Meta Deletes Trans and Nonbinary Messenger Themes
Amid a series of changes that allows users to target LGBTQ+ people, Meta has deleted product features it initially championed.

Reminder that my account is LGBTQIA+ inclusive. If you don't like that or if you feel that my acceptance of people regardless of race, gender or sexuality offends you, I suggest that you go home and rethink your life and consider why you choose to hate others.

Can anybody still holding a candle for Your Party explain to me why? When the @greenparty.org.uk exists in its current form.
Even if you think they're not left enough or too pro NATO or something (lol) I don't understand why they don't try and do entryism.
They're well left of pre Corbyn Labour.

So it looks like Rachel Reeves has *not* abolished or cut back the cycle to work scheme. Perhaps she has read the Treasury's own 2023 assessment of the scheme, which found that in terms of creating modal shift, and thus boosting public health, it is very, very effective.

Today, Nigel Farage reiterated his belief that Enoch Powell ‘was right’.
If you are a Sikh, he’s talking about you - about how ‘wearing turbans whilst driving a bus would disrupt Britain’.
If you are black, he’s talking about you - how when you moved in next door to white people, you ‘took over’.

Sylvan Adams is present at NSN's first training camp, and the team could not rule out whether he will be seen at races going forward.
While he 'has no role' at NSN (formerly IPT), does that mean he's gone for good?

This huge amount could have paid for lower train and bus fares, better stations, safer walking, wheeling and cycling and much more!

1. A landmark study was just published in The Journal of Pediatrics.
It found a 68% reduction in suicidality for trans youth getting HRT.
It also found only 7 of more than 400 stopped taking HRT... and of those that did, 4 still identified as gender-diverse.
