Labour’s message is clear: they are there to protect the lifestyles of billionaires.
Keir Starmer and Sadiq Khan protect the wealth of the 1%, whilst they watch everyone else struggle from their private jets.
Wealth tax. Now.

We stand with the trans community. Today’s ruling isn’t just a technicality it’s a setback for equality, legal consistency, and human dignity. Legal recognition must mean something. Equality isn’t selective. The fight continues. 6/7

Sounds like a cover up to me.
In the same way Streeting won’t acknowledge my daughter’s death, wasn’t counted in Appleby’s hatchet job DHSC report, minimising ⬆️ suicide since the Bell high court ruling (which was eventually overturned) began the slide toward the total removal of trans healthcare.

Hang on! They are holding back for years a completed report on deaths of young trans people intended to enhance suicide prevention strategies? How does that help trans people - or is the purpose of the delay to avoid political embarrassment?
Sounds to us like a cover-up.
