Ah yes, those famously anti-Semitic Jewish human rights barristers. (/sarcasm). When will @andyburnham.bsky.social see what a farce the @labouruk.bsky.social has become and reverse this?

So gross that @labouruk.bsky.social are planning to authorise drilling after the election. They know the electorate don't want it. They know it's wrong. They know it won't lower our bills. But they'll to do it anyway. Because we don't matter to them. Profits do. Vote Green 💚

Damn, sure wish trans people had warned everyone that the same rhetoric used to attack trans people would be reused to attack other people too. Transphobia. Misogyny. Racism. Classism. Ableism. Homophobia. Islamophobia. Anti-Semitism. It's all the same thing and they all follow the same playbook.

Justin Webb when he, a privileged cisgender man with no connection to trans people at all, isn't allowed full control over trans women's bodies and rights.

Naomi Cunningham casually calling for the total end of all trans healthcare entirely?

A screenshot of a post on LinkedIn from Nick Wallis: "Welsh Gender Service surgery referrals and scheduled surgeries paused over safety fears". There is a link to a Times article "Only transgender clinic in Wales cancels all operations over safety concerns".

Naomi Cunningham has replied "Could we finally be moving into the "then all at once" phase?"

This is the most transparent, unarguable proof that @supremecourt.uk are not impartial any more - they are actively and gleefully against human rights. I'm no longer going to have much patience for people who continue to claim otherwise.

Today I met with our trans, non-binary and gender diverse members. So many members have written to us explaining that the updated EHRC guidance is unworkable. I will work with our trans non-binary and gender diverse members to change the law for legal gender recognition.

So GBR is a huge grift then, and the main part of a train network isn't going public at all. Great that Kate is calling this out but damn, this is a classic Labour bait & switch. Why she remains in a party that is clearly fundamentally opposed to all of her principles & views is beyond me.

Thank every deity we still have some politicians who see this as the insensitive evil that it is, and are willing to call out it.

Really refreshing to see so many councils and green groups standing up against the EHRC's immoral and unworkable slop guidance. Thanks 💚

I spoke to @novaramedia this week about the EHRC's new Code of Practice which has now come into effect. We're seeing trans people's place in society continually questioned by those in positions of power and this code of practice will only increase gender policing. [1/2]

We don't need more data centres. We need to make better use of the data centres we have today. Most businesses running in the cloud massively over provision their virtual machine capacity, and cloud providers are all too happy to sell it to them.

For the last 2 years I've been cooking. What if we could have a truly managed Kubernetes platform that takes the headache of running a cluster off your hands? And what if we could do it in a serverless way, to massively reduce wasteful compute usage? Announcing @keisson.com, which does just that!

So the Gender Recognition Act 2004 truly is completely meaningless now it seems. One wonders what "for all purposes" was intended to cover...

"Organisations which also want to remain gay-inclusive need to receive support on how to do so within the law. In a similar way, those that wish to exclude gay men and lesbians from their spaces also need to know how to do so..." If it's not ok to say the above, then it's not ok to say the below.

Great report into the rise of transphobia in the UK from @amnestyuk.bsky.social. We all knew the media were out for trans people, of course, but it is still jaw dropping to see the hard figures about how relentless the anti-trans narrative in the UK has been. media.amnesty.org.uk/documents/Li...

Key findings

- Between January 2020 and April 2025, media coverage of issues about trans people has been excessively high compared to the size of the trans population, their role in society, and public interest in these topics.

- Across the four outlets, a total of 17,000 articles were published between
January 2020 and April 2025, an average of 264 articles per month, or 9 per day.

- Most media reports about trans people have a negative sentiment, while trans people are hardly seen in stories. When they do appear, it is as criminals or murder victims.

Politicians are constantly going on about increasing Britain's productivity. it seems counter-intuitive, therefore, that they've guaranteed every trans person in the country will be struggling to work this week, on account of being sick with worry with what fresh hell is about to be announced.

Damn, this would be fantastic if they proceed with it. I hope Reeves sticks with this idea. The way our energy is priced at the moment is an enormous rip off to consumers - finally decoupling the cost of renewables and gas would be a massive positive step.

Either the civil service was conspiring to get Mandelson back in power against the advice of the, uh, civil service... or ministers knew and number 10 was smart enough to try firewall and deflect. The evidence is probably on Macsweeney's phone that he threw into the Tham... had stolen.

In fairness, in what world would you personally be told about someone else's vetting and whether the result was overruled? For all you know, this could be happening all the time. The fact the security services aren't briefing a random Lib Dem about it is hardly proof it isn't happening.

So the line is that there was a massive conspiracy within the civil service to secretly & inappropriately enable the political appointment of a guy who was best mates with, politically aligned with, and originally appointed by, our political leaders, but none of our political leaders knew about it.

I am convinced that the next medical scandal to hit the UK is the straight up lie that all generic and branded versions of a drug are exactly the same, with no differences in interactions and absorption. The NHS absolves itself from all responsibility by simply assuming that it's fine.
