The Supreme Court sided with FWS.

But it didn’t hear from a single trans person.
This ruling sets a dangerous precedent and erases trans women from protections. It puts trans rights back 20 years.

We won't stop fighting for trans rights 🏳️‍⚧️

Beautiful day for a tour of the Lyde Green Secondary School 🏫

Lovely morning at Grimsbury Farm with Cllr. Sean Rhodes.
Lots of local residents happy to be involved with future community conversations to ensure the farm’s financial sustainability.
Lovely weather for the ducks! 🌧️🦆

No-one risks their life in the Channel in a flimsy boat unless they have no choice.

Labour’s cruel move to block refugees from citizenship — bypassing Parliament — shows a dangerous rightward shift, ditching human rights & international law.

It must be reversed.

Rachel Reeves looks to have been a bit silly but for journalists of a certain age to profess outrage at creative expenses claims turns hypocrisy in to an art form. When I started out, one legendary character was reputed to have put a son through Eton via bogus receipts. But my favourite story...

There will be lion dancing, Hong Kong snacks and a range of games and craft activities.

The world’s richest man & insecure nepo-baby shouldn’t be allowed to dictate UK politics.

Yet some politicians act like sycophants & his unhinged outbursts dominate news, while our democracy is serially undermined.

We must break the super-rich’s grip on our media & politics.

Funny how all the men outraged about grooming gangs are silent about Dominique Pelicot, Conor McGregor, Donald Trump, Harvey Weinstein, Prince Andrew or Johnny Depp. Almost as if they’re just co-opting the rape and abuse of women to be racist isn’t it?

South Glos full council meeting under way tonight.

⚠️ I'm about to go tie down my trampoline! Stay safe, everyone.

The International Criminal Court has issued arrest warrants for Netanyahu & Gallant for war crimes & crimes against humanity.
