We’re asking our supporters across the UK to write to the Chief Commissioner of NHS Wales ahead of Tuesday, to demand that surgery is reinstated immediately while the investigation goes ahead, and to issue a formal apology for making such an irresponsible decision.

Thanks to Farage and his lot, we are a racist country fast becoming a fascist country. Speak up, or watch history repeat itself.
The clock is ticking. We have to act now. Vote Green on October 8th. 💚
I don't need £5 million gifts. But if you enjoy what I do, you can bung me a trio of affordable croissants (£3) or a Ferrari at ko-fi.com/countbinface. I'll do a separate crowdfunder for political campaigns, but l've reopened this just for little old me. Much luv, CB x
NEW: Llais, the health watchdog for Wales, is investigating the decision by NHS Wales’ Joint Commissioning Committee to indefinitely pause access to gender-affirming surgeries. If you have been affected - they have asked you to share this with them: www.llaiswales.org/news-and-rep...

Meanwhile, the UK, which was once a bastion of LGBTQ+ rights in Europe, is plunging down the rankings. We can wave to Hungary on our way past to join Russia and Turkey. 👋

“There’s too much media attention on a perceived threat that doesn’t exist. I want to push back against that, to generate a counter balance to the idea that cis women live in fear of trans people.”
It's a day ending in a 'y' and we're back to gender cranks rewriting history again. I came out first in 1989, I've been using appropriate spaces since the 1990s, I had friends who transitioned in the 1970s, April Ashley transitioned in the 50s, there is a very long list
The NHS Wales JCC subcommittee on Quality, Safety and Outcomes have now released their “Incidents and Concerns” report that was considered at the August 26 meeting, following which all Wales gender reforming surgeries were immediately halted. jcc.nhs.wales/committees/q... 1/

Excellent letter in The Times. "Greater hate hath no person than to accuse those who put their lives on the line for others of being traitors."

Reform is the party of the mega-rich. £72 million from just two men, both of whom live abroad, tells you who will benefit from a Reform “government”, and it won’t be you.

A reminder that Delo previously pled guilty in the US to violating money laundering protections and agreed to pay a $10 million fine for "willfully” breaking the law with his BitMex platform, which was described as "in effect a money laundering platform.” This is who owns Farage now
The RNLI volunteer has told us that donations usually run at £20,000 per day. Currently running at £100,000 per day! Bloody brilliant!
It's nonsense to suggest that people who support Brexit and Reform are motivated by racism. And if you don't believe me, check out this perfectly reasonable tweet by prominent Reform member and former mayoral candidate, Arron Banks.
If you feel like donating to the RNLI, here’s a link. I just have. Their minimum donation is £2: I think it might be nice for them to receive a lot of donations this week, even if they’re mostly very modest. Just so they know a lot of people out here appreciate their work. rnli.org/support-us/g...

Your donations really make a difference. We depend on your generosity to educate people to stay safe and prevent tragedies on and offshore. Donate here.

A damning indictment of where hate leads. RNLI has to warn its volunteers - people who save lives - not to wear branded clothes for fear of being attacked. Absolutely shameful.

Thank you to everyone who took part in the lobby yesterday ❤️ Hundreds of participants, loads of MPs and staff, dozens of volunteers, so many meaningful conversations - and endless love and solidarity. If you can support our work, it makes a real difference: www.transsolidarityalliance.com/donate
In Parliament today, supporting Trans+ Solidarity Alliance's Mass Lobby So many people chatting to their MPs!
You might have to turn up for the results of this one, Nige.
Irrelevant band that were irritating and whiny 40 years ago say what now?
And remember: Labour were prepared to overrule the Supreme Court over car finance only some three months later. So they can do it if they want to, but they choose not to.
Important to remember today: If ANY Labour MP talks about “respecting” the Supreme Court misjudgement, they are *lying* to you. Parliament can overturn ANY SC decision & the government can amend the Equality Act to include trans people. The SC misjudgement still stands because Labour WANTS it to.
Today’s the day: Are you feeling mass lobby ready? Tag us in your best #transontrains pictures and we’ll see you soon!
1/🧵 Today, the ICO sent me the decision notice upholding the EHRC’s secrecy regarding its handling of the withdrawn interim guidance. The ICO did not give a proper reason. If you are going to the Mass Lobby at Parliament today, be sure to raise this with your MP. archive.org/details/IC-4...
