Liberal minded people, members of a minority or not, urgently need to get our heads round the fact that there is ALWAYS a reaction against gains in equality and not get allowed to ourselves to be seduced by the idea that it wouldn’t have happened if the less privileged group had been more discreet.

A sentiment we heartily endorse.

If we're going to install aircon in schools let's make sure they are virus catching filters too.

This is fantastic news Angela Rayner👏

Oh dear. How sad. Never mind.

Guardian: "Burnham and Starmer hold ‘frosty’ meeting to thrash out transition of power" . Must have been the only cool place in the country yesterday.

It’s also telling that they see “a long-term life on medication” as bad. There is nothing wrong with being on medication if that’s what’s keeping you healthy! Having medication that makes you well is good, actually!

I'm not saying that everything he did was bad, but as a disabled, trans woman he has led one of the most destructive attacks on me and mine in British history. He says he ended austerity, he lies. He said Britain is fairer for everyone, he lies www.bbc.co.uk/news/live/ck...

Sigh: "it doubted the veracity of the evidence put before it suggesting that trans women being placed in men’s prisons led to a heightened risk of suicide risk"

this is a government of barbarians. if the state mandated persecution of trans people in all areas of their lives ever ends and justice ever exists in any capacity again, i genuinely believe the uk government, media and every public “terf” should be held accountable for crimes against humanity.

This is absolutely key. So much debate about shutting children's eyes, so little about pushing the companies to stop displaying the stuff in the first place. Age verify the post, not the children. Censor the algorithm, not the children.

Genuinely can't believe what's happened today. Every nation has a duty to prevent & punish genocide!

Liberal Democrats have a plan to cut your bills, and make the big energy networks pay for it with their record windfall profits. @LibDemDaisy.bsky.social has the details ⬇️

MPs and dying people sent a powerful message: Parliament must be allowed to finish what it started. In today's debate, MPs were clear - the assisted dying bill was deliberately obstructed in the Lords to the detriment of Parliament, the public and dying people.

apparently they've never heard of the Streisand effect. hey friends, let's make this editorial go viral: 🙌🎉 diabetesjournals.org/care/article...

Fascism is like bindweed in a border. If you can’t dig it all out, you need to really manage it, as it keeps coming back. If you don’t keep addressing it but give it space, it takes off and starts choking out others. If you leave it unchecked, it can take over.

Meanwhile the UK has delayed plans for services for the severely affected again We’re abandoned by health and social care services and even have avoidable death reports showing this. And yet nothing changes

On Saturday, @eddavey.libdems.org.uk joined @mariecgoldman.bsky.social in writing to the Minister urging her to withdraw the EHRC's dreadful new draft code of practice. Thank you, Ed. 🧡 Women's rights and trans rights are not in conflict - and we will not stop fighting until the law is changed. ✊🏳️‍⚧️

We have been clear from the start that the EHRC guidance must be inclusive, workable and provide clarity so that none are worried about whether they can safely access public facilities and no person, business or provider is left exposed to legal risk.

The Conservative Party would rather pander to MAGA-style culture war than oppose poor guidance. The Labour Government want to act like there was consensus for the new EHRC Chair. There was not.

Happy Pride Month. I will not stand for anyone being excluded from participating in public life because there aren’t facilities they can safely use. Not now, not ever.

Well said, Tom 🧡

@mariecgoldman.bsky.social led the charge of @libdems.org.uk MPs speaking out against the new draft EHRC code of practice in the House of Commons earlier today. Thank you to Marie and all our MPs who contributed. 🧡 We will keep fighting this, until the law is changed.

What the world really needs is more bookshelves with rolling ladders.

Artificial Intelligence and legal work - a crucial case to read There was a routine court application which would usually go through on nod, but the judge suspected something was not right and asked questions, and this then came out. If you must use AI, be careful. www.bailii.org/ew/cases/EWH...

So today I have to learn the difference between ivory and keratin, and I also have two new Faun CDs to listen to, so that's my afternoon sorted.

"Technology is not simply a tool. When it becomes the standard by which everything is judged, it begins to dictate what matters and what can be discarded, reducing creation to an object of exploitation and human beings to mere cogs in a system driven toward ever greater efficiency." - Pope Leo (92)

"More power does not necessarily imply something better ... If technological development advances without a corresponding ethical and social progress, the result may be an increase in means without a growth in humanity: “having more” without “being more.” - Pope Leo (93,94)

I went to a Malcolm Lowry inspired event in Ripe (where he was when he died) and won a copy of Under The Volcano. Took it on holiday to read. Serious mistake; the most depressing book I've ever read.

History will show Keir Starmer’s approach to Trump was one of his worst mistakes, making Britain poorer and less secure. We need more than vague promises. We need real action, starting with a new customs union with Europe.

And people aren't yet commenting to say what a brilliant idea this is. 😁
