this feels like another iteration of the "what if I give a homeless man money and he buys booze" thing. So then he bought booze, so what, you are not his personal life coach. You did your bit now go live your life.
Balancing "no person with a disability should be denied accommodations" with "it's important to discourage non-disabled people from pretending to be disabled to take advantage of these accommodations" is really difficult and I don't have a great answer for what anyone should do about it.

This is the main thing the resident doctor strike action is about, not the pay - though that helps retain doctors.
If resident doctors cannot get posts, which is the case currently, they cannot progress and may leave our NHS.
Down the line we will have a shortage senior doctors such as consultants

This year, 30,000 doctors applied for only 10,000 training posts. These are highly trained professionals who want long term NHS careers, yet thousands are being denied the ability to progress in their careers. Many are left moving between short-term roles or leaving.

If only famous artworks could go on strike, as the Tate certainly values them over their employees. They've put up with two restructurings in five years, redundancies and below-inflation pay rises, all while working in a city of sky-high rents during a cost of living crisis. Pay up Tate bosses!

ICE raids are cruel, inhumane, and do nothing to serve public safety.
My responsibility is to be the mayor to each and every person that calls this city their home. That includes millions of immigrants— of which I am one.

RIP Tom Stoppard, adored since a mid 1970s school production of After Magritte when me and another girl (I'm holding the tuba) were recruited by a local boys school. The passion for my onstage husband didn't last, but Stoppard has never disappointed, right up to The Invention of Love this year.

When Paris was full of cinemas, the Surrealists used to go and see five minutes of one picture, move to another cinema, watch a bit of their fil, and so on, making one weird movie in their groovy minds.

🚨 Rachel Reeves JUST unveiled “the most complex government budget in history.” But without a proper wealth tax we’ll never fix the NHS or fund schools properly. So we HACKED a billboard in her constituency with the real solution: TAX THE F*CKING RICH

There was no “Battle at Wounded Knee.”
300 unarmed Lakota, men, women, children and elders were massacred.
By cowards.
Your word IS NOT final.
Those medals were unearned.
By evil men.
That’s the truth.
And that is definitely FINAL!!
