Had an amazing day out door knocking for @zackpolanski.bsky.social So much energy and passion to get our leader elected as our 6th MP. Holborn & St Pancras, would you rather another Labour Backbencher who will follow the whip or a real force for environmental, social and economic justice?

A crowd of green activists gathered to hear Natalie Bennett, Zack Polanski and Mothin Ali speak (all three focused in the centre of the shot)

In a world where racist losers march through seaside towns dressed all in black with balaclavas be a hopeful, colourful weirdo with a big gay flag instead 🏳️‍🌈 Thank you Milton Keynes for putting on a great pride festival.

A timeline of how the media and internet trolls bullied a black autistic man to his death. The case is ongoing so I don’t want to say too much, but shame on all the journalists who contributed to this.

I’ve written to the Mayor of London: “I urge you now to work with councils across London to support their efforts to make sure the (EHRC) guidance cannot be used to diminish the everyday rights of 🏳️‍⚧️ trans Londoners and to seek the wider adoption of these approaches across our city.” [1/3]

Letter to the Mayor of London Sadiq Khan. 

Equality and Human Rights Commission (EHRC) Code of Practice for Service
providers, Public Functions and Associations

I am writing following our conversation at Mayor’s Question Time (12 June 2026) where I raised concerns about the distress and anxiety trans Londoners tell me they are feeling following the publication of the revised Code of Practice for service providers and associations by the Equality and Human Rights Commission (EHRC). 

You told me that your “priority is to ensure London remains a city where everyone, regardless of gender identity, can thrive, feel safe and belong.” [1]

You'll be aware that this week, on 5 August 2026, the Government's updated EHRC Code of Practice comes into effect, following an order from the Minister for Women and Equalities.

Trans led organisations, such as Trans Actual, have maintained that the Code remains unworkable; it does not protect trans people, it does not help service providers and it does not respect the UK’s human rights obligations. [2]

Despite cross party condemnation, with 166 MPs signing Early Day Motion (EDM) 240,
tabled by Nadia Whittome MP, in an effort to halt this discriminatory guidance, there has
been no debate in Parliament.

The government's own Equality Impact Assessment admits that this code of practice would have wide-ranging negative impacts on Trans people and that Trans women could face a "disproportionate risk of violence and sexual assault.” [3]

I would like to know what work you and your Deputy Mayors have been doing, since we spoke about this in June, to prepare for the changes coming into effect on 5 August.
Londoners need to know how you intend to uphold the rights of trans people and support service providers to remain trans inclusive.

As an elected London politician, I am particularly concerned because London has the highest proportion of people in England whose gender identity differs from their sex
assigned at birth. [4] These are people in our community, work colleagues, neighbours, friends and family members, who should be able to participate in public life without fear of being outed, harassed or discriminated against at work or in public when using a toilet or changing room.

Lambeth Council recently announced that it would challenge the implementation of the
Draft Code of Practice on Services, Public Functions and Associations. Councillors backed a motion condemning the draft code as “incoherent and self-contradictory, discriminatory, and impossible to implement in a reasonable and proportionate manner.” [5]

The motion called on the council to protect LGBTQIA+ workers and service users by
refusing to implement the guidelines should legal advice confirm that such a move would be lawful.

When we spoke at MQT in June, you said “the GLA will continue to work closely with
boroughs, service providers, community organisations and partners to ensure our services remain welcoming, safe and appropriate.” [6]

I urge you now to work with councils across London to support their efforts to make sure
the guidance cannot be used to diminish the everyday rights of trans Londoners and to
seek the wider adoption of these approaches across our city.

This is about Trans people's right to exist in society free from abuse, discrimination and
segregation, with the autonomy to be who they know themselves to be.

Yours sincerely,
Caroline Russell AM

“LGBT reap what you sow comes to mind” posted by Mick Armsden in Reform Party Group on Facebook sharing a GBNews article about the Berlin pride incident claiming the suspect is an “Islamist”

www.thecanary.co/skwawkbox/20... The Young Greens have spoken. The tone is now set for what October’s Green Party conference may hold in store I’m proud to be part of a party that loudly rejects Zionism, Imperialism, Neocolonialism, Apartheid, Genocide and Ethnic Cleansing See you all in October

Young Greens dump pro-Israel 'IHRA' antisemitism 'definition'

The Israel lobby was in meltdown before the Young Greens even voted on the motion — that backlash is likely to intensify now that it’s passed

Not how I really wanted to kick off pride month, but we’re not free until we’re all free. I genuinely can’t believe we’re here, and it’s so important we push back against the TERFs 1/2 (6 Image Slideshow)
