Starmer saying that protesters are worried for the safety of their children and not saying their kids aren’t actually at risk is disgusting. Horrible little man

Aside from the frothing racism of these people, what is really grim about this is the idea that government are powerless to change culture. If your constituents think these things *they are wrong* and you need to explain why. It's not actually your job as an MP to rubber stamp fascism.

Support your local roller derby.

Go watch trans liberated sport while you still can. Tell your kids you got to see it while it happened.

Listening to Wes talk about how trans people are unheard particularly annoyed me and I turn my irritation into shitposts unfortunately
The two panel scooby doo meme where Fred reveals the identity of the villain. The top panel has Wes streeting’s face over Fred and says “it’s really difficult to be a transgender young person in the UK. Let’s find out what’s causing that.” The lower panel features Wes as the revealed villain

United Health have hefty UK government contracts to run a whole bunch of NHS decision making trees, influencing treatment decisions & population healthcare planning, they also just recently bought the company that holds England’s GP records…& Wes Streeting shows no sign of seeing this as a problem.

Roller Derby is fucking rad. I never thought I could be in a sport team. But having the chance to play together with these glorious humans has improved my life massively. Queer people belong in sports, without exception, at every level.
