TUC calls for new legal protections for trans people following Supreme Court ruling The motion passed unanimously

Since the Supreme Court ruling, there has been a surge of transphobic hate promoted by the far-right and those who seek to divide our communities.

We must resist this rhetoric and bring about true social equality for all.

Green Party leader calls for Farage to quit over tax affairs Zack Polanski said it was 'rank hypocrisy' for Nigel Farage to call for Angela Rayner's resignation and not to do so himself

@zarahsultana.bsky.social : "I have to ask the foreign secretary, how do you sleep at night?"

Given the volume of sign ups for Your Party everyone in the Green Party needs to take a long hard look at themselves and their part in one of the biggest missed opportunities in the British politics in our lifetimes.

Tell Klöckner: Stop the rainbow ban! Klöckner sends police to remove rainbow flags from Parliament. This isn’t neutrality – it’s queer erasure.

I won't stay silent while queer visibility is censored in Germany's parliament. Rainbow flags stand for dignity and human rights – not “circus.” 👉 Tell Klöckner: Stop the rainbow ban! a.allout.org/s/vQa4A/

Anyone who belongs to any minority group needs to be aware that what is being done to trans people can and will be done to them. In a decade we have been stripped of our rights to exist in public spaces by a press campaign and a well funded lobby.

Is Britain’s Green Party too nice to emulate Reform UK? The party’s next leader will need to turn vibes into votes

"It's a good moment for the party to clarify that we're challenging an unpopular Labour government,” says Mr Polanski. “We are not there to collaborate with them. We’re not there to be disappointed or concerned about them. We are there to replace them.”

Hmm, what do ‘central camps’ and ‘final plan’ remind you of?

Starmer asked to explain why recognition of Palestinian statehood is conditional.

Because he doesn't believe Palestinian lives are equal to Israeli lives.

Because he's totally lost his humanity in his bubble where he sees peoples lives as bargaining chips.

And because the man is devoid of all principles and compassion.

Next question.

Anyone blaming the Green Party or Your Party for Reform's success is just an instant block now. It's not a good faith or honest position.

"People have had enough... they're fed up seeing cuts to their services, threats to PIP, continuing child poverty, WASPI women short changed by the govt, and the only thing they can find money for is more weapons of war"

Jeremy Corbyn on the announcement of a new party.

I stand with Diane Abbott.

Diane was the first black woman ever to be elected.

She's spent a lifetime fighting racism and she's the mother of the house.

This will be her legacy.

What's yours, Keir?

"They do have the right to withold power and water from the Palestinians."

The recent Supreme Court decision and the unworkable EHRC guidance it prompted has made it critically hard for trans people to participate in many aspects of day to day life.
It robs them of dignity and privacy.

Me at the Trans Rights demo following the Supreme Court ruling. I’m wearing a trans flag heart tshirt and carrying a banner that says ‘I’ve been fighting for LGBTQ+ rights since the 1980s (and I’m tired of this shit!). Trans Lives Matter.’

Do not be fooled into thinking that if you’re LGB and not trans you can preserve your rights by distancing yourself from our trans siblings.
It never works that way.

Budapest Pride. A man wearing gold lame pants and a Stetson marches in front of various Pride flags, observed by Police.

Love, solitarity and strength to all Hungarian LGBTQ and allies, defying Orban’s ban and rallying at Budapest Pride today.
Despite all efforts to erase us, we shine!

If like me you are happy to see Zohran win in New York and you want to see that sort of thing in the UK, it's worth knowing that his campaign knocked 95k doors in a week.
That takes lots of people like us volunteering.

So get involved. This is a great place to start:

Zohran looking out on a victory night crowd.

In the words of Nelson Mandela: it always seems impossible until it’s done.

My friends, it is done. And you are the ones who did it.

I am honored to be your Democratic nominee for the Mayor of New York City.

A group of older women are smiling and cheering. They are all wearing black T-shirts with "Older Women for Trans Rights" printed across them

Happy Pride to everyone who's celebrating today.
But especially this group of women in Edinburgh - which includes author Val McDermid and her wife Jo Sharp

Why I'm backing Zack Polanski to be the next leader of the Green Party.
