Why not do away with sex based categories for anything where it is not there for safety? This just looks like how men excluded/exclude women.

The RSPB stopped selling flat bird feeders almost a year ago...
Poor show from Norfolk Wildlife Trust. Accepting advertising revenue from bird feeding despite massive evidence of negative impacts. Like a climate ngo taking money from big oil @alexanderlees.bsky.social @themarshtit.bsky.social

Bravo for Lewis Goodall saying it out loud... "Affluence is essential for social democracy". Or in other words, we won't stab each other in the back if we're fat enough.
This was a Budget born of political and intellectual weakness, not strength
Labour has to realise that moving the pieces on the board is not e enough. Affluence is essential for social democracy. And there isn't a plan to create it.

Labour needs affluence to remake society. Yet it seems curiously uninterested in creating it.

I do not want my govenrment a party to this 'plan'.
🚨🚨"It is not a peace plan. It is a proposal that weakens Ukraine and divides America from Europe, preparing the way for a larger war in the future. In the meantime, it benefits unnamed Russian and American investors, at the expense of everyone else." Excellent piece by @anneapplebaum.bsky.social:

Reform is a party that says things that appeal to racists, fields racist candidates, fawns over racist world leaders, made a convicted racist guest of honour at their conference, and whose leader refuses to outright deny having racially abused people.
If only there were a word for such a party.

When are our leaders going to behave like the US isn't our ally anymore?
A quick run through of the Trump administration's proposal for a Ukraine security guarantee, which is a security guarantee in the same way that the Liberal Democratic Party of Russia is a party committed to liberalism and democracy. 🧵 x.com/BarakRavid/s...

I asked this a month ago and seems relevant today. Anyone with experience or knowledge want to actually discuss something?
I'd be interested to get peoples thoughts on increasing indefinite leave to remain from 5 to 10 years (not the other rubbish about volunteering). I've always felt 5 years was a short time but as I've never emigrated anywhere I have no experience to draw on.
