We were very happy to lend our name to this important letter, now sent to the PM, which follows the launch of Asylum Matters’ and Praxis’ new report Under Threat: Why UK Charities No Longer Feel Safe. Pass it on! cdn-d2po0k1vdlkvv.asylummatters.org/uploads/2026... @praxisprojects.bsky.social

🚨 HALF of charities report threats or harassment🚨 We worked w/ @asylummatters.bsky.social to report on hundreds of charities facing far-right threats. It uncovers death threats, assaults, racist abuse, doxing, & families being threatened. What will it take for the Government to take action?

One of our trustees, @drcharlottegalpin.bsky.social, has this week released this report. Bottom line: an important and close analysis of how the UK media have used and are using anti-trans posturing as a wedge issue to attack the rights of all minorities. transmediawatch.org/how-anti-tra...

If you'd like to read an interesting analysis of what has been going on in the wider world, you might consider buying a copy of J. K. Rowling and the Anti-Trans Panic ohiostatepress.org/books/titles... If you'd like to pay a bit less, you can use the code word PANIC to get a 40% discount.

We've been writing to Lisa Nandy, Minister for Culture, Media and Sport: asking about her government's previous commitment to implementing Leveson, and what happened to it. Letter here for info. Further background and updates to come. transmediawatch.org/wp-content/u...

If you are being harassed by a journalist, or fear you are about to be, IPSO has an out of hours emergency number you can call. Details here: www.ipso.co.uk/home/contact/ Not sure how useful that is, given how useless IPSO is generally. But in extremis, worth a try.

Seconding this. It is utterly shocking.

Remember: implementing Leveson was official Labour policy for over a decade, right up to 2024... ...when Starmer did a deal with Murdoch to lay off the press for the duration of his reign. Sell-out and Stitch-up... are the names of just two of the lawyers in Starmer's law firm

A useful analysis of today's news about Jason Arday from our chair, @janefae.bsky.social bsky.app/profile/jane...

jane fae #facciamorete #antifa@janefae.bsky.social · 3mo ago

Today's story is about Jason Arday. It is a story of seemingly remorseless racism and harassment, coupled with an utter lack of empathy on the part of the uk media.

As gay marriage is attacked in US, UK must not be complacent

It’s easy to view the attempted rollback of rights as an American problem. But LGBTQ rights are at risk here, too

Just for once, some good news on the media front. Congratulations to Tortor - to whom we have awarded our first annual film bursary of £2, 500. transmediawatch.org/announcement...

A project worth supporting... forgenderdiversity.org

Asking. We have lately been looking at complaints to IPSO in respect of stories that are trans-related. Funny thing: we can find very few such complaints recorded on their website. So, if you complained in the last few years, drop a line in the dm's and we'll look to see if it was ever recorded.

If you have a moment, check out this link: bsky.app/profile/jane... It goes to the heart of why we continue to campaign as we do.

jane fae #facciamorete #antifa@janefae.bsky.social · 2y ago

This is an old story (well, 2023) about IPSO, press regulation, and an impossible requirement: to investigate a story about a made-up person, they must have that person's permission to do so. You could not make it up. Unless you are IPSO, or the UK media. jane-67706.medium.com/through-the-...

We are in the process of redeveloping what we do and if you have an interest in working to make the UK media a bit better/less awful, maybe drop us a line in the dm's

Morning, @transaware.bsky.social: can we chat?

For those wanting some numbers on what has been going on in Scotland... aka the nastiness going on down at the Scottish Daily Express... this is pretty relevant. transmediawatch.org/scottish-new...

Some of you may have noticed horrid stuff going down at the Scottish Daily Express. Just FYI, we are putting together a response. If you would like to help, drop us a line at info@transmediawatch.org

So, this account has been bubbling under for a while. Today, however, we are finally moving over our main commitment to this app. Because the other place is just too toxic. Follow if you can. And please repost, etc. so others can engage.
