Recommendations for Cologne, Prague and Vienna please!

I’m also spending an afternoon in Salzburg before going to the market town my Großmutti grew up in. I haven’t been to Austria since Covid, so I’m buzzing for this summer🫶🏻

It’s worth following Lee for his tracking of this (and generally). If you don’t spend a lot of time flicking through physical papers it may astonish you just how many anti-trans stories they print, and how weak the spin on many of them is. It’s a relentless moral panic.
The Mail, Telegraph, Times and Guardian/Observer published 1,079 articles attacking trans people over the course of 365 days, April to April. They printed 79 the week of the court ruling.

This is the level they've been at for some time.

Statement from us on today's ruling:

"As LGBT+ Liberal Democrats... we don't think Britain is the sort of country where people should have to show their 'papers, please' in order to use the loo. ...we do not support efforts to legislate in ignorance to enforce conformity."

At #NEU2025 delegates voted to ramp up the union's opposition to the far right.

Education needs to be at the fore front of countering the racist, anti-immigrant rhetoric pedaled by parties like Reform.

Fantastic to hear from Nadia Whittome MP at the @neueastmidlands.bsky.social ITT/ECT conference!

“When education is under funded, undermined and even attacked, the ripple effect goes wider than schools […] we must remain vigilant”

“None of these things were gifted to us, they were fought for”

Officers of the Leicestershire branch spent Saturday morning phoning reps to offer support for the pay ballot! Great to chat to so many engaged reps in Leicestershire!

Made the mistake of redownloading a dating app and a guy ended our conversation because I said I’m staying with my grandparents this weekend…

Are men okay?
