If you deny women access to abortion related healthcare, they die. Abortion bans ruin lives, and if you really have to protest abortions (which you shouldn't), direct your attention towards politicians, instead of harassing women who need healthcare and are already having a horrible time.

This is actually a very minimal change to the already existing curriculum - the (compulsory) English Language GCSE is 50% "Critical reading and comprehension"

Gov UK states all specifications must include:

"identifying bias and misuse of evidence, including distinguishing between statements that are supported by evidence and those that are not; reflecting critically and evaluatively on text"

Most people presumably... "forgot"? but this has been in the curriculum for decades

I've heard people say both "young people are more politically conscious than ever" and also "young people are more disengaged/disillusioned from democracy than ever"

Whilst those things can both be true, I think it's v important now to try and get young people actively engaged with politics.

But also - we should keep trying to get older generations to be kinder, too.

I've been told "your generation will make the world right again!" by the generations above mine, since I was in primary school. 20 years later, we're still waiting for conservatives to die off. If climate change has proven anything, it's that we should all be doing more than just waiting it out

it's pretty well known that Hello Kitty is a little girl who dresses as a cat!

What's more up-for-debate is whether her boyfriend, Dear Daniel, is also a little girl (presumably, butch lesbian) or not

How do we get them to spend more time infighting and splintering into smaller and smaller factions, instead of merging back into one big mega far-right group?

I love that, by his own analogy, he has implied that Tory voters are either rats or children. Hating the image of Nigel playing a flute (or a pipe, I guess?) either way

It's the worst thing I've seen all day but it's not worse than the human brain organoid computer from a few weeks ago

It's just getting more and more difficult to feel okay voting Labour. I know splitting the left wing vote isn't tactically smart, but voting for labour isn't even a left wing vote anymore :(

(I'm still pro-tactical voting, I'm just doing it with more frustration than ever before)

Surprised to see none of the comments mentioning the 4B movement
