For anyone who considers themselves part of a minority community, for anyone who has any form of disadvantage, and for anyone who others don't consider "normal" Reform results are utterly terrifying. We are always better together. ❤️

The British Medical Association Resident Doctors are the backbone of the NHS, they look after us all in hospital. They passed this motion at their conference which pulls the “supreme” court judgement to pieces. They call it “scientifically illiterate” and “biologically nonsensical” 1/3

I always feel suicide is too easy a word for society to use in circumstances such as these. What we should say is: The harm done to Virginia by others caused her pain so intense that the only way she could find to end that pain was to take her own life.

Farage: "7.2 million foreign-born people have registered with GPs in the last 10 years... All I'm doing here is giving you cold hard facts". Well here's another cold hard fact - 40.6% of GPs in England and Wales are foreign born. The NHS would completely collapse without workers from abroad.

Today, thousands gathered across the country - from Hastings to London to Glasgow - to say: we will always stand with trans people. Trans rights are human rights. 🏳️‍⚧️

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.

Susman Godfrey, Chris Krebs, Miles Taylor, the president is openly targeting his political enemies with what his party once projected and called ‘lawfare’. It’s openly authoritarian. And we can’t say we weren’t warned. This is what fascism looks like.

Why would the penguins of the Heard and McDonald Islands ship goods to America? Because they can't fly.

So nighttime flight restrictions at Heathrow have been lifted overnight, which makes sense. But with easterly winds today it'll be the King in Windsor being kept awake. 😂

I have again updated my mega-post "What's wrong with the Cass Review?" New material from the last couple of months include formal guidelines for trans youth healthcare published by professionals in Poland, and in Germany, Austria, and Switzerland. Both note Cass' lack of expertise and experience.

Our new leader. The @economist.com has always been staunchly Transatlanticist. We don't say this lightly: "Europe must prepare to be abandoned or extorted. Not to prepare for that could leave Europe vulnerable to Russia and to an increasingly hostile America" www.economist.com/leaders/2025...

I got laid off today, with the rest of 18F. 18F was an elite federal software shop. We made gov't websites work better, more efficiently for the American people. We saved taxpayers from getting screwed over by contractors. And were fired for it. We made this website to tell our story: 18f.org

This is Winston Churchill visiting the White House during World War II. Funny how he isn’t wearing a suit either. Almost like he was a wartime leader defending his country from being slaughtered and wiped out by an authoritarian aggressor.

On 15 March 1939 Hitler and his deputy summoned the Czech President to Hitler’s residence in Berlin and then bullied him to submitting to a German invasion of his country. They drove him to the point of physical collapse, threatening him until he eventually signed his country’s death warrant.

I can't stand bullies. President Zelensky is now trying to stand up against two of them. We should have his back. #SlavaUkraïni

This is thuggery from Trump and Vance, plain and simple. They are bullying the brave true patriot Zelensky into accepting a deal which effectively hands victory to Russia. Unless the UK and Europe step up, we are facing a betrayal of Ukraine.
