Green Party MP, Hannah Spencer, holding a sign which says: I signed the letter... Not In Our Name: Women in support of the trans+ community NION logo NotInOurName.org.uk

A big thank you to Hannah Spencer MP for signing our letter and standing in clear support of the trans+ community.

Like Hannah, many women from across the political spectrum have joined the 101,000+ UK women who have already signed our letter - Women in support of the trans+ community.

It's time for change. Legalise cannabis.

It's time to end the failed and deeply damaging ‘war on drugs’.

Scotland needs an evidence-based approach to drugs that prioritises public health and public safety, not more criminalisation.

Her office said the Office for Students (OfS), which regulates universities, had received reports of speakers and lecturers being harassed and blocked for holding gender-critical or religious views, of foreign interference suppressing academic freedoms, and of ideological belief requirements featuring in job advertisements.

The OfS will be able to use the new complaints scheme from September. From April, it will be able to fine universities the greater of £500,000 or 2 per cent of their income, which would amount to millions of pounds for large institutions, for breaches under the Freedom of Speech Act. Ultimately, universities could be deregistered for egregious cases.

Bridget Phillipson will introduce new laws to make it possible for Universities to be fined millions of pounds if they don't silence students who protest bigots invited onto their campuses. It's like the Tories never left office.

BBC News is going very hard on its investigation into advisers who help people ‘fake’ asylum claims, focusing especially on people who falsely claim to be gay. But it doesn’t say what percentage of claims are made on the basis of sexuality. As of 2023 — the last available figures — it was 3%.

David Lammy. Great to catch up with my friend JD Vance today in DC following his talks in Pakistan. It's vital that the cewsedire continues and we get shipping flowing freely again through the Straits of Hormuz. We continue to work together towards a just and lasting piece in Ukraine.

"My friend."

This is how our government greets those accused of war crimes.

This is not diplomacy. It's debasement.

Wit, unker, git: The lost medieval pronouns of English intimacy Tales of love and adventure from 1,000 years ago reveal a dazzling range of now-extinct English pronouns. They capture something unique about how people once thought about "two-ness".

A huge betrayal.

Won't lower bills. Won't give us more energy security. Won't insulate from price shocks.

And sends a clear message to the world that we are backing new oil and gas drilling.

Labour saying Starmer 'keeping Britain out of the war' will be part of their local elections campaign.

But it's untrue. There are 27 US B52s at RAF Fairford, launching bombing raids. Starmer has made Britain part of Trump's war.

He could have just said no, like Spain's PM.

Scratch a transphobe, uncover a fascist!

‘Gender critical’ transphobes are exposing their/ radicalising themselves into racism, homophobia, and misogyny as they self-exclude themselves from humanity and only interact with other fascists.
