I think I’m still somewhat stunned, shocked, and dumbfounded by Richard E Grant. Really can’t get over it. Big credit to @joelycett.bsky.social for managing to embody the entire nation with his reaction. #CelebrityTraitors

Was pleased to hear Alex noting the silence on trans rights from Burnham. @quietriotpod.bsky.social - but what’s actually going on there? Do we have committed anti trans ideologists dictating party/government policy, or are they all just terrified of right wing headlines? If it’s the latter I think

So much of current political rhetoric can be distilled to a simple question: Do we value human life or not? Does human life have intrinsic value or does it not? Every other difficult question can be viewed through this lens IMO. @sturdyalex.bsky.social

The UK press needs some fucking accountability and it needs it now. Leveson 2 for starters but so much more. It’s beyond a joke. And still the government lets them dictate the agenda every time. #NoMoreDeaths #NoMoreLies #NoMoreDistractions.

It’s now abundantly clear that if the world ever needs an enema then they’ll stick it in Clacton. However I do recognise that almost ten thousand Calctonites understood the assignment. I applaud them and encourage them to relocate to somewhere less arseholey.

It turns out that you can actually hold a high public office and stand by values of decency and justice rather than running scared of the Rupert Murdochs of the world. A lesson UK politicians desperately need to learn.

@dhothersall.bsky.social What’s your view on the chances for any kind of reset on Labour’s progressive values? In spite of certain ministers retaining influence over immigration and equalities, presumably the direction should be set by Burnham? How approachable will Cooper be on trans healthcare?

Dear @andyburnham.bsky.social, You have said you want to put "hope in every heart" and lead a Labour Party where debate isn't surpressed. Today, the party you will lead at the start of next week has made clear it will introduce the first major segregation laws in this country in decades.

Today is the 11th anniversary of the Gender Recognition Act here in Ireland. I will always celebrate this day as the State finally recognized my gender. Decades of campaigning led to the Act. I owe a debt to those who went before me We were the 4th country in the world to bring in such legislation

Agree with this. And the same applies broadly to the so called culture wars. You’re not going to stop the far right from agitating, but you CAN take a values led approach and tell a different story that will appeal to the majority. Even a subset of the electorate that have been hoodwinked by reform.

Kind of staggered at how many supposedly serious commentators don’t see this. For whatever reason the political class seem to be unable to acknowledge the progressive voting bloc properly even when it’s slapping them in the face.

According to the EHRC groups can form for more than one protected characteristic, and an example was given that group could be formed for “women” AND trans people, but specifically not for “cis and trans women”. I don’t understand how such a thing can be law - do we not actually have anything in

I’m not suggesting the Peter Murrell story isn’t valid news, but yet again we see a disparity in how media is treating Nigel Farage and how it treats anyone from a progressive party. Nige’s 5 million seems to be low priority news now because he’s been allowed to sit out while the news cycle moves on

Solidarity is the only way out of this hole. The direction of travel puts everyone outside of the ruling class at risk. If you believe in any kind of justice, stand up now for those being marginalised. Human rights are unconditional or they’re not human rights. We should all agree on that.

Across the country, trans people are being denied vital healthcare that has nothing to do with their gender identity – simply because they are trans.

Can somebody please explain to this government that running to keep up with the Overton window’s movement is not “leading”. Real leadership would be explicitly standing up for trans people and immigrants and telling the country why it’s right to do so.

Given the onslaught of anti trans bullshit from the media and the media chasing government, this is such a wonderful thing to read. Maybe most people are actually happy for people to be themselves. Hate can wear you down and hurt you, but it can’t win in the long run.

This is such an important point. One of things I believe the equality act 2010 excelled at was its definition of trans identities being broad enough to include those proposing to undergo transition - without age qualification. This should provide a powerful legal weapon to resist this rebranding.

Watching the usual political circus unfold. Mandelson is now playing the usual lightning-rod role for an outraged political establishment. Little to no acknowledgement he’s the tip of an iceberg. This is part of a political culture that’s pushing our democracy towards corporate oligarchy.

“The Spanish government has announced a plan to legalise the status of undocumented migrants, a measure expected to benefit at least half a million people.” This is great news from Spain! 🇪🇸 It’s possible for governments to refuse racist politics and provide greater security for people who migrate.

The process will be available to foreign nationals without a criminal record who can prove they lived in Spain for five months prior to 31 December 2025.
