish Government is so obsessed with planting targets that it is unlikely to enquire about the causes of this disaster but a legal challenge at Stobo Hope could change that parkswatchscotland.co.uk/2024/04/14/bre…

Nearly 10k signatories now.

Can NHS England please confirm they've carried out the equality impact assessment of cutting specific mental health services for NHS staff?

As a public body, this is their legal duty.

Given the high % of female & BME NHS staff, where is the EIA?

The Cass Report, which took 4 years to examine treatment for gender dysphoria in youth, wound up making very few conclusions.

They particularly failed to find evidence that detransition is anything but extremely rare.

The tragedy of being from the Middle East is the fact that you have to constantly fear the total annihilation of your home, your family, your country and all that is nationally vital and valuable to you and at the same time expect to be blamed for it all.

Have you ever felt that the average person dressed better in the past? IMO, the reason has nothing to do with respectability, body shape, or even suits.

It has to do with the loss of what I call 'shape and drape.' 🧵

Tomorrow is the 10-year anniversary of SwiftOnSecurity.

Here’s the story. Which includes my story. I tell myself they are not the same. Someday they won’t. There will be a time I walk away. I can’t live up to this and won’t try. 🧵

This is disastrous, hideous news. NHS England are hacking back the mental health support for hospital staff. One doctor takes their life every three weeks. One nurse takes their life every single week. These numbers will now INCREASE. Victoria Atkins - please do the right thing.

The double standards in the Cass Review are not a bug: they are a core feature of how anti-trans concern trolling works. Consider Genspect's guide for parents, wherein it dismisses knowledge based on online surveys...and then presents ROGD as factual based on an online survey.

🚨NEW POLLING: 5 million voters could be disenfranchised by the Government’s new voter ID rules - which could save top Tories in knife-edge seats. 1/

The Govt has just changed the definition of ‘access’.

NHS practices are now showing that they can take new patients ‘when availability allows’.

Ministers can’t meaningfully measure impact when they’re comparing apples with oranges. 🍎🍊

Whenever I feel my imposter complex kick in I remember this stonemason's screw up outside the old Gaol in Nottingham 😅

In October 2023 our coroner issued a prevention of future deaths report, after my trans child took her life, due to poor MH attributed to lack of access to trans affirmative care.

8 months later #cass recommends access be blocked until patients are 25

This will break people.

More lunacy from the Telegraph. The NHS is the *enemy of Britain*?! Seriously?! Who can *possibly* argue this with a straight face?! And if the NHS is struggling, why? Who has been responsible for managing it for the last fourteen years?

The truth is that Conservatives in the UK present themselves as economically competent, but they destroyed the economy and the futures of the next generation with Brexit, pushed austerity which drove millions more into poverty, rather than investing in the future…
