I’m seeing the far-right over on ‘the other app’ attacking Ricky Tomlinson for supporting the Coats for Calais campaign seven years ago.
“Protect our own”, they say.
Anyway, here’s Tomlinson donating £1m to help a children’s hospital in Liverpool.

I've been a Green Party member for a couple of days now and the communication from the party has been fantastic. Labour could only dream of engaging their members as well as the Greens do.
Listening to @zackpolanski.bsky.social's speech at @greenparty.org.uk Conference made my mind up: I'm joining the Greens. I left Labour nearly two months ago, and now I've found my new political home.

By using AI, the EHRC has utterly destroyed any glimmer of hope that they would take people seriously. Of course, expecting them to read 50,000 responses in a few weeks would be unreasonable, which is why they should have allowed more time. It's been a farce from start to finish. Shameful.
This will probably get lost in the news today, but a FOI request just confirmed that the EHRC produced no documents in the last 5 months on what prompts it would use to review the Code of Practice submissions.
It's friggin' amateur hour there.

It's a great privilege to have been featured in @attitudemag.bsky.social for the September/October edition. I discussed 'Your Party' not being ready to call itself an alternative for LGBTQ+ people and how the Labour Party needs a new leader.

Ten years ago today, my mum died very suddenly from sepsis. A whole decade without her seems very strange. I was 17 when she died and I still remember that day very vividly. Anniversaries are always a bit tough.

After cancelling my Labour membership (and others, except Unite), I'm redirecting the money: £5/month to @goodlawproject.org and £5/month to @pscupdates.bsky.social. The money I gave to Labour now funds solidarity, justice, and inclusion instead of hate, division, and inaction.

I have signed this open letter. The way this situation has been handled is utterly shameful. M&S has thrown their employee under the bus and allowed her to be disgustingly vilified in the most vicious way.
Another open letter.
This time to M&S.
I don’t have any nostalgic desire to protect this brand. Other undies are available.
And back in the 70s my local store had fuzzy, mustard yellow pillars that gave me static shocks every time I went near them.
Anyone else?

I cannot begin to express the fury I have that this appointment has been pushed through despite concerns being raised by the WEC and JCHR. It flies in the face of parliamentary process and is a huge middle finger to the importance of these committees. Utterly shameful.
@commonswec.parliament.uk and JHRC have been ignored to fuel the erasure of trans folk. This was no surprise from @bphillipsonmp.bsky.social who is the equality minister, who serves only a minority of transphobes, with total disregard for anyone else.
