Judgement Day for the EHRC How the equality watchdog turned into a culture war campaign group

This is an excellent analysis of the cack-handed overreach by the EHRC in its attempt to use the Supreme Court judgement to make the lives of Trans people intolerable.

Trump ICE regime forces are kidnapping former Afghan translators that risked their lives to help the US. The regime in coordination with corrupt judges is entrapping people. When they show up to hearings the corrupt judges dismiss their cases quickly to allow ICE to snatch the victims. #3E #StopICE

A graphic of two cereal boxes, one is big and one is smaller. The graphic reads: End the Shrinkflation scandal.

The scourge of shrinkflation needs to be exposed. Shoppers are being hammered during a cost of living crisis while massive companies force them to pay more for less.

The Government must accept our Liberal Democrat amendment to protect shoppers and their already stretched household budgets.
