The Tories have again failed to ban 'conversion therapy'

Now, the UK Council for Psychotherapy is legitimising so-called 'exploratory therapy', which many say is simply conversion therapy - rebranded.

This is a dangerous slippery slope: elliebroughton.bsky.social

...some UK therapists are toying with a rebrand - legitimising the discredited, abusive notion of 'curing' someone's sexual orientation, in the thin, imported guise of 'exploratory therapy'. elliebroughton.bsky.social reports: thelead.uk/labour-slams-s…

🚨🧵'This is a betrayal of all of those at risk of these abusive practices and a craven capitulation by a Prime Minister too weak to stand up to the right of his party' Anneliese Dodds tells us today as reports spread of Rishi Sunak's u-turn on banning conversion therapy.

After six years of u-turns and delay, the government's promised ban on so-called conversion therapy looks dead in the water.

Where the Conservatives have failed time and time again, Labour will deliver.

Labour would bring in a full, no-loopholes ban on conversion practices.

So much working class heritage has been lost, destroyed, or allowed to fall, and whose to blame?

Governments, councils, mainstream museum curators and collectors, and large historic organisations that never saw the value in working class culture buff.ly/4aG1IOF

We know there is a lack of support and resources available for those grieving with learning difficulties

The suicide rate among asylum seekers in Home Office accommodation has doubled in the past four years.

Something is clearly very wrong with the way we are treating people.

The Bibby Stockholm barge is a symbol of that failure.

It is HIGHLY sus that MPs aren't being allowed on board the Bibby Stockholm to asses conditions...

Residents claim it's 'like a prison'. One resident has already taken their own life. We need full transparency now
