theguardian.com

The NHS in England today instructed all its staff to do harm to trans people as policy.

trans ppl: ... andy burnham and @lucympowell.bsky.social: here is a new way in which we are trying to get you killed i will survive this labour government and i will live long enough to see science finally win out and the ppl of this appalling, wretched, immoral, bigoted government held to account

this is your regular reminder that the labour party is mass murdering transgender ppl, systemically eradicating us, and this nhs 'guidance' is the latest part of that 'gender critical' is not feminism it is a neonazism movement that seeks to mass murder and erase transgender ppl from society

peter doesn't care about the morality he just cares about what percentage of the population this will appeal too funny how he doesn't view labour's transphobic policies in terms of public appeal labour are mass murdering transgender ppl. the cass review has killed over 600 ppl in less than 2 years

Are cis people paying attention to what Andy Burnham is doing to trans people or are you still too excited over his message of 'hope'? Like, today. Do you see what has happened *today*?

Telling who’s commented relentlessly on the Zionism is Racism motion and yet it’s crickets when it comes to yet another horrific transphobic policy from Labour

The U.K. Labour government is actively genociding trans people.

This will kill people

The NHS is already one of the biggest perpetrators of anti-trans violence in the UK. This new guidance, which refers to trans people using slurs, demands that we be segregated and abused. I’ve said it before: senior NHS managers must be sacked and punished for what they’ve done to us.

This will kill people

Just had a heads up a raft of civil service departments are sending out anti-trans directions, including the MoJ, HMRC, DfE. DSIT trying to force it through in NI from what I've seen despite the Equality Act not applying here.

been waiting for this fast train to Strasbourg. but yes this will kill people.

Andy Burnham remains my top enemy because of his U-turn on trans rights. There is no coming back from that. There is no wait and see, and there is no rehabilitation. It is a final, unforgivable line crossed.

friendly reminder that this government’s ‘independent’ terrorism advisor thinks trans women are russian propaganda ‘russian interference’ is just going to be used as an excuse to silence and delegitimise opinions that make the political establishment uncomfortable

Mark Chadbourn@chadbourn.bsky.social · 4w ago

Everybody knew Russia interfered in the Brexit referendum - the evidence was there - but people were too afraid of Farage’s mob to say it. So it’s good to see Burnham finally speaking the truth.

Just on my way out to do something culturally British* *whip up a moral panic about a minority group then hang some flags upside-down from a lamppost

nothing says “progressive” quite like a politician who sees woman only by their ability to bear children and polices access to public services based on whether or not you meet her western beauty standards

Phillipson says the difference between Labour & the Greens is Lab deliver. And you know what policy she cites? Scrapping the two child benefit cap. Something they suspended seven Lab MPs for voting for, refused to do for almost 2yrs & had to be dragged kicking & screaming to do

the last hope the green party has is that the cool membership still outnumbers the sensible membership seeing key figures like berry, lucas, and ramsay publicly try and drag the party back to inefficacy is giving big starmerification vibes and we can’t let it happen again

Honey, wake up! A new Cass Review just dropped 😒

Wyvernsrose #RaiseTheRate@wyvernsrose.bsky.social · 4w ago

it’s always “discriminatory policy is a resignation-worthy offence!” for the left and “we may not agree with restricting certain groups’ access to healthcare, education, employment, etc. but we need to stick with [starmer/burnham]!” for the right god the performative outrage is so fucking tiring

honestly if ZiR means adrian ramsay fucks off forever then that’s a huge W in my opinion GCs are the scourge of political movements

i can’t believe how dangerous, naive, and childish these labour figures are being these entryists are turning labour from a serious movement into a protest party we might not always agree on everything, but we need a strong left-wing coalition to beat reform labour must just want reform to win

The Guardian@theguardian.com · last mo.

Labour figures rule out working with Greens after ‘Zionism is racism’ vote

“sensible”, “common-sense”, and “grown-up” politics is just a way to feel smart about outsourcing your beliefs to the political and media establishment

I can't believe the party that enacted the first new anti-trans legislation since Thatcher and is still selling arms to the IDF is now stamping their feet and refusing to work with Greens, a party that, just to remind you, HASN'T said "please work with us, Labour".

I think women are really pretty

If the pro trans politicians in Labour would admit that Labour views and policies are the problem I would believe them more when they say they’re an ally. But they’re just blaming Reform saying they are dividing us while it’s currently Labour. Reform are bad but that does not mean Labour aren’t.

“independent journalists” writing the same copypasta article glazing the current government, while branding criticism of its cruelty against palestinians, trans people, migrants, disabled people as merely “spats” and “placard politics”

people are still trying to do the “burnham supports trans rights” bullshit from makerfield? using old quotes is pretty weak when: - his last quote was openly transphobic - the equality minister he appointed is publicly promoting bio-essentialism - he oversaw the guidance and section 28 passing

hello i am not a Labour party member but i hope you can help me, my community has been experiencing transphobic harassment from a Labour party member, her name is Bridget Phillipson and she is the current Minister for Women and Equalities, i look forward to your response and thank you in advance 🙏

tony blair successfully rebranded thatcherism as 'centrism'. now if you speak to a 'centrist' they are ferociously right wing and bigoted but they think they're moderates. andy burnham is trying to rebrand thatcherism as progressivism. if we let him get away with that we are all truly fucked.

Owen Jones@owenjones.bsky.social · last mo.

With Andy Burnham's speech, the left has unequivocally won the argument - on the rhetoric, at least. The substance is rather more complicated. But this government is more susceptible to popular pressure to go in a more progressive direction than Starmerism. Should embolden us!

maybe burnham’s speech woulda got me jazzed more if i was there but unfortunately i had major hate crimes and restroom facilities concerns so i didn’t attend.
