Along with over 50 MPs and Lords, I have written to the Justice Secretary calling on him to meet immediately with the lawyers representing those on hunger strike.

Lives are at risk. Time is running out.

The Justice Secretary must act without delay - before a tragedy occurs.

Trans women and girls are being excluded from services across the UK that they've used for decades because of legal pressure and targeted campaigns.

We explain what just happened, and why blanket exclusion is a choice, not a necessity.

In one of the richest countries on Earth.

Under a 'caring Labour govt'.

175000 children don't even have a home.

While politicians mix with billionaire financiers.

1789 has arrived.
New Shelter research shows the housing emergency is damaging children’s education.

Over half of teachers work in a school where children have been homeless in the past year and 175,025 children now live in temporary accommodation.

This must change. www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/home...

Fun fact, Kenwood Ladies' Pond and its actual members voted to allow trans women to use that space

Sex Matters, who don't use that space, took issue with that. Nothing says feminism by telling women you know what they want more than they do

Gaza, Sudan - Where there is a genocide, Labour is there.
Reports from @amnestyuk.bsky.social clearly show that UK-made components have been found in weapons in the awful conflict in Sudan. But this government refuses to act. Once again, the minister refused to acknowledge the reality of the situation when I confronted him yesterday.

What happened in Bondi is appalling, and the same thing happened the day before, the day itself, the day after and the day after that in Gaza, and that's not even reported at all anymore because genocide has been rebranded as 'ceasefire.'

Swinney is a pal of trump

Remember thatwhen banging on about snp being the only option
While trump is acting out his fascist dictator fantasy in america, starmer continues to brown nose him

I wonder if starmer would accept an invitation to visit kim jong un too🤔

And why is this fascist dictator allowed in scotland in the first place?

The NHS has very much been privatised by stealth in the last 30 years and people don't realise just how much of the NHS budget is going straight into billionaires pockets as profit.
The biggest problem the NHS is suffering from is Privatisation

They are wasting tens of billions of pounds of their budget on renting their own properties, paying ripoff rate loans (that Government could get 3/4x cheaper), and paying upto 3x as much for privatised services.

New article from me in response to Eduardo Porter's article in The Guardian where he built a straw man of universal basic income to light on fire again, just as he did back in 2016, showing he's learned nothing new about UBI in a decade but is still happy to opine about it.

I'm sort of relieved to hear this. The last thing British troops need is a fifth columnist in the ranks.

Why is the far right triumphing across the West?

Because ordinary citizens are told they're trapped in a zero-sum game - competing with migrants for scarce resources.

This is a lie.

A failed economic order is to blame:

Listen to me, BBC. You don't pay American lawyers to defend you.

You don't, ever, pay a single cent to this foul, deranged, lying piece of filth. You pretend #Trump doesn't exist. (If only).

To put it as clearly as possible, you say "fuck him"!
