Oh I could not be sadder at this news. An incredible campaigning broadcaster. I remember vividly the impact of Childline when I was very young, and recently Dame Esther was a dedicated supporter of the assisted dying work I was involved in. Huge love to all her family. www.bbc.co.uk/news/live/cq...

I'll believe Burnham is a progressive when he brings forward laws to undo our historically hostile position against LGBTQ+ people, immigrants and refugees, and protesters. Until then he's just Blue Labour with better vibes.

I wrote to the EHRC chair about how she must monitor the impact of her code of practice on trans and nonbinary rights, and inclusive organisations. It is her statutory duty to do so and is vital if we are to make legal gender recognition for trans people a reality again in the UK. buff.ly/AhfkaJr

The Labour Party’s women’s conference on 26/9/26 was an embarrassing farce, with only 200 delegates of the 1,000 normal attendance (no major unions) in protest of the Labour Party’s shameful abandonment of trans people following the legally absurd ruling of the Supreme Court in FWS in April 2025.

  This had become the new normal. RNLI crew members had been forced to take their permits off their cars after their tyres have been repeatedly slashed. Most of them have been pilloried at the school gates or turned away from local pubs. One man who worked in search and rescue had been beaten unconscious and hospitalised, recognised for TV interviews he had done.
