Transgender rights are human rights.

This International Day of Transgender Visibility, Amnesty Feminists remind us that transgender existence is not up for debate.

We must support the transgender community and demand an end to transgender hate crimes.

hello everyone!

I’ve been asked by some followers to put together a starter pack of queer football fans to make it easier for us to find each other, so comment if you’d like to be in it and I’ll get it started

I moved here to avoid the toxic spew of various morons and to enjoy some fresh air. I’d enjoy it more if people could refrain from posting screen-grabs of said morons’ tweets. Can’t you leave it behind?

Co-operators are working across Parliament to deliver on priorities like ending violence against shop workers, doubling the size of the co-operator sector, community ownership and energy.

Our biggest group of MPs, and all keen to make a difference. 🐝

I’m very excited to be at the House of Commons for an event.
Saw a woman, also a visitor, like me. She looks bloody fabulous. So I told her.

Women support women. 💗

Today, on the International Day for the Elimination of Violence Against Women, we stand firm against misogyny in all its forms.

We must support survivors, tackle gender-based hatred wherever it arises, and commit to finally ending this epidemic of abuse.

We need to set up the next generation with a knowledge of co-operatives so they can build the stronger, fairer, and greener economy of the future.

Gareth Snell MP makes the case for co-operatives on the curriculum.
