Fiona Bruce, "We have a lot of Reform voters in the audience, I want to hear from some of them at least" If the #BBCQT audience is based on voter share at the election, how can there be so many Reform voters in the audience if Reform only got 14% of the vote share in the 2024 general election?

The Spending Review keeps getting better. This time, a funded support package to ensure the poorest children do not go hungry during the school holidays. The £1bn of funding for crisis support through local councils across the whole country includes holiday food funding for children.

We need price regulation of veterinary practices as, corporate veterinary practices now make up > 70% of the out of hours market and are engaging in horrific levels of price gouging. chng.it/79nGc7kL9C

What N. Ireland is experiencing right now is a form of state media censorhip to cover up the overwhelming level of paramilitary involvement in the far-right, white supremacist riots that have swept the North. While cameras and narratives focus on the 'youths' - the men in the shadows .. [1/n]

Urgent! The choice is clear now - if you think abortion is a human right tell your MP NC1 sends the opposite message and ask them to sign NC20. Let your MP know you know the difference and make sure others do too by sharing this with them.

It’s time for decriminalisation. 👇 Ask your MP to back @stellacreasy.bsky.social 's amendment to the Policing Bill. goodlaw.social/f2eef3

Lots of tax rules have unfair consequences for particular individuals. The answer is to campaign to change the law. It would be quite wrong if courts could override Parliament. The law has always reflected that. So it’s no surprise the private school VAT challenge has failed.

If you wanted to mount a challenge to the Police, Crime, Sentencing and Courts Act, @PropVoting recounts would not help the legal case. But surely it would be encouraging to know the MPs opposing it represented more people? 👇 @chrisgpackham.bsky.social

Very happy to see the founder of Pregnant then Screwed coming out in support of the only amendment that actually decriminalises abortion. This chance may not come again so, please, use our tool and ask your MP to vote for NC20. It takes seconds action.goodlawproject.org/decriminalis....

BIG NEWS FOR ANNOYING PEOPLE!!!!!

We can expect an additional 100,000 EV charge points in the coming years thanks to new deals and contracts based on existing funding, the Labour government has said. It will be on top of the existing 80k EV charge points and will make it easier for people without driveways to charge their cars.

This is a really good example of investing in public services to save money in the long run, while also helping people! £9m is to be invested in the NHS to make sickle cell treatment quicker & more accessible through using more Spectra Optia machines, which perform automated cell exchanges. 1/2

This may have been overlooked in the Spending Review coverage in favour of the bigger departments, but the Crown Prosecution Service is to receive over a 10% increase in funding. It may only be £96m, but it will help ensure it can meet increasing demand while also modernising how it works.

Israel now *needs* Iran to respond. Israel can then focus on itself being attacked & demand that Western “allies” rally round it. Iran’s best move is not to respond now- and rather let global criticism of Israel over Gaza, West Bank and their strike on Iran to build to breaking point.

Governor JB Pritzker said to Rep. Mary Miller: "I am not going to be lectured to by somebody who extols the virtue of Hitler." Finally, someone says it to their faces.

There are some days when the news can be overwhelming and leave you feeling sad and afraid. Today is one of them. Try to remember that the good in the world has always outnumbered the bad, stroke a cat and enjoy the sunshine x (Pic @imageplotter.bsky.social)

Trans woman: I am facing discrimination in a multitude of ways. Cis journalist: Ah, how to best visually represent the idea of a trans woman? Oh, brilliant: Pink lipstick. Someone whose mind melted in the pandemic: Gender Ideology believes that WOMAN IS WHEN LIPSTICK

P&O has a turnover of almost £1bn. So why have they just hired an audit firm with four employees? It’s deeply, impossibly, weird. I spoke to an auditor at a firm with 200 employees who said he’d never dream of acting for a company of that size. So what’s going on? www.itv.com/news/2025-06...

Protest in reading tommorow

Yael van der Wouden, who won last night’s @womensprize.bsky.social for Fiction, said she was intersex in her speech and had only got the right treatment because of “every trans person who’s fought for healthcare.” Say it again: Transphobia. Hurts. Everyone.

Judgement Day for the EHRC: How the equality watchdog turned into a toxic culture war campaign group iandunt.substack.com/p/judgement-...

Hey everyone, Trans Actual are collecting responses to the EHRC consultation because it sounds likely they're going to try and obscure them If you saved them (a good idea if you haven't filled it in yet!) please can you email the address below with them! I personally trust Trans Actual and Helen

This is your ongoing reminder that anti-migrant (“illegals”) and anti-trans politics (“gender ideology”) are current anchors of several authoritarian governments. People who tolerate, even selectively, such politics are facilitating the rise of fascism. This is why solidarity is key to oppose this.
