Been wondering what my pinned post should be.
And I keep coming back to this…
I can’t think of a more pertinent quote for the dystopian times we’re living in than the words of MLK Jr from *six decades ago*

Intimidation by lawfare is now the anti-trans weapon of choice, funded by wealthy backers. By comparison, social organisations like WI can’t afford to go to court.
So they capitulate.
This isn’t justice.
It’s eradication. Exclude trans people from public life and deny them a private life too.

NHS to pay 25% more for US drugs
That's an extra £3 billion a year
Why?
Because Brexit, taking us outside the EU, makes the UK weaker than if we were inside the the EU

Imagine being turned away from a bathroom, hospital, or cinema for “not looking female enough”. The leaked EHRC guidance could do just that. Along with my Lib Dem colleagues, I’ve written to the Minister calling for new, inclusive, practical guidance that protects everyone’s rights.
