Very exciting future for labour. Just remember everyone. Only northern starmer can beat southern starmer... God this country sucks.

-Puberty-blocker ban -U-18s hormone ban -Forced detransitions -Transphobic schools “guidance” -Toilet segregation -Obstacles to social transition -Forced outing to parents -NHS “services” imposing a pathologising external agenda Any *genuine* conversion therapy ban would need to outlaw ALL of these

Thank you @sarahowen.org.uk for signing the EDM today. I honestly don't know how you held your nerve at some of the answers given to you

I wish one presenter if they had that awful Falkner on their show would ask 1 simple question. If the supreme court ruled the other way and went further with trans inclusion than previous thought. Would she have spend so as much time and effort pushing for the law to catch up. We know the answer

Fantastic from @sarahowen.org.uk Thank you so much for this

I wonder how many Labour MPs currently are looking at the supreme court judgement today and going "S**t if we reverse this then it shows we can also reverse FWS and our hands aren't really tied". How many minority groups does it take to grow a spine?

Well I am exhausted but least today I managed to get 1 MP (I will pretend only I asked him) to sign the EDM and have gotten several friends to write to their MPs to revoke the new code of practice. It may not be much but if we can all do it we can make some progress!

I honestly am expecting when @rthonwesstreeting.bsky.social realises how bad his chances at winning the election are, he will sign the EDM 240 motion and pretend he cares about trans people. Would be funnier if Bridgette signed it. In this country, nothing would surprise me.

Govt has published their updated guidance following the Supreme Court judgment. As I have set out before, this new code will still lead to confusion for businesses & contains multiple legal contradictions which will see some of the worse elements of transphobia continue being aided and abetted 1/7

Thank you @tomgordonld.bsky.social . I asked if he would be willing to sign. Within an hour he did. He is not my MP but has done more for me in the past 24 hours than my own Labour MP has ever done despite many many emails and asking for meetings.

Update on the EDM motion. 32 signatures now. Today 3 from Lib Dems. 1 from SNP 1 from Labour. Still only 2 Green MPs. edm.parliament.uk/early-day-mo...

I mean yes. What is he bringing that's new or fresh? This poll will get worse as more people see it's just continuation. Immigration - the same Trans people - the same PR - Nothing in stone Privatisation - Vague as hell I have not seen him say what he will do different at all.

Honestly, I don't know what exactly changed but the Lib Dems really have impressed me lately

I know I'm ranting today, but I took a long break due to potential health issues (all seem ok now) so back with some force I guess. But one thing I think that does need to be drilled into MPs. When they mention ILGA about trans people. Use the numbers for trans people. It's worse than 22nd. It's 45

I will say I am in a strange mood after hearing the EHRC debate. A year ago it really only seemed the Greens were there for trans people. Lib Dems seemed to disappear from it. Today, Lib Dems showed up in force. Greens sent no-one. I pray the greens improve in future. @zackpolanski.bsky.social

One thing to add. If a Labour politician tries to pretend they haven't taken trans rights away. Let's pretend they are right and this was how the equality act was intended. It means Labour still took away trans rights in 2010. There is no scenario where Labour didn't strip trans peoples rights

What is the point of "change" with Labour. Let's get a new PM. Same as old PM. Let's get a new Health Secretary. Same as old Health Secretary. Honestly I hope Burnham loses in Makerfield. But whatever so called "left-wing" left in Labour need to actually find someone Left-wing to run for leader.

Just to say, if he's already this useless on people, brexit and other issues that have come up. Don't worry we have another few years to see how much more useless he will be before the next general election. Where is an actual Labour MP that is going for PM that won't be same or worse than prior?

I have decided to run for the Labour party at the next G.E. Can anyone tell me what I am personally motivated to achieve (please make sure it's something I don't care about and would be willing to ignore in future and doesn't affect me). Also which minority should I vow to protect then abandon?

So can I ask, what difference will having Andy in charge instead of Starmer really make? Currently I am seeing nothing that was different to Starmer pre-election. In fact on trans issues he seems worse than pre-election Starmer (or maybe more like within a month or two from election Starmer).

My only real hope now is the green party in this country. All other parties in England are willing to throw me under a bus and say well at least it wasn't reform doing it. Greens are not perfect but at least they do fight back. Not bow down to fascists.

"The government has made substantial progress in improving the welfare and safety of LGBT+ individuals across the UK. " The fuck it has

I share the worry of trans people at the prospect of PM Wes Streeting. At Health he ignored the voices of young trans people and restricted gender-affirming care, causing harm to a generation. It is up to Labour to choose its leader, but members must also choose a better direction on trans rights

Trans people are so often excluded from decisions made about them. I am concerned the puberty blockers trial has been paused not for clinical reasons, nor because govt listened to trans people's constructive concerns about how it will be run, but as a political decision...

So a while ago, Scotland was not allowed to have self ID as it would make another country in the United Kingdom have different rules regarding trans people compared to England. Now that Northern Ireland cannot implement FWS ruling, will England change FWS to ensure it aligns with Northern Ireland?

I've never done this but I do hope there will be some of you out there who will help a good friend of mine. He is a wonderful man who unfortunately has been dealt a bad hand in life. Please can you look at his gofundme and donate if you are able to. Thank you gofund.me/a1dd43bf3

I am so glad a politician is saying it out loud that you don't need to just agree with the supreme court and go "well that is that then".

This ruling is disappointing but one thing is clear: the EHRC’s draft code of practice got the law wrong and must be changed. Women's and men's toilets can be provided on a trans-inclusive basis for customers and service users. [1/3]

I'm so tired of this country. All it takes is the government to state that this bs around trans people was not the intention and change the legislation. But no. We have to deal with bs after bs. Waiting and waiting. I said it before and I mean it. I will never forgive labour.

The EU has just voted, by a VERY wide margin, for the full recognition of trans women as women…!

Closing the year with one of our highest ever polls. Thank you everyone so much for your support and determination this year. We're all just getting started. Join.greenparty.org.uk

Amazing message by @maggiechapman.bsky.social

Some good and some bad from the judgement. As usual, the GCs biggest win was just poor management. I feel for the Dr. She has been dragged through hell due to all this. Just because she wanted to live her true authentic self.

The transgender experience in the UK right now is basically just waking up to discover what else you've been banned from.

A Labour government passed the Equality Act. A Labour government was in power when the Supreme Court interpreted it to not mean what ministers at the time were clear it was intended to mean. The Labour government response should have been to legislate to fix it. Not doing so was a cowardly betrayal.

It's funny seeing all over the headlines. Scottish labour consider challenging Keir due to May election slaughter. How come it's because polls are looking terrible. Not because they think Keir is just awful. He could destroy the country but as long as the polls look good they are fine with him.

Kishwer Falkner's term as Chair of the EHRC, a term characterized by her willingness to use that vital guardian of the human rights of the vulnerable to wage war on trans people, ends today. THREAD

Amazing to see such a huge amount raised in such a short amount of time!

So the ehrc is changing their positions tomorrow. After years at the helm. What has Falkner actually done that's positive. Can a single MP actually give a list of anything positive or helpful that has been done under her tenure? I believe there should be an independent equality group. 1/3

So either Labour need to ask candidates to step aside for the Greens to take on Reform.... Or actually bring in a fair democratic process where everyone's votes count equally. It's time for Proportional Representation. www.thenational.scot/news/2558507...

Transphobes don't just hate trans people, but they're generally quite shit - racists, islamophobes, shit politics, that's what they stand for When I said our fight is one, I meant it, the same people coming after one minority also target others Legitimate concerns need space, hate doesn’t

Amazing to see. We are now more than half the membership of reform and possibly more than half of labours membership. We will find out if they announce their figures after the deputy results.

One thing I do think we need to remember. Despite how god awful Reform are. Not everyone voting for them is awful or bad. A lot of people are desperate for a change and farage has had years of putting it into their minds he will create a change. People know what we have isn't working. 1/2

ICYMI Green Party membership numbers have now overtaken the Conservative Party's! 🎉 📈 125,000 members and counting.

This is amazing. Can the @greenparty.org.uk do the same???

I know @zackpolanski.bsky.social talk about wealth inequality a lot. But when you look at figures it genuinely is insane the difference. Richest in Britain - Hinduja family £35b Average wage UK, £37,400 a year. It would take 936 thousand years at the average wage to catch up. Nevermind interest

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

I still struggle to understand why people think it's a good idea to leave the echr just so we can take away human rights. The whole point of it is to stop things like this happening. Not just leave when you don't like some people having rights.

And we won't stop there! More people are seeing the work that not only @zackpolanski.bsky.social @rachelmillward.bsky.social and @mothinali.bsky.social are putting in for the country. But also the people working alongside them. In smaller positions and locally for our future join.greenparty.org.uk
