I don't think it's a good idea to legally privilege someone else's discomfort over another person's rights.

“What this analysis shows is that trans people’s wellbeing & public attitudes towards trans people have worsened since 2017, in conjunction with the rise of an organised GC movement.” New analysis by Amnesty International exposes how UK media enable transphobia. media.amnesty.org.uk/documents/Li...

I find the timing of the government releasing the bathroom ban news to be an unsubtle way of trying to remove a risk to the PM

It's interesting how it is always the left wing's fault that fascists rise to power, as opposed to the centre's. This is, of course, despite the fact that the centre are the ones in power who have declared that racism is 'reasonable', transphobia is acceptable, and the disabled don't need money.

Reporting came down to 17 minutes and now 16 minutes…

Future scholars of the British constitution are going to explain that it's a noble and ancient convention that if a British PM is under threat of being removed from the leadership of their party then a lettuce needs to be be placed on live stream.

The Daily Star have bought another lettuce 👀

I suppose the funniest time for a high profile resignation is just as the King is about to give his speech

👀 “Keir said in Cabinet that he wouldn’t discuss the elections or his leadership, and that he will only speak to cabinet ministers about that individually. Then after the meeting he refused to see Cabinet ministers individually”

Is it just me or have the BBC changed from using "WHO" in their headlines and changing it to "UN Health Agency"? It just feels really clunky and like they're trying to diminish the WHO as an entity

Yesterday heartburn, this morning a headache. I'm falling to pieces bit by bit :') That being said, Riley waking me up several times overnight by head bumping my face did not help matters I suspect.

Remember when one of Wesley's junior Ministers led us to believe Palantir couldn't access identifiable patient data? Turns out that wasn't true.

Ugh, it’s a very heartburn morning.

"Mildly positive" for hantavirus. Yeah. Like the time my girlfriend got a little bit pregnant.

Football without passion is just watching live TV together to see what happens

Why would a feminist defend Donald Trump? This is quite a take and seems motivated entirely by trans hatred, rather than say being for women. Next thing you'll be telling me that these people also support Alex Salmond who's QC produced holiday photos of a victim in order to 'put a smell' on her.

My favourite gif, consigned to history...

Wonderful from Glasgow!

An amazing result for Edinburgh and Lothians East! Not only Edinburgh's first constituency win but also the first time we've had 4 MSPs in the region. This is a massive tribute to our remarkable volunteers. A huge thanks to everyone who voted Green- now is the time to join! greens.scot/join

The Electoral Commission either need to deal with the IGV issue publicly OR say "you can fuck around with elections if you register a party for a nominal fee"

Absolutely gutted for the brilliant Mags Hall, who missed out by 0.1%, with IGV taking 0.9%. Meanwhile in Argyll and Bute, *voting staff* mixed up the IGV and SGP *during the count*. Very, very big questions for the Electoral Commission.

Blue Labour will say “better to turn Camden into a marginal in order to win Barnsley” and then get absolutely destroyed in Barnsley.

The Electoral Commission have been an absolute joke on this, with serious consequences for Scottish democracy.

I'm still not comfortable with Chapman > Ingerson for the NE. It feels very confected

Are we hearing these regional results from Middle Earth?

Love how Jackie Baillie just going on saying that the electorate weren't smart enough to make their mind up because of Westminster goings on

Massive twat alert:

idk Keir maybe if you hadn’t spend the last year and a half alienating Labour’s only real support systems and half-arsedly kowtowing to the right-wing

Glasgow Southside (Glasgow) Constituency Vote (vs 2021 notional): GRN: 14048 (36.5%, +36.2) SNP: 10947 (28.4%, -31.5) LAB: 7300 (19%, -10.9) RUK: 3019 (7.8%, New) CON: 1383 (3.6%, -3.5) LD: 1143 (3%, +1.2) OTHx2: 659 (1.7%) Valid Turnout: 59.1% Green GAIN from SNP ^AF

Oh Cherry is going on about Sturgeon. Give it a rest 😂

This is the first return today I've seen with a sign language interpreter

Sky News projecting a national vote share for Reform of 27%, based on results so far. That’s four points down on what they achieved in local elections last year. Somewhat of a counter to the prevailing narrative. More evidence that Reform appears to have peaked.

Jeez. The Labour leader of Keir Starmer’s local council, Camden, has failed to win his seat, with the entire ward he stood in being won by the Greens.

I really hope Lennon can stay in the Parliament, she's genuinely the only quality Labour MSP there is

BREAKING: Second Ever Green Mayor Win 🎉 Liam Shrivastava has been elected Mayor of Lewisham – huge congratulations!

Whow!! You win your first mayoralty (Hackney) in the early afternoon, and by late afternoon, a second one comes along. Huge congratulations!!

Okay, unlike Angus Robertson, Kaukab Stewart is an actual gem. So, massive congratulations to Holly Bruce for winning Glasgow Southside on behalf of the Scottish Greens, but I hope to see Kaukab back in frontline politics soon 💚

Greens took until today to win their first constituency MSP, and now they have two. LOOK AT THIS. LOOK! Look at the very final stage of the BBS projection, the day before the election. Did my model get everything right? No. Was it SPOT ON for Green constituencies? Yes it was! ^AF

BREAKING: The Scottish Greens have gained Nicola Sturgeon's seat in Glasgow Southside which the former first minister held for 15 years. Holly Bruce won the seat with 14,048.

Wish @cr-wford.bsky.social did his crochet hex-map this year now there's green constituencies that can be added!

Glasgow Southside!

Fantastic result! Many congratulations to Lorna and the whole Edinburgh Green team!

Huge congratulations to @lornaslater.bsky.social - absolutely brilliant result! 🙌👏🌻💚

ANOTHER historic moment - first-ever Green constituency member in Holyrood!

Quite funny watching Joanna Cherry pivot an unrelated Q to attacking Angus Robertson

Of course Joanna Cherry couldn't help herself by getting a transphobic talking point in

a two horse race he wasn’t even in lmaoo

I'm delighted Lorna won this, but the scale of the victory really talks to the massive strides the Scottish Greens have been making

🟢 @lornaslater.bsky.social elected to represent Edinburgh Central! Lorna is the first Scottish Green MSP to be elected today, and the first Scottish Green constituency MSP to be elected ever!
