It's not enough to be pro-trans. You need to be anti-transphobic.
Absolute morons. Now it looks like Starmer is scared of Burnham. He could have very easily let Andy stand, Andy would have easily seen off any threat from Reform, and offered him the Deputy Prime Minister position. But no, let's spend the next few months on infighting and scandal. Great job, lads.

If I lived in the US I fear I'd be in jail or worse. Because you would have to kill me before I let ICE agents take anyone I loved away.

I know people keep saying this but it’s hard to communicate the depth of active resistance here. Like, I’m on random cafes and people are checking in for observation shifts. Signs everywhere. Folks in visibility vests on the corners. It’s wild. Absolutely wild.

I got in late last night. First thing this morning, I saw cars following an ice vehicle down the street, honking at it.
Later, we didn't drive more than three blocks before we found people defending a childcare facility. (The idea that people have to defend a childcare facility... let that sink in)

We have seen where appeasement to a tyrant has gotten us in the past. If we give Trump what he wants in Greenland, who amongst us is naive enough to believe that'll be the end of his wishlist? Where's next? Iceland? Svalbard? Bermuda?

So lemme get this right. Trump wants to deport thousands of people by force who want to be Americans, whilst wanting to seize control of populations who don't want to be Americans and make them Americans by force?

In a screeching u-turn from its Manifesto the Government now backs conversion therapy for trans people. That is what 'supporting' trans youth but denying them the medicine they need to physically transition means.

Safe to say Trump has just given the Iranian regime a reprieve? What's that saying? When your enemy is making a mistake, don't interrupt them?

I need Irish musical societies to stop putting on shows for which they are unable to cast for. If I see one more production of Sister Act with a white Delores from fucking Ballyfermot I'm going to kick my own head in.
