It’s the Government’s duty to protect all communities - including trans people.

They’re failing to do that.

Trans people deserve safety and dignity.

The Guardian editorial today reflects the reality for millions.

Bills soaring.
Wages stagnant.
People pushed to the brink.

We don’t have to accept this.

It’s time to do things differently.

Labour’s vote is collapsing everywhere.

In Peterborough last night, as in Gorton and Denton, voting Green is the only way to stop Reform.
Fletton & Woodston (Peterborough) Council By-Election Result:

➡️ RFM: 29.4% (New)
🌍 GRN: 27.6% (+16.2)
🌳 CON: 21.8% (-11.8)
🌹 LAB: 16.8% (-31.2)
🔶 LDM: 4.4% (-0.7)

No TUSC (-1.9) as previous.

Reform GAIN from Labour.

The answer is simple:

it is isn’t just politicians, but the UK billionaire owned media who are far more comfortable having a “debate” about just how racist we should be, than they are probing into the corrupt money & dirty relationships that run our politics.
