I’ve finally deleted my Twitter app and I’m going to try and click with BlueSky. I never really got on with it in the past but let’s see!

There must be an urgent inquiry into Russian interference in British politics. This story from the BBC today is incredibly concerning, and if you’re not worried, then you’re not paying attention. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

On the 30th, Nigel Farage is once again coming to play on our vulnerabilities. We need to stand firm and say NO TO REFORM.
With Nigel Farage once again coming to Hull on the 30th of March, we know his plan is to play on our community’s vulnerabilities. Less than two years on since the riots in our city, our city is still fragile. The solutions that Reform proposes are based on division and anger, and we cannot allow that to fester. People are rightly frustrated with mainstream politics - but Reform is not the answer. They seek to get rid of the NHS, workers rights, tenants rights, and basic human rights.It is not extreme or ‘woke’ to criticise Reform’s policies, because they speak for themselves. Leaving the ECHR would make us all worse off - women and disabled people would be particularly vulnerable under a Reform government. I am not somebody to declare every Reform supporter as “far-right”. People are worried. They are scared. But Reform’s policies would make us all worse off, and they must be challenged. I will be on the protest organised by Stand Up To Racism because as a gay and disabled person, I am scared of a Reform government.We need to acknowledge that the policy of ‘removing immigrants’ will not fix the problems our country faces. And we cannot allow hate to become government policy, because it never just stops with one group of ‘undesirable’ people. History has taught us that. I hope we don’t have to learn it for ourselves. On the 7th of May, vote for candidates who truly care about our community, and on the 30th of March, join us to say NO TO FARAGE.30th March at 5:00pm

HULL SAYS NO TO FARAGE

Nigel Farage is coming back to Hull. Join us to make it clear that he is not welcome in our city.

Not. Even. Close. Gorton and Denton firmly rejected Reform and the Labour Party and chose hope. A huge congratulations to the THOUSANDS of volunteers, and a huge congratulations to the sensational Hannah Spencer 👏💚

By using AI, the EHRC has utterly destroyed any glimmer of hope that they would take people seriously. Of course, expecting them to read 50,000 responses in a few weeks would be unreasonable, which is why they should have allowed more time. It's been a farce from start to finish. Shameful.

It's a great privilege to have been featured in @attitudemag.bsky.social for the September/October edition. I discussed 'Your Party' not being ready to call itself an alternative for LGBTQ+ people and how the Labour Party needs a new leader.
Jamie Strudwick - who will remain as co-chair
of Pride in Labour until February following his
resignation from this role and as a member of
the Labour Party in early August - told Attitude
before his resignation that while many people
are leaving Labour for the new left party or the
Greens, he doesn't see either of them as "a viable
alternative just yet". Of Corbyn and Sultana,
Strudwick says: "We know that they're both
pro-trans, but until I personally see tangible
evidence from them about what they'll do for
the community I don't think they're necessarily
a safe bet."

"We're not seeing any appetite from the
government to make those changes or to sit
down with trans people to discuss these topics,"
says Strudwick. "I think we would see significant
improvements with a new leader. I think Keir
Starmer has caused far too much damage and
he's eroded too much trust in the party.
"To put it bluntly, it's time for a significant
change within the Labour Party."

After cancelling my Labour membership (and others, except Unite), I'm redirecting the money: £5/month to @goodlawproject.org and £5/month to @pscupdates.bsky.social. The money I gave to Labour now funds solidarity, justice, and inclusion instead of hate, division, and inaction.

I cannot begin to express the fury I have that this appointment has been pushed through despite concerns being raised by the WEC and JCHR. It flies in the face of parliamentary process and is a huge middle finger to the importance of these committees. Utterly shameful.
