I'm so, so sorry that this has happened to you.

Enough is enough.

Starmer must go.

Starmer's human shield? Yeah, right. What did Starmer shout at him last September? "You're supposed to protect *me*!" Their relationship in Starmer's own words. This feels less like a functioning government and more like the end of Blazing Saddles.

Finally got my tooth fixed after my face swelled up. Now, I'm knackered due to infection and lack of sleep.

Feminist organizations and academic communities stand together for an inclusive feminism – Inkluderende feminisme Norwegian version On Trans Day of Remembrance in 2025, twenty-five Norwegian/Nordic feminist organizations, political parties, and academic communities came together to issue a consensus statement in ...

Last year, nearly 30 feminist organizations & feminist studies academic communities from the Nordic countries came together to issue a statement in support of an inclusive feminism – and called for confronting transphobia.

We were, in part, inspired by NION's statement.

Not to my knowledge. Most ambassadors are former civil servants, so they already have some level of vetting prior to taking up a post. I think there is only one other political appointment at the moment. So nothing about it was normal.

If anyone on here worked with Keir Starmer, you'd all avoid talking to him, too.

Tbf, Jo, nobody told him he was going to lose in Gorton and Denton. In fact, doesn't it seem like everyone hates talking to Starmer?

Another 2 days, another 1,000 signatures.

It now stands at 102,000!

This shows that cis women are wanting their voices to be heard.

If you haven’t signed, please do so at:

Then tell your friends.

Every signature is important, and trans people are grateful for your support.

I suspect the question now is whether Starmer resigns before or after the local elections, rather than "if" he resigns, especially after today's debacle.

Johnson didn't fail vetting. Ministers don't get vetted.

All appointees as diplomats and civil servants must go through vetting. Ministers don't, though.

Worth noting that while Keir Starmer is being very indignant over proper appointment procedures, he appointed the current cabinet secretary through an expedited process *in the middle of the Mandelson scandal*.

"If I was in his shoes I would have been forensic..."

@rachaelmaskell.bsky.social reminding us all how the Labour right sold Starmer to the British public, a long con they wouldn't have been able to get away with without a complicit mainstream media

Yeah well, we can’t have an inquiry into that because it’ll swiftly become apparent it was just Peter hooking Morgan up with undeclared millionaire bungs and Steve Reed drafting smeary dossiers on colleagues and passing them to Peter’s friends at the Times. And that’s just for starters, in 2018.

Thatcher, Major, Blair, Brown, Cameron, May, Johnson, Truss, Sunak, Starmer.
I'd genuinely be better. #VoteBinface

A convenient place to tell Kezia Dugdale how upset you are with her and Stonewall after her comments at the weekend. Don't pile on. But I think it's important that she understand the harm she's facilitating.

Disgusted on your abandoning of trans people to cuddle up to that hateful bigot in her castle. Stonewall is dead to the trans community and our allies.

"Starmer says he has now changed the rules to stop that happening again; in future, security vetting will have to take place first."

So good of the man responsible for acting against advice to fix the problem he caused after it blew up in his face. Ffs.

Keir Starmer is a backstabbing liar, plenty of expelled Labour Party members will agree with me.

It's absolutely despicable that Starmer thinks that our representatives are there to provide cover for him, and even worse that many supporr him in that. It's an abuse of the basic principles of democracy.

But then to use abused women as a cover to move the debate onto something else? 🤬

I'm sick of Labour, Reform and Tories exploiting victims of rape and abuse. They all need bringing down. I really hope people see through their false caring act and vote for a party that actually cares about people. You know who I mean. 🙏💚

"Repeated questions were asked, whether it was by No 10 or indeed the Cabinet Office, in order to be assured that the proper process was followed in the appointment of Peter Mandelson" - Number 10 avoiding saying that Starmer asked. Because he didn't. And Starmer didn't follow the proper process.

I think it's important to note that by not following advice in the Mandelson appointment, Starmer put at risk the security relationship with the US that he claims is so important. How can they be confident Mandelson didn't leak anything sensitive to US interests? That's a diplomatic nightmare.

Starmer has admitted "inadvertently" misleading Parliament.

So he admits that he is incompetent and isn't aware of what is going on in his government.

But, simply put, he did deliberately mislead Parliament: he had no reason to think due process had been followed as he didn't bother to check.

Well, this means that Starmer can't claim he listens to civil servants, so a key plank of his defence - that Olly Robbins should have told him and he would have acted - is called into doubt.

Text from office document sent to Keir Starmer showing he failed to follow civil service advice when appointing Peter Mandelson. Simon Case states that there was a need for Mandelson to be vetted prior to the appointment. It states that due dilligence needs to be followed before "confirming your choice". Starmer confirmed Mandelson was his choice to the public before vetting had been carried out.

The PM appointed Mandelson against civil service advice.

It was a political appointment. Mandelson isn't a civil servant.
