You can't call us transphobic until party conference is such a fantastic rallying cry for the left, 10/10. No notes.

Have you considered waiting for conference before accusing the party of being transphobic?

The Your Party Scotland branch has deleted their account because a bunch of trans people asked why they are comfortable to work with so many transphobes.

"Have you considered waiting for the conference in November before accusing Your Party of being transphobic? Because we're having a vote on whether to support trans then. Me, I don't have a problem with them. I was actually in the same room as Jeremy when he said he wasn't bothered about it either."

Genuinely why is the BBC running push alerts every single time an asylum seeker does anything bad?

They do not do this every time a white man assaults someone or murders someone. It is an endless scaremongering tactic completely unbefitting a national broadcaster.

World's crazy out there. Tell your friends you love them.

Brianna didn't die because of her self-harm or social media use. She was murdered in a transphobic hate crime.

Here is the interview I gave to Owen Jones at the time, as the only trans journalist reporting on the trial of her murderers.

Each SGP councillor who just jumped to a different party signed an agreement to stand down and allow a by-election if they left the party.

Just so everyone's aware of the note they begin their time in a flailing party on.

Brianna keeps getting written about, even if not especially her own mother, like she tragically killed herself rather than was murdered in a transphobic hate crime

Most of us have pathologically useless parents who don't care to learn about protecting us properly, but this dogshit really takes the cake.

This is going from very funny to just right out sad really quickly: I just learnt that Your Party in Wales is controlled by someone who is married to the co-founder of the transphobic campaigning group Womens Place UK.

You do not need to sell your soul for that. Ever.

What's wrong princess, you're joining a more socially right wing party run by landlords because the Glasgow Greens greens aren't left wing enough?

Lol sure! Make sense to me πŸ‘
