Lib dems: playing 5D Chess with the transphobes - static in the polls
Greens: telling the transphobes in no uncertain terms they're not welcome - overtaking us.
There's a lesson there. I'm sceptical our leadership will learn it.

UK's Labour Party abandoned transgender people. The gambit to pursue rightwing voters by abandoning a targeted minority failed, and now they're facing the prospect of a historic loss.
US Dems could learn a lot from their failure.
Great piece from S. Baum.

I refuse to believe that a government mandated digital ID scheme would not be used to detransition and dehumanise people like me in the current climate.
It is vital that we all stand against it.
I hope there is a backlash and Keir Starmer is forced out of office for this.
Who voted for it???

Getting to know @chrisn.xyz properly was one of my highlights of conference.
She soooo deserves that award and I’m glad the party has responded unequivocally.
I long for the day when this sort of thing is not controversial and we can all just get on with doing the jobs we were elected us to do! 🏳️⚧️🔶

The Express asked us about awarding the Patsy Carlton Prize to Cllr Chris Northwood. We responded:
"This prize acknowledged an exceptional woman in Cllr Chris Northwood. The message it sends to women members and voters is that the Liberal Democrats honour and value all of our women members."

“awful people don’t deserve to be killed, but they don’t deserve to be praised, either” is apparently a thought too complex for the pundit mind

Please read and share - this is looming scarily large at the moment still.
It's very telling what happens to the comment whenever I write on this subject. Every other week, the comments in my substack are witty, funny and kind. On this topic, they're bitter, vicious, demented.

It was a great honour to represent the County Council at the VJ Day commemoration in Cambridge earlier this morning- marking 80 years since the end of the 2nd World War.
Joining city colleague Bob Illingworth and others, I was there in my capacity as the Military Covenant Rep on the council.

So I called someone who was abusing a trans lady for using the women’s toilets an idiot (for failing to understand that trans women are women) on TikTok and I’m the one who gets moderated… FML. 🤦🏻♀️

Saw an uncredited post on fb that got eaten by a refresh saying that JK shouldn't be categorized as simply a problematic artist. That she's more like Musk: a radicalized person with extreme wealth using said wealth to influence the government to target and harm a marginalized group. Helpful framing.

Yesterday I had the privilege of witnessing a citizenship ceremony at the county council. There were so many smiling faces - all proud to be joining British society.
Kier Starmer saying that migration, legal migration, has turned us into an ‘island of strangers’ is both disturbing and disgraceful.

Important thread.
It is so so wrong to promise hope and change and then simply carry on as before…
No wonder people are getting disillusioned and turning to the extremes for answers.

Labour might wonder why, less than a year into a new government promising “change”, people are giving up on it in droves. So let me help it out with a few clues.
1. Cutting disability benefits
2. Freezing Local Housing Allowance.
3. Maintaining the cruel, Malthusian two-child benefit cap ....

My warmest congratulations to Mark Carney.
Voters in Canada have elected a Liberal government on a mandate to combat Trump's dangerous populism. Across the globe, it is liberals who are taking the lead in standing up for prosperity, security and democracy in the face of Trump, Putin and the rest.
