Hi! Waves 👋. Over the past year, I have come to terms with ADHD diagnosis, started treatment, and tried to organise my life better. I have learned a lot. This document summarises 99% of it - I wish I had had this ages ago.

Our media's reporting of trans issues is poisonous, unhinged, a betrayal by those who pretend to report impartially, and shamefully reminiscent of other hate propagandising throughout the last century. I'm surprised to see it in the UK but I need to learn that it is, since Brexit, just who we are.

Labour are liars. They can't be progressive as they can't be trusted on what they promise, and they rarely ever deliver what they claim. All the scrutiny should be on Labour, who have betrayed a country crying out for something better.

So many bad-faith attacks on Zack Polanski.

About a third of carers are migrants.
Among other things, Labour has banned them from bringing their partners and kids here.

Those who have been on blockers for many years, need to go onto hormones for bone health (as well as emotional well-being, health rights etc). It looks like they are all being forced to wait until they are 18 to access oestrogen or testosterone.

When Sstarmer / Reeves enthuse about inward investment, they're promoting more of the same - private ownership of key services, investment gradually swapped out for loans, shareholder payouts, but a shady, 2nd-rate outcome for the public.

Don't forget that Labour is still absolutely committed to privatisation (especially the NHS)
UK public has paid £200bn to shareholders of key industries since privatisation.
In public ownership that would have gone into infrastructure, lower bills.
Privatisation delivered low investment, high bills, no tax on dividends to foreign investors.
No end to nightmare without public ownership.
