The EU secured its alliance with Canada; now it is Mexico’s turn. Today’s meeting marks the beginning of a major shift in America, as Mexico and the EU seek to expand trade, industry, and intelligence cooperation while moving away from the decaying US kleptocracy.

This u-turn from Burnham appears to be nothing but a transparent bid for Reform votes, something we could have predicted coming a mile off

Updated guidance from the EHRC suggests that anybody who holds or expresses a negative opinion of people who are anti-LGBTQ+, may be committing discrimination against those whose bigotry is “sincerely held”. Labour are plumbing depths that even Thatcher’s government didn’t dare to.

With the updated EHRC code of practice, the Government is still leaving trans people with a real fear of being excluded from essential services and public spaces. My statement in full: greenparty.org.uk/2026/05/22/s...

Beyond hideous, what is being done to trans people on the UK - by the so-called EHRC, the so-called Labour Party and the so-called justice system.

Big thanks to @sandraduffy.bsky.social for carefully setting out first impressions of what the EHRC published yesterday. While this messy and frightening guidance is in play, I commit to being ready to stand up for anyone trans, or non binary experiencing harassment accessing services.

"Our community is scared and exhausted but we are fighting back." It's important that all of us who stand with the LGBTIQA+ community support the Good Law project in their appeal against the high court decision. Trans rights are human rights. 🏳️‍⚧️ greenparty.org.uk/2026/05/22/s...

The EHRC's Code of Practice has been approved by the Minister of State and laid before Parliament. We hear and share the community's shock and alarm at the proposals. A statement from us: 👇

We get that the @greenparty.org.uk are busy with the Makerfield by-election, but as the only party with explicitly pro-LGBTQ+ policies in England at the moment, @zackpolanski.bsky.social's silence over Labour's new section 28 style guidance is deafening. One single retweet doeth not a stand make.

Today we remember Fusilier Lee Rigby. His dedication to the armed services will never be forgotten. We hold his family and loved ones in our thoughts on this anniversary.

The EHRC’S new code has been published. We’ll have a detailed analysis out shortly. The guidance has been toned down from the previous draft – but it still treats trans people like they’re a third sex. This pushes trans people out of public life and violates their human rights.

She is right and the dinosaurs heckling her should be ashamed of themselves.

There isn't a single water company in England that deserves to survive as a private entitiy. Southern Water has been dumping raw sewage directly into the sea here in Brighton for 3 of the past 7 days despite very little rainfall. datahq.sas.org.uk/sewage-data-...

YouGov's study of the 2026 local elections shows that just 46% of 2024 Labour voters who went to the polls remained loyal, with more backing the Greens (22%) than Reform (6%) two weeks ago The Conservatives retained 55% of their 2024 voters, with 33% switching to Reform yougov.com/en-gb/articl...

Reform’s Makerfield candidate said King should open up Buckingham Palace for asylum seekers

Tomorrow Bridget Phillipson (Minister for Women and Equalities) is expected to launch an all out assault on Britain's LGBTQ+ community, rolling back long established rights and protections to make it impossible for many of us to participate in society. Labour are not a left wing progressive party.

In the UK, anyone can demand to inspect your genitals if they think you’re not pretty enough to be a “real” woman, now

Keir Starmer is accustomed to dodging questions or responding with spin at #PMQs but to hear him brazenly lie as he has today is deeply troubling. The sanctions against Russian oil should be maintained, carving out a loophole for his economic convenience is a betrayal of our Ukrainian allies.

nobody cares about streeting. let him fade to obscurity... before finally being dug up again to face criminal prosecution once ppl notice he abused his position as health secretary so he could deliberately murder a bunch of kids.

Labour: We will ban the "Hate Marches!" Security Minister Dan Jarvis just went full Suella Braverman on Sky News. Labour is a Reform UK tribute act at this point. 🤢

Brexit was supposed to reduce immigration, grow our economy, improve living standards & fix the NHS Not one of those has happened. That’s the Brexit betrayal! Reversing this catastrofuck is so obviously in our best interests. If ignorant people/racists don’t agree - tough, they’re wrong. End of.

We won every seat on Richmond upon Thames Council last week. But that doesn’t mean we’ve changed our mind on electoral reform. It’s time the Government stopped defending a broken system out of self-interest and backed proportional representation.

Wes Streeting, the member for Palantir North.

Imagine being less popular than the PM you're vying to replace. That takes an industrial level of delulu.

Why must a conversion therapy ban be a) "balanced" and b) "Targeted"? a) Is there a "balance" between torturing people and not torturing them...? b) Conversion therapy is torture and it doesn't matter who its victims are, it should be banned for everyone.

A quick explainer for the uninitiated: The so called "LGB Alliance" is in reality an Anti-LGBTQ+ hate group, funded and directed in part by white Christian nationalist elements of the American MAGA, Q, and Project 2025 movements. Here they are advocating for the literal torture of LGBTQ+ people.

A cause for national shame. This is the Rainbow Map for LGBTI+ rights across Europe. Until 2015, the UK was top. We've now collapsed down the rankings - and are the worst in Western Europe. We're now near Albania.

The next Labour leader must move decisively away from the status quo to beat Reform. That means giving power and wealth to working class people. It means a democratic revolution, rent controls and public ownership of water. It means someone who isn't Wes Streeting.

I share the worry of trans people at the prospect of PM Wes Streeting. At Health he ignored the voices of young trans people and restricted gender-affirming care, causing harm to a generation. It is up to Labour to choose its leader, but members must also choose a better direction on trans rights

Because everyone deserves to read this:

A fellow Labour Party member once described Wes Streeting to me as Zippy from Rainbow if he'd been radicalized by Mumsnet. which is a very specific set of references but also disturbingly accurate.

"I don't want to be Prime Minister but we can't let Wes Streeting be Prime Minister" is a message I can back.

A proxy appeal has been received for an account on our Anti-LGBTQ+ Bigotry blocklist. Following a manual review of the account, the posts contain nuance that was missed by our moderator which do not justify a blocklisting. The appeal has been accepted and the account removed from the blocklist.

The new Rainbow Map is out. The UK used to be a beacon for LGBTQ+ rights in Europe, topping the list in 2015, but over the last decade we have dropped year on year. We are now barely scraping a score above the continent’s average.

🇪🇺 Europe is moving to block Microsoft, Amazon, and Google from handling government health, financial, and legal data The "Tech Sovereignty Package" is set to be approved soon and will start a meaningful shift away from these companies.

The only positive outcome we can glean from this morning's events in Downing Street, is that if Wes Streeting continues pushing his limp and slimy coup attempt, Starmer will oust him from the cabinet and an awful lot of LGBTQ+ people will be able to sleep a little sounder.

Lisa Nandy: “I don't think anyone in this country wants to reopen the Brexit debate.” The Country:

Continuity Labour appears to be nailing its colours to Wes Streeting's flagpole today. A slimey unscrupulous bigot in the pockets of US private healthcare giants, who acts in the interest of foreign governments to the detriment of his own constituents. Starmer should stay in place to fix his mess.

Starmer: (2023) "No case for rejoining the EU" (2024) rules out rejoining single market in his lifetime (2025) *refuses* to rule out rejoining EU in his lifetime So I'm not sure we can rely on any statements about what he wants, and it certainly wouldn't unite the left

Lisa Nandy: "There's no appetite for reopening the Brexit debate ... we had a referendum and Leave won." Whatever focus groups she's listening to she needs to get out more. & Leave only "won" by lying & cheating - not exactly a justification for persisting with a disastrous mistake.

There is an outbreak of spam posts originating from a Bluesky exploit which is silently reposting a charitable appeal from hundreds of infected accounts. We have added this specific chuffed appeal url to our watchlist and will be automatically reporting and blocklisting the affected accounts.

This simply doesn’t cut it. Saying Britain should be at the heart of Europe means nothing if Labour keeps ruling out the very steps that would get us there. If Starmer thinks vague words on Europe will keep him in Number 10, he is badly mistaken.

Starmer appears to be doing exactly the same (false) equivalence between Reform and the Green Party that has previously utterly enraged people who have switched their vote from Labour to Green. Spectacularly counterproductive.

If that's the speech Starmer needed to save his premiership, he is sunk. Equating the Greens with Reform will infuriate voters who abandoned Labour. The man who kicked pensioners and disabled people says: "We got the big political decisions right". Incoherent and dull.
