Greta Thunberg has just been released and she is back on the warpath, exactly like our leaders should be.

Israel will never silence her or the billions who oppose them.

Oh look, it's that easy. 🤷🏼‍♀️

PN: If there was a Green government, would the Greens reverse the Tories, and subsequently Wes Streeting's, ban on puberty blockers for trans youth?

ZP: Absolutely.

It's really important that policy for trans people is informed by the National Health Service and is done in consultation with trans people. It seems like an abominable gap, particularly in the Cass review, that trans people were not included in the conversations.

It's a basic principle: nothing about us without us.

At the point you’re putting Tony Blair in charge of Gaza, you might as well send in Gazza wielding a fishing rod and a bucket of KFC. He’d be just as useful and its nominative determinism.

The fucking BBC is at it again: in a story about Trump and Sadiq Khan, they used a couple of paragraphs to report what the frog-faced Nazi has to say about it. Not the LDs, or the Greens, or anyone else. Just him. The news section of the BBC needs a complete overhaul.

Autism is a natural divergence from neurotypicality. It's normal & not the tragedy these clowns are making it out to be.

Transness is a natural divergence from cisnormativity. It's normal & not the tragedy these clowns are making it out to be.

Just deal with people being different than you.

the fact that so many people frame autism as “a problem that needs to be solved” is a constant reminder that being “not normal” isn’t acceptable to a large amount of the world. it’s the same reason there’s a trans panic right now too. they think people are defective

If you, like me, are the parent of a neuro-atypical child dreading this autism press conference, please remember: These are the people hurting our kids. Not us. They are the ones stigmatizing and pathologizing them. They are the ones peddling untested science. And we should be very, very angry.

No words.

The lives of those living in Gaza are deemed less important than maintaining relations with Israel and, by proxy, the US. At the personal level, on Labour's doorsteps, this approach plays out in the most callous of ways. Dalloul al-Neder is a Palestinian refugee from Gaza, who was a constituent of the former deputy prime minister, Angela Rayner.
He got to know her, meeting several times: she visited his takeaway shop in 2019 and posed for pictures, declaring "Palestine must be free". She took him on a tour of parliament.

Within weeks of the genocide beginning, in October 2023, his mother, brother, sister-in-law and two young nieces were killed by an Israeli airstrike. Desperate to evacuate his wife and four-month-old daughter - who had been buried under rubble three times by Israeli attacks - he emailed Rayner twice to seek help evacuating his family. He says received no response.

In January 2024, he attended a Labour fundraiser in Stockport addressed by Rayner and her colleague, Jonathan Reynolds, and got to his feet, clutching pictures of his dead mother, begging her to support a ceasefire, emotionally declaring "I lost my family in Gaza". The whole tawdry episode is on camera: he was aggressively ejected from the meeting and on to the street. Rayner did nothing, except to say "thank you, you've made your point". She then unfollowed him on social media. Days later, she was interviewed by Sky News' Beth Rigby, who framed the incident as an example of the threats politicians face, linking it to the murder of the MPs Jo Cox and David Amess.
Since then, so many of Neder's relatives have been slaughtered by the Israeli state that their names take up three pages of a notebook.

Props to the three young lads having a beer outside a pub on Tottenham Court Road who enthusiastically beckoned over a bloke draped in a St George flag only to tell him “Fuck off out of our town you fat fascist fuck.” Swelled with London pride.
