It cannot be made clearer.

If you continue to support the Harry Potter franchise in any way, you are directly funding the removal of trans people's human rights in the UK.

Important reminder to make sure you are not contributing to Labour Link if you're a Unison member. It's a pain to stop contributing if you are (sending forms to your branch etc) but it's worth it.
UNISON has chosen to back Bridget Phillipson to become deputy leader of the Labour Party

Just for perspective, a few weeks ago roughly 100,000 turned up for the London Trans+ Pride march. By contrast fewer than 3,000 ACROSS THE WHOLE COUNTRY, have turned up to anti-asylum "protests". Yet we are meant to take the latter as "the voice of the people" and the former as "the minority".

Guess what?
The story about the trans M&S employee and the bra fitting is a pack of lies and distortions.

💰 How much public wealth do you think was given away for free via Right to Buy? 

1bn? 10bn? 100bn? 

Try 200 BILLION pounds.

🏳‍⚧ 100,000 people marched at London Trans+ Pride yesterday - but the BBC, Times, Telegraph & Daily Mail ignored it completely.

These outlets publish dozens of anti-trans stories a week. But when trans people show joy, pride, and solidarity?

🦗 Silence.

Labour forcing its ideological ally into the Equality and Human Rights Commission, contrary to the wishes of two parliamentary committees, even though doing so undermines public trust and its independence, speaks eloquently of how little Labour values equality and human rights.

when you, years out from an election, say "i will vote for that triangulating shitbag throwing minorities under the bus because they'll still be better than the other guy" you need to understand that the triangulating shitbag is Watching You: "they'll still vote for me! no need to change course!"
