Any queer zine-makers wanna trade? We've now published 3 issues of @queerdiary.bsky.social zine & we always bring a box of other people's zines to our workshops for inspiration, so yours will be shared widely!

This letter from Tony Vaughan KC, the MP for Folkestone, is the clearest articulation I’ve seen on the flaws of the interim update from the EHRC. The section titled ‘Legal Incoherence’ hits the nail on the head.
