As I've repeatedly said here, the great majority of #YourParty members want the party to be unequivocally pro-trans. Even the speeches against the motion didn't ring any alarm bells: one of them argued that the motion wasn't well worded and we needed fuller and better statements of policy.

At long last,peace on Earth or at least what’s left of it.Trump has announced that he has “won the War on the Climate Change Hoax.”According to the Commander-in-Chief,the glaciers are fine,coral reefs are thriving,and the entire scientific community has officially apologized for the inconvenience.

Sadly, this doesn't actually come from the Wales Tourist Board

Open letter: A call to end university war complicity

"New York will not sit idly by while trans people are attacked."

The Great Peacemaker Donald Trump is setting up explosive confrontations all across America www.newsweek.com/chicago-bran...

It takes a Guardian columnist to believe that this authoritarian Starmer government would bat an eyelid at using digital ID to aid mass deportations, or targeted attacks against left-wing opponents deemed to be subversive.

JUST NOW AT THE UN…

The trouble with those immigrants, they don't embrace our national culture and traditions, like ... err ... peeing in the street.

Happy days www.theguardian.com/money/2025/s...

They're even dissing slavery now. It's woke gone mad !

I am one of the 14 authors who chose to leave the Polari Prize, and I find myself frustrated and saddened at the way this entire story has been represented. 1/

chng.it/Vnk8wPZq9M The new party needs to send out a message that it will be unequivocally trans-inclusive. I've created a petition to help drive this. Please sign and share.

"If it's going off the politics of hope and it's going to represent working class communities and it's going to actually work towards eradicating poverty then of course I'll be joining up."

NEW: the latest MRP poll has @leannemohamad.bsky.social WINNING Ilford North. Let's kick out Wes Streeting and elect a young British-Palestinian socialist in his place 💪

No wonder they wanted to ban Kneecap from Glastonbury. This is effing brilliant.

Any Labour MP who accepts this is unprincipled as well as spineless. You are willing to throw every future claimant under the bus to save the job of one man, Keir Starmer.

I agree with this. It's unfortunate that the Commons vote was so narrow, so there'll always be "what if" questions, but the public consensus is strongly in support of the bill according to polls.

This is quite simply a declaration of war by Trump against Democrat run cities, complete with ludicrous and inflammatory accusations. It should be treated as such.

Class

There's a concerted campaign to con us into thinking that the EA2010 prohibits trans women from using gender-appropriate loos and changing rooms, and that this has always been the case. As I show here, the source documents prove this to be completely untrue. translucent.org.uk/equality-act...

Best protest song in years. Out today. Kate Nash wipes the floor with the anti-trans brigade. www.youtube.com/watch?v=q2Mo...

Behind every transphobe there's a reactionary conservative who believes it's their prerogative to tell teenagers who they are and how they should live their lives (and not take no for an answer).

Truth

This is so funny. God is being replaced by robots. By creating Grok, Elon Musk has become the Marxist Frankenstein.

Is this what Making America Great looks like ? Elected politicians putting all their energy into filing new attacks every day on trans and LGBTQ people, which won't improve the quality of life for a single human being ?

An important victory, and one which underlines the importance of involving trade unions in the struggle. www.thepinknews.com/2025/05/15/w...

We know that the law is not always on the right side of history. The Supreme Court ruling last month does not make public spaces safer for anyone.

Official: LGBTQ rights in the UK have dropped precipitously under this Labour government.

"This is not a symbolic gesture. It is a direct call for accountability and a refusal to platform those who have not protected our rights." No parties named, but obviously directed in particular at Labour.

The message to this Labour government from the trans community is loud and clear. Is anyone listening ?

Best video ever. You're gonna love this guy, I'm telling you.

Yet another very powerful open letter, this one from people working in the culture sector to the Equality and Human Rights Commission. airtable.com/appJjTpDvAuS...

When Trmp threatened Maine's governor Janet Mills with loss of federal funding unless she reversed state policies on inclusion of trans women in sport, she said "I'll see you in court". Trump sneered "Good. I’ll look forward to that. That should be a real easy one."

"Across four seasons in England, she has only found teammates and opponents agree with her view of women’s football as a game built on community and inclusivity... After the ban was announced, she was overwhelmed with messages of support from current and former players." inews.co.uk/sport/footba...

Was this how Hitler addressed the people of Poland in the summer of 1939 ? Or how Putin addressed the people of Ukraine before invading their land ?

Carry on using the right toilets. And remind your friends and family voting in the local elections next week that this is Labour's policy and Labour extended the term of the bigot running the EHRC.

They don't deserve a trial because they're criminals ! But how do you know that they're criminals ? I'm not listening to your Radical Marxist talk ! #MakeAmericaImbecilic

"My goal today was dedicated to all my trans siblings, who've had an incredibly tough & heartbreaking week."

1/4 Ok, if you're trans, read this and *please* take note. If FWS win the Supreme Court case tomorrow, do NOT despair. If FWS lose, do NOT break out the champagne. EVERYTHING in this case revolves around the arguments the Judges have made and the commentary they have added...

State of our national media

It's very alarming. It's disturbing that it's possible for a court of law to fundamentally change the effect of legislation passed by parliament. Let's hope that they do no such thing. www.translegalproject.org/post/a-uk-su...

Billions of dollars are at stake, but some principles are more important. "No government—regardless of which party is in power—should dictate what private universities can teach, whom they can admit and hire, and which areas of study and inquiry they can pursue." www.harvard.edu/president/ne...

Essential reading

Peak corruption. As stock markets open, Trump urges his wealthy mates to buy. A few hours later, he paises tariffs and share prices go through the roof. You couldn't make it up.

Happy days are here again
