And never forget that Dame Hilary Cass belittled as "shroud wavers" those of us asking, begging, for a regime that would keep trans children alive.
One of the wickedest things Wes Streeting has ever done is push politically convenient falsehoods about suicide rates amongst young trans people. We have new data from the National Child Mortality Database that exposes the truth he tried to cover up.
New data shows surge in trans kids’ suicides following healthcare rollbacks | Good Law Project
A freedom of information request by Good Law Project has found that deaths by suicide of trans young people under 18 surged following the withdrawal of gender-affirming healthcare

Great work @carolinelucas.bsky.social on #BBCAnyQuestions exposing the devious way the PM tried in Parliament to limit the disclosure of how he dealt with the Mandelson appointment.
The extent of documents we will now see are down to MPs forcing him to give in - NOT any noble instincts from him.

#LGBTHistoryMonth The Ladies of Llangollen. If you wanted to live differently in the 18-19C it *really* helped to be upper class, but Eleanor & Sarah (& Mary) still had a lot to overcome. Still, they got there, even to the point of a pension arranged by Queen Anne.

We need a UK Digital Sovereignty Strategy!
Our over-reliance on foreign tech giants is a huge risk to our security and resilience when faced with Donald Trump’s ever increasing belligerence.
Companies like Palantir have no place in our critical digital infrastructure.

Mandelson’s malign influence runs right through the heart of this Government.
Not least in the govt’s NHS data deal with Palantir – a spy-tech firm co-founded by a man who thinks the NHS should be ‘ripped up.’
I've written to Wes Streeting urging him to ditch this dangerous deal.
