Here it is. My manifesto for the 2026 Clacton By-Election. It's a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Join me, clean up Clacton and let's make 13th August Bin Day! #VoteBinface #VoteyMcVoteface #YesWeTinCan
You will be a government minister while The Government asks service providers to segregate Teraina Hird because she is trans. bsky.app/profile/sara...
Sarah Owen MP@sarahowen.org.uk · 2mo agoToday, @commonswec.parliament.uk will be questioning the EHRC on the new code of practice. It's important we remind ourselves that trans people across the country are simply trying to exist freely. I am very grateful to those in Luton North who have been kind enough to share their stories with me.
Mahmood staying as Minister for abusing human rights, presumably for the love of the game.
The UK Government's #KCSIE 2026 guidance retains serious human rights concerns, especially for trans, non-binary, and intersex young people. We urge the UK Government to ensure compliance with equality and human rights obligations https://bit.ly/3T6kjAc

@amnestyuk.bsky.social if you don’t stand up to these gender critical attacks then what are you for? Why exist? Can’t you see with your own eyes that this organised and financed attack is exactly what your report warned about?
Seems like south east coast ambulance service has done exactly this! 👏 Transphobes are directed to use third spaces. The usual suspects are furious!
Ashleeee 🌊🪭@reactiveashley.cat · 4w ago1/🧵 The EHRC Code of Practice recommends but does not require that businesses segregate trans folks. My advice to businesses is to ignore the EHRC and do business as usual, to be unapologetically trans-inclusive, and, whenever someone demands exclusion, to direct them to single-occupancy facilities.
If you're coming to Bristol Pride tomorrow, I will be speaking on the Main Stage at 5.10pm!
Has Farage actually resigned? He said "today I will resign as a Member of Parliament" yesterday. He is still listed as the member for Clacton.
Even with the most generous interpretation of the £5m "gift", Christopher Harborne now does have leverage against Farage as a matter of fact. He could release a statement tomorrow saying "it was a bribe for X", and use the threat of that against Farage. That's why we have these rules.
So it's not "legitimate" healthcare to try to change someone's identity? Better let the health secretary know.
Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State for Equalities is sat on the front bench. Guess the statement is coming soon. parliamentlive.tv/Event/Index/...

🧵For the many people who have been subjected to horrific practices of abuse, just because of who they are or who they love, this will be a bittersweet day. Bitter because despite cross party working, it is long overdue - but sweet because there is finally light at the end of the tunnel. 1/3
Another manifesto commitment thrown away. The Labour 2024 manifesto said "so-called conversion therapy is abuse". This bill now says "Actually, it's only abuse in these narrow circumstances which is effectively never". Screenshot from their 2024 manifesto:
Thanks you to @warinderjussmp.bsky.social for asking this important question.
Conversion practices draft bill Action by the NHS (or any healthcare professional) is excluded unless it "falls far below the standards reasonably expected".
The minister is scheduled to make a statement today on the topic "Publication of draft Conversion Practices Bill for pre-legislative scrutiny". So we might be seeing it today. whatson.parliament.uk/event/cal55965

Safety is paramount. But access to puberty blockers is an issue of access to healthcare, and there should never be a block to healthcare for anyone who needs it.
Never mind, we got there just now! This government does not have a working majority in the commons to pass this code of practice, except by procedural shenanigans.
Jake@jake2500.com · last mo.Just 1 more Labour MP (83 right now) is needed to wipe out their working majority in the Commons. Then this government will be effectively passing this code of practice due to conservative and reform support!

Marcus Bell: We *do* have a functioning gender recognition process, although it's been moderated of course by the SC judgement. Moderated? Moderated?? I thought we never had those rights to begin with??? such REVEALING language
Access single sex services. can I just say that was one of the most infuriating and insulting things I've ever heard on my fucking life. Literally how dare she. How fucking dare she, absolutely odious, poisonous individual speaking out of both sides of her bloody mouth

Jake@jake2500.com · last mo.This morning in the Commons before PMQs there's oral questions on Women and Equalities. First question to the minister will be "What steps she is taking to help tackle discrimination against trans people?" Gonna guess the answer will be "dignity and respect". whatson.parliament.uk/event/cal55370

Wes Streeting has been on TV explains how it's better [for his career] to not have a leadership contest.
Fun fact, if we get just 5 more Labour MPs (at 79 right now) to sign, that would be enough to theoretically eliminate the Labour majority in the House of Commons. (I realise there's a lot of other news right now)
Trans+ Solidarity Alliance@transsolidarity.bsky.social · 2mo agoThis is already out of date, but in a good way. There are now 145 MPs seeking to reject the EHRC guidance 🏳️⚧️ edm.parliament.uk/early-day-mo...
