It’s not just an attack on trans people. It’s an attack on anyone who doesn’t fit within a narrowly defined vision of what gender looks like.

This really shouldn’t be a difficult thing for politicians to condemn. Instead we get the same tired, lazy and dangerous BS about ‘activist lawyers’, which puts people’s safety at risk and now stops charities from even operating.

"Reform would be worse" is both entirely correct and entirely irrelevant until polling day 2029. What matters right now is that Labour's approach is morally repugnant on its own terms, *and is empowering Reform*. As things stand today, its not Labour or Reform. Its Labour *then* Reform.

The Greens don’t believe providing safe refuge for endangered asylum seekers is an “out-of-control” policy. Nor do we believe making life more difficult for those in need is the way to unify British society. Refugees are welcome.

Bet you they don't. Labour can't go far enough to appease those opposed to immigration and asylum, and they're losing support from centre and left voters by trying. If anything, Labour is actively creating more division by pushing this.

Vote for/support us and our policies because we are the lesser of two evils is a terrible basis for any party, and is a sign of the absence of any moral centre or political conviction.

It is likely that I will have to leave academia soon. It makes me mad/sad, because in what other job could I read the inspiring work of a student, collect autumn leaves for a research/outreach project, and write words for a book on migration communities and care, all in the space of one day?

Just for perspective, a few weeks ago roughly 100,000 turned up for the London Trans+ Pride march. By contrast fewer than 3,000 ACROSS THE WHOLE COUNTRY, have turned up to anti-asylum "protests". Yet we are meant to take the latter as "the voice of the people" and the former as "the minority".

All famines are man-made, all famines are political. Historians of empire and humanitarianism have known this forever. Gaza is not starving, Gaza is being starved, by Israel, and this starvation is enabled by our government and by every other government that does not step in to force food and aid.
