"This Labour Government is the worst thing to have ever happened to trans children." Do you recall, back in the 2010s, that campaign of videos where #LGBTQ+ people, including celebs, sent the message "it gets better" to prevent kids killing themselves? 16 years later, this. What the fuck happened?

Why is the Burnham government attempting to silence Good Law Project’s criticism of Palantir in the NHS…? Orwellian.

I strongly believe schools should bring children together rather than try to impose one religious identity on them. If you agree - please add your name and call on the Education Secretary to introduce inclusive assemblies for all, and to keep dangerous Christian Nationalism OUT of our schools.

A £276 increase in bills in January would be the final straw for millions across the country. The Prime Minister must turn words into actions and stop bills going up on his watch.
Green graphic image with Hannah Spencer's photo quoting her: 'The Prime Minister must commit to stopping bills rising'. Full quote reads:

“Andy Burnham keeps talking about giving families breathing space. But actions speak louder than words and bills are still going up on his watch when people can’t afford it.  

A £276 increase in January would be the final straw for many people in the constituency I represent and for millions across the country.

The Prime Minister must commit now to stopping bills going up in January, starting with moving more costs off energy bills, properly funding a national home insulation scheme, clamping down on rampant profiteering by energy companies, and rapidly scaling up cheaper, cleaner energy.”

A young brown-and-white calf stands inside a livestock auction ring, looking directly toward the viewer. Behind the metal railings, blurred buyers watch while one raises a hand to bid and another holds paperwork. Above the photograph, bold black text reads: “Many people say they would never hurt an animal. Then they pay someone to do it and call themselves animal lovers.” The quote is attributed to Michael Corthell. The Vegan’s Voice logo appears inside an ivory badge in the lower-right corner.

Animal welfare asks how animals may be used. Animal rights asks why they are denied the right to say no. #animalrights
Four-panel cartoon inside a bright laboratory. A woman with black hair in a bun wears a white lab coat over a blue-and-white striped shirt, black pants, and red sneakers. She holds a clipboard with a green checkmark beside a white rabbit sitting freely on an examination table. The woman says, “We follow animal welfare rules.” The rabbit asks, “Do the rules let me say no?” Looking uncomfortable, she answers, “No.” In the final panel, the rabbit faces the reader and says, “Then they protect the test, not me.” “The Vegan’s Voice” appears beneath the panels.

“The question is not whether we can afford to remain within the Convention [ECHR]. It is whether, in an increasingly dangerous world, we can afford not to” Political liars and lightweights, like Badenoch and Farage, must never be allowed to take that risk. www.lawgazette.co.uk/commentary-a...
The Law Society
Gazette

In short, if Britain were to leave the ECHR, it would not be
'taking back control. It would be surrendering influence over the rules and institutions that help keep us safe.
The debate about the ECHR is too often conducted as though it were a choice between national sovereignty and international law. That is a false choice.
The Convention advances British interests because it reflects British values: liberty under law, democratic government and the accountability of power.
Walking away would not make Britain freer. It would make Britain weaker.

“The fight back against the EHRC guidance and to rebuild trans rights starts here.” Labour has wilfully enabled the biggest removal of trans rights and healthcare in Western Europe, and set us back over 20 years. So, no, we have no faith that a ‘rebuild’ will ever happen under a Labour govt.
