🏳️‍⚧️ Showing support as #TransAwarenessWeek begins - check out Trans In The City’s initiative, #IStandWithTrans

Working in the LGBTQ sports space and amplifying our Football v Transphobia campaign has brought so many awesome trans and nonbinary folks into my life, for which I’m always grateful

This morning the Chancellor spoke of difficult decisions for everyone but the ultra-rich.

It’s time to tackle the cost of living crisis, end child poverty and invest in our vital public services by taxing extreme wealth fairly.

My open letter to Rachel Reeves (cc @ofcom.bsky.social, DSIT)

Now O2 has broken the taboo, the big risk is other firms will likely follow suit... the Govt must step in to stop mobile, broadband and pay-TV firms increasing prices mid-contract by MORE than they said they would when people sign up.

Important.
@transactualuk.bsky.social have released a new report about the harm caused by the Supreme Court misjudgement & the EHRC's interpretation of it.

It shows how the ruling & interpretation is also harming cis women. Those it was supposed to "protect".

@zackpolanski.bsky.social has supercharged The Green Party and it is refreshing to see a politician that is out there talking facts and standing up for us ALL and not resorting to divisive language! I can’t wait to see more from him and the Green Party!

Yet another dismissive, party-political answer by the PM at PMQs.

The disparity between the UK's wealthiest and poorest is growing every day, with millions struggling with cost of living.

When will the PM accept that the problem in our country is inequality, not immigration?

Right now, The Greens are the only progressive voice to be heard in the UK. And the only party actually providing an opposition.

Time to take on the Daily Mail and this Labour Government.

Let's keep growing our movement with the joy of knowing we all deserve so much better - and we can make it happen.

Over 50,000 cis women have signed the @nionwomen.bsky.social open letter rejecting the narrative that trans women are a danger to women.

The real threat to women has never been trans women. The real threat to women is male violence.

The war on drugs has failed.
It punishes those with addictions, drives drug sales through the black market and ultimately kills people.

We need to grow up and make what’s so obviously the right decision.
We need to stop criminalising drugs.

Come along! Or please repost; you never know who it might help 🙏
Come along on Saturday (18th Oct) and play some games with people who, like you, can’t remember the rules or whose turn it is.

If it’s not for you, remember 1 in 20 of your followers have #ADHD, but most don’t know it.

You reposting this might be how they finally get help.

📍1:30-4:30 at Hillhead Library (follow the signs)
❓Good chance of a cheeky pint somewhere afterwards
💯 Certain chance of a fun afternoon with lovely people

PS: Yes, we forget the rules all the time 😂

So refreshing to hear UK politicians like @zackpolanski.bsky.social @carolinelucas.bsky.social being honest with the public on the war on drugs.

It has failed. A different approach is required to remove criminality, regulate supply, supervise, and treat users as a health issue - not a criminal one.
“The War on Drugs has failed… more people can get drugs more easily than they can order a pizza”

Caroline Lucas, former Green Party Leader, defends the party's policy to legalise all drugs, adding that regulation takes them “out of the hands of the criminal gangs”.

Reform candidate visibly squirms as he's confronted by a local family in Caerphilly.
👏 "We've lived here all our lives. And I have never felt so unwelcome in my own hometown as I do since your party came into Caerphilly."

"With all the rhetoric that you bring in, I have to say to my sons, please don't go there. Please don't do this."

"I blame you for that."

I'm not ashamed to say that I cried like a baby and clapped like a demented seal at this part.

To see the old girl in action like that taking on the Borg Cube, Beverly kicking arse, the reactions afterwards.

It was all to much for my nerd heart to take and an excellent send off for the crew.
