The council is developing a new 10 year arts and culture strategy for #Bristol! 💃 As part of this, the council wants input from people and organisations in the Bristol culture scene to shape the strategy🎵 See the link for more deets, closing date is 10th July! 🎥 www.bristol.gov.uk/council/poli...

Scary diagram on how much of our daily lives would fall apart if somehow we were cut off from US tech. Tech sovereignty and resilience is going to be costly! www.ft.com/content/4c3a...

Nearly a quarter of a million cycle journeys in under 12 days along the Embankment have been recorded since the counter was restarted. Given the choice and safe infrastructure, Londoners love cycling. @cs3cs6count.bsky.social

Bored of Deputies showing their true commitment to regressive politics by inviting gross antisemite Nigel Farage to speak at their rally, but not Zack Polanksi, the only Jewish leader of a major UK political party.

- Some of the strongest links to Reform vote share 🚗 Drives to work: r=0.80 💻 Works from home: r=-0.63 Commute vs WFH - an underrated fault-line of British politics?

The ship will go down with the captain Dont you mean the captain will go down with the ship No

Can't wait to see how Labour's strategy of showing open contempt for the people who voted for them while desperately sucking up to people who'll never vote for them in a million years works out.

Yes to the speed limit cuts but the idea of subsidising something harmful (fossil fuel) when there is a physical shortage is just bonkers economics. Subsidise the alternatives instead. www.theguardian.com/business/202...

Hi everyone! 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️ We are back from our hiatus and excited to announce the return of the LGBTQ+ STEMinar, to be held at Queen Mary University of London on 6th November 2026. Registration open! Details and awesome plenary speakers now at: sites.google.com/view/lgbtqst... #LGBTQSTEMinar26

Trevor Project released its annual LGBTQ youth mental health report. The results are shocking. 40% of trans youth seriously considered attempting suicide in the past year. Trans youth who wanted hormones but couldn’t access them were nearly twice as likely to attempt suicide than those who could.

That David Attenborough: Cycled all over the North to collect fossils in his youth. Hates using cars and doesn't have a driving licence. Cycles when he can (see quote). The dominant culture would suggest that's the picture of a loser who won't achieve much in a life.

This week is @transhistoryweek.com - a great time to reflect on the fact that - contrary to what you might think from the current toxic debate - trans people have always existed, across all ages and cultures🏳️‍⚧️🧵 www.transhistoryweek.com/latest/thw20...

On this day in 1933, Nazis raided the Magnus Hirschfeld library in Berlin. The world’s greatest collection of LGBTQ books and scientific papers were looted and later burned, erasing decades of research into sexuality and gender identity. ‘Where they burn books, in the end they will burn humans too’.

I keep seeing the same common theme: the impossible standards placed on anyone advocating changes to our transport system. Question car dependency and you're expected to address every inequality and injustice at the same time; but support car dependency and you'll never be challenged on these issues

“The phrase 'Someone ought to do something' was not, by itself, a helpful one. People who used it never added the rider 'and that someone is me'.” - Terry Pratchett wrote that in Hogfather back in 1996!

@edplowden.bsky.social @bristolgreenparty.bsky.social Please can we have some of these in Bristol.

NEW POSTER: The Road Lobby loves when it’s hard for us to walk or bike to school, work, to get a coffee or some milk. Their profit depends on it. On everything far away, on car dependency, on convenience and choice being illegal. #UrbanTruth #1HourCityConspiracy

Religion has poisoned children's minds for centuries. Big tech are just the latest version of that poison.

It is clear from this policy announcement that Reform are shit scared of @greenparty.org.uk Give these rich people a good kicking!

A big study that was cited as evidence that text generators are good for students has been retracted: www.linkedin.com/posts/ben-wi... www.nature.com/articles/s41...

It seems that Reform are now so scared of @greenparty.org.uk that they are threatening to set up concentration camps in Green controlled council areas. www.theguardian.com/politics/liv...

The same argument used to deny trans people treatment "The investigation found that the ICB had denied women NHS funding based on the risk of “regret”, a criterion not applied to men seeking vasectomies." @transactualuk.bsky.social @theabigailthorn.bsky.social www.theguardian.com/society/2026...

Give an inch… #Motonormativity

Nepotism is an ongoing problem in @labouruk.bsky.social It undermines democracy in the UK. It brings to mind Stephen Kinnock, Stephen Benn and Hilary Benn, but I suspect there are many more.

One for @privateeyenews.bsky.social

Caroline Litman met Health Secretary Wes Streeting and reiterated my offer to brief him on the NHS trans health crisis. Many of Streeting’s remarks confirm the issues I drew attention to in my video on conversion practices. youtu.be/_S5w18sjYLk?...

‘Nigel Farage Is the Architect of the Uk’s Decline and It’s Time for the Rest of Us to Rebuild Our Home in Europe’ The disastrous Brexit experiment imposed on us by the Reform UK leader and his allies must now be reversed, argues Caroline Lucas

Corruption machine goes brr

Severe reporting restrictions mean there are no headlines in Britain. We can't mention the barrister who is on trial for contempt of court or the case they were defending – although it will come as little surprise that it involved the state's determination to crush Palestine Action defendants

@greenparty.org.uk Have you issued a statement condemning this act of terrorism? www.bbc.co.uk/news/videos/...

Take the case of Dr Beth Upton: the political and media elites destroyed the reputation of a wonderful, professional, caring doctor for daring to live her life—harming no one—in any proximity to Sandie Peggie, who we all learned was a rude, racist bigot with no friends. Who is the oppressor!

The UK is still not a democracy while we cannot vote for our representation in the "upper chamber". www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

This is fantastic news and a huge relief. Academic freedom is so important, and universities themselves are best placed to make sure it goes alongside policies to keep staff and students safe - something the OfS has failed to understand. I am thrilled this disproportionate fine has been quashed.

Statement from the Feminist Gender Equality Network on the Ruling in Sussex v OfS and FDU feministgenderequality.network/statement-fr...

FGEN is calling on its members and all those in the Higher Education sector to write the OfS demanding they take action in light of today’s ruling. If this is you, fill in the template letter below and send to: [email protected] feministgenderequality.network/template-let...

LAMBO!!!!!💥💥💥💥 #WorldBollardAssociation

The High Court has just confirmed what many of us knew. The Office for Students fine of the University of Sussex for supposed ‘free speech’ infringements was a biased piece of right wing culture war politics and had nothing whatsoever to do with free speech. Sussex vindicated and the OfS exposed.

Sorry, you're telling me that Kathleen Stock LIED to the Office for Students?!? And the OFS based their decision to fine the University of Sussex half a million pounds in part on that lie!? I am shocked! Shocked I tell you! I never could have predicted such a thing might come to pass!

Of all the bizarre things people have made up about me online, the funniest - which I discovered today - is someone accusing me of being a Christian.

The only reason British politicians are doing God is because there's "God money" in it from America

Authoritarianism demands absolute conformity to function and any deviation from their imposed status quo is a threat to their existence. Trans and neurodivergent humans are, by nature, a threat to authoritarian existence. I’m personally happy to pose a threat.

Going after Parkrun – a non-competitive event which has no changing rooms – perfectly illustrates that it's never been about fairness in sport, women's safety or anything else. It's about bullying and demonising trans people, hounding them out of public life in every space possible. It's disgusting.

“The idea that MPs can go for a drink and then make decisions on 69 million people’s lives - and not be doing that sober - will seem very strange to the public.” Zack Polanski on Westminster’s drinking culture on Sky News.

Thing is, I don’t even believe Labour will do this. It is clearly a desperate move ahead of a local election round where their canvassers are hearing time and again about Green ideas like rent controls. Can absolutely predict this idea will evaporate in the first post-election cabinet meeting.

The reason we’re even discussing alcohol in parliament is because a working class woman who would have been sacked if she ever showed up to work drunk has entered the halls of power and has seen first hand that people who went to private school and run the country don’t face the same consequences.
