Hey, UK Government, if you’re nationalising steel as an emergency measure, National Thames Water too please x

Labour's anti-trans agenda has gone even further than Conservatives. What Streeting is pushing is against majority of evidence, evidence which shows that his policies cause genuine harm to trans young people. This government's policies against trans young people will cost lives, that's the reality.

I think our Google Home Mini has been possessed 🤣🤣🤣

I’m seeing a lot of Golden Girls content on my Instagram reels and I’m not mad about it 💅

🚨 On April 16th, the Supreme Court will decide if trans women with Gender Recognition Certificates can be classed as women under the law. This ruling could reshape the Equality Act, limit rights, and set a dangerous precedent. We can’t let trans lives be debated out of existence 🏳️‍⚧️

He’s actually so unstable and unable to commit to a single policy. There’s no use in the US being an ally to us when they won’t even stick to their headline economic policy (however disastrous it would be!)

Enjoying watching Starmer be held to account properly by members of the Liaison Committee today. It’s an important part of our Westminster system that the Prime Minister can’t duck questions in this setting like they can in the Commons chamber.

Say what you want about the UK’s political system, but at least our courts are actually independent and blocked unconstitutional activity like the 2019 attempted prorogation. The US Supreme Court just rolling over and letting Trump’s administration do whatever they want is so baffling and cowardly.

It’s always “free speech for me but not for thee” for the “gender critical” brigade. Heaven forbid GC academics’ ideas/philosophy are subjected to the “debate” that trans and non binary are subjected to EVERY DAMN DAY about their existence. Solidarity with the trans community, always! 🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍🌈✊🏻

I’d scoff this but I’d die

Case in point: are we already in the early stages of WW3? Not impossible. Remembering that Russell T Davies predicted a Trump 2nd term US nuking China in Years & Years 😶

Oh, how totally not terrifying and topical this will be! 😱☢️💥💣

in this week's newsletter! an actually serious essay, in which I try to figure out why on earth so many of the mainstream political elites feel that the far right ought to be able to get away with everything: youngvulgarian.substack.com/p/why-the-el... [free to read!]

I’ve just seen #FourMothers at BFI Southbank and I’d highly recommend! Genuinely laugh out loud moments in a carefully crafted tale of a single gay writer and carer Edward deals with the ramifications of selfish friends abandoning their mothers in his care to go to Maspalomas pride. Fabulous! 🇮🇪👵🏻🏳️‍🌈

Jamie Greene says more Scottish Tories could quit, and hits out at former party for language about the LGBT community www.scotsman.com/news/politic...

Revolting language

Send help!! I can’t stop obsessing over the title number from Cabaret, this stunning performance in particular and, apropos of the themes of the show, the state of the the rise of fascist parties across the world today. 🎵 LIFE IS A CABARET!!! 🎵 youtu.be/6DVxxFRxT_8?...

There’s something joyously comic about Kemi Badenoch, a politician being radicalised on social media before our eyes, saying that Adolescence is not “the biggest thing that is happening in the world today” in terms of radicalisation on social media.

On Trans Day of Visibility and every other day, I stand with the trans community. No one has human rights unless we all have human rights! 🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍🌈 In these times, we need to come together and show solidarity ✊🏻 It’s only correct that we stand together on the right side of history!

Hate 👏🏻 speech 👏🏻 should 👏🏻 not be 👏🏻 treated 👏🏻 as 👏🏻 free 👏🏻 speech 👏🏻 in 👏🏻 any👏🏻 setting !👏🏻

Had a fabulous time at Cabaret at the Kit Kat Club! 🎭🇩🇪 Loved the pure panic from The Straights™️ in the audience who seemed shocked at how queer it was as a production & inside the venue. I went in relatively unprepared and it was EXCELLENT - truly stellar cast & production ❤️

#SpringStatement

Dear Chancellor, People who can and do work also need to be supported to work and to live, if they are disabled or chronically ill. Or you’ll find out pretty soon that it costs you and society more.

Increasingly baffled by the argument that the assisted dying bill hasn't recieved enough security. It's secured far, far more than normal legislation. And the fine balance in the Commons created by a free vote has meant advocates are fighting for every vote.

🤦🏼‍♂️🤦🏼‍♂️🤦🏼‍♂️🤦🏼‍♂️🤦🏼‍♂️

Today’s #EastEnders hits it out the park. AGAIN. Really sensitive portrayal of a highly emotive issue (police strip-searching children with little reason). All the actors involved deserve credit, but especially Aaliyah James 👏🏻

Being insufferably on brand today I fear! 😂✌🏻🏳️‍🌈

Good article in Byline Times about Wes Streeting's latest fuckup bylinetimes.com/2025/03/21/t...

This whole thread is iconic! #Jennie4PM

This is probably the most lively 30 seconds in the House of Lords in ages! The horrified expressions. The raining down of leaflets. The dramatic camera zoom towards the clock. Comedy gold! 😅

Leaders should try and motivate their parties ahead of an election campaign, no? I bet Conservative members are just depressed by this.

TransActual and FGEN statement on the Sullivan Review: We reject the conclusion of a report on data collection by academic Prof Alice Sullivan as biased, inadequate & potentially harmful to all citizens of the UK, whether trans or not. Full statement: transactual.org.uk/statement-on...

The “Sullivan Review” is named after Alice Sullivan, an obsessive ‘gender critical’ transphobe & leader of anti-trans lobby group “Sex Matters”. Another example of Labour continuing the “anti-woke” campaigning started by the Tories! 😖 @transactualuk.bsky.social 👉🏻 transactual.org.uk/blog/2025/03...

The latest series of #WaterlooRoad was really stellar. Such a fantastic set of storylines written and played to perfection, brilliant TV!

What does the Pathways to Work green paper actually mean, who might be affected, how much could they lose, what are the good and worrying bits of planned changes to support & assessments? A long 🧵 ...
