Just highlighting this data, from the Trevor Project, re. "take away trans kids' phones for their health".

The only place LGBTQ+ kids are more likely to go for mental health support than "nowhere" is the internet.

What do you think will happen if that's taken away?

now if only we could find some politicians capable of figuring this out on their own without tanking their polls and trashing their potential as a new government
NEW: Rachel Reeves signals she intends to remove the two-child cap *in full*

"I don't think a child should be penalised because they're in a bigger family through no fault of their own," she tells BBC.

There’s a clip from right at the end of Nicolae Ceausescu’s rule of him making a speech at some outdoor rally and the crowd starting to boo and him being completely unable to understand what was going on.

We went to see an am-dram production of Strangers on a Train last week and for some reason they seem to have used AI to write an article on ‘strangers on a train’ for the programme. Drivel in its purest form.

Farewell then Tim Davie. Under his watch the BBC whitewashed genocide, had the BBC News website resembling a “migrant crime” X account, boosted trans hate and the right wing STILL hate him. Quite an achievement

And if we think it’s bad now, imagine what it could look like, say, two months from a U.K. general election?

Could imagine huge sums in US far right cash flooding in, much of what would only be declared after the election (our electoral rules really are a jape)
Be clear, the American far right are coming for British democracy.

Darren is worried about a Reform government. Trans people, disabled people and people seeking asylum already have a Reform government

I’d rather be let down by the Green Party actually *trying* to make our lives better because at least you could say they’ll have a go. We’ve been let down by Labour deliberately & intentionally making life in Britain harder & making crap excuses for punitive political choices

a few years ago i hoped i would be able to change my gender legally and maybe even get trans healthcare as a nonbinary person but instead weve gone backwards. and im at increased risk of losing benefits. & i got made homeless & there was literally nothing tho thats prolly standard for a few decades
As a Safety manager in the NHS, Labour is most likely making me redundant, and I could lose my house. Making NHS patients less safe in the process.

How are Labour policies changing your life?
Why aren't Labour's life-changing policies connecting with voters - and what can the party do? It's down to messaging, how it's told, and the messengers...

We don't get enough numbers at our counter demos here, it's a big ask but if you fancy making your way over to be called a paedophile, faggot or fat cunt by someone in a British National Socialists cloak (yes) there's nothing to do here afterwards and it's no fun whatsoever x

If I were prime minister I'd probably try to avoid being identified as complicit in two genocides before my second year in office was out but then I'm just a standard dickhead and not a monstrous prick with zero morals I guess.
Sir Keir Starmer has been specifically named in a UN report for complicity in Israel's genocide.

The report states that the UK government played "a key role in military collaboration with Israel... a collective crime... with detailed knowledge and cooperation in the destruction of Gaza." 🧵
