Ok so the by-election in Gorton and Denton is now a two-way fight between:
💚 a working class life-long resident of the area who is a self-employed plumber,
🤦 a polytechnic Jordan Peterson who lives 170 miles away.

This isn’t just a fight for Gorton & Denton. It isn’t even just a fight between Greens and Reform.
It’s an ideological fight between a millionaire-backed, cynical power grab Vs community organising, collective power and a much needed revitalisation of what democracy should be.

The Council of Europe did not vote to ban conversion therapy…
…according UK mainstream media. It didn’t happen, nothing happened. A bit like Las Vegas, what happens in the COE stays in the COE, according to MSM.
I suspect this would have been different had the COE voted the other way.

Anyone who thinks the trans panic is about protecting women hasn't been paying attention.
My insurance company just sent me a letter saying they will stop covering two of my prescriptions because they are ‘not medically necessary’. Which ones?
1. My testosterone, because I am not a man
2. My menopause meds for hot flashes because, after all, women should just deal with it.

This has now gone beyond selection bias. The media is now in the realm of extreme cis-supremacy…
When those who hate trans people win - or pretend to win, cf Sandie Peggie - it's all over the media, even if it's just a tribunal decision. But when they lose, even in the Court of Appeal, it's absolute bloody tumbleweed. So here's our blog about Allison Bailey latest loss. goodlaw.social/3uyd

Yesterday I spoke with the Mayor of London about the experience of a disabled constituent when stations that should be step free are not (lifts out or missing mini ramp or trains out of service).
My constituent had a good idea to help and the Mayor agreed.

Labour politicians disgracefully defended it for far too long.

Politics is in a vibes era. Nigel Farage and Zack Polanski are proof of that. But maybe Keir Starmer can take positivity from Ruben Amorim.

it is not that poor people don’t know that cooking is cheaper:
cooking costs time. it costs pots and pans. it costs a working stove and your utilities on. it costs you’ve been on your feet all day and your babies are tired.
