On this Trans Day of Remembrance, we remember the bright and courageous trans people whose lives were stolen by hatred. Their absence is felt across our city.
We will honor them by building a New York where every trans person can live safely, fully and freely.

I'm all for
celebrating identity,

but I cannot be alone in wishing
International Men's Day

No one should gloss over how appalling this is. A president who feels this comfortable demeaning women, and so many others, is nothing short of embarrassing and shameful.

The misconceived notion that the way to deal with the backlog of asylum claims is to duplicate the system so as to have exit assessments too.
In essence: addressing the problem of a queue by forming another queue, just as long.

Measles is an infection that spreads very easily and can cause serious complications in some people. It is preventable with the MMR vaccine. Recently, there has been a rise in cases, so it’s good to check that you and your family are up to date with your MMR vaccination: https://bit.ly/4oywoZO

It’s the most bizarre form of gaslighting that places the blame of a) Labour’s troubles and b) the prospect of a Reform government, on those who criticise/leave the Party, rather than on the policies, lack of vision and dreadful comms of the current Labour leadership.

Trump suing the BBC for harm to his reputation...?
In ten years time he'll be dating them.
If they weren't his daughter he'd be dating them.
He can grab them by the pussy.
He can pay them $130,000.
He can sexually assault them in a department store.
He can walk in on them at a beauty pageant.

Trump has one playbook:
When truth threatens him, he calls it a “hoax.”
He did it with Russia, Ukraine, COVID, the 2020 election, E. Jean Carroll, and now 20,000+ emails, “The Jeffrey Epstein Hoax”
If it’s all a hoax, why did real people suffer?

I love Wag the Dog, it’s one of my favorite movies, not least because it was made as a Clinton joke and works even better as a Bush joke. The “We are the World” dig holds up, as does Dustin Hoffman’s Robert Evans impression.
But it’s about faking a war as a distraction, not a real diversionary war.

Well as it turns out, leadership sits on Starmer’s shoulders just as uncomfortably as it did on Corbyn’s.
One fundamental difference between the two is that, whether you agreed with them or not, you knew the principles that Corbyn stood for.
Whatever the question is, Streeting isn’t the answer!
