As we mark anotther #LesbianVisibilityWeek, this matters.
You don’t have to be a lesbian to stand up for lesbians. You just have to believe in equality and fairness.
Anyone can be an ally. Everyone has a role to play.
We’ve written to Mr Farage about this Reform UK candidate & others who deny covid & make false claims about the covid vaccine.
Looking forward to his reply after he has ‘looked into’ them. Swift action needs to be taken to remove them.

Reform UK now says it is merely "looking into" Byline Times' revelations that one of its candidates authored a conspiracy theory article in a 9/11 Trutherb' journal.
It effectively claimed the COVID pandemic was a Pentagon-led scam. Bereaved families are furious.

More good #vaccines news:
It began with coal and steel. But from the very start, our Union was always meant to be much more.
75 years ago, in Paris, with the signing of the Treaty of Paris, Europe chose a different path.
One of unity over division, of peace over war.

This is HUGE: long-fought for improvements in sick pay for 10 million workers from this month.
Very pleased to have participated in celebration in Parliament of the success of this fantastic #safersickpay campaign.

Today, the Covid Inquiry published its fourth report, on vaccines and therapeutics.
It says the vaccine rollout was a success.
But unless trust in vaccines is rebuilt and manufacturing capacity increased, we will be relying on luck when the next pandemic hits.

Conspiracy theories claiming Covid-19 was a “staged event” are an insult to all who lost loved ones and a threat to public health.
Reform must remove David Booth as a candidate and clearly disown these dangerous lies.

Tomorrow, the Covid Inquiry publishes its report on vaccines and therapeutics.
Covid vaccines saved countless lives and helped end the emergency stage of the pandemic.
The report must now drive urgent action to strengthen preparedness, tackle misinformation and ensure equal access to vaccines.
Today, Europe is Hungarian.
We are stronger. More united.
To the people of Hungary - you've done it again.
You have spoken.
You have chosen Europe.
It's a victory for fundamental freedoms.
NEXT…..
Hungary has chosen Europe.
Europe has always chosen Hungary.
A country reclaims its European path.
The Union grows stronger.
Woo hoo!
I take hope where I can get it.
(For context: Reform won control of Kent County Council in May 2025.)
When Angela Rayner underpaid £40,000 stamp duty on her flat, Richard Tice said it was "morally completely indefensible” and she should immediately resign if she had “any moral decency”.
Now we learn he personally made £91,000 in excess payments by failing to pay the tax his company legally owed
Imagine trusting science to bring astronauts to the moon and back but not trusting science to develop safe vaccines.

You probably won’t have read much about these announcements. Some of that is understandable. But not all of it.

And now Wireless itself has announced that the festival has been cancelled.
ALL OF THIS WAS AVOIDABLE IF YOU HADN'T BEEN SUCH MASSIVE PRATS
And they are linked. ‘Bread’ is under threat so they are going with ‘Circus’.
BBC coverage of Artemis II might even be compared with that of the 1936 Berlin Olympics.
Think this meets & exceeds the definition of chutzpah:

@kentonline.co.uk why do you fail to report violent crime in Deal eg 26 March police officer assaulted? Also, Feb 2025 mother attacked by son with cricket bat is in hospital for weeks?
Getting fed up with constant stream of free PR for NASA.
No discussion of cost.
No discussion of damage to the environment.
Oh, and the female astronaut hardly gets to speak (except about the toilet).

The interview is really worth listening to though - Mishal Hussein quietly & forensically exposes Shriver’s contradictions (the descendent of German immigrants to the U.S., the migrant to the UK & then Portugal who isn’t against all immigrants; just those who are unlike her).
