"Our community is scared and exhausted but we are fighting back." It's important that all of us who stand with the LGBTIQA+ community support the Good Law project in their appeal against the high court decision. Trans rights are human rights. 🏳️‍⚧️ greenparty.org.uk/2026/05/22/s...

So a trans woman I know, almost 70, now has to use male toilets? Why? She had gender reassignment surgery in the 1980s and has been using women's toilets for 40 years. She has never been a threat to anyone. Will she be safe in men's toilets? Where's the law to protect her?

The Labour party in the UK are doing the kind of toilet police nonsense that was a stable of the Republican Party in the USA 8 years ago. Culturally poisonous reactionaries.

Labour seems to now see its role as punching down on the most vulnerable at every opportunity

Whoever this “Green Party strategist“ advocating against exercising what could be substantial leverage in the Burnham by-election is, they are completely inadequate to the moment. The is so far beyond ridiculous in so many ways I can’t even begin to enumerate them.

The bathroom ban in particular has no reason to exist, no basis in the supreme court ruling, and will likely be overturned in a human rights challenge. Why would you do it, unless you had lost all sense of moral decision-making.

there’s some of this on the timeline this morning. “if you think Starmer is anti-trans then it’s not even worth pursuing a conversation” - you are being wilfully blind!

We’ve been lucky to receive high-profile support since we started our campaign, and we know visibility and vocal allyship matters. It doesn’t come much higher than Sandi Toksvig, who’s done so much for women’s equality and inclusion. Thank you 🙏 notinourname.org.uk

The FT this morning unironically suggests Labour should promote ‘the unleashing of animal spirits in the economy’. Great to see Keynes invoked 90 years on but does their edition have some edits?

Ouch!

Wir sind in mitten einer historischen Energiekrise in der Energiekonzerne Rekordgewinne einfahren. Aber anstatt Profitmargen zu begrenzen & Preise zu bremsen subventioniert die Regierung mit jedem Cent Steuersenkung der nicht weiter gegeben wird die Profite noch.

oh is Starmer banging on about steel again

The Department of Government is recruiting one fellow to teach 5 seminar groups for our Intro to Political Science course (GV101). The successful applicant will be a full member of our exciting research community. More info: jobs.lse.ac.uk/Vacancies/W/...

Trans+ people in the UK are facing coordinated attacks based on a myth: that being Trans+ is a ‘modern contagion’. History, including Roman Britain, proves otherwise.

@eastsurreygreens.bsky.social did a lot of hard work for this result.

If I can’t have the alternative timeline where the will of Florida voters wasn’t frustrated in 2000, can I at least have the one where Brown gave Clegg PR via Parliament in 2010? No? Ok, how about one where Labour is terrified enough of Reform to introduce PR In 2026?

I concur with Chief Justice Roth. Nearly perfect novels

This week is @transhistoryweek.com - a great time to reflect on the fact that - contrary to what you might think from the current toxic debate - trans people have always existed, across all ages and cultures🏳️‍⚧️🧵 www.transhistoryweek.com/latest/thw20...

It takes quite an imagination to think that the Greens are the party of hate in Britain, but they talk about taxing the rich so that’s what we’re going to be hearing for the next few years

Just before election, deluge of minor details about @zackpolanski.bsky.social blown into a narrative about his 'deceitfulness', two weeks after Starter had to defend what he knew/misled MPs about his appointment of a well-known friend of a paedophile who also illegally shared state secrets.

There is a trivial way to fix this craziness: let DMO bid in auctions for APF gilts. Since HMT is on the hook for the APF’s full purchase price of the gilts no matter what they sell for, DMO loses nothing by outbidding the market and financing the payment through sale of whatever gilts it wants.

Merriam-Webster, welcome to the resistance.

Call me crazy, but it would actually be possible to institutionalize coordination between monetary and fiscal policy rather than wondering whether and how HMT can propitiate the BOE.

If the government wants to tackle the "online breeding ground of antisemitism" why on earth are Keir Starmer, the government and @heidialexander.bsky.social still posting on X? www.bbc.co.uk/news/live/cw...

What do we want? Proportional representation! When do we want it? Before British democracy dies! (Sorry, scansion is not my strong suit.)

German left parties leaving X together — great news!

Some useful public speaking tips from Freud here.

A statement from the Newcastle Green Group on the Blakelaw & Cowgate Candidate Tina Ion

@surplusmagazin.de Ganz Großbritannien leidet ohne Abo-möglichkeit! Article summaries all sound fascinating. Somebody should found a magazine like this here, I guess.

We build homes. More homes built by Green controlled councils than anyone else.

The experiment of bus privatisation has been an unmitigated disaster. Green councillors will campaign for publicly-controlled buses and free bus fares for all people under 22 years. Vote Green on 7 May to boost our buses 🚌

I have long since run out of patience for Labour MPs decrying hate against the LGBT+ community by pointing fingers everywhere but their government. Reform are not the reason trans kids are dying without access to healthcare. Reform are not the reason trans people are being excluded and segregated.

Recently watched this great and depressing movie about the ways sociopathy and exponential wealth growth have been feeding one another. A document of our horrific moment. www.theguardian.com/film/2025/ma...

Civility talk in defense of an admin that now murders civilians and children daily is a performative contradiction and we should make that clear constantly

@nataliegreenpeer.bsky.social asked local councillors and candidates, including our own Steve McKenna in Redhill, what they love about their areas. Really varied answers but it just shows how they love their home areas.

I’ve been hearing so much anger and disappointment from frontline workers about the BBC investigation into fraudulent asylum claims. One of the most damning responses has come from one of the experts they interviewed, solicitor Ana Gonzalez. It’s really worth reading her response in full:

This tweet is highly defamatory and Martina Navratilova should be fired from BBC Sport for it. It demonstrates an horrendous level of hatred for a trans woman (who was cleared of all wrongdoing in a recent tribunal) because she is a trans woman.

This is horrific, and incredibly disappointing, from Navratilova.

The framing deserves to be torn apart, I also think there's something interesting here in the word "elite" and the way it slips among wealth and other kinds of privilege/status. IANA Manhattan elite but I imagine the financial elite and cultural elite are quite different categories...

It’s not too late to register to vote! I remember supporting a candidate who lost by 6 votes. That’s how close it can be in local elections. Don’t know where to sign up? Here is the link www.gov.uk/register-to-...

"What are we, a POOR country? In the GLOBAL SOUTH?" Surely we can discuss threats to Fed independence and the appropriate justifications for interest rate cuts -- and we must! -- without this kind of rhetoric.

I mean, if anyone did, it was her.

Causal identification fanatics need to reconsider their life choices.

I think I'm coming to view LLMs as essentially being the Fae. The Fae are usually seen as not having souls, and therefore not having consciousness in a way we can recognize; they don't understand the difference between lies and truth, kindness and cruelty; >

Reigate is, traditionally, True Blue. But something strange has been happening over the last few years (yes, even before the lovely @zackpolanski.bsky.social became our leader). Reigate has been turning Green.

Impressively nuanced interview (auf Deutsch) with @isabellamweber.bsky.social (at 6 min) on energy shock — advocates inter alia cheaper public transit to raise relative cost of driving and international market interventions modelled on Russian oil price controls. podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/w...

Local Tory MP sends out a flyer on a green background with no mention of her party affiliation or her obsessive anti-trans campaigning. A sign of the times?

It’s a beautiful day to go leafleting with the dog. @eastsurreygreens.bsky.social
