Myself, @timgoodall.bsky.social and the Headingley Greens out earlier this week to litter pick Sparrow Park and surrounding areas. Lots of positive response from the community. #litterfreeleeds

The medical trials for puberty blockers will be as drawn out as possible because the results will show what a morally reprehensible decision this is.

P.S. If they thought puberty blockers were actually harmful, they wouldn't keep giving them to cis kids.

Conceding the argument on Immigration only makes Reform stronger. We saw this when Democrats became in favour of the wall they were so strongly against previously
BREAKING:

“Policies were reformed deliberately to liberalise immigration. Brexit was used for that purpose, to turn Britain into a one nation experiment in open borders”

This ban will not work, because kids will not accept losing their ability to connect with people. We should instead be removing Nazi content online to make it safer for all.
BREAKING: Australia has barred everyone under 16

Good luck with that.

What don't they understand? we are happy to argue about policy but we do not accept violence, harassment or bigotry as part of that.

To suppress the voices of homeless LGBTIQA+ people is absolutely unforgivable.
The UK government commissioned a report into LGBT+ experiences of homelessness circa 2017 and then suppressed its release until September this year.

Running two miles Bramhope to Adel to catch the 24 because my bus was cancelled and the next one is late and I don't want to miss my movie starting. The 25/26 bus route in Leeds is unusable

I don't think they will. They absolutely refuse to make the right decision even when it's blindingly obvious. We have seen this in water, energy, trans healthcare and foreign policy.
The ICC’s arrest warrants are long overdue.

The Prime Minister & Foreign Secretary must immediately endorse this decision. That is the bare minimum.

Will the UK government now, finally, honour its international obligations to prevent genocide and end all arms sales to Israel?

The delay in this report indicates there was a hostile environment towards LGBTQ+ people after May's government. No other reason why not to publish it.

Lots in this that will help us better understand the needs of LGBTQ+ people regarding homelessness.

We can empathise with her struggle, but we must never concede ground to fascists. If she accepts this, they will next change dressing rules to make her wear masculine clothing, and then they will make force her to have short hair.

Reminder that today, on Trans Day of Remembrance, the UK Government reaffirmed their use of Section 35 to block the Gender Recoginition Bill that had democratically overwhelmingly passed through Holyrood. No wonder they kept quiet today

On Transgender Day of Remembrance I am thinking of the trans friends and acquaintances I have lost and reassert my commitment to fight like hell for those who are still here!

Neither has the Labour Party but I guess it would be ironic considering their platform
Despite covering trans people relentlessly, no paper mentioned that today is Trans Day of Remembrance.

We have a government that takes away life saving trans healthcare. That allows its MPs and Councillors to abuse trans people online. The list of those who have lost their lives to anti trans violence will continue to grow whilst the Labour Party stays in Power.
Today, on Trans Day of Remembrance, we honour the lives of trans and non binary people lost to violence, discrimination, and hate.

We must continue to build a world where all trans people can live with safety, dignity, and pride.

You matter. You are loved.

Today, we remember the victims of anti trans violence. The best way we can honour them is our commitment to always stand with the trans community.

We will fight against all forms of transphobia wherever and whenever it rears its ugly head.

It’s alarming that rhetoric that fuels transphobia is still rife within our society and politics.

The Green Party fully stands by transgender people and supports their rights.

Important quote amidst this "farms tax" debacle:

'Paul Johnson, the director of the Institute for Fiscal Studies (IFS), an independent economy think-tank, told Sky News: "The changes will affect a remarkably small number of some of the most valuable farms."'

...

How many farms would be affected by Budget changes?
Estimates of the number of farms affected range from 100 to 70,000.

LGBTIQA+ venues are the heart of London's queer culture — spaces for expression, community, and safety.

Preserving them means protecting history, fostering inclusion, and ensuring future generations have places to be themselves. 🏳️‍🌈

We need to constantly remind the government and the people of this country the immeasurable harm leaving the EU has done.

The Green party is the only England and Wales major Party that has committed to rejoin the EU Now.
