NHS Sussex are forcibly detransitioning trans people. These patients need full restoration of their healthcare, and everyone involved in doing this needs to be sacked.

More than 50 child asylum seekers still missing after disappearing from Kent care Council data obtained by the Guardian shows 345 children have gone missing in recent years, many probably taken by traffickers

Jesus Christ. We go mad about one bloke we wrongly released, yet hear next to nothing about this horror? www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2025...

Been doing some BBC phone-ins about Andrew for @ourrepublic.scot and need to reinforce -

This isn't just a story about the Monarchy and royal power & entitlement. We live in a society with sub-3% sexual assault charge rates. Let alone convinctions.

The Monarchy isn't the only system needing change

Finallyyyy 🤩

Isn't this basically how Outbreak with Dustin Hoffman starts?

All the lyrics to 'Rasputin' are funny but I love 'it was a shame how he carried on'. It sounds like something your gran would say about a disgraced quiz-show host.

‘Change course now’: humanity has missed 1.5C climate target, says UN head Exclusive: ‘Devastating consequences’ now inevitable but emissions cuts still vital, says António Guterres in sole interview before Cop30

Overshooting 1.5°C wasn't 'inevitable.'

We've been pushed by fossil fuel giants & governments that pander to them.

Every delay, every oil field, every broken promise made this crisis worse.

Keir Starmer, will you promise to leave Rosebank undeveloped?

'I'm a disabled homeowner - can I afford to be ill?' Katie McConnell says she struggled to get life insurance and mortgage protection when buying a home.

"All these things the insurers say sound reasonable, but are tantamount to saying Disabled people are an unusual case, and that their lives are inherently riskier." - Mikey, DR UK campaigner

Disabled adults are 3x more likely to be in rented housing 👇

‘Three GPs dismissed my symptoms — now I face disability for life’ Medical negligence meant that doctors failed to diagnose Toni-Claire Miller’s back pain as cauda equina syndrome. She wants increased awareness of the condition

Cauda equina syndrome gives MSK physios sleepless nights.
Don’t be surprised if your physio asks about bladder / bowel function, sensation and sexual function. CES is an emergency with catastrophic results if missed.

We tried to place this story - very expensive polling, the first of its kind, strong quantitative data about what trans people feel about Britain: bluntly there is no better way to tell the story - with the BBC but it said it was "too weak".

But it will pick up any old piece of transhating garbage.

Today’s #AutumnArrivalSpotlight is the mighty-beaked Hawfinch! 🍂

A shy autumn migrant, these large finches are drawn to the UK’s woodlands, where they put their powerful bills to work cracking seeds.

Have you spotted one?

Was it the Trashfuture guys who said the big political project was a fight to the death to protect the right of British pensioners to be openly racist towards the women who wipe their arses for them

It is this background that makes me so incredulous when economists say Britain needs to start taxing its average earners more because you can't raise enough from the rich. Bitch what money are you planning to tax away? Everyone is broke!

Our rare visitor has been reported again this morning - please park carefully, and tell us what else you find while visiting.

anti-fascist - anti-racist. Scottish Greens. 2 Green flags one lighter and one darker.

anti-fascist
today.
tomorrow.
always.

I've been out of the loop with party politics for a while and trying to get more involved again, I don't really understand how we could have a formal relationship with a party that doesn't have policies yet, what if they vote through something SGP fundamentally disagrees with?

A statement saying both that they haven't decided their policy on indy yet and that they're the only ones who'd deliver it correctly at the same time is actually ridiculous

Remember that Ash Regan's understanding of sex work is so shallow that when she was warned the Nordic model pushes the trade underground she thought that literally meant into basements

I have been out of the loop with party politics for so long and have picked an interesting week to start showing an interest again.

49 signatories - including Amnesty, Human Rights Watch and several trade unions - urge MSPs to reject Ash Regan’s bill

Brianna keeps getting written about, even if not especially her own mother, like she tragically killed herself rather than was murdered in a transphobic hate crime

Record poll. Scottish Greens on course for best ever result. Scottish Parliament regional list vote. SNP: 21%. Greens: 16.5%. Reform: 16%. Labour: 15%. Tories: 11%. Lib Dems: 10%.

A new poll puts us in second place!

With 7 MSPs we delivered free bus travel under 22s, ended peak rail fares, banned new incinerators, increased taxes on the rich, scrapped school meal debt, introduced rent controls, and much more.

Imagine what we could do with double that. 👀
