This is just another westminster government completely out of touch with the West Country. They are utterly clueless.

The Labour Government has gerrymandered Devon's new council structure into this utter monstrosity. HOW can you have a single council running from Seaton to Barnstable to Kingsbridge. HOW can you split Teignbridge in three like that?? My old school would now take kids from THREE districts!!!

What’re you doing on 9th September? Will you join our rescheduled mass lobby? The legal framework for our lives is broken, it’s time to push for change: www.transsolidarityalliance.com/post/ehrc-co...

A huge "thank you" to the 598 people who have, in total, donated £30,146 towards the cost of bringing a Judicial Review against the EHRC Draft Code of Practice, which we believe is unlawful, unfair & unworkable. Please donate and share widely. www.crowdjustice.com/case/challen...

ENGLAND!!!

Remember Streeting's review into whether young people are being overdiagnosed with ADHD, autism, and mental health issues? Well, the interim report is out, and there's a reason the media are silent on it (spoiler: it proves what a lot of us have been saying all along)

The Code of Practice will come into force on the 5th August. Here's what that means: goodlaw.social/3b7a2a

What does the EHRC code do, and not do? www.transsolidarityalliance.com/post/ehrc-co...

The EHRC’s harmful Code of Practice is due to come into effect on 5th August. What it means, what it doesn’t mean, what we think needs to happen now, and what you can do: www.transsolidarityalliance.com/post/ehrc-co...

Today I called on our incoming PM to fix our broken politics. If Andy Burnham is serious about changing the way we do things and ending the performative hostility, my door is open.

An appalling state of affairs. Labour officially enters the UKs Trans Bathroom ban into the statute books.

New: the EHRC’s code of practice is set to come into effect on 5th August, after the minister made a commencement order that has now been published. More to follow. www.legislation.gov.uk/uksi/2026/78...

The EHRC have now issued their harmful new Code of Practice ‘in the form of a draft’, per the law. This does not mean it has effect yet, it must go through a process now where the minister can decide when to bring it into force as statutory guidance. www.equalityhumanrights.com/guidance/cod...

Ahh crap. This is a sad one. Brilliant actor, good bloke. 7news.com.au/entertainmen...

Never normally a football fan but omg I get so competitive during the world cup and euros ahaha

Still buzzing from last night's fantastic result in Streatham - huge congratulations to Cllr Alex Davies! Through the neverending heat, Alex's campaign was positive, serious and grounded in community - which is how you know he'll be a superb Cllr (once again).

This is a real shock given I grew up here, and work there when I'm in constituency. Genuinely shocking.

Made scones! And naturally I'm #CreamFirst I.e. the only correct way to do it

Congratulations to Alex Davies, the new councillor for Streatham St Leonards I Lambeth!

Such an amazing result!!

Lib Dems GAIN Streatham St Leonards from the Green Party!!! Such a fantastic result!! So thrilled honestly. Alex is going to make such a fantastic councillor in Streatham! We beat the Greens in Dawlish, and now we've beaten them in their safest ward in Lambeth!!

Such a great evening in Streatham St Leonard's getting the vote out this evening!! Best of luck at the count

🧵Yesterday government published a new version of KSCIE - its safeguarding guidance for English schools and colleges. In broad terms, it is trying to make every school and college adopt the practices of the most unsupportive schools (the schools supportive parents avoid!) tinyurl.com/43rmtczm

This thread is horrifying. Labour's cruelty towards trans people honestly knows no bounds. In this case, children.

Today marks the end of the EHRC Code of Practice’s parliamentary stage - with it set to pass automatically. Read our joint statement alongside @scottishtrans.bsky.social and @transactualuk.bsky.social www.transsolidarityalliance.com/post/joint-s...

Frogface v Binface is the showdown we needed in 2026

EDM 240, against the EHRC’s harmful guidance, has reached 164 signatures including dozens of Labour MPs. Hear from some of them here: www.itv.com/news/2026-07...

Right so he's costing the tax payer tend of thousands of pounds, cutting off his constituents MP support for a vanity project. Right then.

I've been made aware of some rumblings that the Lib Dems reportedly refused to use an opposition day to force a vote on the EHRC Code of Practice. This isn't true for a few reasons, and it's really important not to spread disinformation when we're all already nervous and exhausted.

The chair of the EHRC, our national human rights institution, centring arguments around polling and political popularity on a human rights issue seems… Not good www.politicshome.com/news/article...

Ah, I love having adult money

Reminder: the EHRC Code of Practice is due to complete parliamentary scrutiny on 9th July. It has not finished already, as some suggest, because of how the 40 days is calculated.

This Conversion Therapy Bill is genuinely a breath of fresh air from a government that has been determined to restrict trans rights as much as it can.

My dehumidifier is currently saving me ahah

Ed Davey calls to rejoin the EU Single Market to grow our economy And explains why Free Movement of People benefits Britons Starmer could have done the same, instead he adopted his island of strangers nonsense along with his growth-stunting red lines

EVERYTHING IS FINE. NOTHING TO WORRY ABOUT. God it's utterly depressing watching the world being destroyed by climate change before my very eyes whilst people deny it's even happening.

Dawlish South West (Teignbridge) Council By-Election Result: 🔶 LDM: 45.3% (+6.6) ➡️ RFM: 29.5% (New) 🌍 GRN: 15.1% (+3.8) 🌳 CON: 10.1% (-12.8) No Ind (-27.1) as previous. Liberal Democrat HOLD. Changes w/ 2023.

Reform UK made being anti-trans a big part of their campaign. It was top of their priorities on their leaflet and they've lost 6% relative to the county council election last year whilst lib Dems up 4%. It's clear: Anti-trans politics do NOT win elections.

So delighted to see Cllr Pat Hackett elected to Teignbridge district council, increasing our majority compared to 2025 and 2023. Plus, an absolute landslide for Cllr Gary Taylor in the Dawlish town council!! #WinningHere #VoteLibDem

Dawlish South West (Teignbridge District Council): LDM: 692 - 45.3% (+5.7) RFM: 451 - 29.5% (new) GRN: 230 - 15.0% (new) CON: 154 - 10.0% (-17.2) Liberal Democrat HOLD

Dawlish South West (Town council): LDM: 910 - 71.3% GRN: 367 - 28.7% Liberal Democrat HOLD

Good morning DAWLISH! Today is a great day to vote Lib Dem here and stop Nigel Farage's Reform UK candidate.

We’ve had quite a few abusive and angry emails about this decision. Just to explain it a bit further, this decision was a delicate balance. We knew many people would want to go whatever we said - and would struggle to get refunds on booked travel - when the weather warning was still Amber. …
