Nigel Farage is not on the side of working people.
It turns out that sex work IS work when police want to deport migrants. Brothel workers were arrested and deported for working without a visa in England.

Joint Statement from the National Women's & LGBT + Committees - 16/6/25 Today representatives of the National LGBT + and Women's committees met to continue our discussions regarding the Supreme Court ruling on the FWS vs Scottish Government case, and the consultation currently being undertaken by the EHRC, the statutory body for upholding the Equality Act. We have been speaking to and hearing from women and trans members in a broad spectrum of workplaces, across the UK, gathering evidence and feedback about members' feelings and experiences following the ruling. We understand the fear and uncertainty that this ruling has created for some workers, and we want to reassure our women & trans members that Unite The Union will always fight for the rights for all workers, both in and out of the workplace. If you are experiencing any harassment or discrimination following the ruling, please contact your branch or workplace representatives who will be able to help. To the trans community; you will always have a home in our union. We will always fight for you, and together we will succeed. Unite the UNION

OK folks, really need your help. Trans Pride NI is getting zero funding, nothing from the council or Belfast Pride and if they don't hit £5k, it won't happen. They're over £2k now.
Can we get this to target?
Please share.

Labour women’s event in chaos over trans law Party told to drop women’s meeting with members on ruling executive at odds with Government position The Daily Telegraph20 May 2025By Hayley Dixon special correspondent Labour is set to postpone its women’s conference as the party descends into chaos over the Supreme Court trans ruling. Confidential advice sent to members of the National Executive Committee recommends that they cancel the event in order to avoid legal action and political embarrassment. The document sets out that the “only legally defensible alternative” would be to limit the event to biological women, but does not explain why this is not the preferred option. LABOUR is set to postpone its women’s conference as the party descends into chaos over the Supreme Court trans ruling. Confidential advice sent to members of the National Executive Committee (NEC) recommends that they cancel the event in order to avoid legal action and political embarrassment. The document sets out that the “only legally defensible alternative” would be to limit the event to biological women, but does not explain why this is not the preferred option. The advice notes that Labour’s “positive action” policies, of which the conference is a part, have until now operated on the basis that biological men can be included if they selfidentify as women. It states that such positive action policies including allwomen shortlists will have to be on the basis of biological sex rather than gender identity.
We're on the front page of the Telegraph again
Has the Labour machine cancelled their Women's conference to stop women in the Labour party passing motions in solidarity with Trans women and making the leadership look bad?
Pissing off all the Labour women who support trans people seems like a stupid thing to do but they refuse to acknowledge all those women (the majority) exist so I guess they'll find out soon.
