BBC News. Ex-leader of Reform UK in Wales sentences to 10-and-a-half years for taking pro-Russia bribes.

The former Reform leader received up to £40,000 to help pro-Russian politicians in Ukraine.

Reform's former leader in Wales has been jailed for 10yrs for taking Russian bribes.

This shower of absolute chancers prey on people's justified anger. The only way to counter that is by giving hope that another world is possible, one where everyone can afford to get by.

The way this Govenrment are treating some of the most vulnerable people in the world is disgusting.

And they the audacity to pretend it's coming from a place of compassion and concern.

Their only actual concern seems to be dancing to the tune of the far right rather than tackle inequality.

Trans people exist. Billionaires Shouldn't. Scottish Greens.

trans people exist.
billionaires shouldn't.

The BBC must stop attacking trans people | Good Law Project The right wing accusations of ‘pro-trans’ bias are back to front. It’s time for the BBC to live up to its duty to be impartial on trans issues.

The BBC, quite consciously, sets out to demean and belittle trans people. This is both morally contemptible and in breach of its Charter obligations. We've made it super easy for you to write to the BBC and tell it to stop.

Row over definition of ‘gender’ hangs over Cop30 plans to support women Advocates say conservative states’ push to define gender as ‘biological sex’ would backslide on decade-old language within the UN

More evidence that the "gender-critical" transphobes are working with fascists including Russia, Iran & Saudi Arabia. All countries where women are treated very badly.

"Gender-criticals" are not feminists & they do not "protect women"

They are trying to hold the COP 30 to ransom to be transphobic

A reminder that this anti-trans panic is 100% bullshit and exactly none of our country’s problems are related to someone expressing their gender identity and everyone who isn’t a hate-filled weirdo knows it.

Ok, Bluesky fam, I just realized I’ve been remiss in keeping you guys over here informed of my goings-on.
So…THIS is happening TONIGHT@ 5 pacific!

The leadership of @scottishgreens.org needs to take a long, hard look at their priorities
I was within an inch of joining but thought I'd wait and see how the new leadership played out
Glad I did
Only wish we had @zackpolanski.bsky.social up here

Sophie Molly with a broad smile followed by a hilariously apt query by Gail Simone. "Why is female joy so terrifying to weirdos and losers?"

I love moments when my bluesky feed lines up 😊 @sophiemolly.co.uk radiates happiness and that really seems to wind some folk up 🤣 Keep smiling 😁😉

That was the most brutal elimination I've ever seen! I didn't want any of them to go! 😭

What happens when a minority is forced to fight for its very existence?

Here's a lesson from history that the gender crits would do well to heed.

Thank you to the guy whose main focus is CDs and beers

When we have the highest levels of child poverty and homelessness in decades- When we're seeing a global rise in fascism and far-right ideologies- THIS is what you focus on!?!
Its clear the Scottish Greens rise in members is a protest movement and not based on policies if this is your priority!

Scottish football is underpinned by sectarianism, misogyny and homophobia and, I assure you, is fundamentally not "meant for everyone"!
Stop pushing personal agendas, get out there and start talking to voters who, I assure you, have far bigger priorities!

Scottish Greens 'increasingly confident' they can beat Labour Scottish Greens recently announced that membership is on track to reach a new record high by next year’s Holyrood election.

Green membership numbers are surging. So is our polling.

In comparison, Labour are in freefall.

I adore @jaykaybk.bsky.social so much 🥰 This scene had me howling!!! 🤣🤣🤣

An autoethnographic critique of a past report of inpatient psychiatric treatment for gender diverse children Contrary to ongoing representations of efficacy, “therapy” that aimed to change or suppress a gender diverse child served to delay self-acceptance for two decades and caused long term harm 

An incredible article casting serious doubt on claims made by transphobes, about conversion therapy for trans kids. The 1987 publication upon which their claims are based, is thoroughly discredited, it cannot justify the claims it makes.

Chapeau: @fiercemum.bsky.social

TW: Conversion therapy

There are now TWELVE (possibly 13...) peer-reviewed critiques of the Cass Review.

I have listed them all on my blog, now updated with links to all of them. Trying to keep it as up-to-date as possible.

'The guys who run Reform are absolute chancers.

The people who make our lives more difficult arrive in private jets, not dinghies.'

So this guy says one way to stop doomscrolling is to choose to do something creative when we feel the urge to reach for our feeds or whatever.

I just spent four hours doing creative things, and I even got a blog out of it. I feel satisfaction and mild enthusiasm instead of the usual despair. Yay!

Daily Record. 'Hike holiday homes council tax to tackle Scotland's homelessness crisis' say Greens. Figures last week showed a record number of households living in temporary housing including 10,180 children.

We have 10,000 homeless children in Scotland, but over twice as many holiday homes and over four times as many empty homes. This is a housing crisis we can solve.

Tomorrow MSPs will debate our proposal to set higher tax rates for properties which sit empty for most of the year.

Tax second and empty homes to tackle homelessness, say Scottish Greens HIKING taxes on second and empty homes can help to tackle Scotland’s homelessness crisis, Scottish Greens co-leader Ross Greer said today.Mr Ross is moving an amendment on the Housing Bill this week t...

Ten thousand children in Scotland are homeless, but there are
far, far more than ten thousand holiday and empty homes. This is a housing crisis we can solve.
