The rich, non-domiciled, fascistic elite want to turn Great Britain into the most unregulated, corrupt country in the world. Brexit was their first step.

Well done Hungary 🇭🇺❤️

Right then, Bristol - Did you know you have a Folk Fest? Well you do and we're playing at it. Sat 2nd May. We'll be doing some of L's May stuff too no doubt + our 5**** (Guardian, Mojo, Songlines) album HINTERLAND. BUY TICKETS!!! bristolfolkfestival.org/lisa-knapp-g... @concertedartists.bsky.social

Hi Bluesky, been a bit quiet here as I’ve been trying to promote my book on Insta with reels like this ⬇️ It’s another grim insight into Helen Joyce’s hate filled brain which perfectly illustrates her contempt for trans people and those that love them. www.instagram.com/reel/DXCwJOH...

If you return unwanted Reform local election leaflets to their party headquarters using their free post address, then it will cost the party £2.50 per envelope. Please don’t share this information; it could cost Nigel Farage a fortune.

Nigel and his nasty authoritarian pals want us, and the EU, weaker out. But as the world becomes more uncertain, and our traditional alliances crumble, the UK is clearly stronger in.

Thank you for making my heart lift as I open the blinds.

War, what is it good for? 🙌🏽 Absolutely nothing‼️👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽 Springsteen aka The Boss still knows how to shake the ground & remind us what really matters. 💃🏽🤘🏽🎸🕺🏼

CNN panel flips out when Emma mentions the genocide in Gaza youtu.be/cP2KNTWu5aA

Many of my colleagues spoke today in favor of a bill to fight sex trafficking as their blind, proud, fervent support of that pedo creep Donald Trump undermines the credibility their every word. Their president is the sex trafficker in chief.

Senator Chris Murphy, "The Strait of Hormuz was open before the war began" "We are now seeking to solve a problem that we created" "This is insanity"

Really significant, I think, that the leaders of the Greens and Lib Dems were very visible at Transmission, very happy to publicly demonstrate a commitment to the dignity of trans people. But the Labour frontbench, which still likes to cosplay respect for human rights, was nowhere to be seen.

On a walk around #Conwy yesterday, I spotted something I hadn't noticed before. This magnificent #Gothic railway arch, built in 1840, through the #Medieval walls. It even continues the castellated parapet! Zoom in, and you can see where bits were chipped away as trains got bigger! #photograph #photo

Feeling childishly happy that Maya Forstater and Julie Bindel were in the crowd when I ad libbed both my TERF comment and @transparentaction plug for affirming parents. Full speech here with subtitles. There was a palpable shift in the room. A kind of hushed roar for Alice. It was very special.

🚨URGENT: Trump's UNHINGED DHS pick—Markwayne Mullin—confirmation hearing tentatively set for next week! He defends ICE fatally shooting citizens, backs expelling US-born kids, objected to 2020 election results. Tell your Senators: BLOCK this nomination!

I generally assume that political parties know what their constituencies think better than the rest of us do: they spend so much money on polling and focus groups. But I would be *amazed* if they understood how viscerally they are loathed by young progressives for pushing trans people under a bus.

Tomorrow Wes Streeting will remove trans minors ability to access, and doctors to prescribe, cross-sex hormones. Try as it might Labour will never eradicate trans people. They cannot, and should not, change who they are. All Labour will do is make trans lives harder - with more harm and more death.

Let's hope this opens up space for change within the Labour Party. There is not a fascist, or misogynist, political leader in the world whose position on trans rights differs from Labour's.

"Politicians must stop prioritising 'socially and ecologically destructive growth' that only increases the profits – and serves the consumption demands – of the world’s richest individuals and corporations." I expect Starmer would call him an extremist.

We had an absolute blast last week playing a wonderful sold out gig in Belper, thanks to @bdrandy.bsky.social and then at the lovely. @trinityartscentre.bsky.social. Thanks to aaaaall of you who came and made our weekend! xx

Tomorrow we are in the High Court suing Reform for breaching data processing rules. We think it's really quite important. 👇

Might we tactfully point out that to obsess negatively with trans people when the richest and most powerful men in the world are trying to reverse centuries of humane progress and equality to acquire impunity for rape and murder shows a weird sense of priorities?

On the Tibetan plateau, China has installed a 16-17 GW mega solar plant that is turning an alpine desert into a “micro-oasis”: more moisture, more grass, and soils with more carbon under 64 km² of panels www.ecoticias.com/en/on-the-ti...

It should never be possible for any minister to revoke citizenship with a stroke of the pen. #checks #balances Jenrick - like Farage - wants to be an unaccountable tyrant like Trump.

We will never know *how much* this is attributable to Labour's decision to track not tackle Reform's rhetoric of hate on immigration. But that Labour *helped* render these views acceptable cannot, surely, be doubted.

How and when did it become unacceptable to be anti- Zionist? My Uncle was a synagogue attending, Tory voting, High Court judge who was (two decades ago) anti-Zionist. He'd be amazed to read this passage (and others) in Sigrid Rausing's piece in The Times (web.archive.org/web/20251227...).

Well, would you want bigots pushing a hard right billionaire funded patriarchal agenda in your boozer?

Goodness me, these judicial comments are astonishingly damming of the Campaign Against Antisemitism. news.sky.com/story/regina...

“The issue is men. So maybe we need a man only carriage where we put them all in the back of the train and they can just stay there and harass each other": @patsystevenson.bsky.social on the money, as always.

I hope to be on the right drugs* to get to this gig. I missed their last London gig due to mental discombobulation. Wonderful duo/group/couple/folk. ❤️ . . . . . . . . . . * for ADHD (inattentive type) 💊

An important piece of work. 👇🏻

June Lockhart in SHE-WOLF OF LONDON (1946) #RIP

In @yougov.co.uk polling of the trans community, to the best of our knowledge the first of its kind ever conducted, an astonishing 84% said Britain is “fairly unsafe” or “very unsafe” for trans people. goodlaw.social/ncfw

My mornings' work has been to break the internet by posting too many TOUR DATES at once on FB! I've also uploaded them to BANDSINTOWN so give us a follow on that to keep up with it all...CLICK BELOW @concertedartists.bsky.social @knappdivermusic.bsky.social @gerrydiver.bsky.social bnds.us/xrxlbq

When the PB ban came in I wailed to a friend about our transphobic government. She listened patiently then said “but they had to do something because of all the court cases”. My reply “There was one. It got overturned”, was dismissed with bluster and a wave of the hand. Cis people are the problem.

With legal challenges to this law pending, we cannot justify building the expensive required infrastructure. For now, we have made the difficult decision to block access in Mississippi. To learn more, read our blog post:

A big reason I prefer BlueSky over other social media platforms is its moderation system 🛡️. Although other platforms have moderation tools, BlueSky’s approach is far more effective and reliable. That’s why it remains my favorite 💙 @bsky.app Thank you so much for giving us such a wonderful platform 💙

Big thanks to Lewis for debunking the dangerous misinformation going around about nationality and sexual assault statistics. Bottom line - the big headlines over the last few days have no basis in the facts. Irresponsible reporting from major news outlets stirring up fear.

LinkedIn has removed hate speech protections for transgender people and people of color. www.advocate.com/news/linkedi...

"Complicity is the US’s foreign policy in Palestine." — Francesca Albanese

What, you thought it would stop with the proscribing of Palestine Action? No, all visible opposition to Israel's genocide must end. www.theguardian.com/world/2025/j...

Now Labour has legitimized the proscription of non-terrorist organisations that embarrass it you have to wonder what fun future Governments will have with the practice.

The image that should form in your mind as you read this thread is of loving families desperately fighting to keep their kids healthy and alive whilst being harried at every turn by the NHS, social services, the police, the British media, and the Labour Government. If this isn't fascism what is?
