Good that this motion was defeated. Scottish Labour leadership should never have rowed back on trans rights in the first place.

Trans rights are under attack in the US. From Trump’s bans to rising anti-trans rhetoric, the fight is fierce but so are we. Stay visible. Stay loud. Refuse erasure. Together, we amplify our voices and defend our right to exist. The future is ours to shape don’t give up! #TransRightsAreHumanRights

Fireworks Bill Second Reading | Sarah Owen MP

I am very pleased that, even if briefly, my Fireworks Bill was given time in the House of Commons for discussion today.

It was particularly good to hear from colleagues across the country who support my Bill on the issues they have in their own constituencies. πŸŽ‡

The campaign continues!

Now, you are trying to suggest one set of people are more superior. People are not more superior to each other on beliefs or religion. Equally championing genocide for the sake of wanting to steal the land is wrong also

Israel occupies Palestinian land. Palestinians have a right to self determination and be a sovereign nation, just like Israel. Not hard to grasp is it?

Israel practices apartheid, kills UN workers and journalists.

International law should apply to everyone equally.

Not sure why anyone is surprised about Meta. Check the tucked away support inbox for an overview of what action they took re: your reports about posts, content and accounts. They've quietly closed every report with no action for years. Musk just made the mistake of publicly announcing it.

Thanks to the action of those supporting Morrisons workers, our affiliate @bfawu.bsky.social have had this reply from the Government:

"I am not able to comment on individual cases."

Like and share this post to show Jonathan Reynolds MP, that this is not good enough.

NZ parliament building with a Pride flag and trans pride flag flying outside.

NEW ZEALAND!

It has been EIGHTEEN MONTHS since Gender Self-ID was made available, and THREE YEARS since the BDMRR Bill passed!

And NOTHING BAD HAS HAPPENED!

Not one case of it being misused or abused.
Every single submission against it was WRONG.

Anti-trans activists NEVER tell the truth.
