"We should not have to live in a country where the Government can seize anyone who looks Latino, speaks Spanish, and appears to work a low wage job. Rather than stand idly by while our constitutional freedoms are lost, I dissent." β€”Justice Sonia Sotomayor

Alongside colleagues I've written to the Minister for Women & Equalities about the appointment of the new EHRC Chair.

We share the concerns that both the JCHR and WEC had during the pre-appointment hearing.

The EHRC urgently needs to rebuild trust with all communities.

Dear @bbcbreaking-bot.bsky.social @bbcnewsnight.bsky.social : WHY no @libdems.org.uk on BBC #politicslive when talking about Ofwat and water systems when they've been campaigning about this for years?

Instead you platform Reform again.

The BBC has a huge right wing bias.

Israel kills at least 43 Palestinians in Gaza, including aid seekers Among the dozens killed are 20 aid seekers, as NGO warns Israel is also deliberately blocking energy access.

While almost everyone has fallen for Netanyahu's ploy of focusing on Iranian-US-Israeli air strikes, Israel has been intensifying its genocide. For the sake of humanity, ALL EYES ON GAZA! www.aljazeera.com/news/2025/6/...

Parliament surrenders to anti-trans activists on toilet policy The UK parliament has thrown trans people under the bus on toilets, abandoning its own policy to placate activists who accosted a trans barrister on the parliamentary estate.

The UK Parliament has declared its own trans bathroom ban, caving to activists who accosted a trans barrister. Originally said they were awaiting EHRC code of practice, but have now capitulated to bullying.

Looks targeted given the trans Mass Lobby this week.

Tonight, President Trump is hosting an β€œintimate” private dinner for the top holders of his $TRUMP memecoin. It’s an unprecedented pay-to play stunt and one of the most corrupt events we’ve ever seen.

Lots of very high profile UK biologists sign a letter saying that biological sex isn't binary or immutable and that the Supreme Court's ruling is scientifically wrong!

We really need to hammer home how the anti-trans side is anti-science
