@lukepollard.bsky.social your “party” is looking increasingly desperate, even your “leader” is questioning NATO.
The Greens only want to “pull out of NATO in the fantasy world Labour now inhabits, full of nonce apologists and careerists shilling for the obscenely rich.

At least 12 WI groups are closing or considering closure after the organisation barred transgender women from membership.
Members say more groups are likely to close, and that the federation’s decision has opened up a toxic, traditionalist culture that will deter younger women from joining.

Both the Greens and Reform are soft on Putin and soft on NATO.
The greens want to pull out of NATO and Reform’s Leader says Putin is the leader he admires the most.
Labour takes a different approach: a NATO-first strategy, increasing defence spending and renewing our forces.

What are you going to do about this?
You need to reflect upon the fact that trans kids are 7 times more likely to die by suicide than cis kids and READ MY RESEARCH about the great harm the puberty-blocker ban is causing.

Had the referendum been binding, rather than advisory, the result could have been overturned due to the illegalities, as would the results of an illegal election.
As the government chose to act as if the result were binding, then the rules for an illegal election should have applied.

This ruling is disappointing but one thing is clear: the EHRC’s draft code of practice got the law wrong and must be changed. Women's and men's toilets can be provided on a trans-inclusive basis for customers and service users. [1/3]
Today’s judgment makes one thing very clear: the reality of trans lives still goes ignored by the courts.
