because burnham actually acted on his transphobia implemented the horrendous ehrc guidance, which the un says “risks institutionalising discrimination” implemented the kcsie guidance, which, among other things, bans materials which ‘encourage’ children to question their gender (section 28 again)

If the pro trans politicians in Labour would admit that Labour views and policies are the problem I would believe them more when they say they’re an ally. But they’re just blaming Reform saying they are dividing us while it’s currently Labour. Reform are bad but that does not mean Labour aren’t.

people are still trying to do the “burnham supports trans rights” bullshit from makerfield? using old quotes is pretty weak when: - his last quote was openly transphobic - the equality minister he appointed is publicly promoting bio-essentialism - he oversaw the guidance and section 28 passing

Burnham also said that he thinks “the time has come to take the Supreme Court ruling and the guidance and implement it” during his election campaign. Burnham says a lot of things; a supportive statement from last year is just words. He hasn’t signalled any movement since implementing the guidances.

tony blair successfully rebranded thatcherism as 'centrism'. now if you speak to a 'centrist' they are ferociously right wing and bigoted but they think they're moderates. andy burnham is trying to rebrand thatcherism as progressivism. if we let him get away with that we are all truly fucked.

“…would be offered help according to a “holistic” assessment of their needs” Can’t think where I’ve heard that before…🤔 Oh wait… And we know where that leads.
The Health Department's minister of state for secondary care, Karin Smyth, said during a Tuesday (13 January) Commons debate, the Government has supported plans to move away from the "medical intervention model" when providing care for trans and non-binary young people.
Instead, it planned on moving towards a "holistic approach" to treatment based on evidence provided by the Cass Review - a controversial independent analysis into health care for trans youngsters in the UK.

The foot in the door
four frame comic. each frame has the text on top in white. first frame shows jk rowling. second frame shows trump and erdogan in suits doing thumbs up. third shows the istanbul landscape. fourth shows Talarico giving a speech in front of the podium. text reads:
"protecting the children"
has become the foot in the
door of fascism.
last weekend (sept. 12th-13th),
under the pretense of "protecting
the children," trump's turkish
bestie erdogan led a massive
anti-lgbtq crackdown.
in an extraordinary esca-
lation, legal proceedings were
announced against 160 people.
about 50 activists have been
arrested. associations and
homes have been ransacked
across the country.
so when we hear people who
are supposedly our allies use
the same language as erdogan,
we owe it to our turkish
siblings to call it out.

BASH BACK @bashback.bsky.social · 12/09/2026
The London Assembly, spurred on by Reform UK, have elected to publicly condemn BASH BACK. This is a blatant attempt to distract from a wave of fascist and anti-trans violence conducted and spurred on by the state, politicians, and right-wing agitators. We won't be intimidated (1/2)
"London Assembly Publicly Condemns BASH BACK at Behest of Reform UK.
We won't be intimidated. Statement follows.""On 10th september 2026, the London Assembly voted to publicly condemn BASH BACK and call for its proscription by the Home Secretary.

This vote was called by alex wilson am of Reform UK, and voted through exclusively by Conservative and Reform Party members of the Assembly, with Lib Dems and Green members voting against, and Labour AMs abstaining.

This is a blatant attempt by the fascist right to criminalise disruptive non-violent protest as the state increases its stranglehold on trans lives, and Reform and the Conservatives celebrate violence within their own parties."Justifying their decision the Assembly have relied on the language of disgraced former MP and alleged sex-pest and bully John Woodcock (which we critiqued in our article for Freedom Press), as well as parroting the lie that BASH BACK is a violent organisation, due to - apparently - our depictions of hammers on social media. 

In doing this, Britain’s right have shamelessly weaponised the legacy of Jo Cox, whose murder by a neo-Nazi has long since been used to justify acts of authoritarian state violence, rather than to critique or condemn the xenophobic fascism that informed her murderer. 

Why? Because Reform UK practice that exact same kind of nationalist authoritarianism.

Reform have used BASH BACK - a non-violent group - as a scapegoat to evade their ideological connection to a wave of increasing anti-migrant and fascist violenceEchoing Woodcock, the Assembly also goes on to make serious accusations about our group surrounding the death of Anne Widdicombe, tantamount to interfering with a police investigation.

Despite stating this numerous times in the past, we must once again maintain that we do not practice any form of violence against any individual, and would never endorse or celebrate such violence. We never commented on Anne Widdicombe or her death before these accusations, and we do not wish physical harm on any individual. 



The same, however, cannot be said for Reform UK.
