Campaigning in Greater Manchester today and just running through some life lessons...

Farage calling a by-election on himself might be the most narcissistic thing he's ever done. Using it to cover up his corruption just makes him a weasel. The people of Clacton-On-Sea deserve better.

Watching the Princess Diaries on my flight back home and WOW we don’t talk enough about how much Lily sucks and Mia should’ve dumped her as a friend

I don’t understand how people can run for office knowing they have insane baggage and/or crimes. Like I spent the entire campaign expecting AIPAC to somehow dig up my middle school livejournal fanfic account. I prepared my family for it. I’m still amazed it didn’t happen.

What is Platner waiting for?

Forced detransition is unethical medical experimentation on trans people. It plainly violates the 8th amendment but they want to use trans people to roll back the barest protections incarcerated people have. www.lgbtqnation.com/2026/07/gop-...

even many years into a relationship it’s important to surprise your partner. I just surprised my partner with 20 seconds of sexy interpretive dance while brushing my teeth & when I said “are you into this” he surprised me by saying “absolutely not please spit that out and come to bed”

The NHS was founded 78 years ago today. It was built after the devastation of the Second World War when the country was bankrupt - but when the people demanded a society built on fairness and dignity for all. Today, we must defend the right to healthcare and rebuild our social security system.

Pride is a protest. And there's a lot to protest. 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️ www.independent.co.uk/voices/pride...

The reason these Temu KKK losers only march for 15 minutes at a time (long enough to get their propaganda footage and generate images that a horrified public will endlessly amplify for them) is that they know that if they hung around longer, they'd quickly be outnumbered by their opposition.

If trans people in sports bother you more than pedophiles in politics, your priorities are fucked.

Let's go Sheffield! @boldpolitics.bsky.social with Bimini! 💚🙏🏽

Such a beautiful time in West London Regional Park hearing plans to protect nature and rewild. Great to hear updates on Warren Farm from Kabir & Katie - a few years on from joining their campaign to save it! So much more to be done to protect & nurture it but great progress!

The right are full mask off now. It used be "concerns" about trans groups being allied to lesbians, gays and bisexuals. Now they are openly calling all queer people nonces. Hopefully, this is a wake up call to all the cis queer people who were happy to throw trans people under a bus.

When trans people are under attack, "don't be political" is not an option. And we'll never be silent when a Labour Government are making life impossibly hard for trans people. We see you. And we stand with you. 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️

Robert Jenrick just admitted Reform was funded by criminals but the BBC helped them get away with it. The George Cottrell story won't stop Farage any more than 37 felonies stopped Trump. To hurt him you have to mention Brexit... that's why Laura Kuenssberg never will.

Another day, another Farage crypto scandal. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

The party that claims to "protect women" now wants mandatory pregnancy tests at the border. This is in addition to genital checks for little girls to play sports and criminal penalties for women who obtain an abortion.

Notice how in the discourse over "free speech" hate-inducing speech is euphemised as "offence." Yes I am offended when someone associates me with a predatory threat, but there is something more to it than just being offended. "Offended" sounds like "disgusted of Tunbridge Wells." #r4today

We're constantly told that women can never compete with men and yet Kelsey Pfendler is about to set the record for the fastest solo row from California to Hawaii, beating the men's record by a full week. What an incredible feat of athleticism, endurance, and grit.

This is **precisely** why they’re banning social media for kids. It’s the main feature, not a flaw to them! 😣

Two people have climbed to the top of the Empire State Building antenna. They are holding a banner that reads: “When the power of love beats the love of power, the world knows peace”

Hospital roofs replaced by rockets and guns. Buried in the smallprint - Starmer's defence plan means slashing funding for hospitals to pay for bullets and bombs. Will @andyburnham.bsky.social go along with this?

We should allow asylum seekers to work – so that they can support themselves and become part of our communities. It’s these common sense solutions, not more performative cruelty, that will fix our broken migration system. metro.co.uk/2026/07/01/z...

I think the thing here is that the elite media types at the Times are disproportionately surrounded by wealthier white gay men who tend to want to be viewed separately from the rest of the community due to their privilege. These types have always been gatekeepy going back to John Whyte at the pines.

Wow. What an asshole.

Today, I voted YES to release the names of Members of Congress who used taxpayer dollars to settle sexual misconduct and other misconduct cases in Congress. No more abuses of power and no more hiding behind a system that shields perpetrators. We will always fight for justice for survivors—period.

The fever swamps are cooking up mandatory surveillance of every woman for signs of pregnancy to enforce immigration law.

Guaranteed: 1) Black girls will be harassed and demanded to be tested over and over again regardless of how competitive they are. 2) Winners from public schools will be relentlessly hounded by the parents and coaches of losers at private schools, with the goal of making them quit the sport.

This is a Refugee Tax. It was originally proposed by the Tories, and the only reason asylum seekers could be claimed to 'owe' any money is because they are banned from working. Another cruel Labour policy - that must be reversed on day one by Andy Burnham. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Well done to Dan Wootton for exposing yourself as a deluded violent racist.

Ya know, I wish mainstream movies were as queer as right-wing media scream that it is.

Are you kidding? I was on a date once and I told her a poem and she was like you should do this for a job. The rest is history. No baseball though, wouldn't know where to begin.

You might want to share this, and maybe save it too. "In its attempt to erase trans and intersex people from public life, this document is genocidal in nature." www.lemkininstitute.com/statements-n...

Nigel Farage didn’t listen to voters and he tried to dismiss our legal action – but the court wasn’t buying it. We’ll see Reform in court to get to the bottom of just what they’ve been doing with your data: https://goodlaw.social/cd9q

Old photo: my beloved Yorkshire. Langstrothdale limestone, ancient drystone walls, and the upper reaches of the River Wharfe, on a crisp spring afternoon...

I see foreign healthcare workers are again accused of ‘stealing jobs’ When I was undergoing tests for prostate cancer + a radical prostatectomy, I was treated by numerous hardworking professionals from different corners of the globe. I am grateful to them. I am alive because of them Stop the hate.

To every New Yorker with family in Venezuela: we are holding you close.   The devastating earthquakes this week have claimed hundreds of lives and left thousands more searching for loved ones. If you're able, here's how you can support relief efforts:

Coming from the most corrupt Administration in American history, this is an honor I'll treasure forever.

“I was being told outright that I wasn’t worth protecting," Flint Del Sol told me. The investigator wrote, “We are not permitted to conduct/continue any investigation regarding transgender cases, and that is coming from the chain of command.” www.advocate.com/politics/nat...

Cass is just sticking to her guns because she’s adamant that she’s right out of stubborn pride and arrogance. If she actually cared about harm, she wouldn’t have recommended restricting them in the first place based on overly-restrictive, biased selection of research www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

The 5th place swimmer is now supporting throwing women in prison for obtaining an abortion. So much for being pro women. www.nytimes.com/2026/06/24/u...

I can't remember reading anything more painful than Aiden's mother say she felt as though she had failed him in life and then - when the coroner misgendered him - failed him in death. I'm so pleased we've been able to do something to help.

Should we listen to scientists, or should we listen to fossil fuel interests?

"I was completely cut off, and I felt really abandoned" Gaie was recalled to jail just because the prison service couldn't find an electronic tag that fit her. She was discriminated against because of her age and gender, so we're helping her sue the Ministry of Justice⬇️ https://goodlaw.social/9np5

I think a lot of the online anti trans politics was a byproduct of the attention economy for influencers. It brought attention, clout, followers etc. to be vocally and visibly transphobic. Now that transphobia is so widely accepted again, it's the opposite now and chuds are doing this for attention

Just here to say ICE agent Jonathan Ross shot Renee Good as she was driving away. Sue me.

After years of promises, delays and U-turns, the government has finally published its draft bill on banning conversion practices. Although it has been welcomed as a historic step, broad loopholes have raised serious concerns that it is a ban in name only 👇 www.wearequeeraf.com/draft-conver...

I think we just passed oops.
