Not gonna lie, it's really good to see Obama saying not to capitulate and to lose your federal funds instead of doing fascism willingly. Too many organizations have been throwing LGBTQ+ people under the bus to save their funding from Trump. They still lose their funding, I might add.

The truth is, there is only one language that Labour speaks and that is the language of political pain. For so long as Keir Starmer thinks we'll all go crawling back to Labour at the next Election he will continue to court the Reform vote. We need to tell him we won't.

Tomorrow, my bill repealing the ban on same sex marriage will be heard in House Judiciary at 8am. The ban on same sex marriage has remained in our state constitution since the early 2000s, despite being deemed unconstitutional for the last decade. It's time to remove it.

I remain gravely concerned by today’s welfare announcement, to put it mildly. Cutting social security for disabled people will only deepen poverty and inequality. This wasn’t in our manifesto and it isn’t what people voted for when they elected a Labour government.

A reminder that Labour's Manifesto made two promises to tax the super rich and in Government it broke them both. Indeed, it actually cut taxes for some in private equity. www.theguardian.com/society/2025...

Adolescence on Netflix is a remarkable piece of work. It illuminates a rising misogynistic extremism being spread through irresponsible social platforms. It’s important. It’s necessary and you should watch it. I do wish one element were different though…
