Perfect finale to #Hacks #NoSpoilers. Original and unexpected for 5 seasons right up the very end ❤️ Something that can entertain while prompting a whole load of important conversations is powerful storytelling.

We have sued the NHS for direct discrimination for refusing to treat a woman who was in pain because she is trans. A reminder: Badenoch publicly boasted of sticking trans-haters into key NHS positions and Labour has cheerfully played along.

Old housemates, old school friends, family members, - they even asked a local launderette for an itinerary of what I've had washed! All this from billionaire owned media because they don't want a party to continue growing that challenges power & wealth. Join.greenparty.org.uk

None of this would be happening if Kamala Harris were president. None of it. And we fucking told you so.

Marks and Spencers (and other places, quite frankly) should think seriously about protecting their staff from insane harassment and doxing by prohibiting the videoing of staff in their stores, which are private businesses not public spaces.

This abuse from James towards a shop worker not putting up with a fake customer’s performative outrage is wonderfully ironic given he made a career (so much as it was) out of being sneering, patronising and prissy. Lord spare us from these tedious pull-the-ladder up gay not queer types 🙄

Hampstead Heath has 3 swimming ponds, it also has a lido. This isn’t one of them. This is a pond explicitly marked as ‘no swimming’, it’s full of wildlife including nesting birds. It’s meant to be a quiet space for the inhabitants to thrive. Instead, they have to endure these selfish c***s 🤬

So, theoretically, could a 'GC' person join any group that has a similar upcoming vote and be the one person who decides on the entire groups' position?

As I reported last week....five people also abstained. 55 votes total. 1 in favour.

London friends (and visitors thereof), do you know if there's a food market type thing at the north side of Trafalgar Square at the moment? I can't see anything online about it but was sure there was something a few weeks ago...

@gunkle.bsky.social , is Truffle a good sausage catcher? 😊

Section 28 was passed on this day in 1988. It didn’t come out of nowhere. It came from a society where 75% of people thought homosexuality was wrong. It came from a society that believed ignorance was better for children than any knowledge of lesbian or gay lives. 🧵 1/16

‘Kind of humiliating’: trans community responds to EHRC’s new code of practice For some transgender men and women – and the campaigners who support them – the updated guidance confirms their worst fears www.theguardian.com/world/2026/m...

So what happens when Reform take over your local council? This. #KentCountyCouncil

Is anyone collating responses to the Code of Practice from MPs and organisations? It’s beyond time to stand up and be counted… …so my expectations are low.

TransActual are an organisation that does not say things lightly. This is a damning criticism of what Labour has allowed to be done to the trans community. There is no dignity or respect in any of this, and saying those words does not make it any better… @sarahowen.org.uk @commonswec.parliament.uk

What’s the point of downloading content on the Disney+ app if you still need an internet connection to get in? It’s not really offline viewing is it? And this is bullshit, it’s every time I use it so that’s once a week atm…

While it appears that the government has successfully pushed back on some particularly harmful elements in the previous draft, the new Code of Practice will still lead to the exclusion of trans people from services and facilities that they have used without issue for a very long time. [1/5]

Teenage boys get non custodial sentence for rape, but cheer yourself up by knowing that trans men and women who just want to go to the toilet have been further dehumanised and alienated www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Sarah, I’m a trans mum, my 3yo has many activities and loves me, should I be able to continue to take her swimming? Or does a gender critical persons right not to see trans people trump that? What about her first school play or recital, should I miss those because there are no loo’s in safe in?

So the new guidance says that you can challenge someone sensitively, but that you can’t challenge them at all 🤪 And organisations need to create third spaces which could ruin businesses who either can’t afford to or who occupy old buildings and aren’t legally allowed to?

According to the Telegraph, "New government guidance has said that transgender people should not be asked what sex they are before they use lavatories or changing rooms."

It can be true both that the Statutory Guidance is less bad than the EHRC wanted it to be (in large part because of our case) and still terrible and unworkable: for trans people, for businesses trying to do their best, and for those who don't want to conform to patriarchal gender norms. /1

Labour has decided that they stand against the LGBTQ+ community. So be it

So, a person can be deemed unworthy of entering a ‘single-sex space’ based on the subjective opinion of a stranger and there’s no proof that’s good enough? Sounds like the courts are opening their doors for a ton of litigation.

The Boys finale certainly lived up to expectations with a pretty much perfect conclusion to (nearly) everyone's stories. There's a conversation to be had about the gratitituous violence (and the most bizarre kink) but given the comic book nature, and superheroes originated in comics, it made sense.

The news that Jane Adetoro, Christina Walter and Becky Walter were three sisters visiting Brighton is truly heartbreaking and, along with so many residents, my thoughts are with their father Joseph today. Police are asking again for any information to help everyone learn more about this tragedy.

How is this 20 years ago?! 🤯 metro.co.uk/2026/05/17/l...

Has anyone experienced on-stage seating for a show before? I see the RENT revival in London is doing it later this year and I’m intrigued!

"No watchdog appeal in University of Sussex free speech row"

So the United States will legally become a kleptocracy.

The regime is trying their best to prevent this from being seen. Donnie was convicted of sexual abuse before the NY law was changed. He would today be convicted of rape. Of course they want to cover this up as the appeal goes to the Supreme Court to stop his payment. youtu.be/0hgeVJK3nno?...

Ugh, the BBC has no imagination. I don't mind any of these presenters and will happily watch them in many things but this feels like a wasted opportunity. I guess Emma will be ok in the Tess role but Josh and Johannes aren't a great replacement for Claudia. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

The thought occurs that with this new proposed helipad, plus the ballroom, plus paving over the Rose Garden to make a patio, amongst the other renovations he's instigated that Trump has no intention of leaving the White House in January 2029. www.independent.co.uk/news/world/a...

This is the third time I’ve seen this clip of Badenoch and it’s more angering each time. Our politicians are climbing over each other in a desperate race to the bottom 🤬 We deserve better but ‘we’ keep voting for these utter horrors.

This is one of the most annoyingly stupid opinions that keeps cropping up. When it comes to art promoting bigotry, it doesn't matter if the targets of the bigotry, or those who disagree, consume it or not, the point is that OTHER PEOPLE consume it, and are sent away more hateful than before. 1/

Anniversaries are strange things, it's just another day after all. It's been 19 years since my Mum died, so that 6,940 days. I'm not sure day 1 feels much different than day 6,940 really but life moves on. Here's her in a very early 70s dress and me looking grouchy in Torquay 😂
