The cruelty in today's politics feels horribly corrosive. Bringing up that hard-working immigrant families — undocumented, yes, but not violent criminals — are being ripped apart based on immigration status doesn't bring compassion or even pause, but gleeful cheers.

breaking police advice and idly speculating about Liverpool... unfortunately it seems all too familiar to me. Too many drivers think if they beep their horn they can carry on going forward, eg this lady who joined a marathon route www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-engl... 1/

One of things these local elections shows is having first past the post is a terrible system.Cons scrapped the use of AV for mayoral elections thinking it would help them, I wonder if labour will see that having the left vote split between green/lib Dems/labour is a case to bring it back #ukPolitics

I've written to British Transport Police asking for clarity on the specific changes they've made to their policy following the Supreme Court ruling. With EHRC guidance still pending, it's vital we understand how these decisions were made and what they mean in practice.

Keir Starmer used to be a human rights lawyer, for heaven's sake. He of all people should understand how cruel and inhumane his government's new fetish is. The fact that he and the #Labour Party are doing it anyway tells you all you need to know about his, and their courage. Monstrous cowardice. 🥀

I am increasingly disappointed that the concerns of the #LGBTQ+ community over what the Supreme Court judgement means for them are not yet being addressed. I have written to the Government asking them to make clear how trans and non binary rights will be protected.

Statement from us on today's ruling: "As LGBT+ Liberal Democrats... we don't think Britain is the sort of country where people should have to show their 'papers, please' in order to use the loo. ...we do not support efforts to legislate in ignorance to enforce conformity." 🔶🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️🧡

Spot on from Judith Butler. The threat to young people's wellbeing doesn't come from trans people - it comes from parents and politicians who won't accept LGBTQ children for who they are.

I'm way behind the curve here, but I'm slowly working through the #AssassinsCreed games. Was expecting a jolt going from Syndicate to the reboot of Origins, but actually having a blast! Loved going round London (as a Londoner) but great to have a whole new era to explore

Was thinking about ChatGPT images feel so worthless and something occurred to me. I am not a trained artist (not fishing here!), but I love making pictures of family—in part bc of the process, but also the reaction they engender. If I pressed a button they’d look better but…they’d have zero value.

unsurprising. Lawson's had a mare so far this season and not settled. And Yuki has been flying! Absolutely deserves a seat at the top table. Even more competition at the front now #F1
