The eurosceptic right no longer wants to destroy the EU, but run it. This was inevitable and in many respects an own goal by the Tories. Britain would be incredibly powerful in the bloc right now.

Thom Yorke’s statement about Israel and Gaza is exactly the right kind of statement. As someone with close family in the region I have grown tired of the endless performative “why haven’t you said X” that is demanded of artists when we don’t demand anywhere near the same of US artists in relation..

He looks like a cormorant about to be cleaned by RSPB volunteers.

Another one. They’re really stacking up

🏳️‍⚧️ During an unsuccessful High Court challenge by ‘gender critical’ campaigners, it has been revealed that the government is undertaking a review into whether prescribing cross-sex hormones to under-18s should be restricted 🧵👇

The British Medical Association have come out in support of trans and non-binary people 👏🏻🏳️‍⚧️💕 They also criticise the unworkable and damaging Supreme Court Ruling, that ends up diverting resources from an already underfunded NHS! @bma.org.uk 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 Full statement 👉🏻 www.bma.org.uk/news-and-opi...

Sitting here trying to write a review of Judith Butler’s 2nd chapter of Gender Trouble and for what it’s worth I think it’s a really important work, but Christ alive it’s so inaccessible.

Let women speak! Mainstream UK Women can stand up and speak for themselves: and they are doing so in thoudands in suport of their trans brothers and sisters. www.thepinknews.com/2025/05/29/c...

I’m sure that Wizard woman and Sex Matters will be along shortly to do a virulent campaign to ensure Farage never gets the chance to limit women’s bodily autonomy… right? RIGHT?! Oh no they won’t, because they’re not interested in protecting women’s rights. www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/poli...

The DHSC under Wes Streeting is a disgrace. He’s running that department like his own personal fiefdom instead of recognising he works for us - which includes the right of the public to have information about things like this. Disgraceful actions.

If this was a trans person, imagine the press coverage. But if it’s a middle class company director, he’s had some sort of breakdown. And here we have a good example of how men who do dangerous and violent things often get excused for it while anyone else would be demonised.

normal stuff

I've been saying we need something like this for ages. 'Gender critical' transphobes hijacked the name of feminism and twisted it to their bigoted ends. Trans people are fighting back, but ultimately only cis women can reclaim the mantle of feminism. Sign this to make it happen.

This is amazing! I have seen lots of boilerplate (meaning they’ve been written by a Starmer/McSweeny wonk) letters from MPs positioning trans women and cis women against each other. This campaign shows that cis women are not, in fact opposed to trans people’s human rights. Please sign and share.

This is one of the “experts” ‘gender critical’ transphobes are presenting to Wes Streeting, with the lobbying aim to withdraw HRT for trans youth under 18! 😣

“Why Wes Streeting changed his mind on cross-sex hormones”… That’d be because obsessive, privileged, ‘gender critical’ transphobes - like activist-journalist Hannah Barnes and her ilk - have been relentlessly lobbying him for YEARS to hurt trans kids! 😖 Article 👉🏻 archive.ph/2025.05.27-0...

Just posted this on Facebook and it instantly got removed as it was flagged for nudity. youtu.be/q2MoQJP-PhA?...

"Was it this ruling that emboldened him to question my appearance?" Voice-over: it was the recent Supreme Court ruling that emboldened him to verbally assault someone he thought was in the wrong toilet queue

Neither of these "experts" is neutral, one of them is notorious for links to what patients have called abusive conversion therapy. Wes Streeting prefers cranks to science.

Cannot wait for a billionaire feminist to throw loads of funding at the effort to decriminalise abortion! Any minute now, surely? 🕰️
