YouTube video by Ralph Magazine Ralph and Friends 03: Jordan Gray

sat down with the incredible jordan gray a couple of weeks ago and chatted ethical non-monogamy, writing real life trans people, the death threats that inspired her new edinburgh show and a ceramic chicken called maude... www.youtube.com/watch?v=9Qzw...

made a new playlist. ran a speedy 10k listening to it and cried three times along the way. great morning. 15/10.

very little joy to be had in being right about starmer but also won't apologise for pointing out that many of those who were the loudest champions of him// the harshest critiques of the left are now incredulously standing around asking wtf is going on + why noone warned them starmer was like this...

for 4 years many of us were shouting from the rooftops warning about starmer + how easily he'd throw everything + anyone under the bus to get or keep power and for 4 years, people like otto english told us we were wrong, labour'd get more left in power, that we were just tory enablers etc etc...

it is, but that aside, “What a brilliant statement by the Crab Museum” has absolutely set me off, what a stunning set of words

Two young women detained and facing deportation over 'admin error' Gang members have previously threatened the family and abducted one of the sisters

These women are my constituents. Gangs in their home country have threatened their lives.

They're detained and due to be deported next week, because of an admin error.

I've been urgently trying to get them released. The Home Office must not deport them.
