People’s worth isn’t determined by their ability to work. We all deserve a decent living standard regardless. Just under 1/4 of the UK population is disabled, and anyone could become so. Please, ditch “strivers vs skivers” narratives and instead repair our social security net.
Frances Ryan@DrFrancesRyan

Just incredibly bleak that when a Labour government is finally in power, disabled people still have to wake up to front pages calling them a blight on society.

They lock up the heroes and reward the villains. As the climate emergency bites, everything is wrong with our response. This week's column. theguardian.com/commentisfree/…

@Savannah__P Basically, good moral thinking requires relevant experiences. Most philosophers are too privileged to experience what more marginalised people experience. So any moral philosophy that excludes them will have huge gaps!

My paper 'Moral Testimony and Epistemic Privilege' is out now in Metaphilosophy and free to read. It genuinely started with a discussion about boiled eggs: doi.org/10.1111/meta.1…

A key point missing in a lot of post debate analysis is that Trump’s claim about immigrants eating pets almost perfectly syncs up to the piano in the Peanuts theme song.

The longest sentence handed down to a violent racist rioter this week is shorter than the sentences imposed on entirely peaceful environmental protesters last month. Labour must repeal the Tory laws that treat peaceful protest more severely than violent disorder and assault.

Summer conditions like this year were much more common in the 1960s and 1970s. Our perception of a "good" summer has changed due to our warming climate. The Met Office's State of the Climate report reveals a dramatic increase in high temperatures. bbc.in/3zVIYxT

On the draconian sentencing of people who planned a non-violent protest: 1. The real vandals are big polluters, not peaceful protesters. 2. The Tories’ anti-protest laws attack not just JSO, but our very democracy and everyone’s ability to challenge power. We should scrap them.

BREAKING: We've challenged @RachelReevesMP about why she won't tax the richest in our society. We need wealth taxes to tackle the climate crisis, rebuild our crumbling public services + safeguard our future. Her response? Walking away from young people crying out for justice.

URGENT! Pls share. The last chance to register to vote in the General Election is 11.59pm tomorrow Tue 18 June. Potentially 8m aren't registered at their current address. Here's 4 key facts... 1) You can do it online here registertovote.service.gov.uk/country-of-res… 2) It's good for your finances. Not being on electoral roll can make it more difficult to be accepted for credit products like bank accounts or mortgages. 3) You can opt out of the 'Open Register' (which allows your info to be sold on) which will stop you getting junk mail marketing ) 4) You'll need ID when you do vote (not to register) if you don't have it, you can get it free until Wed 26 June gov.uk/apply-for-phot…
