Socialism is what they called public power.

Socialism is what they called social security.

Socialism is what they called the growth of free and independent labor organizations.

Socialism is their name for almost anything that helps all the people.

You know the climate change 💩 is hitting the fan when it's November, you're in Scotland, it's drizzling, and the coat you're wearing is making you feel quite over-heated 🫤

Our SEND system is broken and it's failing children and their families. They deserve better - their voices must be heard by government.

Today I joined the #EveryPairTellsAStory demo in Bristol. Each pair of shoes represents a child who has been failed by the SEND system.

Social Democracy and Democratic Socialism are not the same thing:
Social Democracy seeks to regulate capitalism according to socialist values and sentiment, whereas Democratic Socialism seeks capitalism's abolition while retaining a political democracy

Poverty can be abolished. It exists because the powers that be allow it to exist
Almost 100% of children in 73 neighbourhoods in England are living in income-deprived families.

Labour could choose to lift hundreds of thousands of children out of poverty immediately by scrapping the two-child benefit cap.

Child poverty is a political choice.

We are already helping several employees sue employers for enforcing the EHRC Interim Guidance, which *we think* is unlawful. Should the High Court agree, we plan to make available in generic form, for free, and in a usable state, all the legal materials a trans employee needs to sue their employer.
I'd venture politely to suggest that if the EHRC had done its job and written a code that was about the law rather the pursuit of an anti-trans ideological agenda duty bearers would be better able to do what she urges upon them.

🚨We need your help. The NHS CYP gender service is consulting on the draft specification and it closes on Sunday. This is, sadly horrifically being driven by non experts in the field of gender incongruence and based upon the much-discredited Cass Review 1/

There should be safe routes into this country for people who are in danger back home. Our asylum process is cruel & forces people to do dangerous things to get here
For the vast majority of people (except Ukrainians and Hongkongers) there is NO WAY to claim asylum in the UK without coming by small boat

The only way to stop people making dangerous boat crossings to the UK is by creating safe and managed routes

Govt's plan is delusional

Important.
@transactualuk.bsky.social have released a new report about the harm caused by the Supreme Court misjudgement & the EHRC's interpretation of it.

It shows how the ruling & interpretation is also harming cis women. Those it was supposed to "protect".

When I was an LP member I heard condemnation of parties for standing in elections multiple times. They'd tell other parties to stand down for a clear shot against a Tory, without offer of reciprocity if another party had a higher chance. Labour must stand down to avoid splitting the anti-reform vote
Time for Labour to stand down to stop splitting the anti-Reform vote?
