Labour's only hope is to push through proportional representation IMMEDIATELY, and to outlaw being a bald man with a dog as your profile picture.

Force the government to rip up the EHRC’s transphobic guidance
It’s been a year since the Supreme Court's decision that accelerated the rollback of trans rights in the UK. It’s been a difficult year, but it’s also been a year of coming together and fighting back....

😮 Awesome views from Day 2 of #Artemis II this morning. @exploration.esa.int @esaearth.esa.int
Spectacular high-resolution image of our home planet viewed through the Orion Crew Module window by the Artemis II astronauts as they continue their journey to the Moon on Flight Day 2, 3 April 2026 (pic: NASA) A full disc image of Earth, as seen from the Orion Crew Module. The planet is a pale blue, swirling with white clouds and glowing slightly lighter blue in place from reflected light. At lower left, a large brown landmass is Africa, with Spain and Portugal with twinkling lights where the planet curves. At top right, auroras glow in a thin green glow, just barely separated from the planet's surface. Earth is set against the black of space (pic: NASA/R.Wiseman)

A question you have to ask yourself if you’re going to approach politics as a responsible adult is whether your goal is to improve material conditions and achieve changes that reduce human suffering, or whether it is to look really cool in front of your friends online.These are not compatible aims.

this bill is legitimately a three-alarm fire. if they manage to define trans existence as explicit then there is nothing stopping them from genocide. i need every single cis person talking about this, calling their reps, getting out in the streets.

Hi everyone. As you know, I am our trans rights lead at Good Law Project. I have been working alongside a fantastic team on our challenge since May last year. But whilst what we have achieved is significant - there is still a lot further to go. If you can, please donate and help us keep fighting.

If you're not trans, I don't think I can fully explain how important this is. It's so powerful that one of the most circulated science media publications in the world has come out and said "trans children are real and providing transition care improves their lives." That's groundbreaking.

I wish this was an exaggeration, but it isn’t. They appear to have actively worked to block their purported allies being granted asylum, so they couldn’t be called to give evidence in Britain.

My talented wife @jeaniefinlay.com has turned my 'Adrian Chills' stories (short horror stories inspired by the Guardian columns of Adrian Chiles) into actual columns!
A mock-up of a Guardian column. The headline reads: Every autumn I am shunned by friends and neighbours. But I think I've finally broken the curse. The text reads: Year after year, I struggle to give away an enormous crop of scarred, worm-eaten apples. Each Autumn I rise, my scarred, worm-eaten hands digging up through the earth to reach the surface, my sightless, worm-eaten eyes facing the cold white moon above. On flesh-stripped, worm-eaten legs I tread the desire paths which wend their way through the trees, pausing with each broken step to bend and reach for the mangled fruits which pepper the orchard floor, the heavy hessian scrumper’s sack which hangs from my whip-wounded, worm-eaten shoulders becoming gradually filled to the point of bursting. 
When my sleepless bones can carry no more, I set out on the slow walk towards the village, to find the kin of those who made me pay for the theft of their crop, ready to give back what they so cruelly demanded. My scarred, worm-eaten hands knock on each door, and I await their answer. 
I bring their own rotten fruit, ready for them to taste.
A mock-up of a Guardian column: The headline reads: Scatter cushions and bedspreads - can someone explain to me what they're for? The text reads: Every night I hurl them off the bed. Every morning they are replaced. I don’t know how or by whom, but the cushions are there; varied in size and colour and pattern - some small, some large, some soft as marshmallow, some rigid as bedsprings - they crowd the pillow where I lay my head each night like a Greek chorus. And like a chorus, some nights before I throw them on the floor, I swear I can hear them whispering.
On the last night of my stay, I have disquieting dreams. My limbs whither to almost nothing, becoming little more than limp tassels attached to a bloating trunk. I feel my neck retract, pulling my rapidly diminishing head into the straight line of my shoulders, my bones disintegrating into mush. Soon I am looking out through sightless eyes from a body that is all torso, its skin now woven like fabric, muscle- and bloodless.
I strain every part of what remains of my body to edge myself along the wooden floor and up the bedpost to the bedspread. There I join the chorus and finally hear their whispered song, now clear to my earless ears as what it always had been -  a siren call.
A mock-up of a Guardian column. The headline reads 'Where have all the headphones gone on public transport? The noise is eating into my soul'. The text reads: The bus is stuck in traffic, has been for nearly ten minutes now. I’m at the front on the top deck, so I can see the problem up ahead - two vehicles have collided, strewing debris across both lanes. Two police cars frame the scene, their blue lights pulsing in the evening rain. All I want to do is get home. The headache which has been squatting in my skull this last while is filling more and more of my consciousness, blotting out every other thought, every other sensation.
Everything but the sound. 
Somewhere behind me, music is playing, the tinny tsch tsch tsch of a mobile phone speaker. The noise is eating into my soul. It’s like a skewer on which the pain is impaled and revolving, a parasite buried so deep it has become an integral part of the host.
I try to move my head to see what kind of person would subject others to this torment, but all I can glimpse is an outstretched bloody hand on the bus floor, the cracked phone beneath broken fingers. Above the noise, beyond it, I hear the sound of ambulances approaching. I try to turn again, to see the face of my torturer, but I can barely manage more than an inch. The shattered windscreen which cradles my bloodied head like a crown just won’t let me move any further.
