hey @bphillipsonmp.bsky.social, @darrenpjones.bsky.social, some light reading for you and the rest of the cabinet you can't deny science forever. eventually you'll be exposed as the bigoted assholes you are and at that point labour's reputation will be completely wrecked stop listening to bigots

That 'relief' quote is from a woman who works for international oil companies. Shameless pisspoor journalism.

Any politician NOT actively doing everything they can to sanction the US (or in the US remove Trump) is not worthy of office and should never be allowed to call themselves a representative, in any capacity, ever again.

2 fascist leaders committing war crimes, one in Palestine the other Venezuela and Kier Starmer is supporting both of them, happily, unreservedly. This man is not just a coward but a disgrace to the UK. He should be kicked out of office tonight and never be allowed office again.

Can you confirm @jessphillipsmp.bsky.social whether Labour's ban on 'nudification' apps will extend to Grok, please?

now we find out if the rest of the world does anything to stop a rogue state, run by narcissists, rich kids, attorneys & podcasters, treating anything or anyone they want like a piñata - i imagine Starmer is in a meeting now checking with his advisors on best way to avoid upsetting the Daily Mail

The US hasn't been on the winning side of a war in 80 years. I hope, with all my heart, that they are beaten senseless again in this one. May it be a costly and failing attempt at raping and pillaging a sovereign nation. I hope also that teh US faces the same international sanctions as Russia.

donald trump is a fascist dictator who is expanding. he's starting with south america bcos he knows the western world would kick up more of a fuss if he started with canada. we'll barely make a squeak about this but if we don't stop him now the consequences are going to be immense.

What's annoying is that the USians had many, many opportunities to legally stop Trump from running and plenty of opportunities to bang him up in a prison cell for the rest of his rotten life. They didn't. And now the world is gonna have to deal with another tin pot, warmongering dictator.

Gotta love how the government that introduced authoritarian internet rules in the UK (to data farm for Palantir) under the guise of child protection are active on a site creating child porn images. It's a great look... Labour, home of the nonce supporter.

Hey, fellow evolutionary biologists: If you support trans rights, like, comment, or repost this. I want to show that transphobes like Richard Dawkins are a loud minority that does not represent our community

transphobia is sexism if you have a penis you must have these characteristics if you have a vagina you must have these characteristics the more transphobic a person is the more sexist they are the more sexist a society is the more transphobic it is this should be obvious but apparently it isn't🙄

Call to action! ❤️ Let’s challenge the harmful misgendering of trans people in BBC/media reporting — join this powerful campaign led by @tacc.org.uk Full details and campaign resources here: tacc.org.uk/2026/01/02/e...

Politicians tried to convince everyone that the NHS was about to collapse because of flu and strikes. Now the strikes have ended and the flu looks like it’s on the wane, and yet the service is under extraordinary pressure. Perhaps the real problem is the politicians 🚨- who have systematically…

NHS England is rolling out software to run our health records from Palantir – a US spy-tech firm that has supported mass deportation in the US and enabled genocide in Gaza. Say No to Palantir in the NHS ⬇️ goodlaw.social/658abc

Remember when Labour mocked reform (specifically anne fucking widdecombe) for being too woke about lgbt people? Don’t worry we’ll remind all lgbt supporting people of it from now till election day.

When you replace people with an abstraction, you make it easier to justify excluding them. That is the point being made. Pretending harm only counts at its most extreme is a distraction, not an argument.

Although interestingly enough look who’s no longer named as a patron on their website. humanists.uk/about/our-pe...

Happy New Year ✨️ We hope the upcoming year is kind to you. We are looking forward to actioning some of our ambitious plans to provide security, stability, and opportunity to our community. A look ahead to 2026 for us: 1/

I'm going to place a bet that Suzanne Moore is also opposed to other hormones that prevent pregnancy being administered to under-16s. Transphobes have been going after Gillick all along.

Keir Starmer's expression is always that of a dog making eye contact while it's having a poo.

still no comment from @humanists.uk on one of their patrons writing an article in the national press calling for the eradication of trans ppl. almost like they don't practice what they preach.

If this boggles your mind it's cos your mind isn't up to doing its job.

As the Starmerites are out in numbers, worth reminding ourselves 1. In 2024, Starmer got fewer votes than Corbyn in the "disaster" of 2019 2. Had Reform not split the Blue Tory vote, Labour would have lost in 2019 Labour are political incompetents

Starmer could do with learning this lesson and telling Trump to shove his chlorinated chickens and his AI nonsense up his flabby white arse.

It would not be difficult, practically speaking, for someone from within the journalist/commentary clique whom Suzanne considers peers, to drop her an email and ask her what the 'killing off' of 'trans ideology' would look like, in real terms, including and especially for those immediately affected.

Let’s be absolutely fucking clear about what is going on here. If a newspaper headline said “this must be the year Britain finally kills off Jewish ideology”, the police would not be sitting around splitting hairs about wording.

It's best to understand that fascists see hypocrisy as a virtue. It's how they signal that the things they are doing to people were never meant to be equally applied. It's not an inconsistency. It's very consistent to the only true fascist value, which is domination.

If Starmer were a DnD character every stat would be a dump stat and Labour would be a bunch of middle sized rats in an inn's basement.

Two recent events - the transphobic style guide, and Robin Ince's being reported as bringing it into disrepute - have done nothing to dispel my belief that the BBC should be closed down. Yes, I know the fascists say they want that too. That's just a tactic to force it further right. I want it gone.

this is a Canadian petition to uphold charter rights for transgender and minority communities if youre Canadian, please sign it. if youre not Canadian, please share it. www.ourcommons.ca/petitions/en...

It is unethical and illegal to repeat animal tests for the safety of chemicals where the data exists or the tests add no new knowledge. So why are we treating children worse than lab rats, when GAC is known to be safe and effective? That’s unethical.

Labour MP's should be seen (and called out for their disgusting levels of inhumanity) and NEVER heard (should fuck off from social media and never be allowed to address any kind of media).

The name "Popular Science" doesn't mean we shift our coverage depending on public opinion. It means we cover relevant subjects that are rigorously researched, reliable, and grounded in reality. And trans lives are grounded in reality. We see y'all. No matter what. www.popsci.com/science/tran...

If you didnt know terfs were coming after disabled people, you werent listening to disabled people. This has always been a fight against removing bodily autonomy from marginalised people. ALL marginalised people, disabled people especially in this case

You completely ignore that Ireland, Scotland and Wales are separate countries. Scornfully dismissing Scottish identity as "wearing a kilt" is an example. Your vision of an overriding British nationalism is ahistorical and divisive especially in Ireland and Scotland.

EXCLUSIVE The BBC has circulated leaked guidance telling journalists to describe trans women as “biological males”. Clarity should not come at the cost of dignity. #bbc #humanrights #journalism #transparency #transrights

For years, S*n 'journalists' covered up the sexual abuse by a famous cis man while telling everybody to hate trans women in order to protect women. This isn't even the first time this has happened. How so many cis people don't see what's happening is revealing.

If you asked all the people that didn't know Walliams was a sick bastard that assaulted women to put their hands up, you wouldn't see a single hand go up. This has been talked about for about half my life and I'm 51... It couldn't have been clearer if he had worn an "I stand with Jimmy" t-shirt.

In light of the Levy Review potentially giving transphobes oversight of medical research on trans healthcare, Trans Safety Network recommend English trans people OPT OUT of their healthcare data being used in research. Information on how to do this can be found in the quoted post and thread.

This is no different to getting someone like Tommy Robinson to comment on every article about Muslim people. They’ve got no business having any say on this. Our healthcare is not for these disgusting Nazi bigots to opine on. The BBC is rancid and as many people as possible should tell them so.

British Quakers are refusing room bookings from terfs as policy. If you were waiting for an org to stand up for LGBTQIA+ rights, and unflinchingly withstand bullying and lawfare, here you go, friends. Good luck to the raging bigots, they'll get nowhere with threats.

*Stop Scolling!* 🏳️‍⚧️ I need recommendations. I am looking for voice coaches, with experience of working with trans people for "Voice Club" We are desperately seeking experienced people willing to be compensated for their time while donating their expertise. I know. It's a tough sell... 1/4

At least they're now being honest about how they dont want us to exist. Better than being gaslit about how theyre genuine concerns are genuine, rather than concerning. It's just nice to know you're not crazy, y'know? 1/2

Don't talk to journalists about DIY HRT.
