Beyond cruel . I still can’t believe I told my adult trans child that they would be safer under a Labour government. They are worse than the Tories- hiding it behind a shameful veneer of a ‘study’. I feel so much for the U18’s left to pay exorbitantly or detransition

Update: Young people & families today received shocking & transphobic letters from NHS. These letters tell people that endocrine care (blockers / HRT) is being fully withdrawn in 7 weeks time (July 31st). Forced medical detransition. This country is a danger to trans children & young people.

Belfast knife suspect won asylum in Britain under 'fast-track' scheme introduced by UK Tory govt. Then home secretary Suella Braverman and immigration minister Robert Jenrick – who have both since defected to Reform - oversaw the introduction of the scheme. They have a few questions to answer.

There are now more bots than people on the Internet. This problem is truly dystopian on sites like Threads and Twitter. They’re busy gaslighting humanity with propaganda. And humanity keeps falling for it.

In Sunderland, Reform stood David Barker. Who beat his girlfriend “black and blue”. He also neglected and burnt his child with cigarettes. He was handed a suspended sentence. It comes up when you Google him. He won in the council election. A vicious domestic abuser is now a Reform Councillor.

Incoming Hungarian PM Péter Magyar calls for the UK to rejoin the European Union: "I remember when I was a diplomat in Brussels... We were able to influence decisions. At the time, the Brits were also part of the EU. Let's hope they will rejoin."

If ever, in a future history lesson, an example was required of the harm of Brexit to the UK, it’s now. We are isolated. We may ‘stand’ with other EU countries but we are still the discarded plaything of the orange fascist and now, by association, the target of a theocracy hell bent on revenge
