Amnesty International put out a major report documenting the influence of UK based anti trans gender critical organizations and their funding. Within hours, GC groups threatened defamation lawsuits and Amnesty was forced to pull it down. Proving the point they're anti rights. Anyways, here it is.

THIS!

we are now in a place where the Church is (correctly) calling the Labour Party out for being hostile to queer folk, so, that’s something else

Don’t know who to credit for this. But it is how I feel.

PSA.

Spent my evening completing some #homebrew jobs - Strawberry Wheat beer transferred to cask and the all-important strawberries added, and my Fruit Salad Wine bottled. Now to sit in the garden in the cool evening and enjoy the surplus wine!

#cofepeeps has anyone ever seen anything like this before?

Sadly I'm going to be away so I'll miss this, but it was such a great event when I went last year. It's so inclusive on multiple levels - I love that it's ecumenical too. ✝️

I enjoy watching the clown show as much as the next person, but I can’t help feeling that all of the major parties going “nah, I’m not touching that constituency with a barge pole” does rather feed into the abandonment narrative the Far Right feed off.

1/2 For me, Socialism has to mean 'socialisation'; not distant administration by civil servants or politicians, but the running of public assets by the very same communities that rely on them. Socialism should mean wide popular ownership, & control, not merely state regulation or state-control.

Just realised it's graduation season so I should probably share these cool pins I make again. They make great gifts and help to fund my transition canopyrobin.etsy.com/listing/1841...

It took me a moment but I don’t think I’ll be able to read Revelation 6 & 8:1 quite the same again. From the back page of today’s Church Times.

Finished reading this today - I bought it a few years ago but decided to read it now beacuse this year marks the 650th anniversary of the Black Prince's death. 💙📚💡

Worth pointing out that I was on the BBC Covid Disinfo team at the time, and we concluded that this and many, many similar claims were weapons-grade bollocks. That was not language we used in our reporting.

🚨 WE NEED YOU 🚨 As a new Prime Minister comes into power, we want to show that an overwhelming number of people support trans people, and want the government to take serious action to protect their rights. Will you say you stand with trans people? And share with everyone you know?

apparently it's time for this to make the rounds again

One of these replied to me earlier - I pressed “post” and it already had a comment on it the second it posted. Classic bot behaviour - but frustratingly it undermines those genuinely seeking aid. 😔

Many will have heard this news already. Thanks for sharing. Following days of speculation of retirement, it's officially confirmed that Humphrey Smith, controversial owner of Sam Smith's, has passed away. I'm called upon to write many obituaries of "titans of beer". This would be a hard one.

This Wednesday I’m leading a parliamentary debate on banning MPs’ second jobs. Yesterday I invited Nigel Farage to come and defend his vast outside earnings. He's not yet replied. But he has just registered £270,000 for 12 hours promoting a gold dealer. That’s £22,500 an HOUR.

Just been updating notes on a spreadsheet at work and when I pressed Enter, Excel’s inbuilt “I know better than you” AI just decided to autocomplete the next 11 rows with hallucinated gibberish including dates ranging from 624 to 2021. 🤡 Fuck off, nobody asked for your input! 🤬

#MorningPrayer May our focus, Lord Jesus, be not on our own image, not on ego-driven conceit, not on raising ourselves over those around us, but on our sharing in and sharing of your love. May our passion be for your justice, for your kingdom, for your peace, for the good of all.

🚨 Breaking news: from today, it's no longer a crime to sleep rough in England and Wales. The Vagrancy Act has finally been repealed. For more than 200 years, this archaic law criminalised people for sleeping rough or begging. But no more.

This week, I'm leading a Parliamentary debate on banning MPs' second jobs. Nigel Farage has already taken over £1 Million from second jobs since becoming an MP. I've invited him to attend the debate to explain why MPs should be allowed to rake in vast sums from second jobs.
