The even more unbelievable crime fact (which I learned relatively recently) is that burglary has fallen by more than 90% since the 1990s. Did anyone notice? Nope. Does anyone believe it? Nope. But is is true? It is!

Sending so much love and solidarity to those affected and worried by the Supreme Court's awful, regressive decision passed this morning, taking us backwards at a time we should be moving forwards and making progress. 

We wholeheartedly support the calls to appeal this decision to the European Court of Human Rights. At a time when trans and non-binary people bear the brunt of so much discrimination, we will continue to play our part: fighting for liberation, for equality, and for a fairer country for the whole LGBTIQA+ community.

Unsurprising that Labour, who removed clean air targets from its manifesto, is giving diesel and petrol hybrids another half a decade to be sold. The 2030 phase out only applies to cars sold in the UK. Spinning this as a tariff response is nonsense. My full response 👇
