🌹📢 Introducing your 2026 Mainstream candidates for the NEC! Thank you to our members for participating in our ballot and voting to endorse a strong team of determined, progressive candidates for Labour's NEC. This year, let's reconnect Labour with its mainstream.

LGBT+ Labour have said nothing about the appointment of Mary-Ann Stephenson or Bridget Phillipson ignoring the WEC and JCHR to do so. It is blindingly clear that the current committee neither has the confidence of the trans community or deserve it. We need change. We demand an AGM.

For anyone considering it... www.lgbtlabour.org.uk/lgbt_labour_...

If it was a difficult legal decision, you’d have expected them to have made it *before* the AGM was announced, not 24 hours before registrations closed when their Committee positions were in danger of being lost!

The decision that the LGBT Labour National Committee made this evening to cancel our AGM at the last minute is an unprecedented overreach of their authority, will allow them to stay in office longer than our constitution allows and is blindingly anti-democratic.

This is outrageous by the London centric @LGBTLabour I’ve paid for my train ticket from Bristol, non-refundable to keep the cost down. That’s money I’m now going to lose 😡. They can kick the AGM down the road & give themselves more time to organise, but we’re still standing.

Our statement on LGBT+ Labour National Committee's decision to postpone the AGM. We fully intend to contest the LGBT+ Labour AGM. Trans rights are human rights 🏳️‍⚧️

"LGBT+ Labour is not working for trans members, We need a strong, member-led LGBT+ Labour that will stand united with the trans community and more accessible, democratic structures to allow members to have a say.” labourlist.org/2025/07/news...

Thank you for the endorsement @nadiawhittomemp.bsky.social, you're an LGBT+ superstar and we're so happy to have your support 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️ If you're an LGBT+ Labour member, register now for the AGM on Saturday 19th July.

It's a privilege to be standing as part of the Trans Rights Alliance - a fantastic group of people drawn from every faction of our party - as a candidate for the non-portfolio officer position on LGBT+ Labour's national committee. Make sure you register before the 12th July so that you can vote!

We're proud to support the Trans Rights Alliance candidates in the LGBT+ Labour elections - at this crucial moment for the trans community, we need strong voices in our Party fighting for our rights. These candidates will do just that 🌹🏳️‍⚧️

🚨 The news is out! We’re incredibly excited to announce that our two co-chairs and one of our non-portfolio officers are standing for the #LGBTLabour committee this month. Find out more below 👇

** ANNOUNCEMENT ** I’m part of the Trans Rights Alliance slate running for National Committee of LGBT+ Labour. We need our Labour government and MP’s to stand up for trans people. We need LGBT+ Labour to be a strong voice for *all* the community. Please vote for us 🙏

The current LGBT+ Labour National Committee is not interested in securing trans rights. They've failed to challenge Government actions that are liable to lead to the removal of trans people as a class. It's an unfortunate action to take, but I cannot let our future lie in their hands.

I'm proud to be standing for National Secretary of LGBT+ Labour 🌹🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️ Let's transform LGBT+ Labour into a representative and transparent institution, standing in full solidarity with the trans community 🌹✊🏳️‍⚧️ Register before the 12th 🗳️ DM me if you have questions!

Last year we analysed some of Reform UK's tax proposals exclusively for @gurpreetnarwan.bsky.social and @news.sky.com. The tax cuts announced by Reform were both hugely expensive (costing £59bn a year) and highly regressive, benefiting the wealthiest households the most 🧵

Political rhetoric & media misinformation fuel a hostile UK environment for trans, non-binary, and gender-diverse people, leading to increased violence & exclusion. #ProtectTransYouth #UKTransRights #NoToMisinformation equityhealthj.biomedcentral.com/articles/10....

The anti-trans network have dodgy Tufton Street money to fund them. If Labour is to return to the side of trans rights, we need your donations to compete with the anti-trans orgs' reach at Conference. We can make it happen with your support. 🌹🏳️‍⚧️

Georgia, you’re the democratically-elected Trans Officer for LGBT+ Labour. We back you fully. LGBT+ Labour, why won’t you?

A new ‘orbital’ bus service starts next month, linking Redbridge Park & Ride, Oxford Science Park, Littlemore, Cowley, the JR, and Thornhill P&R, without the need to go via the city centre. The Stagecoach-operated 600 will run half-hourly, dropping down to hourly in the evening and on Sundays.

Just so everyone is aware as to why I'm concerned about my rights and place in society being stripped away, here is the new policy document from Meta. It literally has an LGBTQ exception to their policy on calling someone mentally ill. I hope the government pushes them on this.

This is a great read with lots of excellent policy suggestions. Their easy win recommendations for this parliament are: • Automatic voter registration • £100,000 annual cap on political donors • Votes at 16 • An election day service

I'm seeing a lot of takes based on this data, that uses surveys of local councilors of each MP's party. Though it probably has its uses, I'd take a method that puts Zarah Sultana to the right of Wes Streeting with a grain of salt.

"Ten years ago I was Labour’s first trans candidate. Too little has changed since. In fact, respect for the human rights of trans people has regressed." labourlist.org/2024/12/labo...

Thank you Georgia for speaking up when nobody else on the committee would. LGBT+ Labour have become a laughing stock to the people they're meant to represent. We can only turn the tide on anti-trans hate if we speak up. Solidarity 🌹🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️

A new thinktank report says Oxford should be expanded with up to 75,000 new homes, and a tramway built. ‘Creating New Towns Fast and Well’, by @createstreets.bsky.social and @britainremade.bsky.social, recommends the city as one of 13 developments to ease what it says is Britain‘s “housing crisis”.
