Text: "POV: YOU HAVE A NET WORTH OF £30 BILLION AND LIVE IN MONACO."

Quote: A speech bubble from Ratcliffe reads, "...the UK has been colonised. It's costing too much money."

Bottom Section: A black background titled "MEANWHILE..." displaying various news-style headlines on white tilted blocks.

Headlines: These include "Billionaires see fortunes rise by 27% during the pandemic," "Energy profits cost households £500 each," and "UK public has paid £200bn to shareholders of key industries since privatisation."

You can’t fight poverty with racism.

March with us on 28 March to say: we’re sick of our neighbours being scapegoated.

It’s the billionaires to blame. Not immigrants.

'Gender Critical' is a reactionary movement that thinks transphobia is about women's rights. And they have no concept how many working class women loathe them, even as they complain about losing friends. Evidence is votes in the unions where women woke up to the GCs years ago.

BREAKING: it appears that the MHRA, in control of the UK puberty blocker trial, appointed a senior officer who had previously mocked supporters of trans rights online.

Recusal is not enough here. He and those responsible for appointing him should resign.

How can trans people trust them now?

They won't start with banning birth control. First they'll lie about it. Then dictate who can prescribe it, use it, fund it, in what forms, and for how long. Suddenly, your doctor won't call you back. I know this is what they'll do because it's what they're doing to transgender healthcare right now.

Hannah Barnes saying "it's a question for clinicians and doctors to work out." #r4today

Up to now it's been for Hannah Barnes, Newsnight, the BBC, Woman's Hour, judges and obscurely funded anti trans groups posing as feminists with suspiciously high level access to government to work out.

Reading reports that last week's dreadful shooting in Canada had been carried out by a transgender teenager, my heart sank, as I knew there were some in the media who would weaponise this tragedy against trans people in general. As I read Brenda Power's first column for your paper today, I scanned for even the smallest expression of sympathy for the families bereaved by such a senseless act, but none was forthcoming. Instead, it seems, Ms Power used the shooting as a pretext to shoehorn in as much anti-trans sentiment as her word-count would allow. Is this a taste of things to come?

We are mums. Daughters. Sisters. Survivors.

We understand what safety really means.

Our voices should never be used to justify exclusion or discrimination of trans people.

Help us support Girlguiding and the Women’s Institute to remain inclusive | Good Law Project We’re offering to defend the Women’s Institute and Girlguiding against trans exclusion

Girlduiding and Women's Institute say the law forces them to exclude trans women. But that's not true.

We are offering to indemnify them against legal risk if they change course.

If they remain trans exclusive, their members can know it's management's ideological choice.

Oh that figures - the KCSIE guidance read like it's from someone who doesn't understand safeguarding at all. And it directly contradicts NSPCC guidance.

All aggravated burglary charges have been dropped against the "Filton 24" - the Palestine Action activists who broke into Elbit in Filton and damaged Israeli drones and weapons components! I don't think it's been publicly reported yet, but I have a mate who is at the trial.

Have Bayswater been reported to NSPCC? - my experience is they tend to listen where others don't. And they have statutory powers.

Utterly extraordinary that Hilary Cass on the BBC this morning said if some young people had "taken more time" they might not have pursued medical treatments, when her own report last year found that children routinely faced multi-year waiting lists for gender services.

Labour’s Section 28 is here – act now In May 1988, the Conservative government introduced Section 28. This legal measure outlawed support for “homosexuality as a pretended family relationship” across Britain, especially in …

New post: LABOUR'S SECTION 28 IS HERE - ACT NOW.

I explain how the Labour government's proposed revisions to the guidance on "keeping children in education" are designed to erase trans children in England. But it's not a done deal - there is plenty we can do to oppose this.
