Sadly my PCC, who should have resigned after her comments on the #FarageRiots, is likely to just move to the potentially equally pointless elected Mayor gravy train. Oh well, it's still good news.

Apologies for the LinkedIn link, but this from my former colleague Melanie Field, who was also the lead civil servant on the Equality Act 2010, is very good on the post-FWS context.
Does the Equality Act ban trans women from women's services?
Following the Supreme Court’s ruling in For Women Scotland Ltd v The Scottish Ministers (FWS) on 16 April this year that “sex” in the Equality Act 2010 (EA2010) means biological sex, there has been si...

Print it on posters and flyers. Pin it above the desk of every pro-democracy politician, staffer and strategist. Make memes and insta stories of it. Do Tik-Tok dance routines to it. Use it as a rallying cry and make it the accepted norm, not a lost epitaph of failure.

This is yet another example of how you beat the far right. By beating them, not trying to be them. By having your own agenda, not aping theirs. With courage and conviction - and humour - not fear and timidity.

I see my Tory MP voted to withdraw from the European Convention on Human Rights because he's a danger to himself and others, and has learned nothing from his party's ongoing mission to appease Farage 🤦♂️

3 things Starmer could do instead of camps in old barracks that would actually WORK👇
1. Create safe, regulated routes to apply for asylum in the UK
2. Let asylum seekers WORK & support themselves
3. Fast track status for people from obviously unsafe countries

The government's immigration policy is in desperate need of a bold change in direction.

Well, have they tried undeclaring pot holes?
Reform has “undeclared the climate crisis” to try to find savings.
Wow. If only we’d known it was that easy. Don’t like it? Just “undeclare” it. Simples.
The thought of clowns like this in government is just beyond anything remotely sane. Let’s not go there.

Always fascinating watching people underestimate the size of London vs other UK ciries.
On an average weekday, more journeys are made on JUST the Elizabeth line than the ENTIRE population of Liverpool.
If the Tube was a city, its average daily passengers would make it the 2nd largest in the UK.
