I have just messaged the PM about the Labour MP’s appalling comments. I have called for him to remove the whip from her, and that lack of action indicates his tacit support for her appalling discriminatory views. I urge folk to do the same.

I’m on strike to protect Goldsmiths from a management that in my opinion appears intent on destroying a unique institution. They claimed there is a deficit that needs redundancies, but Novara is reporting there has been no deficit in the last 5 years.

As hospitals across the country cave to the Trump administration’s threats to cut federal funding and abandon trans youth, actor Elliot Page speaks out. In New York City, NYU Langone, Mount Sinai, and NewYork-Presbyterian abruptly ended care for trans kids in response to these threats.
