I hope that you’re right that the trend is downwards. but it misses the point. Farage has worked out that under FPTP any lead will give him power, and he’s concentrating on solidifying his base. He won’t go much lower than he is, and the other parties won’t get much higher. He’s winning.
Reform's polling is ~the lowest its been since last year's local elections

I should be ashamed of myself for posting this or even thinking it, but when I see this picture my brain starts transvestigating. She passes quite well for someone who hasn’t gone to Facial Team yet.

Dr Beth Upton went to work one day to help sick people, and that is it. She's done nothing wrong (highlighted by the courts), never got involved in the media, never said a bad word about anyone, even once. And she's been hounded out of the country by bigots who hate that she exists.

The Supreme Court has fundamentally undermined the Equality Act. The judges blatantly lied about “painstakingly” reviewing the Act for inconsistencies. They did not.
The damage is so severe that only a complete rewrite of the legislation can properly restore its purpose and effectiveness.

Labour continues to troll the trans community - and to prioritise pleasing the right wing press. We know Hilary Cass was selected for her transphobic views: Kemi Badenoch told us exactly that.
So why is she running trans policy for Labour?

Trans joy is a feeling of liberation that I can walk out of my front door without having to hide who I am, or dress a certain way, or make a mental check that I conform to a gender that doesn’t belong to me. It’s freedom, pride, rightness, simplicity, happiness. Less noise in my head. 🌸

I’m so glad that I live in the German-speaking part of Europe. My identity is respected by everyone I interact with, as I go through a process of correcting my name and gender in 100 places. From many people I see admiration that I am courageous enough to go through these humiliations. Thank you all

Why do people still insist that DOGE was about saving money? It was about connecting the databases so that the Trump regime would be better able to find people to deport them or harass them. A lethal weapon in the sociopathic hands of a malevolent regime.

I said in an interview that my retained advantage was that I trained at a high level consistently since I was picked up by pro teams aged 8/9, whereas most of the other women never played more than an amateur level; elite womens teams weren't really a thing. That's where unfairness lies.
