This is genuinely massive, like earth-shakingly big in terms of pushing back the anti-trans exclusion drive. The anti-trans movement have lost a case they didn't expect to lose and really couldn't afford to. I can't imagine them not appealing (near infinite money) but now the precedent exists.

You need to realise what the real agenda here is. "This will clear the court backlog" is a cover story that is believable. But "this will make it easier to imprison protesters" is the real intention.

Trans children denied participation in society because of the Supreme Court and EHRC. To attack us adults is one thing but to attack children is another. The UK needs to lose its GANHRI A accreditation. #LeaveTransKidsAlone www.girlguiding.org.uk/information-...

The BBC TV Licensing department is getting festive 🎄 with their unwarranted legal threats.

The intent of all of this is increasingly clear - it is to hound not only every trans person out of public life, but force every person who is not explicitly anti-trans either out of employment or into silence.

One good thing about this time of year is that water from the tap is ice cold already ❄️

hi! it's my first day of my new job as a Your Party conference organiser; sorry if things are slightly hectic.

Your Patriarchy.

no I'm being serious. it's not illegal. vandalism is, so don't break them. but if you just gently roll it onto its side or place traffic cones around it so it can't move. you're all good You absolutely should stop these things from operating successfully. People need jobs, not robots.

The diplomatic "achievement" of the ceasefire was to recalibrate the tempo of the genocide sufficiently to get it off the front pages and the news bulletins, thus alleviating the political pressure on Israel's western accomplices. www.theguardian.com/world/2025/n...

We're close to the world's first-ever broad-spectrum antiviral. In a breakthrough, researchers at the City University of New York have identified a promising path to the development of an antiviral that could be used to fight a wide range of deadly viruses, including future pandemic threats.

An MP in Zimbabwe has called for the repeal of the country's "backwards" 1977 abortion law. He argued that safe abortion should be available to a wider range of Zimbabwean women, as it is currently restricted to a privileged few. Each year, 60,000 women die due to unsafe abortion.

Was speaking to Vodafone support today. They offered me 100GB for £10/month, for 24 months. For once I thought that was a good deal, so I took it. Incredibly they have doubley missold this to me. They lied about the price (mid-contract rises), and ommitted key information about the speed cap.

Excellent new video from Youtube channel “Just Have a Think” explaining how African nations are trying to catch up with Pakistan to import record levels of Chinese solar PV and batteries. Excellent video. Worth watching:

The COP30 deal has fallen short. Morally, economically, environmentally and scientifically. There are reports that a record number of fossil fuel lobbyists (1,600) attended this UN climate summit. Banning vested interests from the COP process is long overdue.

Cyclist turns down trans exclusionary honour for woman cyclists (and you can feel the BBC’s teeth grinding about it). "If they don't want to ride with all women, then it's not the kind of ride I want to be part of".

the solution is of course to just give trans kids HRT

In primary school they told us "you have sweet taste buds here, salty here, sour here" etc. And I knew that was bullshit because when I taste flavours it's not exclusive to sections of my tongue, all taste buds can taste, then the "taste bud map" was finally debunked 10 years later, science updates

1/🧵 According to the leak reported by The Times, the EHRC’s draft Code of Practice states that there is no document in this country that proves biological sex, and that trans people may refuse to disclose anything. I regard this as another success of my legal action.

🕯️ Today, we remember and mourn the ones we have lost. We will continue to fight for trans rights and equality while doing what we can to protect our community by holding people in power to account. To all of our siblings who are struggling, we see you, we hear you and you are loved.

I imagine these councillors will treat any feedback as optional, just like the pledge they signed to gain a new democratic mandate if they switched political party

To purchase tickets for France 98 you had to use a now-antiquated device called a ‘telephone’. I remember my dad deliberately using Mercury Telecom to dial the line, because the BT trunks to France were full.

Deep breath, once more for those at the back, seeking asylum is not illegal. No matter route used, which considering Labour has closed pretty much all the last remaining alternatives means irregular ones. Anti-immigration sentiments are stoked by politicians like Mahmood, not people seeking safety.

They aren't doing this "in the... vain hope of winning over the votes of racists". They are doing it because they believe in it. They are doing it because they are racists. Recognising that is very, very important, and I'm getting increadingly frustrated at liberals giving Labour a free pass on it.

If the government really intends to seize jewellery and other valuables from refugees, either - it is staggeringly ignorant of the historical precedents or - it's aware of the precedents, and thinks, yeah, we'll have some of that. www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2025...

"Home Office officials described the plans as “the most sweeping reforms to tackle illegal migration in modern times”." Almost all of the measures spoken about are to do with asylum and refugees, which is not a form of illegal immigration. www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2025...
