Labour now briefing young people won't get the same minimum wage uplift.
Even Starmer didn't break this pledge. Workers rights mean same rights, pay & conditions, same rate for the same job.
What does this Labour government have against young people?

Really try to imagine what it’s like to be a trans kid right now in the many states with ballot initiatives on their rights. What on earth would you tell yourself to get out of bed in the morning? To go to school. To even try and imagine any future at all. Could you do it? I don’t know that I could.
this is a perfectly reasonable list, imo
these four are all monumentally awful on trans issues and this is a more than fair place to draw the line, especially given how the elections currently look - three of them are in the house, where dems will romp regardless, and iowa can do better than turek
The elections are on next Tuesday, and so much is at stake, including the soul of the Democratic Party when it comes to transgender people.
I am asking you to leave a very small number of races blank in which a Democrat has embraced extreme anti-trans hate.
I make my case here.
My pal Danielle Koenig shared that her father Walter Koenig passed away last night at age 90. A performer whose kindness and warmth shone through the screen. He will be well remembered.
Olivia Chow is a passionate defender of Toronto. She is someone who never stops working for the community and the people of the city. Let's bring this home friends.
The human rights situation here seems untenable. The rules have changed in a clearly discriminatory way, segregated "third spaces" often don't exist, trans people affected by this legally can't just resign, and they face court martial and imprisonment for rule breaking.
Alberta is restricting when the Treaty 6 and Métis Nation flags are flown at schools to the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation.
Pride flags will NEVER be allowed to fly.
But you can fly the Vatican City flag.

Egyptian journalist Lina Attalah is among our best and our bravest, and her team at Mada Masr is incredible.
Now, Egyptian authorities are trying to go after them.
Proud to see @timep.bsky.social among a global coalition of 119 organizations stating that we refuse to let that stand.

Shopify's CEO is on X advocating for Brad Bradford to win because of a City of Toronto post about speed limits featuring two men and a stroller, something he clearly doesn't think will happen under Brad's rule. This is the guy who thinks rich people deserve more votes. This is who Brad attracts.
Please, I beg of you. Understand this environment trans people are living in when you interact with us online. You need to have way more than just basic empathy right now.
hang on, so Bleecker Street was sold to a Pierre Omidyar-backed group that also happens to back Tosca Musk's Passionflix... and now "MUSK" is disappearing from theaters?
I try to imagine it—hearing a vicious, down-is-up simulacrum of my lived experience wielded as a tool & a weapon, every single day, on the heels of all the other ways, implicit & explicit, I'm dehumanized by my society, culture, & politics—& I can't. I only know how it looks from here, & it's vile.
Canadians can’t afford rent. Food bank use is at a record high. Wages are stagnant while the rich are getting richer than ever before.
Of all the people who could use this kind of federal support right now, venture capitalists are at the bottom of that list.

where are the articles about parents cutting off their kids, as mine did to me when I came out as trans?
Where's the moral outrage over being cut off from family support, acknowledgement of the material harm that that has done to me?
The Conservatives want you to believe they can cut your taxes, add no new taxes AND balance the budget, all without touching your health care.
The BC Greens have a costed plan that makes life affordable and asks the ultrawealthy to pay their fair share.
Vote Green on Saturday, Oct. 24.
The goal should not be to punish rich white people the same way as poor Black people (leveling down), but to work to make sure that all people are punished like rich white guys (leveling up).
Same here.
It's true that Jews and Muslims face a collective burden Christians don't.
But: no one should!
Hey! You! Do you live in Washington, Texas, California, New Jersey, or Wisconsin? Your rep may be a fucking shitstain scumbag DCCC chair or vice chair! You should go yell at em!
In a major escalation in Dems embracing anti-trans positions, the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee, the official campaign arm of House Democrats, released its first anti-trans ad supporting Nancy Lacore in SC-01.
Transphobia is spreading among dems.

Paraphrasing: When the Metropolitan Community Church in Argentina invited the main liberation theologians across the Southern Cone to sign an open letter repudiating the killings of homosexuals in Argentina by a right-wing group, none of them agreed to do so.

There is an important UN vote calling on an end to Marco Rubio's blockade of Cuba.
This past summer Canada took a dive and abandoned our longstanding tradition of standing with Cuba. Call your MP and tell them to do the right thing.

No, this is not the entirety of her transphobia.
She used to focus a lot on trans men.
She generalised her internalisation of her father’s disappointment in her being a girl into the experiences of trans men. That they were self-hating victims of patriarchy. They wanted to be boys as an escape.
What is it about centrists that makes them so gullible?
Everyone I know, knew Burnham would not be a left wing PM.
He has never been left wing. He hasn't ever pretended to be.
But loads of people just refused to believe that the widely predicted Thatcherite mess we see unfolding, was possible.
We really need a Green Party government if we’re ever going to stop the blatant corruption in this country.
Labour is a party for the lobbyists and donors.
Won’t lower energy bills.
Won’t boost energy security
And creates just 27 jobs.
Compared to all the benefits of investing in renewables and insulating our homes.

If you’ve voted Green in the past, I’m asking for your support in this election.
In 11 seats last time, the Green vote was the difference between electing a Conservative and electing a New Democrat.
You rejected a citizens' assembly on electoral reform less than a year ago and told Greens to "go out and campaign for it." Now that they are, you're begging them to stop.
Fix our distorted voting system instead of asking voters to abandon their values.

Damn, this hits home with me.

The Labour Party, seeing themselves being accused of killing trans people through their policy: “Don’t worry, we’ve got policy that will kill everyone else as well!”
