Labour and Tories divided over city devolution bid

^{Published on 2025-01-15 01:20:36 - BBC}

Opposition councillors have accused a ruling Labour group of putting politics ahead of the needs of residents in its devolution bid. Milton Keynes City Council has teamed up with neighbouring Bedford, Luton and Central Bedfordshire to enter an expression of interest to the government to form a mayoral strategic authority.

The article from BBC News discusses the ongoing debate over the use of puberty blockers for transgender youth in the UK. It highlights the recent decision by NHS England to halt the routine prescription of puberty blockers to children and young people, following a review that found insufficient evidence on their safety and effectiveness. This decision has sparked a range of reactions; some see it as a cautious approach to protect children, while others, including transgender advocates and some medical professionals, argue that it could harm transgender youth by denying them necessary medical care. The article also touches on the broader context of transgender healthcare, mentioning the closure of the Tavistock Gender Identity Development Service and the establishment of new regional clinics. It includes perspectives from various stakeholders, including parents, clinicians, and activists, illustrating the complex and emotionally charged nature of the issue.
