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 me and @GoodLawProject to file a complaint to Ofcom :point_down: action.goodlawproject.org/ofcom-stop-g...

The London Library Emerging Writers programme is such a brilliant scheme. If you’re trying to write in any medium/genre, are any age over 18, are in or near London, and aren’t yet professionally published, it’s well worth applying.

You know what?

The EU & UK should put tariffs on US goods (from red states) in solidarity with Canada and Mexico.

Rather than watching others get bullied and waiting our turn - we should unify against this bullying until the bully drops that behaviour.

The @Telegraph, @thetimes, @MailOnline & @TheSun publish corrections to their scaremongering on undocumented migrants in London.

Imagine between them the reach & power of these papers.
The fact is they are using that power to instil Trumpist hate & we are ill-equipped to resist.

Great article on why we should give Rachel Reeve’s plan for growth a chance & not listen to the politicians, media commentators & economists who are doing nothing but tearing it apart.

Intelligence officials are starting to leak to me now too. Here’s a memo Defense Intelligence Agency personnel received instructing them to suspend observances including:
- Holocaust Remembrance Day
- MLK Day
- Juneteenth

UK folks, please consider and sign.

Fixed It.

UPDATE: The Trump admin has expanded systems showing if a person applying for a passport renewal has EVER had a passport with a different gender marker. Trans people should avoid even routine passport renewals until there is more clarity about the updated policies.

‘Sorry, I don’t have time to explain that I didn’t do a Nazi salute - I’m too busy speaking at a German far-right rally’.

🔴Twenty More Government Reforms the Media Hasn’t Been Telling You About

You probably won’t have read much about these announcements over the past few weeks

Julie Gray, wife of Holocaust survivor Gidon Lev, who joined Musk in his visit to Auschwitz speaks out. She says that Musk felt nothing during the tour & only "cared about how he looked."

She shared this with me privately shortly after the tour, and I'm grateful she made her thoughts public.

We are currently the most signed petition this morning, so are appearing on the home page!

Keep it up people. Thanks to those who have signed so far and shared. Let's fight for that improved media regulation!

Nazi salutes, rollback of LGBTQ rights, withdrawal from the climate agreement and the WHO, troops to the southern border, pardons for rioters. Rolling Stone has got it right. I feel sick.

Can someone with more know-how than me tell me that Starmer's got something going on behind the scenes to stop Mu5k's attempts to coopt our government??

HBO waiting until they saw the culture had shifted to more overt transphobia to overtly stand behind JK Rowling AND doing it on Trans Day of Remembrance showcases how cruel and cowardly they are.
