Megathread of pro-trans petitions on Parliament’s petition website. If Labour suddenly gets hit with debates for a bunch of pro-trans petitions, maybe they’ll realise this issue isn’t going away and they’ve fucked up.

I’ll add more as I find them.

Dear

Thank you very much for contacting me about your concerns regarding access to Covid-19 vaccination for Clinically Vulnerable people. Please accept my apologies for the delay in responding to your email.

I am pleased to be able to confirm that the new Labour government is committed to strengthening our public health response and reducing health inequalities. Labour's recent commitments and statements have made clear that the principle of universal and fair access to vaccines particularly for those who are medically at-risk must be central to our national strategy.

In Parliament, Labour MPs have called for a rapid review of JCVI eligibility criteria and for the reinstatement of free Covid-19 vaccination for all Clinically Vulnerable people, in line with the existing approach to NHS flu vaccinations. Many have highlighted, as you do, that the logic and evidence for including all at-risk groups in annual booster rollouts are overwhelming, given the ongoing pandemic context and emergence of new variants.

Our party's manifesto commits to taking advice from clinicians and scientists and to working closely with NHS England to ensure that support for the most vulnerable is not withdrawn on cost grounds especially when this may lead to greater suffering and increased NHS pressure. There is widespread concern across Parliament about the risk of deepening health inequality and placing the cost burden of essential preventative care onto those least able to shoulder it.

Thank you again for taking the time to share your concerns so powerfully.

Best wishes,

Dr Beccy Cooper MP

I DO!!! They’re the kind of thing I lie in bed imagining making a collection of tiny replicas to go in a set of those wall mounted antique display shelves (like what thimbles are displayed in) but will never actually get round to doing.

Fifty branches, representing over 36% of UCU members, have now called for @drjogrady.bsky.social to enter unconditional negotiations & remove the threat of punitive deductions against staff.

Unite's repeated requests for such talks have had no response. Will she now listen to @ucu.org.uk members?
We call on Jo Grady and UCU SMT to:
• Enter negotiations with Unite UCU without preconditions.
• Stop the threat of punitive deductions for ASOS - this breaches UCU and TUC policy and only serves to undermine all of us, not least those UCU members currently involved in legal test cases against punitive deductions after taking lawful industrial action.

Signed, 25, no 37, no 46, no 50 UCU branch committees (and still counting)

Have you heard of / read Eely by Steve Ely? I imagine you will have heard of anything eel related but honestly it is fascinating and opened my eyes to the world of eels (and alternative writing / poetry, I think)

What's your favorite Bluesky account that primarily posts about something other than current events/politics?

At this point I realise…. Nope all the accounts have at some point talked about politics/current events. Even the shitposters and niche joke accounts. Can’t ignore what’s going on and everything can be politicised (though don’t blame you for trying to find a drop of calm in the ocean)

Labour on form I see. 2.7 million people sign a petition saying "do not introduce digital ID" and the first words of their response are "We will introduce digital ID within this Parliament". Labour aren't listening. petition.parliament.uk/petitions/73...
Petition: Do not introduce Digital ID cards
We demand that the UK Government immediately commits to not introducing a digital ID cards. There are reports that this is being looked at.

The book cover for The Feminist Art of Walking by Morag Rose. The text is in large sans serif font and is in the middle of the page. It is in white over an image of the sky with a cloudy sunset. On the left edge, vertical, is a cityscape, on the right some gorse bushes

That guy at Liverpool’s UKIP demo with the argument “we’re patriotic not racist!” while standing on the same side of the barrier as all the actual Nazis; racists; and those holding the “send them back” “stop the boats” signs. Ffs. He made me the most angry.

I think the heated up and swelling battery and danger of fire on the plane was also a major factor in their decision!

important article highlighting the continuing benefit to both mother and newborn of vaccinating pregnant women against Covid.

The US under RFK Jr just stopped recommending vax for pregnant women. The UK has withdrawn vax for pregnant women too - I think both are very stupid decisions.

If only, if only, it was a clever plan from someone inside to show the ones who can do something about it, the evidence needed to reject the orders and stage a coup? Maybe?

The flew the entire military leadership in so they could see for themselves that the Secretary of Defense is a mouthbreathing dipshit and the Commander in Chief is a senile, weak old man who might keel over at any moment.

There are 4.24m people with Indefinite Leave to Remain (or equivalent).

82% are in work, compared with 74% of Britons

3.8m are in relationships with Britons

They have about 2.4m British-born children.

This bullshit is never going to happen. Again.
