Today, on Transgender Day of Remembrance, we remember the transgender lives lost to violence.

The Green Party stands shoulder to shoulder with transgender people in the face of increasing transphobic rhetoric in our society and politics.

Reform UK has presented their latest plan for the UK - and I’m afraid the crayons were working overtime.

£25bn of imaginary savings, treaty breaches, punishment rhetoric and a health calculation method that made me roll my eyes so hard I nearly lost consciousness.

So, nothing new, really.
Reform UK Unveils Budget Written Entirely in Crayon
£25bn of imagined savings, real-world cruelty and mathematics that should come with a trigger warning.

Humanity is being destroyed by the few, very few, people (not human by definition) holding all the wealth. When there is a threat to our existence then shouldn't we be controlling the risk to the many? Like insecticides, germicides that threaten life?

When Stephen Yaxley-Lennon (aka. Tommy Robinson, aka. Tiny-Tommeh-Ten-Names) treats your policy announcement as a win, you must realise that things have gone sideways in a pretty significant way? Or is that just me?

Why is Labour doing this?
The Hostile Environment 2.0 Patch Update
Labour’s asylum policy proves they fear the far-right more than they trust their own values.

Westminster tells you that you are too small and too stupid to make it on your own.
(Maybe Westminster has a point about the stupid part as many Scots seem to believe them).

At some point we have to stop pretending that Labour’s constant rightward drift is “grown-up politics” and call it out for what it is - governing by flinch.

And if pointing this out gets me into trouble - then trouble can pull up a chair.
An Island of Strangers, Led by a Party of Strangers
A Labour government with a historic majority has somehow decided the best way to beat the far right is to imitate its homework. Badly.
