Today is Trans Day of Remembrance.
Today we remember and grieve all those we have lost. But we also commit – collectively – to fighting for those of us who are left. There will be hope as long as we continue to stand together.

Reform UK would:
Leave ECHR (join Russia and Belarus).
Repeal the UK Human Rights Act.
Disapply the 1951 Refugee convention. UN Convention Against Torture. the Council of Europe Anti-Trafficking Convention.
Cancel the Good Friday Agreement.
No one will be safe.

A complete waste of taxpayers money. Millions struggle with cost of living, foodbanks at breakingpoint, UK children starving. Meanwhile, King Charles and the other royal parasites stand on a balcony watching military aircraft fly over London for no reason. #TroopingTheColour

If the Government doesn’t introduce a higher Carer’s Minimum Wage AND get on with reforming social care this year, both their plans for social care and immigration will fall apart.
Our country deserves a comprehensive plan to fix social care - not half-baked proposals.

By focusing on immigration and the Reform UK agenda, Labour effectively vindicate the belief that migrants are the reason they aren't better off, with better public services. They are creating more Reform UK voters.
It's morally wrong and politically suicidal.

Hey British media,
It’s no surprise that if you give Farage the run of the place, he’ll start winning.
Time to do your actual jobs and start interrogating him on his Brexit shitshow, his funding, his Trumpiness, his idiotic manifesto, his real plans for the NHS… instead of drumrolling him into No.10

Canadian and Australian right wing leaders both lose their seats within weeks.
Meanwhile UK Labour thinks going to the right is the way to win, even though the right reject them and the left are alienated by them.
Read the f*ing room.
More importantly, feel the threat from progressive voters.

Britain is now a multi-party democracy. Our voting system can't handle it.
Only about a fifth of councils are being won on over 50% of the vote. Some are being won on under 30%.
Our options are clear: accept minority rule as the norm or change the voting system. We know what we prefer.
