Deeply concerning that the Government are considering curbing Freedom of Information requests. They’ve been central to unearthing national scandals and forcing action and justice - like the Post Office Horizon scandal. www.ft.com/content/2c34...

Today marks 78 years since the massacre of Deir Yassin, an atrocity that came to define the Nakba, the ethnic cleansing of Palestine in 1948 to establish the state of Israel on stolen Palestinian land.

a “ceasefire” that lasted 17 hours and killed 254 people in lebanon is not a ceasefire and referring to it as one is inaccurate

Devastating survey results from @transactualuk.bsky.social on the reality of trans+ healthcare in the UK. If this were any other patient cohort, it'd be a national scandal. But apparently trans people don't count.

How much would it cost to bring water into public ownership? The government wants you to believe it's too expensive to do. But that's what happens when you swallow the water industry's 💩. If you want parliament to debate water properly, sign this petition. vist.ly/4xtt8

Where to find the words anymore? What to say when Israel continues to behave like this? And no condemnation at all from the UK Government. They carry on business as usual as if Israel aren't carrying out genocides in both Gaza and Lebanon. aje.news/jf7llm

Yesterday Israel murdered another Palestinian journalist in Gaza Jodie Ginsberg: ".. at least 260 journalists have been killed.. that makes Israel the biggest killer of journalists since @pressfreedom.bsky.social started documenting those deaths in 1992"

Fun fact! There's a whole community dedicated to jailbreaking and modding kindles. You don't need to settle for this. kindlemodding.org

It's been ten years since I planted these Livingstone Daisies in my window boxes. I do nothing to them. Don't even water them. And every spring they bloom and look amazing

Casting notice for UK trans women! I've been working on this passion project with my friends & mentors for years, and we are now looking to cast a young trans actor for one of the lead roles. This is an incredible part, one I hope to help make a future star.

April/May/June come through for SMOKE play touring. Directed by me (Stud Life, Low Rider), written & performed by the brilliant Alexis Gregory (Riot Act, Sex Crimes). Exposing those areas of gay men's lives they don't want you to see. With events sponsored by You Are Loved. youareloved.org.uk/tour

Calling all gay or bi men who work in healthcare or related professions! I’m looking for experts to interview for a forthcoming health podcast celebrating gay and bi male aging! If you’re interested, just leave a comment, or slide into my DMs, and please repost! #DoctorDILF 1/

HONOURED to say my work campaigning for NHS reform has gotten me nominated for Amnesty’s People’s Human Rights Champion 🏳️‍⚧️ I’m genuinely just honoured to be featured alongside these names but if you’d like to vote for me you can here www.amnesty.org.uk/forms/people...

400 dead so far, over 1000 injured, dozens and dozens missing. This is one hour into the massacre. I have no idea what the death toll will be in the end. Also, they have announced “another wave” of attacks coming

"Those on top have discovered an even easier formula for building wealth: buy up the basic tenets of our lives, heap them with debt, and push the consequences on to the little people" 🤑It's time to end the private equity scam by bringing Thames Water into public ownership.

Never forget that Labour politicians will support death sentences for civilians if it helps their careers. youtube.com/shorts/RqiaX...

The Spanish PM: "The govt of Spain will not applaud those who set the world on fire just because they show up with a bucket" In other news Starmer is in the Middle East today.

God, these lovely, peaceful morning hours in Europe before that stupid cunt wakes up.

The attached testimony is a moving reminder that the Iranian people deserve to live peacefully, wake up to wonder what they might do with their days, and take a happy, terror-free interest in the comings and goings of their family, friends, and neighbours.

Banning Kanye West from entering the UK over anti-Semitism concerns then posting about it in a self-satisfied way on on the Nazi app owned by the Nazi sympathiser is just a perfect encapsulation of this government

I have a father and mother in law in Iran. I have a sister in law. A niece. She's 14. She likes silly pink headbands and purses and dresses, just like kids her age all over the world. There are 93 million people like her in Iran. People who do all the normal mundane life things as the rest of us.

The UK must immediately and unequivocally suspend support for the US military. The Government have tried to appease him, then they tried to say they're standing up to him. Words aren't enough - it's time for action.

I can’t stop thinking about the scene in THREADS where a pub TV is broadcasting news about the US doing a coup in Iran that leads to nuclear war while everyone just goes about their business like normal

The world not screeching to a halt when the US killed more than 100 little school girls on the very first day of this "liberating war" led us exactly to this moment

I wonder if those who found it an absolute insanity and somehow "naive" when Zack Polanski suggested that maybe NATO needs revisiting are starting to come around now that the biggest NATO ally is literally threatening to obliterate a whole country over oil.

We're on the verge of a genocidal, nuclear war that our supposed "ally" has said he's ready to unleash. Would it be too much to ask for the Prime Minister to have something to say about it? Or do? Suspend US bases on UK soil now.

Very hard to motivate myself to do chores when there's the very real possibility we won't wake up tomorrow. It's been nice knowing you. Well... most of you

The US military has 22 sites in the UK. Every day long range US bombers are taking off here to drop bombs on Iran. This is a rogue state carrying out war crimes, and threatening more. The UK Government must grow a spine - and stop our bases being used for this war.

meanwhile

Stella Creasy in today's Guardian trying Labours new tactic. Its to keep comparing me and the Green Party to Tommy Robinson. It's offensive, inaccurate and doomed to fail. Labour really are cooked.

Maybe because your complicit in the erasure of trans people, massacring disabled people, genociding Palestinians and the people who are in charge of it all (the labour party) employed some pedophiles to help them do it. Who was there to stop them? Certainly not you.

We should never be forgiven for unleashing this maniac upon the world.

Thousands of desperate people on abysmal UK benefits died during austerity But Nigel Farage wants to cut them even more "The UK does not have a welfare problem. It's got a corrupt politician and corrupt political elite problem. It's got a billionaire problem. Tax the rich." via Frogface Farage

In the 10 years I ran @prideinstem.bsky.social, I had to point out to so many organizations just how anti-science the professional transphobes are. In some cases, those very organizations rejected that very evidence and doubled down on the hate, like "Sense" About Science. 🔭🧪

Again - Brits who are horrified by the actions of ICE in the US should pay attention to the cruelty and violence that their own government inflicts on immigrants here.

Solidarity with striking Doctors today "a deal was taking shape, yet at the last minute the government quietly watered it down, reducing the money on the table, then stretching what was left over too many years to make it worthwhile"

Saw this last night with Sue - it's excellent. A play about the meeting between nuclear physicists Niels Bohr and Werner Heisenberg in Copenhagen in 1941. It contains a good explanation of the complicated physics behind nuclear weapons and felt horribly relevant

Why wasn't there an endless stream of gender critical articles in the newspapers and in social media before 2016? Why wasn't the exclusion of trans people a regular occurrence? Because it was never an issue. It's a totally invented, totally baseless and totally disgusting cult 2/

It's essential that any Code of Practice explains to organisations like Girlguiding that they are fully legally entitled to remain trans-inclusive, and that the Government steps in to ensure that they will not be bullied and harassed into adopting positions contrary to their values.

A reminder that Starmer's government is doing this AT THE SAME TIME as slashing Access to Work and moving disabled people out of their homes - away from their jobs and families - into care homes against their will: www.bbc.co.uk/news/article... This is not about helping disabled people work

American money is pouring into the UK to roll back LGBT and women’s rights – and Nigel Farage is on board: https://goodlaw.social/wsee

Starmer forces entire groups of people into poverty by denying them the right to work. Starmer demonises those medically unable to do do work. Starmer creates barriers and removes access to work. We are not 'workers' we are human beings. Fuck everyone defining us by our relationship to the economy.

You think it's bad here?

Is the Government still claiming the UK isn't involved in this war?

#Lebanon: Around 2pm Sunday, Israeli forces struck a densely populated area in Beirut, meters from Rafik Hariri Public Hospital, where MSF supports an ER doctor. A mass-casualty influx followed. In the first hour: 4 killed, ~40 injured. More feared as rubble is cleared.

Main rate of UK Corporation Tax cut from 52% in 1983 to 19% in 2017-23, now 25%. They told us cuts would increase investment and wages. For the last 30 yrs UK has been at or near the bottom of the OECD league for investment. Real average wage unchanged since 2008. Capital and execs benefited.

You can't "temper" so fundamentally toxic proposals, both for asylum and immigration in general. Labour's "reform's" are utterly inhumane, as well as unworkable, costly and counterproductive. They need scrapping entirely, Mahmood fired, and a complete rethink. www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2026...

Are cis people aware that a large number of UK journalists don't even call us 'trans' any more, they call us 'trans-identifed'?

As someone who attended the counter protest today, I agree with every word of this. The BBC is not fit for purpose
