Huge interest in law. Will challenge injustice or people if I deem it necessary. Writes a bit. Confronts racism, unapologetically. Keeps circle small.

Globally, gout rates have climbed more than 20% since 1990, rising alongside rates of other chronic conditions like obesity, which can worsen the disease. But what is gout, and why is it growing so rapidly?
What Is Gout, and Why Is it on the Rise?
The condition is increasingly common, but stigma often prevents sufferers from obtaining treatment.

@mrjamesob.bsky.social @lbc.co.uk When you're checked for your cultural ignorance — in this case, by Labour ML Graham Stringer — the appropriate response is not to gloss over it or feign prior knowledge. It’s certainly not to pivot into technicalities or act as though you were merely “reminded.”

@itvpeston.bsky.social You've just totally mischaracterised what Dianne Abbott said. It's common sense that a white, middle aged man will experience racism differently from a black woman.
There seems to be a lot of white middle aged people schooling Dianne Abbott on racism - not a good look.

Dan Jarvis defending the benefit cuts by leaning heavily on the £1billion supposedly set aside for helping disabled people into work on #bbcpm just now. Except there’s just one problem with that… that pledge is significantly unfunded.
So much for “we’re cutting disability benefits but we’re going to invest in getting people back to work instead”.
Less “moral mission”, more “cost cutting”, it seems.
