Why did the BBC erase Bethany’s “Protect The Dolls” T-shirt on Strictly?.. Maybe because JKR’s ‘gender critical’ transphobic friends are installed at the highest level? 🤔🤔🤔 👇🏻👇🏻👇🏻

Bethany wore a “Protect The Dolls” t-shirt during rehearsals. The BBC posted it on their socials then quietly deleted and reposted it without showing her from the front. On TV last night they actually blurred the message #Strictly

I appreciate that some Jewish members of the Party, recognising the close ties between the Jewish institutional world and Zionist politics, are concerned about the passing of this motion. As an officer of Jewish Greens I have offered to make time for any Jewish member who is feeling that way ...

Catching up with some admin this Saturday evening. Decided to cancel the renewal of my cat's pet insurance becuase she's 18, in poor health, hates the vets & I therefore only intend to take her there for one reason. So getting tearful about canceling insurance...

Suella Braverman selling 106 copies of her book after all that publicity is so delicious.
Crack 'em while you can, though, because Suella's star might just be on the skids. Despite plugging her book on Question Time, on Tim Shipman's Spectator podcast, in serialised excerpts in the Daily Mail, and in a fawning interview with Allison Pearson in the Telegraph, in its opening weekend, Patriot sold precisely 106 copies.

Yes, YATA! If you are 18, you are not legally a child anymore. You are also a GROWN WOMAN! If you are uncomfortable with her age, fine. Isolating her due to an 3 year age gap is just bullying. Stop behaving like a secondary school “mean girl” and grow TF up!

I don’t think city planners and architects understand cities at all if they can illustrate this type of graphic without asking the question of why that space isn’t used? Freeways are loud, unpleasant gashes in cities and the only way to create this level of vibrancy is to remove them

The ability to pour hundreds of millions of pounds into a loss-making TV channel, bent on wrenching British politics sharply to the right, is yet another of the ways in which extreme wealth is trying to remake UK democracy. It needs to be part of any serious conversation about political funding.

A new poll shows the older a respondent was, the less likely they were to say they'd date a bi person, regardless of sexuality.  📩 Subscribe to understand the data: www.wearequeeraf.com/understand-the…
A new poll has found while nearly half of Britons have a positive opinion about bisexual people, a majority of women wouldn't date bi men.

Marking Bisexual Visibility Day, a new YouGov poll found that nearly half (48%) of Britons have a positive opinion about the bi community, with only 8% having an explicitly negative view. 41% said they were neutral.
