To be clear: deportations to increase cultural homogeneity is the text book definition of ethnic cleansing. Demands that come even close to this are so far outside any democratic norm and the rule of law. What has happened to a country when this is not condemned in the strongest possible terms?

The thing to understand about Robert Peston is, he is ferociously intellectually incurious. Genuinely one of the laziest men in journalism. You'd think this would make him unsuited for his role, but you'll understand more when you recognise it's exactly why he has the highly paid position he does.

If Hungary can finally get rid of Orban that would be a happy day indeed

Tomorrow I'll be on Laura Kuenssberg. Will I be able to say "I can announce the Green Party have just overtaken the Tories in members!"? It's tantalisingly close to happening! Join.greenparty.org.uk

Falkner writing a pissy letter to the minister going “its been six months and trannies are still legal what gives“ is quite funny tho

The government being pissed off with the EHRC feels cathartic, and I hope it might augur good news for trans rights

Absolutely! The EHRC is really floundering right now, and Bridget Phillipson (so we hear) is getting increasingly annoyed at them. What better time than now to write (using our easy-peasy tool) and pressure Phillipson to reject the EHRC’s segregationist Code 🤗📝🤗 actionnetwork.org/letters/scra...

That this is being done by in effect saying, no, no, all these years the Equality Act 2010 was actually a trans bathroom ban is such a fucking farce. If ghouls in the Labour party want to do this, they should have the courage to bring it to parliament rather hiding behind the SC and a bs quango.

Concerned about what the peace means for Palestinians? Concerned whether there will be peace at all? Concerned about accountability for the Israeli genocide? Shabana Mahmood has this to say to you.

🎉 We've done it. We've passed 100,000 Green Party members! 📈 But we're not stopping there. 💚 Let's make hope normal again! Join the Green Party today!

It’s worth bearing in mind that to the libs, “defenders of democracy” can mean anything from “Barack Obama” to “Islamist militia we have armed to the teeth” or “death squad carrying out a genocide”, and that in practice, these warm approving terms tend to mean “cooperative with America”.

A transphobic pressure group is trying to ban trans women from Hampstead women’s pond – it's time to fight back. Keep Hampstead women’s pond inclusive - add your name 👇 https://goodlawproject.org/petition/keep-hampstead-womens-pond-inclusive

Jenrick could have visited Handsworth to listen to residents – he chose to pass through and make a judgement based on the colour of their skin. Instead of getting to know our nation of neighbours, he chose racism. The Tories, Reform and Labour want to divide us. The Greens say enough is enough.

It's quite funny that they announced the Reform DOGE unit after the Musk one had failed massively in its declared goal of "saving" trillions of dollars (albeit it still managed to inflict a lot of misery...) for them to just fail in the same way.

Again: our political and media class have frog-boiled themselves so intensely that this doesn’t even strike them as strange but to anyone outside the UK, it is clear that we are in about year seven of an insane McCarthyist rampage because our leaders have lost their legitimacy.

📣 Hampstead Heath Bathing Ponds need your help! 🏊‍♀️ 🏊🏊‍♂️ They’ve always been firmly trans-inclusive, but now this is under threat. Please respond to their consultation to show how much public support there is for trans-inclusive arrangements. hampstead-heath-bathing-ponds.commonplace.is/en-GB/propos...

Lucy Powell has warned that Labour should not wave through a devastating trans bathroom ban 👇 Ripping up trans rights would be a disaster for Labour, for business, for women, and for the wider LGBT+ community. It's wrong. Labour needs to stop aping Trump and Farage, and protect our human rights.

I have come to the conclusion the EHRC guidance on single sex spaces should not even come to Parliament. It is misleading and has caused distress for my trans constituents. I urge @bphillipsonMP to reject it on grounds of practicality and human rights. sianberry.org.uk/publications/l…

I recall there was earlier polling where the results were much more supportive as a hypothetical - not a surprise to see it shift immediately upon contact with reality.

JUST NOW AT THE UN…

Starmer says past governments have been "squeamish" talking about immigration. Bullshit. Starmer isn't bravely breaking a taboo. He's blaming vulnerable people & deflecting attention from the super rich who hoard power & wealth. Want something better? join.greenparty.org.uk

Tony Blair acting like a colonial viceroy for a Trump led American empire is a particularly ghoulish prospect

The Brit Card: Nobody asked for it, it wasn’t in the election manifesto, it’s unclear why anyone would want one and the malicious uses for it are obvious, and loads of people hate the idea, but you know what? *Fuck you*, that’s what. We’re in charge. Fuck. You.

This is how it begins, with indirect insinuations and fake-humble pleas of uncertainty, as if online conspiracy theories, cranks and grifters carry equal weight to the overwhelming body of scientific evidence and medical expert opinion. Then they get into power and start shredding the health service

This would have a direct impact on my family, thousands of other low and middle income families, absolutely decimating the UK and the lives of everyone involved. The UK will become a hollow, selfish shithole if Farage wins any kind of power. I'll fight tooth and nail to stop it from happening

Btw it's 76,000 now and going up every minute....

Awful and dangerous to hear the Mayor echo the transphobic bigotry coming from the Trump administration. It's completely at odds with the values of our city and another reason why his single, disgraced term in office cannot end soon enough.

yeah polling like this would suggest otherwise - the difference in Trump sympathies between Reform and all other parties is very stark!

I'm just exasperated at this point, as making private businesses/orgs act as gender toilet police is obviously just daft as hell, and yet this fake equalities body and inept government are still poised to try and inflict it.

The EHRC guidance is unworkable for business. Signatories include Ben & Jerry's, Lush, Lucy & Yak and hundreds of large and small businesses across the country www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/poli...

Reminder that 100,000 people marched for Trans Pride in London earlier this year, but because they weren't violent fascists, there was minimal press coverage, unlike the Nazis today. https://www.them.us/story/london-trans-pride-march-turnout-record-uk-transphobia

Can anyone explain why the Government is still doing most of its communications through a website whose owner is now openly rallying the far right to trigger a violent insurrection on our streets?

Gosh what a pointless contest they are offering. A narrowed debate indeed...

Bridget Phillipson is running to become Labour's deputy leader. In her woeful response to the Supreme Court ruling, in her appointment of the overtly anti-trans Mary-Ann Stephenson as chair of the EHRC, and in her regular meetings with hate groups like Sex Matters, she has proved herself unfit.

The proscription has obviously been a complete disaster and yet no one in the government seems prepared to admit that

Just for a second, take a step back, and remember that these are the actions of a 56 year old man towards a 17 year old girl.

And a happy "Tossing out the TERFS" day to you as well! While It's a shame to see Mothin Ali show support for MPs advocating for segregation after voting closes, it's notable that pretty much all candidates who had outright transphobic positions lost.

Odd framing in this analysis in The Guardian. He just won ~85% of the vote, the party is already with him!

Congratulations to the newly elected Leader of the Green Party of England & Wales, @zackpolanski.bsky.social

Wow huge landslide for Zack Polanski. Thank goodness!

I wouldn’t have thought many Labour MPs came into politics to strip the rights of torture survivors to be reunited with the spouses & children. They need to take a long hard look in the mirror & ask whether Starmer, Cooper & Reeves are really the leadership their careers should be remembered with.

We launched this campaign 4 months ago. You now have just 4 hours left to vote for Bold Leadership. Ballot.greenparty.org.uk #BackZack

I am sickened by the relentless demonisation of refugees. No refugee underfunded a school. No refugee closed a hospital. No refugee took away support from the sick and disabled. We need solutions not scapegoats. Stop blaming refugees and tax the rich instead!

SInce no-one seems to have mentioned this publicly yet, Jeremy Corbyn finally explicitly addressed the current wave of heightened transphobia at Greenbelt Festival over the weekend. He says he will be bringing a pro-trans politics to Your Party.

This was published less than a month ago

Just for perspective, a few weeks ago roughly 100,000 turned up for the London Trans+ Pride march. By contrast fewer than 3,000 ACROSS THE WHOLE COUNTRY, have turned up to anti-asylum "protests". Yet we are meant to take the latter as "the voice of the people" and the former as "the minority".

Voters want and are desperate for a positive and bold alternative to the failure of Labour and the Tories. I think this polling reflects that. The energy this leadership campaign has generated is transformative. Voting closes at the end of the month. Remember to vote!
