I called out a Reform MP’s racist comments in Parliament today.

I withdrew calling her a racist for her racist comments. But let’s be clear - racism has no place in Parliament or our politics.

Gwych! Amazing result.

Da iawn Lindsay Whittle a’i tîm.

Come on Caerffili.

Plutonium is the most toxic substance on Earth. If a human inhales the equivalent of 2 grains of sand, there is a 100% chance of cancer.

After 45 bombs, 600 experiments, and 15yrs, Britain had spread enough plutonium to wipe out the entire human race.

The US Ambassador should be summoned and challenged over Trump’s rampant Islamophobia.

Trump continually spreads lies. In London, we celebrate our diversity and reject racists and bigots. London is the greatest city in the world in huge part due to @sadiqkhanlondon.bsky.social's leadership.

You can spend your time arguing with their bot accounts. You can dismiss them as an extreme minority we should ignore.

It won’t shift the dial.

To reclaim our future use your voice to build and strengthen the communities they attack and show firsthand how hope beats hate.

Placards with 'Women against the Far Right' and 'Stop the Far Right'

Placard with 'Thanks but no thanks Farage. You can't hide your racism behind our skirts'

Very important info for eg women in violent relationships who maintain a secret phone. Please pass along.

Farage said today he would said women refugees back to the Taliban.

Enough said….

BREAKING NEWS:

Syrian asylum seeker found beating up a teen girl outside a club. He pushed her over and kept kicking her! It took 2 bouncers to stop him!

Labour wants to give him a 2nd chance!🤮
Correction: It was a Reform MP

See how your racism determines what you'll tolerate?

Black van with picture of Trump with Epstein, riding through Aberdeen. Text says 'Welcome to Scotland, Donald'

An advertising van displaying a photograph of Donald Trump with convicted sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein is travelling around Aberdeen all day today (Mon).

The US President is arriving to the city to visit his golf course and meet PM Keir Starmer. H/t Everyone Hates Elon campaign

We must say, ‘No’
No. Those are not ‘legitimate concerns’
No. There is NO excuse for terrorising asylum seekers. NONE.
It is racism and thuggery.
A loss of self control and decency. And any politician justifying it instead of calling it out in the strongest terms, is complicit in the moral collapse.

“Since AFP was founded in 1944, we have lost journalists in conflicts. Some have been injured, others taken prisoner. But none of us remember witnessing colleagues die of hunger.”

Girls in Afghanistan have lost basic human rights. A young woman who escaped the Taliban, Nadia Nadim, reached Denmark as a refugee, became a proffesional footballer, playing for PSG, Man City & represented Denmark 99 times. She speaks 11 languages & has just qualified as a doctor.... #AfghanWomen

UK Abortion Vote: Still Illegal. Still Screwed.

“Abortion is decriminalised!” No it fucking isn’t.

NC20 is shelved as Farage circles like a vulture, just waiting to implement evangelical MAGA style restrictions on women’s bodies.

This isn’t progress.

Abortion remains a criminal offence in the UK because of the left’s timidity. We must learn from that – and fast | Stella Creasy Tuesday’s vote in parliament was a missed opportunity – and proof that progressives are allowing the right to shape the key debates, says Labour MP Stella Creasy

‘Let this missed opportunity to reform our abortion legislation so that it is fit for the 21st century, remind us all that half measures are not what we are in politics to take. In politics, as in life, fortune favours the brave’ www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Our American counterparts tried to warn us - do as much as you can when you can to protect your rights or risk them being removed. Let’s hope we have more time to deliver abortion reform before the next attack on women’s healthcare strikes.

This was today in parliament. This isn't debate it's incitement. The chances of abortion reform are few and far between but the attacks are relentless. If we miss this moment it's difficult to know when another one will come but we know those opposed won't stop.
