There’s only 3 days left to vote in the Green Party leadership election. Most people vote right at the start or right at the end. That means these last few days will decide the outcome. Haven’t voted yet? Do it here: ballot.greenparty.org.uk #BackZack

BBC News just referred to Palestine Action as “a proscribed terror organisation”. Terror organisation.

Memories are short. We’ve been calling out this genocide for a long time, and been met with the response of “will you condemn Hamas” by the likes of the times. Don’t forget how they have aided this genocide through their reporting

Absolute slop. This is the quality of the journalist class in this country. Autistic people have it hard enough without this constant media narrative of minimising their existence.

You’ve got 7 days left to join the Green Party and be able to vote for Zack Polanski to be leader. We need a mass movement. No climate justice without economic and social justice. backzack.com

Make no mistake, this is a threat to potential rebels for the upcoming release of the SEND white paper, which is rumoured to include substantial cuts in legal protections and provision for children and young people with Special Educational Needs & Disabilities

There is a Palestine motion going to full council at Warwick District Council on Wednesday. Write to your local councillors and urge them to vote for this motion. Urge your councillors to support the Palestine motion (6b) Link to your councillors’ email: estates8.warwickdc.gov.uk/cmis/?_gl=1*....

Absolute disgrace of a human being Greg Wallace acts an absolute disgrace again, this time by stigmatising autistic people to try and get pity for his disgraceful actions. Autism doesn’t make you act like a prick, that’s his to own.

I cannot wait for Leanne Mohamad to take Wes Streeting’s seat.

Just following Norman Tebbit’s internalised logic.

The SEND white paper will literally be based on the tories paper from 2022. Don’t believe Starmer’s government when they say they are “Change”. There is no consultation or coproduction with SEND families. There is extremely limited input from professionals. apple.news/A6i3tDnj3SdW...

It’s time to build a mass movement rooted in socialism. Join Greens Organise and let’s get GOing greensorganise.uk

Warwickshire people! See you at this!

The time to organise on the left is now. Not soon. Not watch this space. Join Greens Organise and help build the socialist movement within the Green Party. greensorganise.uk

Organising well is essential to success at the ballot box. The best chance of that on the British left is through Greens Organise.

There is a lot of concern that the SEN white paper in the autumn will lead to a lot more of this. We need to be prepared to fight for access to EHCPs and specialist provision for everyone that needs them. www.theargus.co.uk/news/2528088...

Rachel Reeves didn’t cry over the winter fuel payment cut, pushing pensioners into poverty. She didn’t cry over PIP cuts. She don’t cry over the ongoing genocide in Gaza. She cried over a politician suggesting she would lose her job. Labour are toast. Vote them out.

I oppose the proscription of Palestine Action. Labelling a direct action network as terrorism for challenging the UK’s complicity in genocide is a dangerous escalation. You don’t have to agree with every tactic to defend the right to protest. Parliament votes today. Stand against repression.

I’ve only seen one hate crime broadcast by the BBC on the Glastonbury coverage and this it. Cornwall Forever ✊

Ah yes, the “natural biological advantage” of transwomen to… lift chess pieces. Or maybe it was never about genuine concerns for natural advantage, and just thinly disguised bigotry.

In this article the Secretary of State for education explicitly states that the two child benefit cap doesn’t discourage people from having children. These people live on another planet. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

No they didn’t. They’ve put something in quotation marks that wasn’t said. This is quality of our media.

#SocialistSunday post! Add great socialist accounts to follow in the comments.

It is especially hard for autistic people in the north of Ireland. Unlike England (where statutory education support goes up to 25) there is a cliff face cut off in support at 16. This young person has achieved against all odds. m.belfasttelegraph.co.uk/sunday-life/...

This Trans Solidarity print is so powerful. Seeing the LGBT flowers together, the lesbian lavender menace, the transgirl roses, the gay men pansies, the green carnations Oscar Wilde wore. It’s the perfect visual to show LGBT Solidarity in these dark times. Everyone should support Jamie’s work.

In this case, it turns out Reform literally couldn’t organise a p***-up in a brewery www.lancasterguardian.co.uk/news/politic...

3.2% of needs assessments for EHCPs are completed within the STATUTORY timeframe in Devon. This is what 15 years of underfunding looks like. Meanwhile we wait until the autumn just to hear ideas of what the government want to do to address this. They’ve been in power for a year.

@transsolidarity.bsky.social and @goodlawproject.bsky.social stood in Parliament Square today to support trans rights. Support trans supporting artists. Support solidarity. Send a message to the establishment. We are going nowhere. TRANS SOLIDARITY.

In a mathematical sense, he’s worth 0.8 Liz Truss’.

127 Labour rebels on the PIP cuts, including my local MP. On my back of a fag packet maths, there is a likelihood the government lose without support from the tories (assuming the Lib Dem’s vote with the rebels).

PIP is my middle name (actually, it’s my first name). I see the huge impact of Personal Independence Payments on the quality of life for disabled people. Write to your MP and get ask them to vote this bill down.

This is a mess. If Bridget Phillipson was a good leader, she would do something about it. Consult with schools. Consult with families. schoolsweek.co.uk/delay-new-of...

Yvette Cooper’s response to the ongoing genocide in Gaza is to classify a group opposing the genocide as terrorists. A case of War is peace. Freedom is slavery. Ignorance is strength.

It’s worth reflecting on the benefits to mental health autistic people can get *just* from getting a diagnosis. Feeling validated in who you are is really powerful, it’s unfortunate that this is gate kept by an over medicalised process www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

The police forced their way into a place of worship of a pacifist movement. “The evening before his arrest, up to 30 Met officers broke down the front door of a Quaker meeting house to arrest six female members of the group in what appears to be a linked raid.” www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2025...

This is the reality we live in.

Imagine calling autistic kids “manipulative” for using scripts to cope, while praising politicians for “playing the long game.” Masking isn’t strategy. It’s survival. And no one should have to do it just to be safe. #Autism #Education #SEN #Neurodiversity

This isn’t talked about enough. By not diagnosing SEN people, the state ends up paying an order of magnitude more in incarceration costs than it would paying for special educational provision. www.specialneedsjungle.com/school-to-pr...

This quantity over quality directive isn’t just a bad idea for the quality of teaching and learning, it’s also a major safeguarding issue. If schools start employing teachers that don’t share safeguarding values, there will be a much, much worse problem. schoolsweek.co.uk/teacher-qual...

Bombing hospitals is a war crime; who knew. Wait until he finds out what the IDF have been doing in Gaza. Free Palestine.

‘Its inquiry into the state of councils’ finances found that while their core spending power had increased in real-terms since 2015, “the amount per person fell over the same period”.’ This is the result of intentionally underfunding Local Authorities, and pointing in mock horror at SEN. Fund SEN.

Israel is the destabilising actor.

Really interesting question that comes up sometimes, so I’ll try to offer an answer. Might do a bad job here, and this is basically an N=1 response that only captures how I experience masking. First off, it’s sort of awkwardly named — ‘masking’ conjures up the idea of ‘hiding’ or something. 1/
