When ‘anti-trans’ events like FiLiA are allowed to take place in Brighton of all places - a city celebrated for its inclusivity and diversity - it’s a stark reminder that visibility and allyship matter more than ever.

People should not be afraid to be who they are 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️

More money in your pocket, more opportunities, fewer emissions.

I’m proud we introduced free bus travel for young people under 22 - and as of today, over 250 million free journeys have been made across Scotland.

Together with scrapping peak rail fares, we’re making your commutes cheaper.

Reform Party UK Exposed @reformexposed.bsky.social · 8h

That’s despite Reform UK flyers during the Local Elections criticising councils for doing just that.

Never trust a Reformer.
