Social workers may stop asking dementia patients who the Prime Minister is in memory tests due to the high turnaround at Number 10.

After three leaders in four months, it was felt the question was unfair as those without the disease may also struggle to name the current leader amid the Tory turmoil.

Warnings were given in a training session for social workers about dementia patients in Derbyshire last week.

A source said: “They were updating things and advised not to use the PM question anymore.”

Not really sure what they can ask. Royals have been changing too

Ukraine war live map link. The Ukrainians are still making continuous gains.

Don't remember which goy it was but he said the Ukrainians will never get through Kherson a few days back, anyways turns out he was wrong and now the Ukrainians control half of the Kherson Oblast.

It's pretty wildin. Even the bombings stopped form the Russians. Idk what that's all about. Anyone figure if they actually ran out of bombs?

Edit: I looked over the data and far as I can tell Russia is back to all the gains they had made on March 01. Anyways I am fairly confident that Ukraine will get back all the pre invasion territories and will likely continue into Crimea afterwards.

However that is not the primary issue. The primary issue is that with a complete Ukrainian victory Russian morale and military capabilities are down bad but otherwise economically they are still up. The west kind of needs Russia to fracture to ensure another similar invasion has no chance of happening. A Ukrainian victory within the year does not guarantee that outcome.

All that's happened is that the long term decline has been sped up.

My take is that any variation of the future where Russia is still a dangerous global power 10 years down the line is unacceptable to the west.

On the other hand Russia probably sent entire regions worth of people to die with nothing gained. All that's needed is for the Russians to see some rebellions within their own territories for the tower to start crumbling down.

A Labour MP has claimed there is a "whisper list" of roughly 40 politicians to keep at arm's length in Westminster -- including two former cabinet ministers.

Charlotte Nichols, the MP for Warrington North, said she was warned of colleagues to never accept a drink from or be alone with. The list, which is not written down, includes people known for "bullying or sexual misconduct".

She said: "We need to be aware of these MPs from a range of political parties for our friends' sake who may visit parliament, for our staffers' sake and of course for our own safety and professional reputation as well."

In order to stay safe, she admitted she would avoid them "as far as possible", even if it meant dodging trying to work with them.

Nichols said the list "is not 100%", as someone whom most people would deem "good and safe" had left her facing a harrowing ordeal.

"Everyone will know of a whisper network list of people to avoid in parliament. When I joined, I was sat down and told of people I should never accept a drink from, never be alone with and avoid as far as possible to stay safe."

Speaking to BBC Radio 5 Live, Nichols, who was elected in 2019, said she would have the "perfect job" if it was not for abuse online and "the culture of toxicity" within Westminster itself.

She added: "We all know [who they are] and nothing is done and they continue to walk around and do their jobs -- and there's that kind of culture of impunity on it."

Nichols did not identify any of these politicians, but said there were roughly 40 on the list, with two of them once having served as cabinet ministers.

"I think I was quite staggered at how long the list was," she said, adding that new names appeared "all the time".

A senior Tory female MP who did not wish to be named said she had been warned of which male journ*lists to avoid in parliament, and she wished women did not "have to share this sort of info -- but it's what we do".

Humans are smoking so much meth that the fish who eat our shit are getting super fricked up and forgetting to eat or mate.

Look at how strung out this poor bastard is :

Look, either Ron DeSantis is literally stuffing Dinesh D'Souza's 2,000 Mules up his entire butt, or Florida is a red state.

Yes, it's gerrymandered as balls, and DeSantis's district map would make Jim Crow laws jizz themselves.

But unless DeSantis has some kind of secret deal to hide Democratic votes at Mar-a-Lago with Donald Trump's stolen classified traitor documents --- and their feud is just a ruse! --- then it's ridiculous to do this thing every two years where we're all like "Ooh! What is Florida gonna do!"

It's going to vote for Republicans. It's full of angry, racist, bigoted, racist, QAnon, racist, fascist, racist, senile, racist, full-of-shit, racist, white, racist, garbage, racist retirees who improved their states of origin by leaving them.

And also look, gotta be fair here, but Democrats really have lost a lot of ground with Latinx voters, and it needs to be all hands on deck to figure out how to solve that. Florida's a lost cause, but it matters in other states.

Here is what happened in Florida last night: All the important results were figured by 9 p.m. ET. There was no suspense. This has increasingly been the case in every election over the last few cycles.

Republicans on the national level didn't gain anything from Florida's contributions, or at least they didn't win them fairly. They drew things, in order to help themselves win/steal Congress. It may not have worked.

@SlackerNews

One of the newest members of the Pontifical Academy for Life appointed by Pope Francis is an outspoken advocate of abortion rights, having recently shared her opposition to the overturning of Roe v. Wade on Twitter.

Italian-American economist Mariana Mazzucato, known for her work promoting the public sector’s role in encouraging innovation, was among seven academics appointed by the pope on Oct. 15 to serve five-year terms with the academy.

In his 2020 book “Let Us Dream: The Path to a Better Future,” Pope Francis described Mazzucato’s work as “thinking that is not ideological, which moves beyond the polarization of free market capitalism and state socialism, and which has at its heart a concern that all of humanity have access to land, lodging, and labor.”

The website Catholic Culture published on Tuesday links to recent social media posts shared by Mazzucato in which she tweeted and retweeted pro-abortion statements concerning the Supreme Court’s decision to return abortion law to the states.

In response to a Twitter post that featured commentary deploring the overturning of Roe v. Wade, Mazzucato tweeted, “So good!”

The post included a video of commentator Ana Kasparian condemning Christians for pushing their own views on non-Christians.

“These comments might be strong but it’s how I genuinely feel. I don’t care that you’re a Christian. I don’t care what the Bible says. Like, I feel like it’s a clown show, like sitting here trying to decipher what your little mythical book has to say about these very real political issues, right,” Kasparian said.

‘Shocking and scandalous’

Robert P. George, professor of jurisprudence at Princeton University, a Catholic and outspoken advocate for the right to life, told CNA that he is disturbed by the news of the appointment. “The Pontifical Academy for Life exists to advance the Church’s mission to foster respect for the profound, inherent, and equal dignity of each and every member of the human family, beginning with the precious child in the womb. Either one believes in this mission or one does not. If one does not, then why would one wish to be part of the Pontifical Academy?” George asked.

“And why would someone with appointment authority appoint someone to the academy? I can think of no explanation that is not shocking and scandalous,” George told CNA.

Catholic Culture shared Mazzucato’s other tweets and retweets from that time period:

On June 23, she retweeted a tweet by Robert Reich: “So states can decide you must carry a fetus but not whether you can carry a concealed gun?”

On June 24, she retweeted a tweet by Nicola Sturgeon: “One of the darkest days for women’s rights in my lifetime. Obviously the immediate consequences will be suffered by women in the US—but this will embolden anti-abortion & anti-women forces in other countries too. Solidarity doesn’t feel enough right now—but it is necessary.”

On June 24, she retweeted a tweet by Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus: “Safe #abortion is health care. It saves lives. Restricting it drives women and girls towards unsafe abortions, resulting in complications, even death. The evidence is irrefutable.”

On June 25, she tweeted, “Excellent @ewarren” in reaction to comments about abortion made by pro-abortion Sen. Elizabeth Warren.

On July 2, she retweeted a tweet by Bloomberg Quicktake: “‘Safe abortion is health care. It saves lives.’ Earlier this week, WHO’s @DrTedros blasted the Supreme Court’s decision to end the constitutional right to an abortion as a ‘setback’ for the decades-long trend toward safer access.

On July 3, she retweeted a tweet by Robert Reich: “Call me a radical lefty, but I think it should be easier to get a life-saving abortion than an assault rifle.”

Pro-life pledge removed

The Pontifical Academy for Life was formed by St. John Paul II in 1994 with a pro-life mission to “study, information, and formation on the principal problems of biomedicine and of law, relative to the promotion and defense of life, above all in the direct relation that they have with Christian morality and the directives of the Church’s Magisterium.”

The academy’s first president, Venerable Jérôme Lejeune, established bylaws requiring members of the academy to sign a declaration stating, “before God and men we bear witness that for us every human being is a person” and that “from the moment the embryo is formed until death it is the same human being which grows to maturity and dies.”

In 2016, however, with the appointment of Archbishop Vincenzo Paglia as president of the Pontifical Academy for Life, Pope Francis approved new statutes that eliminated the requirement that members declare themselves “pro-life.”

However, the academy’s new statutes still require members to conform with Church teaching.

The statutes also say members, or academicians, appointed by the pope, can be of any religion, though they should “promote and defend the principles regarding the value of life and dignity of the human person, interpreted in a way that conforms to the Magisterium of the Church.”

An academician can have his or her membership revoked, the statutes say, “in the case of a public and deliberate action or statement manifestly contrary to said principles, or seriously offensive to the dignity and credibility of the Catholic Church and the Academy itself.”

However, in 2017 a pro-abortion theologian, Nigel Biggar, was appointed to the academy. An Anglican professor of moral and pastoral theology at the University of Oxford, he supported legalized abortion up to 18 weeks and had expressed qualified support for euthanasia, the National Catholic Register reported.

In 2021, in an address to the Pontifical Academy for Life, Pope Francis affirmed the academy’s pro-life mission. The Holy Father said that the institution’s purpose was to “help today’s men and women to rediscover ‘the primacy of the right to life from conception to its natural end.’”

Confusion over contraception

The institution received negative publicity in June over the publication of a book that appeared to condone contraception in certain cases.

At least one member of the Pontifical Academy for Life distanced herself from the book, “Theological Ethics of Life: Scripture, Tradition, Practical Challenges.”

“The book is not an official statement but the seminar records in which 20 people made their personal statements. Many members didn't know about it and are astonished,” Spain-based bioethicist Elena Postigo shared on Twitter.

Other new members

The other new members of the academy are Archbishop Carlos Castillo Mattasoglio of Lima, Peru; Federico de Montalvo Jääskeläinen, expert in constitutional law, human rights, civil liberties, and medical law and bioethics from Spain; Saad al-Din Mosaad Helaly, professor of Islamic jurisprudence at Al-Azhar University in Egypt; Dr. John N. Nkengasong, U.S. global AIDS coordinator and special representative for global health diplomacy at the U.S. Department of State; Dr. Jean-Marie Okwo-Bele, public health expert from Congo; and Sheila Dinotshe Tlou, expert on HIV/AIDS and women’s health from Botswana.
