@belledejour.bsky.social Alastair has a deid body related question he’d like to ask, but I can’t DM here any more. Can you text me? 😅

The @scottishgreens.org membership is growing because we are bringing hope back to Scottish politics 💚 news.stv.tv/politics/sco...

The EHRC removed the "interim guidance" that has been devastating the lives of trans people for months from it's website. We wonder why...👀

Apologies if you’ve DM’d me, I won’t be able to access them now.

The EHRC has now submitted their draft Code of Practice to the UK Government & it could have a devastating impact on trans lives in the UK. Please write to your MP, supporting our call for full scrutiny & meaningful debate on the Code. Template here: www.scottishtrans.org/codeofpracti...

🚨 REVEALED: Companies have raked in £820bn in profit over the last 6 months 💰 Shareholders of these companies pocketed £662bn in cash payouts 📈 This could ease the cost of living pinch, rebuild public services or be invested in growth 🕙 Time for a #WealthTax @makethempay.bsky.social

Reform Mayor Andrea Jenkyns doesn't like workers having more rights.

Hell hath no fury like a scorned community council. People want their communities to benefit from renewable energy. Right now, they're feeling ripped off by private profiteers exploiting Scotland's assets. @rozfoyer.bsky.social / @heraldscotland.bsky.social www.heraldscotland.com/politics/vie...

I can speak truth to power and win the toughest debates. That's the approach I would take to next year's election campaign and to FMQs as Co-Leader. Vote Ross Greer #1 before polls close midday Friday!

TransActual's new report shows the real impact of the EHRC's interim guidance. If the full Code of Practice becomes law, then the impact on trans people's lives will be even more devastating. Please share these stories, and Trans+ Solidarity Alliance's briefing, with your MP ⤵️

Wikipedia has lost a High Court challenge against the UK Government over verification requirements in the Online Safety Act

The EHRC is not changing course on their bathroom ban. They don’t care what the consultation said. So what happens now? 🧵 archive.ph/inGpF

i wonder if there are any other ways in which international law is being broken with regards to Palestine

BREAKING NEWS 🚨

Most private jet travel should be banned, but short of that it should at least be taxed proportionately to the damage it does to our planet. Under the private jet tax model I proposed for Scotland, that would have been up to £250,000 for Trump this weekend. www.dailyrecord.co.uk/news/politic...

Immigration is a political football. But the truth is: Scotland needs more workers. Here's why 👇 @rozfoyer.bsky.social / @heraldscotland.bsky.social

labour want to ban vpns but it’s adults installing them. this isn’t about protecting children. it’s about state surveillance.

He’s pathetic.

What’s very notably missing is any mention of who and why this famine is happening. No mention of Israel until final line where it calls for two state solution so only mention of Israel is if anything, a defence

A Glasgow representative has called for the council to use its powers to stop a Ukip 'mass deportation' march scheduled for Saturday

oh so labour can overrule the supreme court, aye?

The "Nordic Model" kills.

the UK’s Internet age verification law has led to the effective censorship of all LGBT content on Reddit what a shocking and unexpected turn of events!

I'm running for co-leader of the @scottishgreens.org because I believe we can bring back that sense of hope to Scottish politics. This can be a fairer, greener country, but we need to fight for it. If you share that vision, join the fight today 👇 members.greens.scot/join

Labour have ruled out a wealth tax 🥀 But they're still slashing the social security payments that vulnerable people depend on. Anything to protect their super-rich mates. Want the wealthy to pay their fair share? Vote Green.

She's right. We are. Wtf are we waiting for!!

THANK YOU to @scottishgreens.org members for overwhelmingly reselecting me as our lead candidate for the West of Scotland! I'm looking forward to Cara joining me in Parliament 💚 From cancelling school meals debts to the #SaveLochLomond campaign, I will continue delivering for our communities

Robert Peston who is a fucking useless journalist literally went on TV and tried to equate the racism he faces as a Jewish man with that faced by Diane Abbott.

Rest in piss, Edwin

The UK Govt outlawing of Palestine Action as a terrorist group is authoritarian over-reach. Now with multiple arrests across the UK it is being interpreted by police to attack freedom of speech & arrest protesters for showing solidarity with Palestine. www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2025...

Really highlights that transphobia is about forcing social assimilation to sexist stereotypes.

Funny how much "encouraging pupils to question their gender" sounds like Section 28's "promoting homosexuality".

EHRC guidance delayed until later in year The EHRC said it received more than 50,000 responses to its code of practice consultation. It had been expected to present final guidance to women and equalities minister Bridget Phillipson by the time Parliament broke up for summer next week.

One year into a UK Labour Government and Keir Starmer simply must do better for Scotland's workers. @rozfoyer.bsky.social / @heraldscotland.bsky.social

Mandy is pissed 😡 so am I

Our report, Freelance and Forgotten, shows the alarming levels of bullying, harassment, and mistreatment of Scotland's arts industry workers. Exclusive in Sunday Mail w/ Hannah Rodger. @dailyrecord.co.uk.web.brid.gy www.dailyrecord.co.uk/news/scottis...

You can still fill in the Welsh EHRC consultation! @pridecymru.bsky.social @transaid.cymru

Norman Tebitt described all day by the BBC as as colourful, controversial and a character. All the c words but never the right ones. Architect of section 28, breaker of unions and hater of multi cultural Britain. Cruelty is his legacy

@stonewalluk.bsky.social are actively working with transphobic Labour ministers on the latest version of a proposed Conversation Therapy Prohibition bill When they finally let the public see what they've put together, I'm afraid we can expect to it littered with loopholes and exceptions

Stonewall's new short strategy is out. Not one specific mention of trans people. Not one specific mention of mass segregation and persecution. Not one specific mention of trans children. Not one specific mention of mass oppression and healthcare criminalisation. 1/2

Tebbit was one of the architects of Section 28 which sought to prohibit ‘the promotion of homosexuality.’ This law emboldened bigots and silenced many librarians and teachers, including some of mine. As a gay kid I was left without official support from my school. It was terrifying and cruel.

Taking a direct approach to protest shouldn't constitute terrorism. Anyone who stands for civil liberty should remember this. @rozfoyer.bsky.social / @heraldscotland.bsky.social

Bigotry has never been shocking to me as such but this dinner party fascism where you advocate for the elimination of whole demographics from public life but *politely* so nobody is allowed to call you a cunt feels like it descended from another planet.

good lord
