To understand the desperation bleeding from these leaks you need to remember that the anti trans movement in the UK have a pre determined timeline, as they view it, for what will happen.
The SC judgement was a tactical victory for the anti trans movement in the UK. No point denying it 1/x

If you saw Shabana Mahmood’s idiotic and insulting display in the Commons this week and wondered: what kind of slack-jawed ignoramus would fall for this abysmal bullshit about how her ethnicity means you can’t tell her not to do migrant crackdowns? Well, the answer is: Guardian columnists.

Concern is growing for this former pro-Palestine protestor who has been missing since July 2024. Many are afraid she may have suffered a severe mental injury and although she was last seen in the Westminster area, she is believed to be lost and travelling without a moral compass.

The launch of Your Party has been a complete and utter shambles. It has been a disaster class in how to launch a political party. If the other parties wanted to sabotage Your Party, they could not have done a better job, writes Ricky Hale (@councilestatemedia.uk) open.substack.com/pub/councile...
Factional infighting is going to destroy Your Party before it has even got started
There is something I’ve been thinking for a while, but have been reluctant to write down, but now it needs to be said: the launch of Your Party has been a complete and utter shambles.
