I urge you to fill in this consultation if you can - with this very helpful support from Amnesty International - although AND because ! it is heart-breaking that this country has sunk so low that Amnesty suggest in a number of cases to provide no answer as the terms of the question are so evil
The UK government is proposing radical and punitive changes to settlement rules. This is settlement, not citizenship. The consultation is open until 12 February; please respond to it and oppose these evil proposals. Amnesty have a good guide: www.amnesty.org.uk/resources/gu...

This is the report I spoke of on #bbcaq just now - ministers tried to suppress it, were finally forced to release it after an FoI, but shamefully only published a redacted version. The first duty of Govt is to protect its citizens - that starts with being honest with us about scale of threat we face
This is the UK security assessment that the government tried to bury: ecosystem collapse is a national security threat.

The only trans people mentioned in the epstein files are victims.
Hundreds of known anti-trans people are in them, though, either rubbing shoulders with the rape-cult, an active part of the clique, or trying to gain access.

Chatted to my great uncle yesterday – a northern, working-class guy, not that political. I told him my job involved exposing Farage.
His first question was: “who funds him?”

If Netflix capitulates to their demands, an already strained market for LGBTQ+ animators might become even more dire.

I liked this, particularly how it offers to prospective Reform voters that Reform is not actually any different (but likely worse) than what we have had for the last decade plus. Reform pretends to be radically different to what we have, but it is anything but. #votegreen
