🧵Believe your eyes, folks. This is Labour MP Jonathan Hinder blaming “IMMIGRATION” for his Party’s woes at the ballot box. (The John he refers to is John McDonnell MP who blames unpopular Labour polices like cutting winter fuel allowance for Lab’s poor showing)

An absolute masterclass in how the UK media platforms and normalises far right politics. This is how Farage wins.

Tory leader wants women to have more children. Women aren't baby-making machines. Improve social conditions, leave choices to women. Tories imposed two-child benefit cap, austerity, real wage cuts; opposing maternity leave/pay; ruined the NHS, housing. Gender pay gap, sexual violence persists.

After the local elections this is the current state of play of Councillors in the UK. Don't be fooled by our Farage supporting right wing media. Reform are 1 in the pie chart.

There’s something really disturbing to me about the way the media, and indeed her own mother, continue to talk about Brianna Ghey - a constant focus on publicising her mental health, as if she’d committed suicide, and never focusing on the transphobia that actually led to her horrific murder.

Just flat out lying from Treasury. Water utilities are highly profitable once you strip out debt repayments. And the statutory mechanism for rescuing broken water companies enables DEFRA to strip out debt repayments. 1/2 www.theguardian.com/business/202...

I fight for a world where the first thought average people have about someone transitioning is "wow science is cool" and not "let me share with you my opinions about toilets"

I still find it very upsetting how much trans people; researchers of the far right like myself, etc. were saying this before the general election. When we did, we were told we wanted the Tories to win. The Tories are still in power, even if they call themselves Labour.

This is a reminder to myself: try and post (mostly) things that spread joy or hope or wonder, or things that are useful. I know about the bad stuff, believe me. But on here this is what I'm going to try to highlight, for my own sake.

Climate change poses a threat to us all - and the evidence clearly shows the need for action. Yet today's Telegraph continues the effort to make this all about one man - & frame urgently-needed climate action as dangerous & extreme... With advertising from Coop, BMW, Trailfinders, Lotto & B&Q

Encourage as many venues as possible to make toilet facilities gender neutral and welcome to ALL. Support those that do, and boycott businesses who want to segregate any marginalised communities like they did in the 1950s. #StopFundingHate

On Friday evening, we were made aware of an amendment put forward by three Tory MPS to the Data (Use and Access) Bill, that will be voted on on the 7th of May. This amendment, if ratified, would severely infringe on the human rights of trans people in the UK.

It would take a heart of stone not to giggle slightly at people who no doubt campaigned against a feather-bedded elite, now suddenly realising that said feather-bedded elite in Warwickshire gets an annual allowance of…£10,075.
