If like me you are happy to see Zohran win in New York and you want to see that sort of thing in the UK, it's worth knowing that his campaign knocked 95k doors in a week. That takes lots of people like us volunteering. So get involved. This is a great place to start:

This is what I’ve been saying. Close tax loopholes. Also look into stopping tax evasion (especially from big businesses) before prying into the bank accounts of people on benefits looking for alleged fraud, incidentally, for the same monetary differential reason.

I love @philippaeast.bsky.social because not only does she do amazing work with writing letters on trans issues, but she always uses alt text as well and I think I want to be her when I grow up.

I’m sure they’d do this to an anti-trans (claiming to be “women’s rights*”) lobby too…oh wait, no I’m not. *women’s rights, as I pointed out in my last email to my transphobic MP, coincide with trans rights rather than opposing them

Good for the Co-Op. Israel are committing war crimes, according to the ICC. If that isn’t a reason to avoid sourcing their products when you’re not sourcing from (I think) 16 other countries, then what is?

Does anyone have an up to date list of every Labour MP who has signed the amendment against the UC and PIP bill?

Amazed ME isn’t on there, but can only assume the majority of us aren’t being given it in the first place. Ditto hEDS. Some of the other things that are, though…

I guarantee that despite this having been shown in any studies done with it to have worked, Labour will never ever talk about it because their big donors would object.

If Parliament changed a rule they didn't have to change to specifically ban you the day before you were due to turn up to Parliament, you'd think it was targeted, too.

Is there anything positive this guy doesn’t stand up for? Trans healthcare, mask bans, support Gaza, rent freezes, pro-environment, higher taxes, free childcare…

This is preposterous. You could have two trans women in a meeting, but if one was visiting a member of staff, they would have to go to different toilets - one to the ladies and one to the men’s?!? They’re both women, it’s in the name. They should be going to the ladies loos.
