This is the biggest rollback of LGBT rights in the history of the UK. I'm ashamed to even live here.
BREAKING 🚨
The updated EHRC Code of Practice has now been sent to the Government. The Code is just as bad as we feared.
It would mean a mandatory trans bathroom ban, and trans people's exclusion from public life. The impact would be devastating.
But politicians still have time to stop this.

The aim and effect of leaving the ECHR can only be to reduce rights protection in the UK - maybe for some immigrants, but potentially for other groups out of favour with the government of the day, and ultimately for everyone /2

You can't be anti-fascist if you're transphobic. And if you're "gender critical" then you are at the very least a collaborator, if not fash yourself, because "GC" is gender fascism. It doesn't matter how left-wing you think you are.

Haemorrhaging support every day, wrecking what would have quite an easy nice legacy, making the lives of minorities actively worse and making sure I feel anxious and depressed all the time....Sir Keir has played a blinder again!
Oh nothing, just the actual Prime Minister telling people they’re entirely correct to drive asylum seekers out of their communities

This is a UK organisation, and the petition currently stands at over 40,000. I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: the majority are supportive. The noise comes from a tiny minority.

All three parties want the votes of the same 35% of the electorate because those are the people who will vote for crackdowns, flag-fucking, means-testing, xenophobia, war, bungs from donors and stomping hard upon the sick, the poor and the left, and that is exactly what all three parties want to do.

Flippancy about snowmobiles and fur coats aside, not to mention the risks of emboldening far right misinformation, there's a lot here which is just plain cruelty. Parents can't try and save to buy a child a toy, people can't listen to audiobooks. It really is a "they should suffer" type of policy.
Considering people seeking asylum living in hotels get less than a tenner per week, and those in other accommodation get less than 50 quid, this really is performative nonsense from the Home Office. People aren't buying fur coats and snowmobiles FFS. 1/

Hard agree with @davidkr.bsky.social here. Moreover shouting at them that the flags are tainted by imperialism and colonialism (heard in Bristol), while true, hardly wins over the average bystander to our side.
