Also any MPs who want their claims to give a shit about trans people to be taken seriously, you could do worse than to stand up in Parliament and directly ask the government about this.
Any journos or other people with access to streeting

Ask him why he thinks it's ok to continue asking a group who think blocking childline access, refusing rape crisis counselling, putting chilli sauce in make up and promoting DIY conversion therapy guides for their thoughts on trans healthcare.
Trans Safety Network are extremely concerned that DHSC are continuing to solicit input on trans healthcare from Bayswater and other anti trans groups after a reply to our previous concerns stated they would not work with groups who promote harmful practices or discriminatory views

We are way beyond the point at which everyone should have abandoned Meta's products, but here we are. Literally every day, another ew (yes, ew, not new) fact comes to light.
Instagram’s former head of safety and well-being Vaishnavi Jayakumar testified the company had a “17x” strike policy for accounts that engaged in the trafficking of humans for sex.

“You could incur 16 violations and upon the 17th violation, your account would be suspended"

Listing any one of her accomplishments feels like it it does it justice, and listing all of them would take hours. What a legend, what a loss.

People are probably calling Labour racist because Labour keep being racist. If they want to stop being called racist they should stop doing racist things.

Labour casually doing monstrous shit. Despicable, horrifying party. They're supposed to be the lesser evil, but they keep finding ways to be worse. They've not realised that they won't appease te far right, ever.

Labour policy is being celebrated by Tommy Robinson.

That's it.

That's all you ever need to say to explain who Labour are.

Appeasing the far-right gives the broader public the impression that their narrative is true. There is no way to stem support for Reform by endorsing their policies. Either you are fighting against them or you are, regardless of how you see yourself, fighting for them.

At this moment, every single person supporting Labour is fighting for a far-right government in the UK.

“You can hang him in a way that generates a benefit for you… or save him, generating a debt.”

Epstein’s reply: “What do you think it should be?”

wise choice for the bbc to cave to bad faith hysteria from trump et al — as we know in the united states, once you do that, they're definitely satisfied forever and nothing ever happens to you again

🎯 Davey is spot on. "We can have criticism of the BBC, but within that, we need to recognise how valuable an institution it is [and how] precious to our country. And that's one of the reasons why people like President Trump and Nigel Farage, want to undermine the BBC." 👏🏽~AA

Donald Trump is not going to sue the BBC for $1 billion

The real story today is both Reform/Farage and the Conservatives/Badenoch talking today about radically changing the BBC

This is the real agenda

It is extremely hard and brave to be a woman who wants to take away other people’s rights, including women’s, and for that I am feminist
JUSTICE AMY CONEY BARRETT:

“Being a conservative woman in a law school, particularly, takes a lot of courage and independence, and in many ways shows more feminism than just falling into some predetermined vision of what a woman should be.”
