Enough is enough.
Starmer must go.

It's true that Stonewall, attacked by the press, Charity Commission and the Right, came to the brink of collapse because it advocated for trans people. In the UK you can no longer do that work as a charity. But ceasing to be useful, genuflecting to hate, is not the answer. Better to cease to exist.

You already know that Nigel Farage is rarely in Clacton - but do you know he's also frequently missing from Parliament? 👀
Where is Nigel?

Writing for PinkNews, Wes Streeting, Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, says he hears the concerns of LGBTQ+ people, and wants to reassure trans youngsters that they have not been forgotten. If you are a young person questioning your gender, or a parent watching your child struggle with who they are, this moment of reassessing how NHS gender services are accessed and deployed may feel frightening. You might be worried about what comes next. You might feel uncertain, unheard, or invisible in a debate that too often talks about you, rather than to you.
The horrid horrid PinkNews, after going reporter-free, publishes Wes Streeting’s opinion, which denies the existence of trans kids in the first line.
Our latest video is on YouTube to make it even easier to share within your network - no matter what platform you’re on! 🩷
Help us get to 100,000 signatures, and beyond 🙏🏻

Transgender people will soon be banned from teaching at any level in Kentucky.
As a reminder, Germany did the same thing to Jewish teachers in 1933.
But, it can't happen here. Because democracy and good people or something.

Who's got a piece of Wes Streeting?
Wes Streeting having the chutzpah to tell the story about the NHS.
He doesn't tell the bit about how much he's accepted from private healthcare and the risk our NHS is at under this Labour Government.
And most of all, lots of questions about his meetings with Palantir.

Banning trans women from sports (or bathrooms, or anywhere) disproportionately harms cis women because it creates a narrower definition of womanhood.
Raw sewage released 300,000 times into England’s lakes and seas - despite major drop
Sewage spills from storm overflows were down by over a third last year from 2024, but mainly due to a lack of rain, with the UK experiencing its driest spring since 1974, writes Clare Fallon.

This is a workers' rights crisis. Outdated workplace regulations are becoming tools of exclusion. Trans+ people are being sent home from their jobs, unsure when, or how, they can return.
We are facing a workers' rights crisis for our community, and we need your help.
Outdated workplace regulations, last updated in the early 90s, are now being interpreted as requiring the exclusion and outing of trans+ people in the workplace.

The "support in private but silent publicly" approach from Senior Lib Dems is also the reason I left them. I have also joined the Greens. Ed Davy isn't the right leader in today's political environment.
Thank you to @alyx.whatthetrans.com @bexsailingmermaid.bsky.social @northwestbylines.co.uk and the @bylinesnetwork.co.uk for working with me on this expose of the Lib Dems failure to support trans people.
Please share!

This is great news: an immediate ban on political donations in cryptocurrency & a £100k cap on donations from UK citizens abroad.
Yes, there's more that needs doing, & the door is left open to crypto in future. But we should celebrate (& applaud) the wins when they come.

When Trump dies and people celebrate that fact, show this to anyone who complains.

Eid Mubarak. Wishing a happy and peaceful Eid to all those observing today. Our thoughts are with those unable to celebrate due to ongoing war, oppression and genocide.
Did you watch Dirty Business? I can't believe how much water companies have gotten away with. They're putting profit before public health - it’s a scandal and the Government MUST take action! Sick of sewage? Add your name to the petition today: you.38degrees.org.uk/petitions/en...
We live in Rip Off Britain.
We have to lower people's bills and tax wealth fairly.
This morning I'll be starting to lay out our vision of how to do this.

A selfie of Matthew Neumann, a man with a thick reddish-brown beard and glasses, sitting in a car and wearing a vibrant, multicolored shirt. He is holding up his Kansas driver's license toward the camera; the license shows his name and a male gender marker. The image includes a caption identifying him as the founder of the LGBTQ Foundation of Kansas and noting his refusal to surrender the license following the passage of a law declaring it invalid.
Under Kansas law, he must use the women's bathroom or be subjected to criminal charges in government owned buildings or $1000 vigilante lawsuits in public spaces.
I think everyone can understand why this is absurd and causes more problems than it was ever intended to fix.
All done, in my own words! Hopefully they will stop.

Trans joy is real. Trans Lives Matter.
Trans people are some of the best people I know.
🚨In 2020 Nigel Farage said of MPs who defect & refuse a by-election “it’s not right, it’s dishonorable”
ON 16 MARCH PARLIAMENT WILL DEBATE A PETITION FOR BY-ELECTIONS TO BE TRIGGERED AUTOMATICALLY WHEN MP’S DEFECT
I’m sure Mr Farage can’t wait to attend and repeat this comment.
We are not that far away from a 5 way split of c20%. This, if translated to an election result, would be utter chaos.
Anyone who doesn't think we need electoral reform must have their head buried firmly in the sand. Or is called Starmer.
