The Green party has been unapologetically supportive of trans people and they took a seat from Labour after they gave cracked down on trans people. Liberal parties cannot abandon trans people without losing their base.

Emily Thornberry’s words on Radio 4 in response to the Green win in Gorton and Denton. This is why wins like this are so important, whatever you may think of the Greens (much like the immigration rebellion brewing).

"I dread even saying this... but I think that we've ended up in the wrong place on trans, and we've done that by treading very self-consciously and not actually following our hearts, which is that trans people are on the margins, they are vulnerable.
"If the Labour Party doesn't look after trans people, what are we about?
"They're most likely to get beaten up. They're the ones who are most likely to have prejudice against them. We should not be indulging in anything that marginalises them even more."

Allow the British public to believe for even one second that they don't need to vote for "the lesser evil" and Labour will evaporate like a thin trickle of piss on a hot rock

🏺 Excellent that we may be on the way to banning the sale of human remaining the UK. Congratulations to the British Association of Biological Anthropologists Task Force for getting it this far. It’s been a grey area because there’s no legal ownership for human remains.

I'm in Parliament today, presenting a ten-minute rule bill to ban the sale of human remains. Human body parts are not curiosities to trade and decorate with. We should ban this macabre trade for good.
