Alongside colleagues, I have tabled a motion to disapprove the Equality Act 2010: Draft Code of Practice for Services, public functions and associations. We cannot support it, and we have a responsibility to our trans constituents to resist it. Please email your MP asking them to sign EDM 240.

Informative & important post about the upcoming local elections - don't let the usual suspects (I'm looking at you Faragist Spivs) mislead & ill-inform you. There's a reason they're called "Local Elections" - they are local. 🙏

This is our parody of "Piece of My Heart" by the amazing soulful Erma Franklin. Our version addresses the situation unfolding with #Trump and #Greenland, & has rude words - it's called "Piece of Denmark". In solidarity with all fellow Europeans facing tariffs and trauma. #25th youtu.be/jSDIkpwlqsA

The notion that we must accept one form of religious extremism in order to guard against another is a false choice. The defence of an open, liberal society should be based on principled secularism and universal human rights, not a cynical, self-defeating bargain.

Amidst shameful media neglect of genocide in #Gaza, there has been a consistent exception: the UK’s Channel 4 News. Today’s report on the daily killings by Israelis of the starving queuing for food aid. Wait for the UN assessment at the end. This is a difficult but essential watch. Pls share.

I've built a machine that can be Confidently Wrong. It can also make pictures that all look a bit the same, as well as make a video of you kissing any celebrity or person you know. In payment, I'd like to boil the world's oceans dry, & steal all literature. For some reason, my head is not on a spike
