Every cis person needs to read and understand this.These decisions aren’t taken lightly. Our Labour government is effectively making political refugees of trans ppl and their families who flee and seek safety overseas. It’s shameful. They can stick their dignity and respect where the sun don’t shine

Yes, the president leaked Tom Cotton's cell phone number, but you should not sign Tom Cotton up for Act Blue donation requests or testosterone pill scams or other things like that, because that would be very funny.

So, £72million from crypto billionaires to get Reform “ready for government”. Absolutely no chance. They have over 300 candidates to find and this is their track record… They attract total liabilities and Reform is too racist, corrupt and idiotic to recruit anything better.
