SICKOS

This is what is needed to destroy the GP partnership model and replace GPs with salaried staff employed by private health commissioned to provide Streeting's neighbourhood health centres. It is, in reality, the privatisation of GPs.

Something that stung at end of being on Infinite Monkey Cage were frequent backstage invites for various anti trans activists - including to our small party for 201st episode - people who wrote vicious things about me & then lies about me after resignation. It was really rotten. www.robinince.com

You can easily find BBC articles that have a Brexit Party splash from seven years ago, showing the same colour scheme and logo of its current incarnation. www.bbc.co.uk/news/electio...

On Friday morning, the media were claiming the Green Party was underperforming in London. We now control three councils and two mayors.

Just been reminded of the unpleasant experience of driving through Junction 25 of the M60 last week. The anti-clockwise slip road is the only one I have seen in the UK that joins the carriageway from the right instead of the left. www.google.com/maps/@53.430...

If you live in Sheffield and, like me, love breakfast from HowSt on Howard Street, today’s your last chance before they close forever. I’ve been coming for about 15 years, and I’m going to miss it so much.

Ooh look

“we have not sustained the public’s trust that we have done enough” It’s our fault, is what he’s trying to say. It’s couched in meaningless technocrat word salad, but he still thinks he has a comms issue. Any good leader just would have said: “We have not done enough”

Feeling pretty bleak to have a new Ref*rm councillor, and that my favourite place to get breakfast (which I’ve been using for *fifteen years*) is opening for the last time tomorrow. Rotten week.

So, the transphobia aimed at a newly elected [Trans] member of parliament has already started The national broadcaster [the BBC] uncritically using language to describe Trans+ people that Trans+ people 1. Do NOT use to describe themselves 2. Consider to be highly offensive, and dehumanising

In the same election the ranks of MSPs who voted against GRR were turfed out of office - among their replacements were two new trans MSPs. The politics of hate took a kicking today. The politics of trans liberation brought two of their own into the seats of power in Scotland! 🏳️‍⚧️ 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Big wins in Sheffield! 💚 We’ve gained 10 seats in the 2026 local elections, backed by 28% of the popular vote

The people to blame for reform are: 1. People who chose to vote for the far right (Reform voters). 2. People who aped the far right political positions and amplified their hateful rhetoric (the Labour party, media etc.) That’s it. Not the Greens, not the Lib Dems, not the people told to fuck off:

BREAKING: First Ever Green Mayor Win 🎉 Zoë Garbett has been elected Mayor of Hackney – huge congratulations!

Lots of people announcing verdicts about Labour’s relative performance before the Welsh and Scottish assemblies are announced. Aside from jumping the gun, it really goes to show how Anglo-centric our media really is.

I’m told my acceptance speech upset some of the BBC journalists who were in the room. I said what I said and it’s the truth 🤷‍♀️

Home after the final All Day Hey! It was a privilege to help bring this conference into world by speaking at the first event in 2017, and an honour to speak again last year. Thank you to @joshnesbitt.dev, @philhawksworth.dev and everyone involved, you’ve done a fantastic job over the years 🧡

While cis doctors disagree, trans people die. It’s that simple.

Fancy trying speaking in the Yorkshire region? Upset by end (pause?) of @heypresents.com wonderful string of conferences? Come chat to @devolute.bsky.social or @katiefenn.bsky.social at the after-party if you fancy speaking at #FrontEndSheff in Sheffield to our lovely welcoming community #AllDayHey

Mind-blowing story about how Shabana Mahmood responded to perfectly reasonable questions about whether she or her family had been involved in voter fraud by threatening to sue a small local news outlet for defamation.

@anjana.dev youtu.be/9R3hIvfRLMY?...

If you’re going out to vote today… Make your choice based on what would benefit the most vulnerable person you know. You might be fine, but not everyone is

Off to Leeds for the last All Day Hey! @heypresents.com

Vote. Vote against transphobia. Vote against hate. Vote.

In hindsight, their strategy was in plain sight all along: Change the guy at the top, only. Keep the same kind of people in charge behind the scenes, with the same kind of policies.

Whoever you vote for today remember: Labour came to power in 2024 with an enormous majority promising change, then scraped and bowed to the worst people in the country, and pitch-rolled for Reform. They had a chance to change Britain for the better and flushed it down the toilet. So vote for hope.

farewell, sir kid starver #VOTEGREEN youtube.com/shorts/YvMsX...

A fascinating deep dive by @techconnectify.bsky.social into Toyota's hybrid system made famous by the Prius, how it doesn't really have a gearbox or a CVT, but a clever motor and differential setup that makes it very efficient and simpler than you'd expect. www.youtube.com/watch?v=KnUF...

Thanks to said arthritis I’m also quite slow going down steps. I need the handrail. Platform changes don’t leave a lot of time and a trainful of rushed people means I get pushed a lot. Same with getting off trains with big platform gaps. I’ve been pushed off trains countless times for being too slow

Example: EMR have a little stand at Sheffield station about the new aurora trains but until they put seat reservations back I have to travel to London via doncaster. I can’t risk standing longer than half an hour because my arthritic joints won’t take it, especially in confined spaces.

One day I need to write something about being disabled while travelling - not disabled enough to require assistance but disabled enough that platform changes and no seat reservations can cause massive issues.

It was wrong when the media did this to Ed Miliband when he was leader and it is wrong to do this to Polanski. Genuinely have no idea how awfulness like this gets past editors… It’s really not that hard to criticise policies or politicians without being antisemitic.

Antisemitism is apparently always someone else's problem for these publications. Attacks on synagogues and ambulances, stabbings in the street, and apparently the issue is anti-genocide marches. As if.

I've written back to my MP in advance of the updated EHRC guidance being laid before Parliament after the election. Now's a good time to write back you your MPs to keep the pressure on to make sure there is democratic oversight over changes to our rights.

See you on Thursday for the last one 🙂

Forget the fact this video is about Tesla. It shows why legacy car companies are in deep trouble if they don’t rise to the challenge of EV challenger car companies. EV-first companies are iterating at an unheard of rate, while everyone else is self-soothing on combustion. youtu.be/IwnJzP0TlCk

It's the last ever All Day Hey this week and somehow there's still tickets. Can't be many tho, so don't miss it. Who's going?! heypresents.com/conferences/...

All I'm saying is Reform UK appear to have embedded Mapbox onto their "Vote Green Get Illegals" site and Mapbox's API is incredibly expensive. Really would be a shame if they woke up to a large bill.

People who want the policies put forward by the Green Party are planning to vote Reform, which has no such policies, because they believe the other parties are far left, and because they don't realise that the policies they need and want are further left than any of the old parties currently offer 😱

The people who claim: "there's going to be a bonfire of the middle classes" "there'll be 30% unemployment" "front end development will be wiped out within months" What do they honestly think will happen? This will be unprecedented civil unrest which nobody will be able to escape.

Caroline Litman met Health Secretary Wes Streeting and reiterated my offer to brief him on the NHS trans health crisis. Many of Streeting’s remarks confirm the issues I drew attention to in my video on conversion practices. youtu.be/_S5w18sjYLk?...

Made it all the way round without hurting myself or my bike this time

I’ve heard of internal combustion engine cars parking in charging bays, but this is the first time I’ve seen an EV blocking a petrol pump

Badenoch is so weird man, what do you mean she willingly spent time with Glinner? His own family don’t even do that

Imagine going into a meeting with the mother of a dead daughter and making jokes about yourself. Wes Streeting is a monster.

Time to speak about meeting Streeting. The 24 page response I sent back to the DoH, including 55 questions, is on my blog. It says it’s a 40 minute read…I don’t think it’s that long. Anyway, it’s there for reference if you’re interested. Ask your questions. Article by @wearequeeraf.com out now.
