All of these BIOLOGICAL WOMEN can now legally enter Women's only spaces and have their Biologically Designated Sex fully protected. Life is complicated, NOT BINARY! Just for further clarity, I fully support women only safe places.

Then ‘gender critical’ transphobic activist-journalists drop headlines like this after years of replacing the word “people” with “ideology”….
Nobody should be surprised that trans people are upset!
TERFs barely bother with dog-whistles anymore, when talk of trans-extermination is so blatant! 😖

The way trans are being treated right now is so inhumane. This is the BBC. We are being suffocated. Has there been any news on getting to the Euro Court? @goodlawproject.bsky.social ? ❤️🏳️⚧️

“Open the door for the auld year
It is the pairtin-time
Open the door for the new year
And lat the bairn win hame.
Bundle your winter’d joy and grief
On the back o’ the year that’s dune
Open your hert for the new life
And lat the bairn come in.”

Some reasons...
1) Promised change, delivered more of the same.
2) Runs around in circles chasing a right wing vote that will never vote Labour.
3) Threw all the Socialists out of the party.
4) Pair of over-promoted charlatans who speak as though a toffee has stuck their top & bottom sets together.

Glad the FT is asking the question. Even if I’m not convinced they found a compelling answer.
I get that Starmer & Reeves are unpopular, I really don’t understand the extent of the dislike.

Immigration is a good thing. Why don’t journalists ever challenge the cowardly politicians who pretend otherwise? Why do they follow the racist narrative promoted by Reform & right wing tabloids? Here’s my take. Please watch & tell me whether you agree. youtu.be/6RaCQJ278qU

Sad to read the news about Stanley Baxter. He thought no one would love him if they knew he was gay. When he came out in his 90s he discovered a new generation loved him just as much. Here’s a wee piece I wrote for the @alloatiser Rest in peace Stanley. #ParliamoGlasgow #LGBT

No, I’m not “jubilant”. I’m merely summarising the poll. Quietly optimistic perhaps:
