I am so proud of our local #trans community + allies for turning out today!
The police estimate was "over 700" which we know is likely to mean more like 1000 or so.
A huge thank you to everyone who came - you are all awesome!

Gee, if only there was a way of counting the number of different types of people in the country every say, 10 years?
That would be *incredibly* helpful.
'NHS England has no record of total number of trans people in country.'

Your colleague Labour MP Joani Reid just described trans people as a 'virus'.
Because she was upset that a vexatious case brought by a racist, transphobic nurse didn't go her way.
Tell me again about Labour's 'progressive policies'.

Starmer claimed he shared family values with Trump and that the US is a stable ally. After the US regime legalised the rape of trans women in prisons and the US National Security Strategy effectively gutting Europe I wonder where he stands now. 🧐😑

Considering the Israeli government officially got involved to juice the Eurovision voting system as a means of generating pro-genocide propaganda, any country still participating in this contest is essentially volunteering to support Israel's propaganda efforts.
Following Eurovision’s decision to allow Israel’s participation, Spanish public broadcaster RTVE has withdrawn from the contest. The announcement split the screen between Israel’s performance and scenes of bombardment and starving children in Gaza. #Spain #eurovision #genocide

We should IMO look at Britain’s awesome array of disastrous, overlapping problems, and then look at how our political/media class has spent half a decade fighting furiously to impose their solution to the question “Where should people we despise be allowed to piss”, and draw some harsh conclusions.

The TLDR of the Streeting review is your quality of life doesn't matter so long as you are contributing to the economy and employment stats - which will exacerbate most MH conditions and increase suicide rates, which they don't care about either because the economy, stupid.
