Meanwhile, in Germany, the public weighs in on what they think of the Epstein Administration. #BrutalButAccurate

Post a banger that isn’t in English… #musicsky Niagara - J’ai Vu From my year in Paris ~1990

I get so angry with people (the usual suspects) having a go at organisations like the RNLI or National Trust. One claimed that the lifeboats were for the use of English people only. Sorry nothing could be further from the truth. The original resolutions of the Royal National Lifeboat 1/3

A reminder that if you live in England or Wales & were born between 1970-1990 – or even before 1970 – you can help protect your community by getting the MMR vaccine free from your NHS GP now. I did last year. www.nhs.uk/vaccinations...

GenderGP’s Helen Webberley refers Hilary Cass to the GMC for misconduct Non-substack archive link: archive.is/zMLWR

I’m not normally that person but…. It’s really annoying that Democracy for Sale a has hardly been credited anywhere in last 24 hours for breaking story of Labour Together paying to spy on journalists *almost two weeks* ago Hadn’t expected Tory press office to be the exception!

There's a word for the specific form of psychological abuse in which transphobia is disingenuously portrayed as concern, caution, or scientifically rigourous evidence: Casslighting.

Cass saying that trans kids are being weaponised:

you're never gonna guess whose fault the times says it is

Entirely accurate documentary standard footage…

It's Saturday! Post a cartoon TV series you love.

#Wũlferhampton Hotel Wũlferhampton On a dark Mercian highway Cool wind in my hair Frozen hands in my pockets And an air of despair Up ahead in the distance A meadhall burning bright A ghostly vision with a mandolin A man with a seax on his right

Well played Scotland, Eng lacked accuracy repeatedly knocking ball on close to the try line. Eng scrum good, but over confident, Sco playing with more intensity throughout. Far too many one up players running direct but not creating space. Eng Players: Pepper - too many dodgy things Arundell 🟨 🟨🤦🏻‍♀️

ITV’s classy coverage of Six Nations Rugby continues apace… The Head Coach of Scotland - Gregor Townsend shown with the caption England Head Coach - Steve Borthwick #SixNations

Black Trans Trailblazers That You May Not Learn About in History Class • For Black History Month, we’re honoring these Black trans pioneers from across America.

The government tried to bury our story by briefing against it ahead of publication. But we kept going. This week the PR industry's own professional body launched an investigation into APCO's work for Labour Together democracyforsale.substack.com/p/pr-firm-pr...

The stealth transphobic rhetoric simultaneously argues; 1. That younger people must wait to know they are sure 2. That older people have waited too long to transition and be socially accepted. The end game is the elimination of trans people.

We saw this with the frothing GC reaction the Elliot Page. He didn't come out as trans until he was in his 30s and the transphobic weirdos and all their sock accounts started crying, screaming, throwing up.

Dear UK media, If you’re going to fall for Farage’s every cry for attention, FFS, be ready with the facts that show that, not only is he peddling anti-immigrant sentiment/racism for votes, but he’s lying about the stats too. It’s dangerous and dishonest. Please say so. Thanks A v tired-of-this, UK

Good & bad news from the GLP action who will appeal as it’s still problematic potentially forcing Trans people to be outed. The good news is that Phillipson will have to get the EHRC to completely rewrite their guidance stopping an attempt to change the SC ruling into a bathroom / changing room ban.

British.

Morning. It's Friday! xx

Today, the Trump administration repealed the endangerment finding: the ruling that served as the basis for limits on tailpipe emissions and power plant rules. Without it, we’ll be less safe, less healthy and less able to fight climate change—all so the fossil fuel industry can make even more money.

"A conservative network led by Michael Gove and Nigel Farage’s senior adviser James Orr has spent more than half a million pounds pushing far-right and anti-trans voices – some of it fuelled by profits from Russian oil."

If the PM reckons Jim Ratcliffe should apologise for spreading this exact same lie, should the Home Office apologise too, or? 🤨

This piece from Sir Terry Pratchett's "Night Watch" book. I didn't know a composer had set it to music. The book is a gut punch. This piece is a gut punch. And right now? Yeah. @rhi.bsky.social I'm sure you've heard this? youtu.be/1X2_2D1DFZQ?...

Just a reminder to any racist millionaire football club owners out there that without immigration we wouldn't have any of this

🔴 Exclusive: Corporate donations British parties tripled over last three elections But here's key thing: almost none is from FTSE500/listed companies It's almost all companies controlled by super-wealthy individuals, or small, opaque firms New on D4S: democracyforsale.substack.com/p/revealed-c...

This Govt is on a par with the previous sleazy Cons Govt’s, instead of distancing themselves from corporate & outside influence they’ve embraced with open bank accounts. Corporate sponsors direct contributions, corporate hospitality & even other countries manipulating MP’s.

Worth a watch…

Data from at least one large study suggests that more than 50% of detransitioners subsequently retransition again. I am looking for anyone who has transitioned twice and is not currently cis, to interview for a study I am working on about on retransitioners.

Good morning Weirdos 🖤

I understand I was really disruptive today but in my defense I’m literally a silly little guy

Something compelled me to make this

Epstein survivor rejects Starmer’s apology. Pls share.

Tim Allan may be getting less attention than Morgan McSweeney, but his links raised serious questions - and they’re part of the wider pattern of questionable appointments. This isn’t really about individuals. It’s about the state of the Labour Party. news.sky.com/story/invest...

It’s practically a work of art that he thinks we’re all that stupid.

Night night sweet dreamies Life feels so heavy lately There’s so much pressure, failure, doubt, and disappointment in ourselves The only thing that keeps us going is the thought, “it will pass” Maybe not today, maybe not tomorrow, but there’s always another chance to try again

Keir Starmer's spokesman won't say why his Comms Director Tim Allan resigned, when Starmer first knew he was resigning, or whether he asked him to step down. Also won't say whether evidence has been found suggesting an ongoing relationship between Allan and Mandelson
