Cis people do not understand how much trans people's rights have regressed in just 5 years. 5 years ago, there were none of these restrictions. 19 states banned legal recognition 21 states have bathroom bans 8 states ban gender marker changes on DLs 25 ban gender affirming care for trans youth

This. I don't really know anything about Macklemore's music, so this isn't a fangirl post. He clearly possesses a spine though, which Sheeran seems to lack.

The RNLI have some of the best people in Britain volunteering for them. They put their lives on the line when they are called on and they will rescue anyone who needs them. Because every life matters, and offering help is the right thing to do. You can donate here: rnli.org

Absolutely sickening. A baying mob attack a young woman, while Farage smiles from the safety of the podium and encourages them. The "protect are women and girls" lot in action. I hope everyone involved feels the full force of the law, *especially* Farage.

Bailing out the banks doubled Britain’s national debt overnight. Tories saw in this disaster a chance to implement their most cherished ideological fantasy. Blame Labour then sweep to electoral victory in 2010 - then they slashed the state to the bone and blame all the subsequent pain on Labour.

A reminder that, in June, Reform reinstated Sunderland councillor Glenn Gibbins, a man who suggested Nigerians should be melted down and used to fill potholes. Nigel Farage did not report this to the police, did not demand he face legal consequences, and still welcomes him in his party.

I share the worry of trans people at the prospect of PM Wes Streeting. At Health he ignored the voices of young trans people and restricted gender-affirming care, causing harm to a generation. It is up to Labour to choose its leader, but members must also choose a better direction on trans rights

Wes Streeting supports the Cass Report and Palantir's UK govt contracts. Either he lacks the critical thinking skills to evaluate the evidence/arguments against them, or he ignores these things for ideological or other reasons. Either one makes him unfit to be PM in my view. (Not going to debate it)

It was wrong when the media did this to Ed Miliband when he was leader and it is wrong to do this to Polanski. Genuinely have no idea how awfulness like this gets past editors… It’s really not that hard to criticise policies or politicians without being antisemitic.

Dear Labour supporters. If you want to put me off voting Green rather than Labour, the key is *not* to attack the Greens, but to ask yourself why I, a life-long Labour supporter, who has voted Labour at every GE since 1983 (my first), can't support Labour. Look at yourselves. Look at your party.
