Same day as us in Manchester, 12 noon at Peter Square. Let them know.

No compliance. Ever. Our trans siblings, we will fight for you.

Kirklees can't literally mean "Church dregs", can it?

The EHRC guidelines are being used to scare us, but the practical reality for trans people in the UK isn't what the media claims. Most businesses just want your money and won't risk a lawsuit to please a few nosy bigots. Stop choosing fear. youtu.be/WllrLnaDwHE #EHRC #TransRightsUK

The guidance issued yesterday is a disgrace, and shows just how low Labour have sunk since the days when they believed in equality and human rights. But this is far from over. Legally, politically and practically, this can and will be fought. greens.scot/news/ehrc-gu...

If I'm honest. The reason why I think gender critical belief was allowed to become a protected belief is that it is the default belief of the patriarchal cisgender citizen. And one of the reasons why it shouldn't be protected is default beliefs (ie prejudices) have plenty of protection already.

Some good news

Once again I repeat my motto: "Don't comply in advance, but also, don't cry in advance."

The Green Party candidate for Makefield has just pulled out citing "personal and family reasons". He was selected last night. The party is re-opening nominations this evening for the upcoming by-election.

This is the fault of the Labour leadership. You may not feel it matters, but phrasing it as 'people going to reform ' allows the right to impose more right-wing policies, which will further alienate their voters.

Although YouGov voting intention data shows that Labour are losing roughly twice as many voters to the Greens than to Reform UK, most Labour party members believe that voter losses to Reform UK are a bigger threat to the party Losses to Reform bigger threat: 53% Losses to Greens bigger threat: 15%

The EHRC guidelines will make zero difference to (most) people. If no one has challenged you no one will, either you pass or the place doesn't give a fuck. And even if it does there is fuck all you can do about it. All you are doing panicking is the transphob job for them.

It appears I can't make coffee before I have coffee

Fuck's sake

Same old Labour

Wealth is increasingly concentrated in the hands of a tiny few, while we're told there's no money for essential public services like the NHS. By developing a Scottish Wealth Tax we could make landowners, polluters and billionaires pay their fair share towards the common good.

16 seconds in she is told by a heckler to 'get a life' is this how MPs behave? Disgraceful conduct and share lack of respect.

Given that the 31 Labour councillors and the 31 Tory councillors on Barnet council teamed up against the 1 Green councillor while awarding themselves top jobs last night I think it's clear where Labour stands on "progressive alliances": against progressives.

Listen to how outraged all the MPs are when they are told they shouldn't be allowed to drink unlimited discount booze at work. It's time to get rid of this ridiculous benefit and all the MPs who support it.

www.bbc.co.uk/news/article... Can we stop airing our internal grievances in public. If it's that big a deal (and I totally accept it maybe) you should resign and then go to the press. FFS all this does is give the right wing media ammo to attack us.

TBF I believe Scottish Labour's currently involves looking at the amount they have donated.

Hopefully, this will be optional, as having random email read out could be quite embarrassing. OT but the amount of people on here who can read long emails with our being distracted and don't give a shit about the rest of us. Pisses me off.

An islamophobic terrorist attack by transphobic right-wingers is being blamed on trans people on Twitter, because of course it is. Being on twitter means being steeped in hateful disinformation at all times.

Westminster by-elections scheduled for the 18th of June following the election of the SNP Stephens as MSPs: Aberdeen South (Flynn), Arbroath and Broughty Ferry (Gethins). That's a week before George Street/Harbour by-election. Which is in Aberdeen South. So err, turnout for that has just been sunk!

Conversion practices are cruel, abusive, and have no place in Scotland. They should have been banned years ago, and saved thousands from the long-lasting harm they cause. It's time for the government to finally deliver a full ban.

EXCLUSIVE: The Scottish Government should just 'get on with' bringing in an LGBT+ conversion practices ban, a charity boss has said

Sixty six Labour MPs have tabled an amendment to the Representation of the People Bill, calling for the Government to "get to grips with the broken First Past the Post voting system" Tabled by Alex Sobel MP, the amendment would push the Government to set up a National Commission on Electoral Reform

Saying the country is broken because we’re addicted to booting out Prime Ministers is like saying it’s raining because we’re addicted to taking our umbrella with us on walks.
