My full speech at the Labour for Trans Rights rally at Conference. This is an incredibly difficult time for trans & non-binary people, facing a relentless attack on their rights & dignity. I want everyone in our community to know that I’ll never stop standing alongside you & fighting for equality.

Gutted not to be in Liverpool today. Looking forward to Andy Burnham’s speech later. Hoping for a bold, transformative vision, but with fiscal responsibility. A man with charisma, rather than a dull technocrat. Also missing the @labour4transrights.bsky.social rally 😭😭. I’ll be there in spirit!

Ghost plates allow people to ignore speed limits and avoid CAZ/bus gate fines. “There is a problem that needs tackling and a more robust system may be needed, according to Justin Madders, the minister in charge of UK vehicle registration.” www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Having been to Conference I know of those meeting spaces. They are not massive, comfortable with ~30. Popular fringe meetings there will have people crammed in, standing inside and outside, hoping to get in. Clearly not the case here.

All members of our communities need to feel safe. We need to live by laws of the land. Show whatever flag you want on your own property 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🇬🇧 (within reason) It is my view that flags on lamposts create divisivion and fear. The council need to take firmer action on those who continue to put them up.

🚸 Families in Bristol are saving £34.5 million a year thanks to Labour’s rollout of 30hrs free childcare to 9months - 2 year olds. Labour is working hard to give families breathing space. 🌹 We’ve ended the two child limit, expanded free school meals, and brought in new breakfast clubs.

With a Labour Mayor and good public transport (London), air quality limits can be met. Yet in Bristol, with the ‘Green’ Party in charge, air quality worsens and is blamed on the weather. And yet London has been hotter than Bristol! Complete nonsense from Bristol Green Party.

Kaz Self 🏳️‍⚧️ @kazself.com · 18/09/2026

The latest data on air quality in Bristol is disappointing. My colleague Cllr Tait is correct that we need to be more ambitious. Quite astonishing that the Bristol Green Party ever thought that closing Park St would get us to compliance a year earlier. www.co.uk/news/bristol...

2/ The head-in-the-sand approach taken by right wing Parties like Reform UK should concern us all. At a recent council meeting in Bristol I called out one of Reform UK’s climate change deniers, Richard Tice (Additional 📹 from BBC West)

From vulnerable adults at Community Links, to meals-on-wheels, I am very concerned about potential cuts to Adult Social Care in Bristol. So at a recent council meeting I wanted to know the Green Party’s position. The response was a Green Councillor who could not say they support public ownership.

In workplaces & elsewhere, trans people are being bullied. I have had people calling for me to be investigated for a breach of conduct, just for peeing in my workplace. Other trans women have been filmed in toilets & intimidated in public spaces. So it’s good to see the TUC backing trans people 👏.
