855,000 adults in the UK identify as bisexual, yet many bisexual people face erasure, biphobia and higher rates of mental health difficulties. Everybody deserves to feel seen, regardless of sexual orientation. Happy Bi Visibility Day ♥️💜💙

The Equality Party welcomes this important step towards justice for survivors of rape and sexual abuse. However, justice after violence isn’t enough. #EqualityParty #EndViolenceAgainstWomen #WomensRights #VAWG #UKPolitics

What if we stopped talking about social care as a burden? Care is something a wealthy country should be proud to provide. It gives people dignity and quality of life, and the mostly women who provide it (both paid and unpaid), deserve proper recognition. Andy Burnham: what's your plan?

🚨 SEND children need better support, not fewer legal rights. EHCPs provide vital legal protections. Government proposals could restrict them to children with “complex needs”, leaving others reliant on school support plans. Reform SEND — don’t remove rights. #SEND #Equality

The care gap is not a women’s to-do list. A recent BBC article on the mental load for parents puts the solution in the wrong place. Women can’t organise their way out of the care gap. It’s a political problem. We need political solutions. #CareGap #WomensRights #GenderEquality #MentalLoad

Austerity is a political choice. Kay's report from the Anti-Austerity Summit looks at the ideas and discussions and asks how we can move from simply opposing austerity towards a positive alternative: communities where everyone has the opportunity to flourish. #Equality #SocialJustice

The Equality Party welcomes the UK’s proposed ban on goods produced in illegal Israeli settlements in the occupied West Bank, but the UK must take stronger action against settlement expansion and use its influence to uphold international law, and protect Palestinian people.

Gloria Steinem died this week aged 92. Gloria leaves behind an extraordinary contribution. She saw enormous progress in her life, yet there is still so much more to do. We remember her with gratitude for the doors she helped open, and for those she inspired to keep pushing them wider. #Equality

Reform claims Britain’s housing crisis is the fault of immigrants. But 89% of new social housing lettings already go to UK nationals. So this isn't about immigrants “taking our homes”. It is about decades of government failure to provide enough genuinely affordable social housing. #Equality

TW: DA and SV Tell asylum seekers the law by all means, but don't scapegoat them for the massive home-grown problems of domestic abuse and sexual violence - over 1.5 million crimes last year. It's time to end men's violence against women and girls across our entire society. #VAWG #Equality

Trigger warning: sexual assault. 😢 We have an epidemic of men's violence against women and girls in this country with over 2000 attacks a day. 👮‍♂️ Less than 1% of rapes results in a conviction. If the Government is serious about its VAWG strategy, let's see some action, now. #VAWG #equality

Party Leader Kay Wesley on the EHRC guidance that discriminates against trans people. Could this become Labour's 'Section 28'? Trans people are leaving the UK for exile in Europe due to the persecution they face here. Will Andy Burnham fix it? #howaboutitAndy #equality #EHRC

Human trafficking is not a distant issue - it is happening here in the UK. Traffickers exploit inequality, poverty, discrimination and vulnerability for profit. Ending trafficking means tackling these inequalities, protecting children and working to end violence against women and girls.

🏳️‍⚧️The EHRC Code of Practice on trans rights coming into force on the 5th of August. 👎The guidance says that trans women should be excluded from women’s facilities they have been using for years, including toilets. This is discriminatory and will potentially harm ALL women.

Today we honour the Windrush Generation and their lasting contribution to Britain. Members of the Windrush Generation were wrongly treated as illegal immigrants - losing jobs, homes, and access to healthcare. Some were detained or even removed from the country. We stand with the Windrush Generation.

At the end of 2025, 118 million people were forcibly displaced by persecution, violence or conflict. Around 45 million were children. The UK hosts 8% of displaced refugees in Europe, compared with 20% in Germany and 15% in France. This Refugee Week, let's stand alongside those seeking safety.

In the discussion of Misogyny in Public life, I pointed out that there is one new political force that is not right-wing and misogynistic, doesn’t subscribe to combat politics and indeed has a majority of women. Join the Equality Party here: www.equalityparty.org.uk

The football brings joy to millions, however for many women and children, it can bring fear. Violence against women and girls is not just confined to match days, however research shows that violence escalates during major football tournaments, with up to a 38% increase in reporting in England.
