LGBT Labour spent the last few years operating largely as a vehicle for the promotion of its exec members within the Party rather than representing the interests of LGBTQ people.

In my view these shocking numbers for homophobia and transphobia amongst Labour voters are, to a large extent the responsibility of the leadership of LGBT Labour over the last 5-6 years. There are a number of reasons why the LGBT Labour exec needs to be held accountable…

if you're wondering why your trans friends everywhere are a little on edge right now, it's because a story about a radical conservative christian student abusing rules and processes to deliberately target a trans instructor consistently gets reframed to omit the entirety of the anti-trans bigotry
If you’re wondering why your friends in academia are a little on edge right now, it’s because an eighteen-year-old who hasn’t done the reading, doesn’t look at the assignment, and has does no critical thinking skills more complex than “because I think it’s in the Bible” can literally end your career

Where is the retribution for Israel breaking the ceasefire? Or are we all just pretending it’s not happening and waiting for Hamas to do something so Israel’s massacre of Palestinians can pick up the pace again?
BREAKING: The bodies of 29 Palestinians killed in Israeli attacks have been brought to Gaza's hospitals over the past 24 hours, reports the health ministry.

Good God, Starmer's at it again.
We're seeing people attacked and racially abused in the streets, businesses being vandalised and graffitied, and all he can think to do is keep beating the "!!! FEAR IMMIGRANTS !!!" drum louder and louder and louder.
He is the enemy now as much as the Tories were.

The simple fact that the Democrats are a party who look at military occupations of our nation's capital and major cities and think "I must find out how this is polling" before they speak out against it is WHY they are a party that cannot respond to the current moment and will be despised by history.
This memo is being sent to Democratic leaders/elites,
arguing that directly attacking Trump's deployment of the National Guard in DC is politically unwise. It encourages the use of terms like distraction and stunt. (I am not endorsing this kind of thinking at all. ) www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/bz9d8...

Unlike Iran, Israel refuses to sign the non proliferation treaty. Unlike Iran Israel already has nuclear weapons. Unlike Iran Israel refuses to allow IAEA inspection & oversight of its nuclear programme
But the UK govt tells us they are concerned about Irans nuclear programme.
