When any pupil goes to school, they should be able to do so safely, have appropriate toilets and changing rooms they can use, and be listened to and have their identity respected.

Fantastic from @sianberry.bsky.social!

“I believe the proposed guidance from the EHRC is currently not fit for purpose, and not suitable to be placed before MPs at all.”

Keep writing to your MPs, folk—it’s working!

Ok. They’ve pissed me off.

I’m back to tell you 3 things about ID cards:

1. Migrants ALREADY HAVE biometric ID cards & govts have been trying to digitise them for years w repeated fuckups & failures causing complete chaos - they don’t work, you do not want that system for you.
