Ok since the worst people in the world are accusing the BBC of pro-trans bias, I guess it's time to talk about how this summer the BBC completely dishonestly edited me to cape for transphobic bullies 🧵

As the BBC carries anecdotal claims from a disgruntled former BBC staffer that it has a pro trans bias here is *actual* polling about trans people's level of trust in the BBC. (The BBC refused to carry the polling, the first of what it is like to live in Britain as trans, because it is "too weak".)

This is pretty damning www.middleeasteye.net/news/pr-boss...

Not only does the UK government waste vast sums of money on demonising those seeking asylum, now it appears that they are complicit in quite a number needing it in the first place. Choosing to save money over a genocide, again. #r4today www.theguardian.com/global-devel...

OpenAI is facing seven lawsuits claiming ChatGPT drove people to suicide and harmful delusions even when they had no prior mental health issues.

The BBC headline with "migrants" is already terrible and plays into the far-right narrative. And the solution to asylum-seekers being exploited by criminals is to allow them to contribute by working legally rather than making them survive on a pittance.

Starmer will literally put people in camps rather than tell Reform and the Tories to do one. Protect the rich, imprison the poor. Nice.

Companies are often forbidden from telling customers when they hand over data to authorities. To counter this, Israel reportedly worked with Google & Amazon on a secret system to alert the government when Israeli data is given to foreign investigators. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

3 things Starmer could do instead of camps in old barracks that would actually WORK👇 1. Create safe, regulated routes to apply for asylum in the UK 2. Let asylum seekers WORK & support themselves 3. Fast track status for people from obviously unsafe countries metro.co.uk/2025/10/29/k...

It is way past time for the UK government & the BBC to get off X & for Musk to be treated as a threat to national security. The world's richest man is using his site to promote civil war, ethnic violence & the overthrow of an elected government. You won't win him over with another conference on AI

Israel murdered at least 46 children in Gaza yesterday because of the *unexplained* death of a *soldier* in Rafah. And this is not understood by the US et al to have violated the ‘ceasefire.’

The page on Elon Musk does not contain the word "nazi" and the only instance of "antisemitic" refers to Kanye West, not Musk himself.

Asylum seekers, housed in hotels in Manchester, are reaching out in their own words to address the concerns of the local community. Please take a minute to read their letter, & share it with the people in your life who need to hear the truth about the people they are protesting.

Good news! The #RentersRightsBill has received royal assent - this landmark legislation will give vital protections to the millions of private renters in the UK. A happy day. Now it's time to tackle the next crisis facing renters - affordability. That must include rent controls.

It’s very important that men aren’t accused of domestic assault cause it will destroy their careers.

"The judge presided over the case without a jury, which is permitted in exceptional cases."

A lot of people outside the UK positing the name of Soldier F. They know his name because it is in Hansard. If you are in the UK, you best not utter it. Who the state protects tells you everything about that state & they have protected him from the minute he started shooting innocent people

Much like Hillsborough, you have to marvel at how Britain as a system is so utterly impervious to accountability: decades of orchestrated bullshit, legal shenanigans and institutional roadblocks, and then one final great rasping fart of “maybe it was elves that did it, and fuck you”.

Every day I hear more stories of how UK schools are actively harming trans kids. It was always variable. It got worse post Cass. It is now getting so much worse post EHRC. It is so bloody simple to support trans kids in schools - they are actively working hard to cause this much harm.

A reminder that Ben Gvir was set to be sanctioned by the United States government in February 2024 but was personally taken off the list by President Biden.

I feel like Ben Gvir personally being in the room when Greta Thunberg was being tortured should be bigger news

"The EHRC’s exclusionary interim guidance has had a devastating impact on trans people’s lives" “Now the guidance has been withdrawn, so should the exclusionary policies that organisations rashly implemented in its aftermath. If not, they could find themselves in hot water.”

🚨This is an emergency🚨 This Government is currently sitting on an EHRC Code of Practice that will lead to the segregation and exclusion of trans people in public life. Use our tool to email your MP: tinyurl.com/scrap-the-bathroom-ban @transsolidarity.bsky.social #ScrapTheBathroomBan

A lawyer representing the Global Sumud Flotilla activists said 150 were still being held by Israel, and 40 were on hunger strike to push for “medical treatment [for] all detainees,” reported the Associated Press. @teenvogue.com

The antisemitic government is scapegoating Jews for an authoritarian crackdown it was planning anyway. I'm terrified.

Buried lede here is that this has come only after the handful of anti-trans obsessives pushing this were repeatedly rebuffed by most pond users who were supportive of or indifferent to trans-inclusive policy, and so resorted to legal coercion to impose their will instead.

Thousands of workers who have fought hard to win employment tribunals are never being paid the money that rogue bosses owe them, with no consequences for bosses but a huge impact on them. Privileged to be working on this project with the brilliant @mellino.bsky.social and team at @tbij.bsky.social

This is really important work… Labour’s Employment Rights Bill may well transform workers’ rights. But only if people can access justice and enforcement of remedies can’t be dodged. Do you really have rights at all, if the barriers to asserting them are so difficult to overcome?

If you use, or would like to use, the Hampstead Heath Bathing Ponds, it is absolutely worth your time to respond to this consultation. www.hampstead-heath-bathing-ponds.commonplace.is

Already seeing wild speculation about the Manchester synagogue attack. Next to nothing has been confirmed. Those baying for blood should question whether they want to play a role in fomenting a repeat of last year's racist riots.

Solidarity with the members of Heaton Park Hebrew Congregation and the whole Jewish community in Manchester after this horrible attack.

The tribunal system already leaves workers out of pocket even when they win. Introducing tribunal fees would only be another barrier to justice.

As Lord John Hendy KC told us, this should be a “wake-up call” for the government. The new employment rights bill relies on tribunals as a way of enforcing rights, but our findings show that this system is "completely undermined”. www.thebureauinvestigates.com/stories/2025...
