The UK’s housing crisis is decades in the making. Labour’s building pledge is welcome, but we need more than helping a few first-time buyers. We need more social housing, sustainable construction and genuinely affordable homes. 🏠 #EqualityParty #HousingCrisis

There was plenty to welcome in Andy Burnham’s speech, but ambition is only the beginning. Our challenge to Andy Burnham is simple: turn words into action, deliver structural reform and confront the harder questions too. #EqualityParty #LabourConference #ElectoralReform

🚨 Act now to protect SEND children's legal rights. Jo Jeffries explains why proposed SEND changes could leave children who mask their difficulties at risk of falling through the gaps. The petition closes 14 October. Sign via the link in comments. #SEND #Equality

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

We will continue to oppose policies that weaken equality protections and advocate for laws and public services that uphold the rights of everyone, regardless of their gender identity.

Equality Party @equalityparty.bsky.social · 05/08/2026
We believe these changes undermine the rights, dignity, and inclusion of trans and non-binary people. They also encourage the policing of gender through appearance and stereotypes. This will harm everyone, regardless of gender identity.

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.
