If you don’t like what’s happening to trans people, now is the time to tell the PM. He needs to hear from the majority, not just the TERFs. It’s not just toilets. It’s also about prisons, sport, access to gender affirming healthcare and puberty blockers. It’s human rights. contact.no10.gov.uk

These four ‘flagshaggers’ were taken to court and are subject to a High Court injunction preventing further flag raising. The following week, one of them was back in court facing charges of making indecent images of children.

The far-right in England really is something else. If this was anyone else, the government would be looking at proscribing them as a terrorist organisation. Their purpose to is to terrorise council workers into leaving their flags up. Still, mustn't upset the flagshaggers.

Leaders of flag-raising group Raise the Colours Oxfordshire placed trackers on highway workers’ cars to find out their home addresses, the High Court has heard. RTC then attempted to intimidate the highway staff into no longer removing flags by repeating their addresses to them.

1/3 Strip away the theatre and Reform UK is a billionaire-backed project to dismantle the public realm, shred regulatory protections and hand what remains of state power to capital. It’s plain to see – just follow the money.

Here it comes... We will probably have a Reichstag moment before midterms

The Home Office is telling people who have built their lives here that their status under the EU Settlement Scheme was granted in error initially. This can upturn people's whole lives. We are compiling evidence to see how we can challenge this. the3million.org.uk/contact-us

Marry someone who wants a bottle of this, and adds it to the shopping list as ‘Wrongbena’.

The Greens are calling on Burnham to change the law and protect trans rights 💚

The weather has changed in the #Malahideaway. We have grey skies and several drops of rain.

Hugely hugely concerned by this archive.ph/2026.07.27-1...

Surely, unless Burnham reverses ALL of Labours anti-trans/anti-rights policies, major UK LGBT+ organisations MUST boycott not just this and future Labour conferences, but the 2027 IDAHOBIT forum too?

It’s now a Burnham transphobia problem. metro.co.uk/2026/07/29/m...

It might have been a good thing if Burnham had checked whether his invitees were free before trumpeting this meeting.

I’m with my family in France and as people know I have a disabled son who needs 24/7 care, so I can’t be back in Westminster tomorrow - but I look forward to meeting Andy Burnham over Zoom. I’m hopeful this call may prove to be the first step towards fixing our broken care service.

If you're a trans person in England (or the parent or guardian of a young trans person in England) I strongly recommend doing this immediately. The new data principles for the shared NHS record in England - based on the transphobic and psuedoscientific Sullivan Review - are designed to out us.

notorious transfem supremacist@takeyourpillsalice.bsky.social · last wk.

You can opt-out of having a shared NHS record. I opted out over a decade ago now and it has never affected any of the medical care I receive except having to give new doctors a list of my medicine because they can't pull it off my GPs system. www.nhs.uk/using-the-nh...

It would absolutely take more than a week to restore the equality act and the GRA, undo the damage of the Cass and Sullivan reports, and fix the mess that is the NHS' treatment of trans people. It would take about two minutes to acknowledge that these things need doing.

"What all the critics of Miliband’s appointment are overlooking is that it is not actually the purpose of the Foreign Secretary to appease Donald Trump. The job of Foreign Secretary is to stand up for British interests." ✍️ @alexhh.bsky.social bylinetimes.com/2026/07/27/i...

'It's Trump, Not Ed Miliband Who Is the Source of the UK's Transatlantic Problems'

The first job of the Foreign Secretary is to stand up for Britain's interests, not to appease a President trying to undermine them, argues former British diplomat Alexandra Hall Hall

Andrew and Tristan Tate staying in jail until their next hearing as they fight extradition to UK on rape and sex trafficking. US magistrate Lauren Louis set a detention hearing for 13 August to determine whether the Tates should stay in jail or be released during what could be a months-long process

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

Over 150,000 came out in full force for London Trans+ Pride to say loud and clear: Trans rights are human rights 💖

As an academic, I have decided to pre-empt AI taking my job, so I am going to take ITS job! I am going to start hallucinating, lying to my students, and drinking 700,000 litres of water

In service to this bubble, AI firms have suborned regional governments into running roughshod over environmental and planning rules in order to build endless acres of data centers, many of which will likely end up casualties of the imminent bubble-pop, never to be switched on or even completed. 5/

Usually it's not great when a person in power tells others to just give up and do what they want.

This is so outrageous. The Government wants to reclassify Coastguard Rescue Officers as "volunteers" so they can get out of paying them an hourly wage when they go out to save lives. Please sign the petition to demand the Government scrap these plans. act.38degrees.org.uk/act/coasguar...

Sack Mahmood. Pre-screen people in France and open safe routes so women and children don't have to die in the Channel to request asylum. Allow asylum seekers to work, pending a decision. Treat immigrants fairly, a) because it's the right thing to do and, b) because without them we're screwed.

Here’s another fight we’ve lost. ‘The 1900s’ should mean the decade between 1900 and 1909. The period between 1900 and 1999 should be referred to as ‘The twentieth century’.

Forty years ago they would have been football hooligans. It’s not about politics, it’s just looking for an excuse for a bit of a rumble.
