The only clinic in Scotland has decided to pre-comply with recommendations set out in the Cass Review ahead of the Scottish Government’s actual assessment of each recommendation.

Management should be hauled over the fucking coals for that.

this will put diy hrt under threat in the uk. if you live in the uk and are approached by journalists, especially if you are under 18 and diy, do not speak to them.

after the cass review potentially leading to restictions on transitioning for under 25s in a safer and supervised medical way, this could suggest there some people out there are looking at resticting diy hrt for people who are waiting too long on the nhs and can't afford private treatment. they're trying to do a blanket ban on all transition.

this is serious. as many people as possible need to be made aware of this and if you are approached for comment do not speak to any journalists

...“It just so outrageous, really, that they choose to persecute a frail, sick old woman for what to them is a relatively small amount – for something that she was not capable of managing,” said Chitseko. “When the super-rich get away with millions, it’s the injustice of it, the unfairness of it. It’s just really upsetting and frustrating”.

...The case, one of dozens involving the families of unpaid carers who have spoken to the Guardian, is another example of Britain’s chronically disconnected welfare system.

The DWP would have known that Chitseko’s mother was no longer eligible for the severe disability premium because her daughter had given the department her mother’s national insurance number and other details when applying for a carer’s allowance.

The department could, in theory, have stopped the payments itself. Instead, it placed the burden on the recipient: in this case an elderly vulnerable woman with early stage dementia.

And when the DWP realised three years later that she had been overpaid a severe disability benefit, instead of asking whether the department was at fault or whether she ought to have known the rules given her age and illness, it sought immediately to claw back the money.

The DWP needs to be demolished and a humane benefits system built its place. No chance of that with the Tories or Labour, though. Both the Tory 'Government' (which isn't fit nor competent to govern) and the Labour 'Opposition' (which opposes nothing the Tories do but simply claims it could do those things better) have indicated further clampdowns on benefits claimants after the next election.

Fuck this bullying, ableist, ageist, mean-spirited shithole of a country.

I actually think the smoking ban is a good thing, it obviously won't entirely stop smoking or underage smoking, at least not for many many years, but making cigarettes less accessible will surely prevent lots of people from even starting smoking in the first place. I dislike giving Tories credit as much as the next person but I don't see anything bad about this or banning disposable vapes

#am i right in thinking this same thing has been in place in Australia for a while already? #i was surprised to see a lot of the opinion on uk pol Tumblr seeming to be different than mine because the opinions are usually #very unanimous on here lol #uk politics

It's pretty grim how the term 'studio apartment' has gone from meaning a flat with an open plan kitchen/living room with a bedroom and a bathroom, to a bedsit akin to a room in a student halls flat, and the audacity to want a grand a month rent for one

so umm. apparently The Guardian is looking to interview people about DIY HRT in the UK. Especially in regards to under 18s using it.

PLEASE NEVER TALK TO JOURNALISTS UNLESS YOU ARE 100% CERTAIN IT CANNOT BE USED TO HURT ANYONE.

I am absolutely terrified for the implications of this, especially considering the recent Cass review that suggested that the NHS should not provide gender affirming care to people under TWENTY FIVE. The UK government is actively trying to kill trans people. You cannot say otherwise now. They are not ignorant. They know what they are doing. I do not know what we can do, especially me as a 17 year old. But I want to do something. I NEED to do something. I need HRT, I didnt realise just how much i needed it until i found out the option might be taken away. And I can't go through the NHS, I can't go through private, DIY is my only option. Don't. Don't take this away from me too. Please.

Man who married daughter of billionaire tells Brits: ‘you don’t get anything without hard work'

So, here is the latest edition of conservative hypocrisy. Rishi Sunak, the current Prime Minister; someone who never has to worry about the implications of not being paid because of illness from being off sick from work is telling the nation that their GPs no longer have the authority to sign them off work.

The implications of this are as huge as they are depressing. Anyone too sick to work; could be contagious (flu etc), have an aggravated injury made worse by repetitious activity etc, will be forced to attend work after a "company Dr" obviously on the company's payroll declares you fit for work.

This is the current playbook of their steady march towards abolishing the NHS and installing privatised healthcare throughout the country.

PLEASE VOTE!!!!
