#Burnham There is this phenomenon amongst football fans that a player who has been out injured for a long time can suddenly get regarded as the best player since Pele, as they return to the match day squad, with reality kicking in minutes into their first game. Let's see how the vibes play out. 🫰

Rare good news. South Warwickshire will no longer be dragged down by the Reform morons elected in North Warwickshire. Maybe our libraries can remain inclusive after all. Sad for minorities in North Warwickshire though, where Reform may have more clout than today.

I won't shed a tear for Kier. He will say he was a pragmatist who wanted to do good,but if you are willing to sacrifice the children of Gaza and trans children in the UK because it would be politically inconvenient to support them, then what is this good you are supposedly doing?

I cannot over emphasise how important this action is. Most MPs don't know this is going on, and by the time the guidance is laid it will be too late. Make sure you email your MP now – and encourage others to do the same.

Jenni murray has passed away. At one time she was a feminist icon but she became increasingly reactionary to the point where she complained about the over representation of women in some areas Then there’s her transphobia and her championing of a man who… 1.

Sunderland resolute but probably lucky to have not conceded. The midfield is simply not firing tonight, and too many players are making the wrong decision. Hopefully Regis has some ideas. Personally think Talbi is better connected to the team than Angulo. #safc

Mandy, Andy, and Epstein.
A depth charge has exploded under the British elite this week, with evermore sickening details from the ‘Epstein files’ floating to the surface.

There's a lot of heinous shit in the Epstein files, and a lot of horrible people deserve a lot of consequences for their actions, but I need us to pause and acknowledge that this image is the funniest thing the government has ever released.
A photo of what is very obviously Donald Trump giving a speech behind the presidential lectern with the seal and everything, only there's a black box covering his face.

When did Labour become the new Tories? They really are such a let down. I thought we'd get a government centred on compassion and fairness, constrained by finances but they just seem so gratuitously right wing.

The decision to exclude vulnerable trans girls from the girl guides, brownies etc is an absolute disgrace making an already difficult journey even harder for no other reason than rancid bigotry. Another victory for hate #Translivesmatter

Please sign this petition. It doesn't matter that the government's initial response states lamely that the right to transition is already enshrined in UK law. If the petition reaches 100k and gets debated in parliament we can lobby MPs to ask questions as per the OP. MPs are beginning to wake up.

This is the sort of thing that a competent and compassionate government not hell bent on feeding trans people to the Reform caucus would have published soon after the ruling. Great work!

Reform is a protest party (that isn't entirely sure what its protesting against any more) that is run on the whims and hot air of a man who wanted to leave the EU to get cardboard passports back. We should not be in this situation, but we are, and Labour needs to confront not copy.

The British Medical Association Resident Doctors are the backbone of the NHS, they look after us all in hospital. They passed this motion at their conference which pulls the “supreme” court judgement to pieces. They call it “scientifically illiterate” and “biologically nonsensical” 1/3
EM4
This meeting condemns the Supreme Court ruling defining the term 'woman' with respect to the Equality Act as being based on 'biological sex', which they refer to as a person who 'was at birth of the female sex', as reductive, trans and intersex-exclusionary and biologically nonsensical.
We recognize as doctors that sex and gender are complex and multifaceted aspects of the human condition and attempting to impose a rigid binary has no basis in science or medicine while being actively harmful to transgender and gender diverse people. As such this meeting:
i. Reiterates the BMA's position on affirming the rights of transgender and non-binary individuals to live their lives with dignity, having their identity respected.
Reminds the Supreme Court of the existence of intersex people and reaffirms their right to exist in the gender identity that matches their sense of self, regardless of whether this matches any identity assigned to them at birth.
iii. Condemns scientifically illiterate rulings from the Supreme Court, made without consulting relevant experts and stakeholders, that will cause real-world harm to the trans, non-binary and intersex communities in this country.
iv.
Commits to strive for better access to necessary health services for trans, non-binary and gender-diverse people.

The EHRC interim guidance is an outrageous and unjustified extrapolation/ misinterpretation of the recent SC ruling. The government needs to step in, take accountability and use its authority to restore trans-people's rights.

OK, so today happened. Can we now focus on making the whole of the UK a safe and welcoming space for trans-people? I want everyone to feel comfortable leaving their homes, being seen in public and being able to go to the loo without a whole lot of angst and grief. Can we make that happen next?

A meme of the infamous meeting in the Oval Office with Zelensky as Trump and Vance dismissively put their hands up to him. But he has been replaced with a penguin to mock Trump’s tariff against uninhabited islands, home to only penguins.
