This is my shocked face. Look at me, being shocked. And stunned. I am shocked and stunned by this utterly unprecedented happening. Never before in human history has Andy Burnham revealed he does not share the strong progresssive values his supporters project on him.

The last time the UK put up a song that had the possibility of winning we came 2nd (and likely would have been first in diffrent geopolitical circumstances).

If Israel wasn’t run by nutters you’d think they’d prefer not to win so as to Avoid being the focus of controversy

We get it that they are no good at presenting…they don’t have to keep proving the point

I do hope someone is watching that French singer. She seemed quite certain it was important that someone did.

I nearly gave Malta a vote but it would have been for all the wrong reasons.

Actually loved the Eurovision at 70 interval act.

And this year’s winner is….the audience

Now for the song that will get 12 points from Moldova

This better not win. #Norway #Eurovision

Don’t the Italians realise that there are young queer people watching this? Will no one think of the children?

I am shocked at the Italian singer. Surely no one could be as old as 57 and still alive? #Eurovision

Cyprus could have won (because it won’t) if it had just been a bit more

This song has set back efforts for Moldovan reunification with Romania by decades. #eurovision

I must say that this is my favourite song that celebrates Moldova.

What would be fun would be if “Viva Moldova” was actually the French entry. #Eurovision

I don’t believe in junior #Eurovision any more than I believe in junior bake off. It’s creepy.

Wes Streeting is like the only Labour politician I trust less than Keir Starmer so him running for leadership is quite funny. What isn't funny is how he tried to cover up the suicides of 40 trans kids after the puberty blockers ban.

The UK song is not great but it is bonkers so that counts in its #Eurovision favour.

I could see the Bulgarian song joining classic Eurovision songs on my phone .

Malta is going for the gay vote….the alternative approach to a High Energy song by a strong woman #Eurovision

Like wining songs from Lordi and maneskin before them, the Serbian song stands against all which I hold dear in terms of #Eurovision

The Australian song’s chorus sounds as if it could have been a Coca Cola advert in the 1980s #Eurovision

Ukraine will do well in the voting.

My Greek cat, Barbara, is excited that the Greek artist is representing Greek cats.

I find the assumption that I don’t speak Albanian to be quite offensive.

The last time #Eurovision was in Germany i manage to get two (actually quite expensive) tickets for the jury final - but then didn’t manage to get accommodation. Thankfully i was able to gift them to a nice young man (who I met but was a Twitter convention) who was better organised than I. One day.

Sneaking a giant screen into the flagshagger march is one of the funniest things @ledbydonkeys.org have ever done. "STAY HYDRATED" 😂🤣😂

Reform are targeting individual journalists now it seems

If this isn't "designed to stir up hatred" against Jews, what is? Why are the Met not arresting them?

Wow, let that sink in….

Conversion practices are known as torture methods when they're inflicted on straight, cis people. After years of dragging their feet on it, UK governments HAVEN'T banned carrying out torture on trans and queer people.

This is true. Britain has become addicted to the drama of losing PMs and FMs. That addiction will not serve us well.

yesterday was so funny

I mean what’s the POINT of playing 4D chess, merely to get Andy Burnham?!

This is truly heartbreaking to read. Is this what we’ve become?

Dissapointed for Liam.

14 May 1944 | Jane Haining, a Church of Scotland missionary in Budapest became a prisoner of #Auschwitz. She received the number 79467. She perished in the camp on 17 July 1944. Haining was recognized by @yadvashem as a Righteous Among the Nations.

When the Lib Dems left government in 2015, Brtain was No.1 on this index, now we're 22nd. @libdems.org.uk

Do you agree that Britain needs a bolder approach to repairing our relationship with Europe? Support our new crowdfunder campaign and help send a message to the government: it’s time to drop the red lines on Europe.

When I attended the ILGA conference last year there was a closed session with the Human Rights Commissioner for the problem cases: Hungary, Albania and the UK. I think this map flatters the UK and we are worse than it shows.

The people who use these ponds want them to be trans-inclusive. Sex Matters want to tell them who they can and can not have at their own ponds. Time to see them for what they are: a bunch of mean-spirited curtain-twitching Mary Whitehouse busy-bodies. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

It shouldn't be necessary to remind any political party that claims to be remotely left of centre that low pay does not equal low value....

🚨🚨Quite significant recommendation by @ec.europa.eu published today responding to the European Citizens' Initiative ( #ECI) ‘Ban on conversion practices in the European Union' and clearly a win for #LGBTIQ+ rights. ec.europa.eu/commission/p...

The Chamber seating arrangements for Session 7 at The Scottish Parliament have been agreed. ⬇️

i have yet to see a single cis person say something about the fact that the government just designated trans people a terrorist group and threatened to kill all of us.

I think Zack "Good heavens I didn't realise I wasn't paying Council Tax what an oopsie" Polanski and Nigel "Which multi-million pound bung from a dodgy businessman are you talking about?" Farage are both extremely grateful that the Labour Party hit its self-destruct button this week.

As the party struggles in the throes of electoral defeat and leadership instability, Labour's journey on LGBT rights tells in microcosm the wider story of its malaise: instead of standing for its principles and standing on its legacy, it has sought to appease those who criticise it. And here we are.

Well the UK hasn't dropped any further regarding Legal Gender Recognition this year - because it barely has any room to drop. rainbowmap.ilga-europe.org/categories/l...
