⏰ Disabilities don’t start at 9:30am - so neither should disabled bus passes.

🗳️ Tonight, I’m leading the charge in Parliament, pushing for a vote to scrap these unfair time restrictions that create a postcode lottery.

🚌 Ask your MP to vote for New Clause 2 [NC2].

Happy Yorkshire Day!
God’s own country - full of flat caps, tea, and the best people.

Such a backwards step from BP.

Tribalism without toxicity - and other reasons why this Women's Euros is so appealing Female fans do feel safer at women's football. And this part of the sport can project an image of being more inclusive without fear of abuse.

This is SO true, it’s a celebration of football and women, and a desire for your team to do well.

Behind the ruling: how ‘Sex Matters’ is shaping UK policy on trans rights The UK Supreme Court ruling redefined ‘sex’ – but for trans people, it’s the start of something far more sweeping and exclusionary

Broadcasters are falling over themselves to look impartial by covering Reform. In practice they’re creating a daily, largely uncritical update, on the progress of Farage’s bid for No.10 in 2029. Other opposition parties are getting NO coverage. Sign here NOW petition.parliament.uk/petitions/71...

When one of my friends tried to tell me that rainbow laces 🏳️‍🌈 didn’t include trans rights support, I thought I needed to make it more explicit about who needs our support most at the moment.

Many of our clients feel they need to get their own EDI house in order before asking their supply chain to do the same. But are you aware of the positive impact you can have by including minority-owned businesses in your supply chain?

Yorkshire has a proud and distinctive identity that should be celebrated, not erased. The idea that Reform-run authorities might stop flying the Yorkshire flag, even on Yorkshire Day, is deeply concerning.

Hyper-liberal? The current Labour government are not the slightest bit liberal.

The Lib Dems’ Middle England revolution As Kemi Badenoch chases Reform, she is losing her party’s traditional heartlands.

THE NEW STATESMAN: Lib Dems seize the initiative as disillusioned Tories flock to a revitalised party, reshaping Middle England’s political landscape and leaving Kemi Badenoch scrambling in the dust.

I am increasingly disappointed that the concerns of the #LGBTQ+ community over what the Supreme Court judgement means for them are not yet being addressed. I have written to the Government asking them to make clear how trans and non binary rights will be protected.

Definitely don’t find out (what was it?)

Andrew Tate and his brother are wanted for rape and human trafficking – horrifying crimes against women. They must face justice here in the UK.

Today I asked the Prime Minister if the Government will seek their urgent extradition from the US.

Never in my lifetime did I ever expect to see the USA supporting Russia to invade another country.

Good morning all! 🇺🇦

Please share everywhere. 🙏🏻

Andrew Tate has been accused of rape and human trafficking in the UK.

An attempt by the Trump administration to stand in the way of Britain's justice system would be deeply wrong. The Tate brothers must face justice here in the UK.

BBC News, "What's your reaction to this announcement?"

Sarah Chapman, Chair of the International Development Committee, "I'm completely blind-sighted"

"I thought there might be some changes in the Spring Statement but this caught me totally off guard. And I think it's the wrong decision"

The PM is doing the right thing increasing defence spending - I have been callling on the govt to do this for years.

Cutting international aid is cutting soft power and piling up problems for the future as Putin and Xi fill the gap left by Britain.

Tonight, in the House of Lords, Liberal Democrat Peers have secured major Government concessions which now require Great British Energy to champion and support local communities on renewable energy projects.

At a time when serious allegations of child sexual abuse are stuck for years in the Crown Court backlog, and every part of the system is starved of resources, the prosecution of Sam Kerr - including the instruction of a silk in a case that appeared suitable for a pupil - is hard to understand.

Why are the buses across the region even worse than when you got into power, when your original manifesto included improving the buses?

The UK mustn’t let Donald Trump bully us or our ally Canada.

We need to work with our allies in Europe and around the world to stand up to him. The Prime Minister should invite Commonwealth leaders to London to discuss a joint response to Trump’s global trade war.

Labour haven’t really been standing with the trans community recently have they.

Ah it’s great to see this place has progressed into the 21st century 🙄

Donald Trump returning to the White House will be deeply worrying for millions of people in the UK and around the world. With a President who promises trade wars, undermines NATO and praises Vladimir Putin, the threats to our national security and our economy are clear.
