The Forstater case broke something fundamentally in our democracy and nobody cared because it was happening to those fucking trannies at the time.

An interesting piece. I personally have mixed feelings about the broader issue - a few years ago a man did try and grab my neck (seemingly well meaningly!) and while nothing bad happened, anecdotally this sort of stuff happening is is a worrying trend. But I’m wary of “bans” being the answer l

Has anyone noticed there has been a very distinct online radicalisation of pro-Israel types? It seems to really overlap with people who’re GC too? Often middle aged and older middle class professionals

Quite annoyed by analysis that only talks about Labour on a left-right spectrum based on its economic policies and completely ignores their social policies. Under the same analysis Reform spend half their time campaigning as a left-wing party. It's nonsense. You can't ignore social policy.

Is there a non transphobic summary of the Darlington nurse case I can read anywhere? Deliberately avoiding mainstream coverage for mental wellbeing, but I’d be interested to read the basic facts somewhere

The “let’s write up my most recent Twitter argument into op-Ed form about what it means for Society” really never died did it?

In this piece, admitting the BBC has broken its impartiality rules re. trans people, the BBC further breaks its impartiality rules by changing a quote saying "trans identity" to "trans ideology".

It’s hip on the left and right alike to hate “liberal feminism” (a term I challenge detractors to define—usually the “liberal” is silent). But the fascists of our moment hate nothing more than the actual liberal feminist ideal: a public sphere where women are equal. www.nytimes.com/2025/11/06/o...

Half of the UK media’s opinion writers are one wine fuelled column away from this.

I was going to make lunch and then I had a craving to eat a cookie, and thought oh I’ll wait until after. Then I realised I’m an adult and now I’m just having the cookie first. It was all worth it for this x

I didn’t realise Bluesky accounts with 100 followers and a couple of out of context statement by Zack Polanski were “the British left”, goodness we really are in worse shape than I thought!

"most dem victories where centrists" i say later in the 🧵, i'm not claiming this as a victory for either normie dems or socialists it's a victory for opposing fascism & not trying to appease it (which comes in both lib & left variants)

This is the fearless journalism Britannia deserves.

Centre-left British moderates on Bluesky: a heartening win for Mamdani, a man I admire and would definitely not campaign to have expelled from the Labour party if he lived here. Centre-left British moderates on X: New York has fallen to Islamists. You'd all better start reading about "Taqiyya"..

This needs more attention: Zohran SPLIT the straights with Cuomo. ALL of his margin was from LGBTQ+ voters. Every Dem who ever said “we should abandon the transes” needs this shoved down their fucking throat with a ramrod.

These pompous posts are so silly every time this line gets trotted out. Is it really surprising that the dominate cultural power across the globe, who shares our language, who’s elected as Mayor of the media capital of the world has tremendous cut through?

today's Labour party posting versus yesterday's Labour party posting:

… Lord Filkin when taking the GRA through Parliament in 2003 (speaking about the effect on the SDA, the EA, predecessor) and Vera Baird when similarly handling the passage of the EA in 2009. I post both below.

Why do UK centrists who HATE the British left love America leftists lol? It’s so weird seeing very similar dynamics happen on both sides of the Atlantic, but British centrists seem to think they would support the left in America? What’s going on there? 😭

I love when leftists think they should be allowed to have a little transphobia as a treat.

Well this is depressing and familiar >> I scored 90% on Have I Got Phobia For You. Test yourself here www.higpfy.co.uk

The thing is actually we don’t have to “accept it”. We don’t have to shut up and submit. People often say that trans people use hyperbole when we assert that we have a “right to exist”. But this is why we say it. We have every right to be disruptive, disobedient, and to have a voice.

Can’t think of anything more “comradely” than advocating segregation 🤡

Look I’m a big fan of Zack. But I really don’t think he should be getting into Bluesky debates with randoms, and I do think he could stand to log off a bit. It’s the same reason I think MPs should let their staff run their social accounts entirely - politicians should not be beefing on social media

I don’t know what the trans org groups are thinking, but I do think from a strategic standpoint it’s time to start pushing high profile political allies to put forward the argument to amend the Equality Act and clear up the SC mess.

These horrible people really thought they could just keep hurling money at court cases until they got their way and then society would rise up to applaud them, reassure them that they had always been correct and then the public would collectively crack down on people they hate.

Piers Morgan is as angry about Glamour honouring trans women as he was about Eastenders showing two men kissing in 1989 and for exactly the same reason.

it will be wild if the only reason the UK doesn’t fully implement the trans segregation policies its own equality regulator is proposing is that segregation is expensive for businesses

Omg!!! It’s not over yet

Does anyone know what’s actually happened to the EHRC code of practice? Has Bridget Phillipson dropped it down the back back of the sofa?

This is horrific, but it is kind of crazy that in the UK under a *Labour government* we are actually ahead of Trump’s America on this.

Wikipedia says Shaheen is an academic. BBCQT implies you can’t trust what she says b/c she’s an ‘activist’. Someone who Wikipedia calls ‘a former academic’ who now campaigns for Reform & wants to be its first Home Secretary is an ‘academic & author’ who you can trust. Maybe they use Grokipedia now.

There's a big gap between "the right of Labour cynically weaponised antisemitism for political purposes under Corbyn" and "there was no antisemitism in Labour or the wider left, it was all a conspiracy" and there are way too many people revealing themselves to believe the latter tbh.

This is something that's really been troubling me too. It's also suspect how some Your Party supporters seem to have become especially antagonistic towards the Greens since a Jewish leader took over, and how much they're framing him, over any other politican, as being deceptive and a fraud.

We believe Policy Exchange's anti-trans campaigning is in breach of charity law. So we've complained to the charity commission 👇 goodlawproject.org/policy-excha...

Farage's motion on leaving the European Convention on Human Rights failed: 154 votes to 96 All 4 @greenparty.org.uk MPs voted against it, because we believe international agreements on human rights are a good thing. But only 63 out of 401 Labour MPs did: votes.parliament.uk/votes/common...

Keir Starmer, who insisted last month that leaving the ECHR “would be a profound mistake" that should be resisted at every turn, has told MPs to abstain on the Reform bill to do so

There is now an attempt to say that Labour MPs never vote on ten minute rule bills, but that is not true. Over 100 voted either for or against one on proportional representation in December.

Keir Starmer latest:

She wants to secure her odious “legacy”. Well I hope Labour MPs are closely studying the results of the latest YouGov poll, particularly the Green shares for 18-24 year olds. It should be particularly clarifying for those representing university towns, as to why they may wish to oppose this poison

Let’s look at the other latest Your Party defection in Scotland and - oh dearie me!

I knew we would get to "british news outlets pretending not to know what panto is" eventually

This is good news for trans people (in a small way)

Oh my, this Janice Turner piece really hasn't aged well. Hat-tip: ‪@sianushka.bsky.social‬

Arms lobbyist Lord Walney wants to introduce another level of proscription so groups can be banned without having to label them as terrorists Porritt: "Lord Walney has a long record of seeking to introduce ever more repessive legislation.. curtailing peoples right to protest" 🎯

Bridget Phillipson - the literal Minister for Equalities - is unable to answer questions as essential as “what bathrooms should trans women use” You can’t shout at orgs for not following the SC decision when the most senior government figure on this issue can’t explain what following it looks like.

We tried to place this story - very expensive polling, the first of its kind, strong quantitative data about what trans people feel about Britain: bluntly there is no better way to tell the story - with the BBC but it said it was "too weak". But it will pick up any old piece of transhating garbage.

Omg this is mad

You know one thing about Your Party that might actually be good is it can work as a honeypot to attract all the worst people on the left, leaving the Greens free and clear. I wonder how long until the “Greens Women’s Declaration” brigade abscond entirely for YP?
