If memory serves, that means this was the largest mass lobby event in Parliamentary history, surpassing the mass lobby against Section 28 in 1988.
Post event numbers are out
Over 900 people went to meet their MPs today.

Sacre Bleu! According to the BBC absolutely nothing happened in Westminster hall today, hundreds of Trans people definitely did not undertake a mass lobby and MPs certainly didn't hear from their constituents about why the EHRC is a liability. Meanwhile in France... www.france24.com/en/live-news...
Trans campaigners descend on UK parliament to protest 'bathroom ban'

So let me get this straight: Trump rose to prominence by claiming Obama was a Muslim born in East Africa, and now the next mayor of his hometown is set to be a Muslim man born in East Africa? That, friends, is poetic justice.

I’ve been working on creating a term for all the governmental groups like the Cass Review, the EHRC, the Supreme Court, the Levy Review etc.

im sorry but im so angry that ppl don't see the connect between this and them watering down the safeguards in the assisted dying bill.
I’ve been making my way through the Welfare Reform Bill and this paragraph on the gov.uk website is genuinely disgusting.
Receiving a decent disability benefits rate “encourages sickness”, does it? Funny, I thought it just enabled severely ill and disabled people to eat.

The public was 100% ready for trans rights just a few years ago.
What we’re seeing now is a massive shift in public opinion after a coordinated and expensive propaganda blitz, one that Dems happily ignored.
Trans rights aren’t new. We had them for years and everything was cool.

The United States is doing every single step one would need to do for a soft genocide.
And this congresswoman goes "maybe the public just isn't ready for trans rights, we have to consider that"
NO.

Former independent Manchester mayoral candidate Nick Buckley MBE has been stoking up anti-migrant feeling and almost encouraging the violence we've seen in Northern Ireland. His use of the word "troubles" is insensitive and inflammatory. His suggestion migrants "go home" recalls the NF of the 70s.

All of the QTs are correct that this is bollocks but it’s also important to remember that this weather objectively causes hundreds of excess death every time it happens. Clearly it is hot because it is an actual threat to life in this environment.
as a "bloody forrener" to these lands, the term:
"dangerous 32°C days"
give me a wry smile.
1. that's not hot.
2. unless you upright monkeys stop poisoning your planet, 32 degrees will be relatively pleasant sometime in the near future.

In dry heat we'd all be fine with this. But this isn't dry, it's absurdly high humidity. Britain has hundreds of miles of scattered remnants of ancient native rainforest which used to reduce our humidity before the land enclosure. It's a ragged temperate island ecosystem, not a holiday in Andalucia.
