I share residents concerns about the EHRC Code of Practice and have joined over 100 colleagues in opposing it. I will continue to stand up for fairness, respect, and the rights of both the trans community and disabled people.

If I had a pound for every politician who said they are the party of workers I’d be a rich woman. Reform have shown absolutely no evidence that they are friends of workers. 1/2

One of the big and neglected issues in politics is what (if anything) to do about a public sphere which has ceased to inform the public & instead become a propaganda tool for a few far-right billionaires.

The national grid is systematically failing businesses seeking to maintain and increase employment and expansion plans. Another example of what is wrong with our privatised electricity system in Britain. It acts only in the interests of its shareholders not the wider UK economy. 1/2

The BBC 10 o’clock news says the right wing idea of ethnic minorities being given preferential treatment in criminal justice is likely to become a “growing fault line in our politics” WITHOUT POINTING OUT THAT IT IS SIMPLY NOT TRUE. What’s the point of the news if it doesn’t correct disinformation?

You could simply have Ofcom enforcing its rules on GB News for starters.

Laws restricting social media access to users over a certain age are spreading across the globe—from Australia and the UK to Indonesia, Malaysia, Brazil, and the EU. These policies create serious risks for privacy, free expression, and access to information. www.eff.org/deeplinks/2...

The Supreme Court has today "strip[ped] fundamental human rights protections from potentially hundreds of thousands of severely disabled people" say a group of National Charities for disabled people. www.mind.org.uk/news-campaig...

Very important to remember. Has the UK ever experienced, under any elected Government, as profound a withdrawal of protections for minoritised groups as the unelected Supreme Court has delivered in its recent decisions?

THIS. Do I worry about the effects of social media on my 11-year-old? Obviously yes. Do I think she should be banned from it any more than young men falling into the manosphere on Reddit, middle-aged ladies being dragged into transphobia on Mumsnet, or pensioners radicalised by Facebook? 100% no.

Water companies in the UK concentrate on profit, that's their priority. Supply & cleanliness are 2nd & 3rd priorities. We need to reset these essentials as necessary public services, for everybody, not as financial vehicles for extractive entities to make profits from us, collectively.

Horrific choice, sleep under the duvet and be too hot, or sleep on top of the duvet like a fucking psychopath. “Oh I’m not scared for demons dragging my soul to Hell, why not open the wardrobe door while I’m at it.” Maybe a thin layer, just to stop my soul from floating out of my body

Fuel poverty isn't just about struggling to afford heating in winter - it means being more exposed to dangerous temperatures in summer 🥵 With extreme heat becoming normal, we need to distribute energy fairly so we can all afford to keep cool #EnergyForAll #MakeGreenFair @endfuelpoverty.bsky.social

Section 28 was passed on this day in 1988. It didn’t come out of nowhere. It came from a society where 75% of people thought homosexuality was wrong. It came from a society that believed ignorance was better for children than any knowledge of lesbian or gay lives. 🧵 1/16

If there was an award for the worst social housing landlord in the country, Rochdale Boroughwide Housing would get it. They've left hundreds of flats empty, to degrade, managed decline. While the waiting list grows, tens of thousands on it. Refurb, don't demolish. www.youtube.com/watch?v=sB56...

Trans people have been around your whole life. You’ve been sharing bathrooms with them your whole life. They’ve been in your communities your whole life. They’ve even been playing sport your whole life. And you didn’t care *at all* till a few years ago when every right wing org decided you should

So a trans woman I know, almost 70, now has to use male toilets? Why? She had gender reassignment surgery in the 1980s and has been using women's toilets for 40 years. She has never been a threat to anyone. Will she be safe in men's toilets? Where's the law to protect her?
