A suggested statement for Andy Burnham.

I want the Prime Minister to look into a TV camera and say the RNLI are heroes, that we do not change policy by street violence in this country, and that he expects any criminal action to face the full force of the law. That's it. That's all he has to do.

🏛️ Nearly every Plaid Cymru backbencher has demanded answers from the NHS on trans surgeries. In a joint letter, they asked what evidence, risk assessments, and consultations the NWJCC took in its decision. It's time for answers from NHS Wales.

As a new Harry Potter trailer makes the rounds, it bears repeating that there’s no way to watch this show without supporting J.K. Rowling’s bigotry and the structural violence she’s inflicting on the trans community.

There is no ethical consumption of HBO’s Harry Potter series

You can’t without supporting Rowling’s transphobic bigotry.

It is always the same betrayal: the public interest is sacrificed for the sake of immensely wealthy people. And Andy Burnham has already gone and done it. My column on how Burnham needs to defy the ultra-rich if he's not to follow Starmer out of the door. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Andy Burnham has already made a mistake that will cost him his premiership: he lost his nerve over political donations | George Monbiot

Being subservient to the interests of the wealthy now means that his hands are tied, and he will be unable to tackle Britain’s most pressing issues, says Guardian columnist George Monbiot

This is the most fucked up and immediately harmful policy decision I think I've ever seen in adult trans healthcare in the UK, and that's saying something. The Welsh Gender Service is one of the best in the country. It is widely praised by the patients it helps. That is why it is being targeted.

QueerAF@wearequeeraf.com · 2w ago

🚨🆕 @wearequeeraf.com and @whatthetrans.com can reveal that the NHS has cancelled all gender-affirming surgeries for adult patients of the Welsh Gender Service Some trans patients received the news just days or even hours before they were due to take place 👇 www.wearequeeraf.com/nhs-cancels-...

Addendum #2: Trans Aid Cymru and Trans Partnership Wales are asking people directly affected by the cancellation of surgeries to contact them - details here.

If you live in #Wales, please write to your Plaid Cymru MSs within your constituency (as well as Green MSs if you live in Cardiff) and bring awareness of this injustice against Trans people. You can find your MSs and their details here: senedd.wales/find-a-membe... #WGS #Trans

your reminder that just because someone isn't posting about a thing it doesn't mean they don't care about it. some things are too painful to post about.

I open up Bluesky to check in on poets, artists, writing – but I read that the NHS has cancelled all gender-affirming surgeries (at a moment's notice for some) and I close the app, crying. Then come back to ask, who the F are we? What are we now? Why do we let this happen? This has to stop NOW.

Helen Belcher@helenbelcherobe.bsky.social · 2w ago

The piece reveals exactly how biased the systems are against trans-related healthcate. Well researched evidence demonstrating real issues, simply ignored. One "GC" journalist blog expressing "concerns", no evidence of any actual harm, shuts down vital aspects of care. That's the scandal right there.

🎉 A historic win in Dover! We have gained Guston, Kingsdown & St Margaret’s-at-Cliffe from the Conservatives, beating Reform in second place. The Greens can take the fight to Reform and win! 💚

Right now the government is putting our communities, our water security and our climate ambitions second to the demands of tech giants. It's time to slam the brakes on water-guzzling, energy hungry datacentres.
