I understand that a lot of folks have been misled by fear-mongering and powerful regressive voices but it’s still astonishing to me that so many have fallen for the idea that oppressively policing other people’s gender identity and expression could in any way be part of an enlightened future.

Please take a minute to read their letter, & share it with the people in your life who need to hear the truth about the people they are protesting.

Sure, Conservatives are right to ask why Starmer tolerated a paedophile’s friend as US ambassador but why are they not concerned about the PM hosting another pal of Epstein, one who has repeatedly lied about their relationship? And why are BBC interviewers not asking them about this?

As leaders, we must stand together and make clear Musk will face serious consequences for these actions.

Reform UK, which has a grand total of four MPs, was just given an uninterrupted platform for an hour and a half on the BBC and Sky News channels, in order to talk about its plans for mass deportations
When was the last time the Greens (with four MPs) or the Lib Dems (with 72) were given the same?

I regret to inform you that Starmer’s been tweeting dehumanising videos of migrants again.
These videos have been shown to increase support for Reform, by increasing salience of migration.
He has to go.
