So as I understand it this means: We're taking away all your support and services, & we won't let anyone from overseas come in & help support you either.
And people thought the Tories were cruel. How did we end up returning to a Victorian government? Where rich people ruled to line their pockets?

Home Office Ministers state publicly, on the record, that they are deliberately making life worse for older people and people with disabilities who depend on care services, but it's worth it because it reduces net migration.

Amazon is making money off AI copies of books - and putting the onus on authors to prove they’ve been plagiarised.
Honestly, just stop buying books from Amazon. Get them from an actual bookshop or order them from a reputable book supplier like bookshop.org

8 December 1980, John Lennon was brutally murdered on the steps of the Dakota Building.
I remember it like it was yesterday, mainly because it was the first time I'd ever seen my parents cry. Remembering him today brings my parents back to life.
Rest in peace, John

Today’s announcement from Girlguiding to reverse their previous trans-inclusive policy will come as painful news for many families.
We know GirlGuiding has worked for years to include trans girls and to offer them the same opportunities as their peers.
