Reporters Without Borders "deeply concerned to hear of the arrest of journalists covering a protest in Leicester, particularly given they had identified themselves as such to police. “No journalist should have to weigh the risk of arrest against their duty to inform the public."

Heather Paterson@heatherpaterson.co.uk · last wk.EVERY UK MP needs to read this You are all part of a government that is creating a situation so hostile and unsafe that people are leaving the country This is not an isolated case. You have the power to do something about this.
Anyone still backing Labour is backing a right wing party that is attacking multiple minorities. The only change with Burnham is the PR. Still the same evil.

#thearchers I'm sorry but number 1. as a counsellor (for adults), only the actual client books their own session, 2. you wouldn't just randomly see other family members who turn up instead of the booked client. Ridiculous!
So depressing to hear about the #pollution and #sewage in our rivers today, not that I didn't know

I think Count Binface should include this post from 2023 in his current manifesto 😁
Count Binface@countbinface.bsky.social · 3y agoUnder a Binface government, anyone who doesn’t accept human-made climate change as fact will be sent back to school, from Year 1 right the way to A Levels, to see if anything goes in the second time round. #VoteBinface
For the record. 150,000 people attended Trans Pride London 2026. We were protesting against - The Supreme Court Misjudgement & EHRC transphobic “guidance” - The harmful puberty-blocker ban - The child abuse that is Labour’s schools “guidance - Ongoing mainstream media disinformation & exclusion
do you know who’s not in that poem that you hold so dear? who were one of the very first targets? who the Guardian have helped set the environment and agenda against, and whose rights have been rolled back as a result? have some self-awareness, i’m begging you.
Londoners, there is a webpage for you to see where your nearest "cool spaces" are when the extreme heat hits - places with water, air-conditioning & shade. Have a look and spread the word, especially to those who may need this but might not think to look for it: apps.london.gov.uk/cool-spaces/
Less well known is that by all accounts, William was a pretty great dad, who encouraged his two daughters, Jenny and May, to grow into incredibly talented designers themselves.

May and William Morris’s fascinating and complicated relationship deserves to be studied in its own right.

Accurate. If Burnham continues Labour's attacks on trans people and on immigrants, he'll be directly handing the country to Reform, Restore, and American billionaires.
Kathy O'Donnell@kathyodonnell.bsky.social · 4mo agoThe true acid test of whether Burnham means what he says about turning away from the dark, divisive politics of the US is trans rights, the huge assault on which came from the US and is bankrolled with US dark money.
We want the media and politicians to recognise that there is a large number of women who are supportive of the trans+ community. Will you join over 106,000 women and add your name to the list? https://notinourname.org.uk/petition/not-in-our-name-women-in-support-of-the-trans-community/
This isn't encouraging me that there's a party that can be relied upon to support trans rights apart from Plaid and I don't live in Wales!
It is also worth reading this joint statement from @mind.org.uk, @mencap.org.uk and @autisticsociety.bsky.social on the harm this ruling will cause through, as they so accurately put it, "The biggest rollback of disability rights in a generation". 8/ www.mencap.org.uk/press-releas...

I regret that leaving Monkey Cage was necessary, but I will never regret leaving people who considered siding with hatred was more important than siding with our many non binary and trans listeners - each day I see the further empowerment of hate , the more I realise there was no other option
As NION Women, we care about being a society that leaves no one behind, where everyone can feel safe and fully participate. That includes trans+ people, who have been increasingly blamed for problems they didn't cause - and who have faced growing hostility for the best part of a decade.
I've donated to fight the appalling updated EHRC code of practice today which marginalises the trans community and effectively implements segregation and outing of trans people. I hope you will too if you care about the UK's slide into fascism goodlawproject.org/s/5fa0c2

Good today to see the high court strike down the half million pound fine and judgement against the University of Sussex for not banning protests against anti-trans Professor Stock. The judge was scathing about the original judgement,if Phillipson moves forward with these new laws it will a travesty
I'm horrified that my youngest who is 18 is not planning to vote on May 7th, the first election he's been eligible to vote in. For his older siblings this was a welcomed right of passage. Any suggestions for good videos about the importance of exercising one's democratic right? #UKPolitics
