We must never forget the 72 people who died in the Grenfell Tower.

We must change the system that was so unjust to ignore repeated alarms.

Too many people are still living in unsafe buildings because profit is being placed above people's lives.

It's not enough for the government to "reconsider" new immigration rules. They need to be scrapped altogether.

What The Trans?! 🏳️‍⚧️ @whatthetrans.com · 4h

I'm 24 years old. I have a mortgage and own my own home, and I have a full time job.

But under Cass' recommendations Levy, I wouldn't be trusted with hormones if he decides to consider it.

Shows how ridiculous it all is.

These new figures come in the wake of 2024's Cass Review of gender services for children, which recommended the creation of a 'follow-through service' for 17 to 25-year-olds. Cass said this would help "ensure continuity of care and support at a potentially vulnerable stage in a trans person's journey" and "allow clinical and research follow-up data to be collected". This sparked fears that access to healthcare, such as hormone replacement therapy (HRT) would be restricted or even banned for under-25s -

Let’s make different political choices.

For decades now British people have been told to simply swallow austerity. They’ve been told that the NHS needs cuts, that libraries need closing and that child poverty can’t be tackled.

Greens say: Bullshit!

Graphic. Cut out of Zack Polanski saying " Zia, do you ever think immigration is the number one problem because you spend a lot of time spreading misinformation and fear?" In speech bubble. Cut out of Zia Yusuf from Reform below.

Imagine if the greens got the same media coverage & hype like Nigel Faright's Reform?!

Media hype making it out as though Reforms got majority support to sway the floating voters.
Reality is most would prefer an alternative like the Greens who address real issues instead of pandering to xenophobia
