Well, that about sums up the Your Party executive stance on trans rights, I'd say.
So sorry Erin had to be told off like that for calling a spade a spade and a transphobe a transphobe.

Your Party didn't ask you to reject the evidence of your ears and eyes; they just went ahead and cut the feed.
Your Party just cut off the live feed because a speaker raised that the conference organisers had ignored popular motions and instead stacked the agenda with admin votes.

So, I just looked at the amendments to be voted on at the Your Party conference.
There is no vote on their policy on trans rights.
In fact, there are no real policy motions at all.
All the votes are on administrative, constitutional, or messaging matters.
This is show democracy. It's a scam.

With the almost total rollback of trans rights we have seen this year in the UK, it is right & refreshing to see that the leader of the Green Party speaking at this.
We need far more of this, across the political spectrum.

And that is the problem. When the police actively avoid considering the morality of their actions, so that they can mindlessly follow orders, this is how evil happens.

Far-right minister defends killing of two men in Jenin, saying ‘terrorists must die’
Video of an Israeli military raid in Jenin shows soldiers summarily executing two Palestinians they had detained seconds earlier.
The shooting on Thursday evening, which was also witnessed by journalists close to the scene, is under justice ministry review, but has already been defended by Israel’s far-right minister Itamar Ben-Gvir, who declared: “terrorists must die”. Continue reading...

I'm sorry, Lammy wants to do whaaaaaat?
Sorry, what now? Personally I tend to think this government suggesting scrapping the right to appeal is potentially an even bigger issue with Lammy's reported proposals than the idiotic idea of getting rid of juries. This would be dangerous territory. #r4today
