On responding to far right parties … from Angela Merkel’s autobiography. It should be read by U.K. political leaders but I’d be surprised if it was.

We can play football with a nation engaged in genocide. But we can't play football against trans people who have done nothing wrong. The Football Association is a disgrace.
1/ Today on the 1st day of pride month and the day before Emily’s birthday the FA ban on trans women in football starts.
This ban has broken my daughter in a way I didn’t think she could break. The pain and sorrow she felt at the end of her last game was soul destroying to witness.

Labour MP Dawn Butler calls on the Government to impose a wealth tax of 2% on assets over 10 million, rather than cutting benefits.
"That's a better way to bring money in to help fill the black hole that we found ourselves in," she says.

Everyday I read these updates from @stopfundinghate.bsky.social and HOPE that a company I use or buy from doesn't appear on the list. It's been going well so far (I've never heard of most of these companies but they certainly wouldn't get my patronage now), long may it continue.

Appeal Court *very slightly* reduces sentences on some of the 16 peaceful climate protesters, jailed for total of 41 years. This isn’t justice. People desperate for climate action to save lives treated like organised criminals, while big oil & gas get away with ecocide @defendourjuries.bsky.social
