If there happens to be anyone considering standing for Labour leader, then this is worth reading and reflecting on. You may have wanted this issue to go away but it’s going to be part of the debate. #labourparty #labourleadership @andyburnham.bsky.social @wesstreeting.bsky.social @.bsky.social

Our statement on the Scottish Labour manifesto and its concerning implications for the trans community. With thanks especially from Scottish Young Labour and Scottish Labour Students for standing in solidarity. 🏳️‍⚧️🌹

We are hugely disappointed by the transphobic language and policy points included in Scottish Labour’s manifesto released this week. As representatives of the LGBT+ community, trade unionists, and party members from across the labour movement, we condemn the Scottish Labour leadership's concession to reactionary, trans-exclusionary rhetoric, which stands in contrast to the views of Labour members and votes at Scottish Labour's Conference in 2025. These decisions constitute a severe error of judgment and failure to listen to trans voices within our party.

LGBT+ Labour have said nothing about the appointment of Mary-Ann Stephenson or Bridget Phillipson ignoring the WEC and JCHR to do so. It is blindingly clear that the current committee neither has the confidence of the trans community or deserve it. We need change. We demand an AGM.

The decision that the LGBT Labour National Committee made this evening to cancel our AGM at the last minute is an unprecedented overreach of their authority, will allow them to stay in office longer than our constitution allows and is blindingly anti-democratic.

Our statement on LGBT+ Labour National Committee's decision to postpone the AGM. We fully intend to contest the LGBT+ Labour AGM. Trans rights are human rights 🏳️‍⚧️

This afternoon, LGBT+ Labour's leadership informed the National Committee that they'll be delaying the AGM to an unspecified date, on the justification that it's unclear whether trans people will be allowed to run as their own gender.

Make no mistake: the National Committee are doing this because they’re running scared and knew we would win a democratic vote next weekend. If they planned to make these changes to the elections, they would have done so before our slate was announced, not when our campaign was picking up steam.

It’s beyond disgusting that an LGBT+ organisation is willing to betray its trans members in such a fundamental way just to cling on to committee positions. It is not, however, a surprise: it simply confirms what we already knew about the cliquey, careerist and top-down way in which the organisation has been operating. LGBT+ Labour has failed to speak up for trans members, and is now content to deny their existence.

We fully intend to contest the LGBT+ Labour AGM and give members a proper choice. We will also use every route available to us to contest the extraordinary decision that has been made.

If you’re not already an LGBT+ Labour member, join up now and help us get ready for the AGM. It’s time we took our organisation back.

Trans rights are human rights.

The current LGBT+ Labour National Committee is not interested in securing trans rights. They've failed to challenge Government actions that are liable to lead to the removal of trans people as a class. It's an unfortunate action to take, but I cannot let our future lie in their hands.

A standout for me is that voters consider themselves to be among the least influential groups on policy. Getting big money out of politics is not only essential on obvious moral and democratic grounds, but could boost turnout by making people know that their vote matters.

This is a great read with lots of excellent policy suggestions. Their easy win recommendations for this parliament are: • Automatic voter registration • £100,000 annual cap on political donors • Votes at 16 • An election day service

I'm seeing a lot of takes based on this data, that uses surveys of local councilors of each MP's party. Though it probably has its uses, I'd take a method that puts Zarah Sultana to the right of Wes Streeting with a grain of salt.

Not sure how that's relevant. Also they have a combined population of ~3 billion and produce much of the goods consumed by the rest of the world. They should work to reduce emissions, sure, why does that mean we shouldn't do our part to reduce global hunger? Seems like you're grasping at straws.
