this is probably the last thing that Liberal Democrats could have been small l liberal about and they're even fucking this up
Since when was strangulation called โ€˜breath-playโ€™?! There is absolutely nothing playful AT ALL about someone trying to strangle you while having sex, when you didnโ€™t ask for it, didnโ€™t consent and are scared for your life. WTAFโ€ฆ

Intestines mentioned so I give it about three minutes until someone says ozempic is a cure for autism.

Holding down staff pay 'to protect the service' is no different from introducing a special NHS tax that's only paid by NHS employees. We do not have a unique responsibility to fund the healthcare system. It falls on everyone, and SHOULD fall fairly.

Updating the state recognition of Taiwan page on wikipedia to include Greater Lincolnshire
This morning, I signed a landmark trade agreement with Tainan in Taiwan, strengthening ties between our regions and creating new opportunities for trade, investment and innovation. Greater Lincolnshire has a huge amount to offer, and this agreement is another step towards showing the world what we do best. ๐Ÿ‡น๐Ÿ‡ผ ๐Ÿ‡ฌ๐Ÿ‡ง
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
UK mayors cannot sign binding international trade agreements (reserved for central UK government); Taiwanese reports describe this as a sister city twinning agreement, and prior official statements called it a non-binding MOU for local cooperation. greaterlincolnshire-cca.gov.uk/news/article/6โ€ฆ wennan.org.tw/uninews_view.pโ€ฆ citp.ac.uk/publications/tโ€ฆ

Side rooms are a precious resource, needed for actual medical reasons. That should be non-disputable. Insisting transgender people are forced into them because of the endless culture war bullshit will harm trans and non-trans patients alike.
in case you didn't know a trans woman was denied care for cancer in the UK because they refused to put her on either sex segregated ward (mens or womans). she died because of this. 16 days without treatment and she died. this new guidance has killed and will kill trans people

Who could have predicted that the fantastical notions of the NHSE guidance would immediately crash headfirst into the reality of bed management. Absolutely wild to see so many people claiming that medical outliers 1) don't happen and 2) don't cause measurable harm if they do.
This is murder. This is a murder that was partaken in by the entire political establishment and the NHS. It is a murder of a person for no other reason than simply because she was trans. Nobody will go to jail. Nobody will suffer any consequences. But they all murdered Joelle.

This is a known and documented risk of long-term bed pressures. Those that need specialist nursing care that can only be administered in specific units are the most at risk. This is a foreseeable outcome of limiting the available bed pool for trans inpatients.

oh shit oh fuck I forgot about The Horrors
Mentioned this in a lecture the other week and the non-expert, mostly non-trans students took approximately three seconds to identify roughly one million logistical impossibilities this would cause if followed (which it can't be)

It's not actually the transphobia that disgusts me the most about this NHSE bullshit. It's the implication that nurses up until now have been unwilling or unable to protect the dignity and safety of *all* of our patients.

Like I know it's not a good faith argument or even the actual point. But it does sting.

Another concern is that nurses (and others) who fail to implement these rules (because they are impossible) will be penalised and have examples made of them. It's another handy stick to beat those annoying fuckers who try to do the right thing with.

Singling out a trans person in a mixed sex unit is saying the quiet part louder than you're supposed to babes
Iโ€™m sorry youโ€™ll resign but I was in a mixed sex emergency ward with my mother as she had no where to go and tbh I was more concerned about the trans person there because of how my mother would have reacted than for them.I stayed there to make sure all was ok. Think of everyone!
