Keir Starmer is a bad person who used his power to make the United Kingdom a more unequal place and dismantle the possibility of opposing oppression and genocide, and to drive trans people from public life. If you think he is decent, I have news for you about your own moral judgement.

"The UK court system is a fucking joke. "No facts, no standing, no harm. They get a court to strip the rights of a minority group without them being involved in the case or any factual record. "As bad as things are in the US... there are still constitutional restraints that prevent stuff like this."

It is 2034. The UK General Election has just been won in a landslide by the Ban Everything Party. People dance in the streets, weeping with joy at the news that the country will be put to rights at last. Mass arrests follow, as dancing in the street is one of the first 157 things banned...

Terrible news: the Court of Appeal has just ruled that the Government’s ban on Palestine Action is lawful. PA is now likely to lodge an appeal before the Supreme Court. So the mass arrests of peaceful people sitting with cardboard signs will continue. Because that is what terrorism looks like ...

Phone ban, social media ban & curfew, trans bathroom ban, trans youth healthcare ban, repeated protest ban, arrests of peaceful protestors for Palestine. All this government seems able to do is ban, ban, ban. No positive vision of the future, just kneejerk authoritarian crackdowns.

a little on the nose for capitalism that the world’s first trillionaire is a nazi conman

It's great Orban is gone and I get that TISZA will get a glow-up from that for a while, but I think at some point you want a wider ideological range in Hungarian politics than currently captured by this polling!

I have signed the fatal motion on the code of practice. The answers to the questions I raised below - and to those from other committee members - fell far short of anything workable, just or fair.

This is what a pogrom looks like: men in masks coming to drive you from your home. This is a collective failure of our political and media class because we did not have the courage to say no, and because too many were allowed to embrace this without shame

I am loathe to give credit to David Cameron, but it is also wild that in 2016, Cameron's response to the UK falling to third in the ILGA rankings behind Malta was “I want this top spot back again.” Now we slip to 22nd and the government don't even mention it...

This has now surpassed 100 supporters, amazing!

Alongside colleagues, I have tabled a motion to disapprove the Equality Act 2010: Draft Code of Practice for Services, public functions and associations. We cannot support it, and we have a responsibility to our trans constituents to resist it. Please email your MP asking them to sign EDM 240.

🚨 NEW: 27 Members of Parliament have signed a motion to reject the EHRC Code of Practice edm.parliament.uk/early-day-mo... Ask yours to join them: equalrecognition.eaction.org.uk/rejectthecode

Genuinely feel more positively about the Lib Dems after this than I ever have tbh. Disappointed that no Green MPs turned up - I know they have far fewer (and frankly wouldn't want Ramsay to attend...) but it would have been reassuring to see at least one stand up for trans rights in this debate.

The new EHRC Code of Practice is not fit for purpose. It does not provide clear guidance or do enough to protect everyone from discrimination, and it is not compatible with longstanding British values. @EdDavey.LibDems.org.uk and @MarieCGoldman.bsky.social have written to Bridget Phillipson. ⬇️

The amount of coverage there's been boosting Streeting, Mahmood and Al Carns as future Labour leaders over the past couple of years and collectively they manage a grand total of 5%

New poll just dropped! The only poll that matters is tomorrow. Please vote and if you can - get involved with your local campaign! Some of these seats are going to come to a handful of votes. Replace Labour. Stop Reform. Vote Green. 💚

I think most of the public are horrified that MPs continue to defend the idea they can get drunk at work and then go to vote. Lots of people work hard. It's incredibly out of touch from Labour MPs in particular.

I’m pleased. (Also, I’m sure there is not-very-legal legal advice that spending £1,080,000 on facility upgrades effectively dismisses any legal challenge.)

People out there arguing coldly that it should be a crime to try to live as a trans person. These are dangerous fanatics, and they have the ear of at least 3 UK political parties, and most of the media.

In the UK today the de facto position is that you can be subsidized by the taxpayer, through charitable tax relief, to campaign for the pathologisation and elimination of a group nominally protected by the Equality Act, but not for its protection.

It’s a great moment to remember that in the leadup to this popular uprising, the first major gut-punch was delivered by Budapest Pride. Poetic justice. 🇭🇺🏳️‍🌈

And just look at this list of endorsements - a cavalry of international right wing demagogues endorsed him to try and shore up support, only for their guy to lose in a landslide! en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2026_Hu...

ORBÁN CONCEDED

Saw somewhere that more rural areas are expected first, so won't lose hope yet!

Voting in Hungary is underway. Opposition leader Péter Magyar, leading in polls, has cast his vote. Turnout at 7am is 3.46%—a record, twice as high as 4 years ago. Early data shows opposition areas overperforming, while Fidesz strongholds are lagging. Follow me for updates on the #HungaryElection

I think Hungary's economy might fare a lot better if instead the country expunged Orban's horrible, corrupt regime which funnels state funds to Fidesz aligned cronies

As I’ve been saying for a long time: it should be clear that the endless conflicts in the Middle East are being driven by genocidal madmen who cannot be deterred, and are bent upon massive murderous destruction to assert their dominance

The Greens have now overtaken both the Conservatives and Labour, according to the latest polling average

Just like Senator Joni Ernst's response to Medicaid cuts, absolutely wretched politics.

Starmer’s Britain: transphobic AF. To be very clear, Starmer is responsible for the exclusion of trans girls from the Guides and Brownies; he could have overturned the “Supreme” Court misjudgement and refused to do so.

Half a million people standing against the far right. Half a million people who care about each other and our communities. Half a million people ready to make hope normal again.

A couple of snaps from the Together Alliance earlier today! The big union balloons were fun. (I'm not a teacher myself, I was just in the NASUWT section with my partner)

Pro-war, pro-privatisation. Don't trust these people.. www.ft.com/content/be4b...

This is completely insane, lads. It’s not her that’s obsessed with anything, it the tiny gaggle of absolute headbangers who have not stopped screaming at her about it for five years. *You* are the wackos here, not her.

Very excited to be appearing at Wembley Arena tomorrow night as part of Trans Mission. 100 per cent of the profits raised will be split between Not a Phase and the Good Law Project. www.transmissionlive.uk 🏳️‍⚧️

Noem has just been fired

things every single republican president of your lifetime has done - started a war in the middle east - completely destroyed the economy

Starmer: “If you don’t like our policies you can leave.” Voters:

Hannah Spencer: councillor, plumber, greyhound lover and the only candidate who can beat Reform in Gorton & Denton today 💚

"I have given this a lot of thought, and: I really, really need Matt Goodwin to lose tomorrow’s Denton & Gorton by-election. For the good of us all, that man needs to be repudiated, and his ideas stomped into the dust." On one of the worst people in British politics.

Wes Streeting: on cancelling the puberty blockers trial, my decisions are "always being led by the expert clinical evidence." Hilary Cass, his expert clinician of choice*: "It feels to me like they are responding to political pressure rather than to science... completely bizarre." *Until today.

This is huge - and proves exactly what we're saying. We cannot have a moment of complacency - only the Green Party can stop Reform. Vote Hannah Spencer and the Green Party on Thursday in Gorton and Denton. 💚

So it turns out Matt Goodwin's Reform campaign manager was a holocaust-denying Nazi who said he would "never touch a Jewish woman.” When do we start seeing all the coverage of the antisemitism crisis in Reform UK? www.jewishnews.co.uk/reform-uk-su...

At least 12 WI groups are closing or considering closure after the organisation barred transgender women from membership. Members say more groups are likely to close, and that the federation’s decision has opened up a toxic, traditionalist culture that will deter younger women from joining.

Wow! Palestine Action win judicial review - Guardian report. This is a *big* legal win. www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2026...

“We would expect support for full social transition to be agreed very rarely” There you have it, the gov wants trans kids to rot in the closet

He should resign at the same time.
