Excellent news coming out of Ireland. Well done Catherine Connolly.
Well done Caerphilly.

Clear message to Labour and thankfully a rejection of Reform.

I'm Jewish. I'm also Mancunian.

Every other national party leader was interviewed by Laura Kunesberg during their conference.

Maybe the BBC thought as someone who also supports Palestine - I had nothing to say?

Farage says jump... Starmer asks how high?

Ok. They’ve pissed me off.

I’m back to tell you 3 things about ID cards:

1. Migrants ALREADY HAVE biometric ID cards & govts have been trying to digitise them for years w repeated fuckups & failures causing complete chaos - they don’t work, you do not want that system for you.
Starmer should not be meeting with Herzog in London. He should instead be seeking his arrest for his part in the genocide in Gaza.
Utterly pathetic from the National Library.
NEW: The National Library of Scotland has U-turned on a decision not to include the gender-critical book 'The Women Who Wouldn’t Wheesht' in the main part of a public exhibition

When I posted that I was the "lesbian staffer" that quit Duffield's office, Linehan went for me and I had days and days of abuse (Duffield did nothing natch). It was probably the most online homophobia I've ever experienced, and he called me a disgrace to gay rights.

He is just a piece of trash. This is how Linehan showed up at court today for his harassment trial. Lets face it, he'll never give up in his hate crusade because it's the only thing that keeps him relevant. Stochastic terrorism is a perfect descriptor for what he does.
The media asking senior politicians about what flags they have in their homes is the lowest level of tripe I've ever heard.

Patriotism is not about flags, it is about caring for your country, looking out for others and bettering society and environment we all live in.

Flying a flag does nothing.
Wonderful news that @zackpolanski.bsky.social has been elected as Green Leader in England and Wales.

A sensible voice with equality at his core, I am sure his message will cut through.
Absolutely nobody is denying that women are people. However, Sex Matters actively deny that trans people exist...transphobia.
Keir Starmer has just promoted Tim Allan - a man who has been on the Board of Sex Matters.

Starmer just put transphobia at the heart of his government.
Attacking, scapegoating and othering a minority for power, whether it be trans people or immigrants, is straight from the same playbook.

The UK is a shambles of hatred and bigotry at the moment, fueled by the Far Right, the media and government inaction.

TERFS & Reform are working from same page.
Using symbols and flags out of context to spread fear has long been a key part of the Far Right playbook.

Putting up flags on our streets is not a mark of patriotism, it is a mark of radicalisation by the Far Right in their bid to spread hate.

Do not buy into it.
Thank you to all of those counter-protesting in Perth today.

Stay safe.

i'll say it again, my loud and vigorous support for any democrat who calls for televised hearings and criminal charges for everyone involved in DOGE. this guy should never be able to live in peace again.
On the left: Nate Cavanagh, a 28-year-old DOGE staffer and college dropout.

On the right: Mohammad Halimi, a 53-year-old exiled Afghan scholar.

This is the story of how DOGE targeted Halimi on social media.

Then the Taliban took his family. 🧵

This is what British “gender criticals” want too.

No NHS gender care, at all.

No ability to change gender markers.

Access to HRT, even privately, criminalised.

“Dignity and respect” as they segregate, dehumanise and criminalise.
"It's just your healthcare"

Federal employee health plans barred from covering gender affirming care “regardless of age”

The media are complicit in the exponential rise in hatred & bigotry we are seeing at the moment.

Disproportionately platforming political parties and lobbyists such as Reform UK, LGB Alliance, Sex Matters & For Women Scotland, leads to increases in racism, islamophobia & transphobia.

No balance.

So Sharron Davies has literally been nominated for a life peerage for being a transphobe.
She will be able to claim £342 tax free every day she ‘signs on’, heavily subsidised meals and booze.
Free travel.
Can vote on legislation she knows absolutely nothing about whatsoever.
British ‘democracy’👍🏻
