Poor kids starve. Trans kids denied healthcare. Our new Health Secretary Wes Streeting.
Streeting is asked about Lab not scrapping the Tories 2 child benefit cap
In his reply WS says hes so proud this is the most state educated cabinet in our history. I'm sure thats a real comfort to the 250,000 kids growing up in poverty because of decisions that cabinet is making

This is worrying if true. Transphobes embedded in the media are using power and influence to spike any news getting out counter to their political agenda. They don't just propagate disinformation. They censor anyone revealing this to stop questions being asked about them.

If a trans child had JK Rowling as a parent they would never tell her. If a trans child came out and JK Rowling pressured them like this the trans child could request social services intervene. In other words JK Rowling approach to trans issues is like an abusive parent.

Deliberate targeting of any trans candidates by Labour to censor representation by a minority in parliament? Wow oh wow. Surely this has to be a breach of human rights and equality law at the heart of democracy?
The news about Wes Streeting is disappointing but not surprising.
