Dan Neidle called out the tax barrister helping the super rich dodge taxes that was costing us all billions every year.

Now, somehow, Dan is the one being sued.

We’re standing with him against the bullies who want to keep the rich wealthy.

We are going to see a deluge of cases brought against institutions that (I think lawfully) want to continue to adopt trans inclusive policies. We will run an accelerated process to hire an equalities lawyer to advise them and (try and) ensure trans voices in those cases.
The fight for the rights and dignities of trans people is a fight against the thin edge of fascism. It's a hill we are willing to fight and die on. If you'd like to support us with a donation dedicated to trans rights, you can do so here. I am donating £1,000. goodlawproject.org/crowdfunder/...

Breaking news - government sleight of hand over poverty figures.

Actual increase in poverty from their cuts to health related benefits is closer to 400,000 📢
DWP is using a sleight of hand in its disability benefit cuts impact assessment: Actual increase in poverty is closer to 400,000, not the 250,000 in the impact assessment.

Quick thread explaining why. 🧵1/7

🔥 Well... this is now over 88,000 signatures!

Just one final push to get it over that magic 100,000 and get a parliamentary debate? Why not!

🚨NEW 🚨

On 22 January, GB News presenter Josh Howie repeated a homophobic slur linking the LGBTQ+ community to paedophilia. This is offensive, wrong and unlawful.

Join us in writing a complaint to Ofcom to force them to take action 👇

Word of the day is one I may have mentioned (frequently): a ‘snaccident’ is the inadvertent eating of an entire packet of biscuits.

Word of day is ‘unasinous’ (17th century): united in stupidity.

A riff on ‘unanimous’: which comes from the Latin for ‘one mind’. ‘Unasinous’ means ‘one ass’.
