According to the KC appointed by Daniel Kebede’s NEU, there is no “transphobia, bullying or anti-semitism”.
The KC who says this is the same one that has advised transphobic organisation ‘Sex Matters’.
According to DK she has ‘a strong record of making practical recommendations’ 🤔

Always good to see ‘committed trade unionist’ Paul Embery siding with the Free Speech Union.
Yes, the organisation likely* funded by Tory donors, 55 Tufton Street and anti-abortion campaigners.
* subject to confirmation, if the so called FSU ever tell us where they get their money from.

Reform have nothing to offer the country, so they resort to divisive rhetoric instead.
Labour are getting on with fixing the mess left by the Tories 1.0
Reform are just version 2.0 of the Tories
Labour are tackling the real issues, like the cost of living and improving the NHS.

Perhaps you could get the ‘Bristol Green Party Letter Writing Department’ to send something to your leader Zack Polanski and ask him to come off twitter*?

With lower interest rates those people with mortgages in Bristol NW are better off.

I can only influence certain people in the Labour Party, I’m not all powerful. But as a local politician I can hopefully make representations that will be noticed.
Labour4TransRights are doing fantastic things & have the support of many MP’s & TU’s, as witnessed by our packed out solidarity rally.

Of course it’s political.
My point was that Polanski finished his post about the abhorrent killing of a woman by referencing the cost of living. If that’s his style, so be it. But I think Labour are starting to make inroads into tackling the CoL.

Can you explain to me why Zack Polanski finished his post on the abhorrent killing of a woman with a comment on the cost of living?
Here’s a list of what Labour have done so far on the CoL, more to do.

After years of Tory/Lib Dem austerity (of which Cllr Williams was a part), this Labour Government have increased funding to Bristol City Council by £161M up to 28/29.
Protecting the funding of libraries is not the same as committing to keep them all open. I will not let Southmead library close.

Please explain why you thought this abhorrent killing in the USA has anything to do with the cost of living in the UK?
It doesn’t - that’s my criticism of your post.

Southmead residents spoke to BBC Radio Bristol about van dwellers on Lanercost Road in Southmead. Imposing things with poor consultation appears to be a theme with this Green led council.

Bad news for all those who want to ‘erase trans ideology’. Been out, had a couple of drinks, wee’d (twice) and had a very ordinary evening out.
See you in 2026.

The gender critical movement:-

“This must be the year Britain finally kills off trans ideology” - SM, The Telegraph
They want to erase people like me from society. Ain’t going to happen.

There was one thing missing from the PB debate today - a trans voice. More than that, a trans voice who knows people who took PB’s and have gone on to lead happy, fulfilling and successful lives.
