September ends. Trans people are still here, still waiting in queues that have not meaningfully shortened, still living under policies that describe their distress as a reason for more caution rather than more care. The political climate did not give them an inch this month that they did not fight…

It was an honour and a privilege to be welcomed to Crossroads Women's Centre in Kentish Town and meet with women who have been fighting for change for so many years. The work women do is too often ignored and devalued - I gave my promise that as MP here I'll stand with them.

Did you know that a Farage Reform govt intends to scrap the NHS? The private health care system he wants to introduce would cost you £10,000s, like the US, where getting ill can bankrupt you. #ReformUK #Labour #GreenParty #Newcastle #SAFC� #NUFC

I was going to write a long poem about the revolting racism and aggression in England - but it turned out to be very short “Let the children drown Can’t you see they’re brown” Remember how many times Farage was on QT - remember ITV putting him I’m a Celebrity - every little helps the brutality

The state we are in. 7.28m hospital appointments awaited. 4m waiting for a social home. Universities in financial crisis. Rivers polluted with sewage. Half of schools unfit for use. Manufacturing declined from 30.1% of economic output in 1970 to 8.5% by 2026. Must abandon neoliberalism.

I still have days where I feel I failed. Trying very hard to remind myself that that's not true. Every single other system failed *me*. I only have so much bravery to deploy; I was in deficit, nearly every single day. And it shouldn't be necessary to be brave just to be oneself.

Gender-affirming care for minors is not a bad thing. It’s been so needlessly demonized and the position has been so thoroughly capitulated to that I think people forget it’s actually a good thing. A Grammy award winning artist had gender affirming surgery at 16. It’s a great thing!

The two party state is dead and neo liberal economics are decimating the Western economies. The sooner the Labour party REALLY acknowledged this and start a proper reform of tax to reditribute wealth and electoral reform to proper PR, the more they increase their chance to survive.

For the first time in 80 years, the federal debt-to-GDP ratio is over 100%. In the past, the rich used to pay higher taxes. Now, the government pays the rich interest on a swelling debt, caused largely by lower taxes on the rich. It's a big switcheroo.
