For all that it's been barely reported in the UK press, it's still hard to understate the importance of the stance @labourunionsuk.bsky.social has taken on trans and non-binary rights this week. Every single trade union affiliated to the party of government has stood up and said we will not comply.
Joint statement from National TULO

Solidarity with the trans and non-binary community

Labour's 11 affiliated trade unions stand in total solidarity with the trans and non-binary community.

Trans rights are human rights, and trans rights are workers' rights.

We in the trade union movement will do all we can to stand up for our trans members and all our trans siblings, to protect them from persecution, harassment and attack.

The government must act now to protect all trans people, to make sure their rights are protected, expanded and upheld in our workplaces and communities.

Labour Unions

Not quite the same, but the place that did my piercings also does tattoos, and their staff is absolutely lovely. The shop is located on the lower end of the Royal Mile. www.tribalbodyart.co.uk Would heartily recommend them. I still have a holo sticker on my wallet from when I got my piercings done.

This week we learned that the Irish government has proposed weakening Europeans citizens' fundamental right to privacy to favour AI companies. We also learned this week that 83% of Irish people under 25 want stronger government regulation of AI. Who *exactly* does our government work for?
AI: EU Member States plan "digital expropriation" of Europeans in the interest of Al companies
Artificial Intelligence / 21 September 2026
In a leaked document, the Irish Presidency proposes to EU Member States that the interest of OpenAl, Anthropic, Google, Meta and SpaceX to make profits should take precedence over the fundamental right to data protection. Use of personal data "in the context of Al" should automatically be lawful.
There seems to be wide informal agreement by many Member States. In particular, Big Tech would be able to use all personal data collected over the past decades with virtually no restrictions, as long as this happens "in the context" of Al. Schrems: "Under these proposals, the profits of Al companies would trump European's fundamental right to privacy. This is nothing but a digital expropriation of Europeans." All this is happening despite the key figures of Al corporations actively warn about the enormous risks associated with their own products.Transport costs and mental health also remain prominent concerns.
More than seven in ten adults believe Al will make it harder for young people to find secure employment over the next five years, while 83% support stronger government regulation of Al.
Just 17% of young adults said they believe the Government is doing enough to support them through the cost-of-living crisis.
"These findings should serve as a wake-up call," said Grace McManus, Policy and Campaigns Manager at NYCI.
"Too many young people feel that the chance to build a secure and independent life is slipping out of reach," Ms McManus said.
The polling was conducted by RED C, which surveyed a nationally representative sample of 1,010 adults, including a cohort aged 18-24.

The image is a five panel black and white comic. 

Panel 1- A person stands in the forefront saying, "I'm gonna do my best to keep moving forward and not let anything slow me down!" Behind them stands a non-descript figure wearing a sash that reads, "Depression". 

Panel 2- The person starts walking, with the depression person closely following behind. 

Panel 3- They pick up the pace, trying to outrun the depression figure. 

Panel 4- They glance back, now running fast, with the figure behind them still on their tail. 

Panel 5- They are now sprinting as fast as they can, a look of stress on their face. Behind them, the depression figure keeps up, now dropped into a naruto running stance.

Discord is going to reintroduce Global Age Verification, which restricts teen accounts.

- Blocked access to NSFW channels and servers
- Sensitive media automatically blurred in chats and direct messages
- Mandatory message requests for incoming texts
- Restricted speaking access in Stage Channels
To lift these restrictions, unverified adults can confirm their age via one of the following options:
- Credit Card checks via k-ID x Stripe
- Official ID through k-ID
- Selfie
- Google Wallet

The questions have extended to Reform’s polling operations. Just days before the Channel 4 revelations, Byline Times revealed that Reform and its Brexit Party predecessor had paid more than £645,000 for polling and canvassing to an anonymous sole trader operating as COR Research. The business had no Companies House entry, no named individual on its website and virtually no public footprint, while ten invoices connected to its work remained missing from the Electoral Commission’s published records. Reform itself paid COR Research £116,400 during the 2024 election campaign.
Other reporting raised questions about money moving through companies associated with Reform deputy leader Richard Tice.
