A couple of things come to mind here. Firstly Reindorf clearly has no idea how the transition process actually works. You have to live fully in your new gender before you can qualify for a GRC, and that includes using the correct toilet. www.theguardian.com/society/2025...

We've said it before. We'll say it again. Decriminalise abortion. Police checking period-tracking apps is Black Mirror-esque. Rather than compounding tragedy with fear, surveillance, and prosecution, the law should treat abortion for what it is: a healthcare matter. observer.co.uk/news/nationa...

Politicians are betraying "white working class children" says the newspaper that a week ago argued Starmer shouldn't scrap the two child benefit cap so they could eat.

Since 2020 the UK's 20 biggest energy companies made operating profit of £514,038,259,000. Profiteering pushes millions into poverty. Hikes govt's energy bill, pushes up taxes. It makes steel, shipbuilding, engineering and other energy intensive industries difficult. OFGEM doesn't protect people

If we take the words of the ex-Prime Minister of the UK seriously, she shares the same antisemitic dogma as Anders Breivik and Adolf Hitler

The problem with this argument is that 100,000s of children become political collateral damage and condemned to the horrendous disadvantages of poverty.

Your words may be kind but your actions betray you, Labour. Streeting's war on trans youth, Starmer's cruelty to trans adults, and your u-turning on your manifesto promise to "remove indignities for trans people who deserve recognition and acceptance" is shameful.

The two main things in my life are Autism and Nature. That's why I have given up on Labour completely, with their assaults on both. The Greens are the only ones standing fully against the attitudes on these issues from Reform, Tories and Labour. Thank you @greenparty.org.uk 🙏💚

As we are being asked about this 👇🏻, yes, we were already aware of it, we had already approached lawyers, and are expecting to support legal proceedings against GLL which has acted foolishly, precipitously and, we believe, unlawfully.

Men are extremely keen to explain to me that Britain needs a domestic steel production plant and doesn't necessarily need universities. Okay. Steel contributed about £1.7bn to the UK economy in 2024. Universities contributed more than £200bn.

By betraying his voters so comprehensively and so soon, Keir Starmer has done us a favour. He has given us 4 years to design the government we want. In this week's column I explain how it can be done. There's massive potential, but we need to start now. 🧵 www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Excoriating. And absolutely 100% right. “Labour’s oh-so-clever strategists are moronically giftwrapping the country for Nigel Farage.”🔥 But we have time to create the alternative now by acting strategically in our constituencies to back the alternatives we have.

Can the @scottishgreens.org counter Reform? A generic anti-Farage message would see us squeezed by the SNP next May. We need to do more than that. We're the only party willing to tell an angry public who is really making their lives worse. Fixing a rigged system must be our offer to voters.

More than 800 lawyers, academics and retired senior judges have written to the prime minister urging him to impose sanctions on the Israeli government. We need to see definitive action from Keir Starmer to meet fundamental legal obligations to prevent and punish genocide in Gaza.

I refuse to go back and deliberately watch a fucking advert for fucking AI slop in order to check, but I’m pretty sure it also absolutely no flour, oats, or other, you know, ingredients that make cookies work. Which is indicative of the level of audience contempt we’re looking at here.
