Labour Minister Chris Ward says Andy Burnham can’t do much because there’s ’no money’. This nonsense is why Labour fails. The 50 richest families own as much wealth as 50% of population. Don’t let Labour tell you it’s not possible to transfer this obscene wealth into the hands of the many.

Did EHRC just say on wireless that it's to do with sex, nothing to do with appearance. Yet there's no way to legally confirm someone's sex, guidelines acknowledge that, so it absolutely will be on appearance & will just increase harassment, discrimination, threats & embolden those who want to do so.

Do this today. Even if your MP is awful. Don't let them claim that they only had emails from constituents opposing trans rights. It really does only take seconds to fill out.

Sorry, you're telling me that Kathleen Stock LIED to the Office for Students?!? And the OFS based their decision to fine the University of Sussex half a million pounds in part on that lie!? I am shocked! Shocked I tell you! I never could have predicted such a thing might come to pass!

Every Harry Potter book or shirt you buy directly funds the persecution of trans people. There's absolutely no excuse to support anything Harry Potter anymore unless you hate trans people.

Richard Reeves is Chair of new Centre for Policy Research on Men & Boys. In his book he argues boys should start school later & have longer early years curriculum (not girls). He says men are biologically more lusty than women. He says biologically men are risk takers & more likely to save others.

A trans woman cozies up to her trans girlfriend with a worried expression. She asks "babe, what's the matter? Why can't you get off?" The girlfriend, forlorn, sighs. She clenches her fist emphatically and looks upward toward an imagined, uncaring God. She says "it's just..." She opens her hand and stares in front of her with a 1000 yard stare and finishes "Neoliberalism." The first woman looks annoyed, pissed off.

The problem is not that Goodwin and co are reactionary grifters, it's been clear for years It is that they are still invited to "debate" their ideas as if they were legitimate Fact-checking has done nothing to defeat them. Their goal isn't good faith debate, it's about occuping mainstream space

We should not be shocked that transphobes support Trump, their allegiance to the far right was always a given What should really shock us is how wilfully oblivious to it so many mainstream voices have been - no, transphobes don't "know better", you've just been a conveniently naive fool
Ian Dunt tweet about GC supporting Trump:

Just the most frightful horrendous bollocks from people who should damn well know better.

It is telling self-proclaimed 'liberals' think the issue with politics today is 'the left' being mean to them rather than really existing liberalism having failed to counter the reactionary onslaught (which in fact it enabled)... Why reflect when things are going so well...

A brown-haired woman stand before a court in a red drass with a black waistband. She appeals to the judge "your honour, I may have committed mail fraud, but I can also do the entire Kate Bush Wuthering Heights Dance." She extends her arms forward in front of her, then does a flourishing pirouette. The judge bangs his gavel. With great intensity he shouts "I've seen enough! Not guilty!" The women looks humble in her legal victory.
