The Buddhist daughter of migrants wants to repeal an Act of Parliament that protects her (and others) from unfair treatment, discrimination, harassment, and victimisation based on race, sex and religion (amongst other characteristics).

Braverman is now lambasting equalities policies, saying Reform would scrap the equalities brief and repeal the Equality Act. Giving her this role - any role, in fact - does feel like quite a risk for Reform.

I don’t mind admitting that on MANY issues (not all, there are obvious exceptions!) I’m a bit of an Ursula fanboy.
If like me you love the EU and want to see the UK returned to its place in that organisation, this speech might just give you a little hope.

When you’re getting sick of hearing millionaires like Farage and billionaires like Ratcliffe lying about migration to justify their vile racism, do as I did tonight and go for a walk.

On the way home from the pool, I’ve just listened to @alastaircampbell2.bsky.social’s doom laden soliloquy on @therestpolitics.bsky.social.
A ReformUK government under Farage isn’t yet an inevitability.
But do Lab, LD, SNP, GRN and PC need to start collaborating?
You don’t beat neofascism in silos!

Freedom of expression and right to protest are being eroded.

I’ve just had a vile xenophobic Faragogram through the post imploring me to vote for Reform UK in the May local elections.
My local candidate wasn’t even named or pictured. It was all about Farage and Jenrick. And leaving ECHR.
Needless to say, I’ve done my bit for recycling. ♻️

There was a cool wind.
And now I’m at home with a coffee.
Amongst the pain and anguish in the world, never forget the comfort and beauty in the simple pleasures.
