Yesterday marked 8 years since the late Sarah Hegazi raised the rainbow flag at a Mashrou' Leila concert in a moment of uncalculated joy so threatening to Egyptian authorities that they arrested, tortured, prosecuted her, and sent her to exile.
Sarah in my heart today. ๐

Graphic with the headline โLondon is the greatest city in the worldโ set against a bright view of the River Thames with the Shard, Tower Bridge and the city skyline.
The text celebrates what makes London special: regularly voted the number one city in the world, incredible diversity with over 300 languages spoken, world-class transport, world leader in finance tech and life sciences, best museums and galleries many free to visit, world-leading nightlife, food sport and music for every taste, host to the worldโs best sporting events, home to seven Premier League clubs, globally-ranked universities, a city where you can be yourself and love who you love, and a place for everyone.
Iโve said it once, Iโll say it again.

Keir Starmer to launch progressive fightback against โdecline and divisionโ fuelled by far right
Prime minister expected to warn UK is โat a crossroadsโ as he sets out plan to counter Nigel Farage and Reform
A year on since we have been raising the alarm. We have been shouting Labour canโt out reform Reform and with the far right rising I have seen my communities divided and this is what we have now. I hope this โprogressive fight backโ is not too little too late.

Tooley's the guy that, if you reconstructed the public timeline of events, was previously removed from his position after he (almost definitely) threatened his ex-wife with a weapon, then the police immediately searched his house and found an unregistered weapon in his bedside table.

I wish Iโd seen more people like me when I was at school, people saying itโs okay to be different. I know many of you in that room probably felt the same way I did, all those years ago. Just know: you are not alone.

Sexist and transphobic abuse is escalating. This is what happens when you create a political culture obsessed with policing peopleโs sex.
