Gender Incongruence is the only medical condition where doctors are actively allowed to cite their prejudice and discomfort as justification to deny treatment or even refuse to diagnose when it is very obviously the case that the diagnosis of gender incongruence is entirely correct.

I love this because everything she does over there will immediately be leaked for all of our collective entertainment

Maybe next time when @zackpolanski.bsky.social is invited, Question Time can run an extended programme?

We Greens have spent a long time listening on doorsteps and working hard in our communities.

No wonder, now we are getting some media coverage, that we have a lot to say! #bbcqt

labour don't have a comms problem. we're all hearing them loud and clear.

example: im not confused by @bphillipsonmp.bsky.social. she's a catholic extremist abusing her position in society to persecute queer ppl and abuse queer kids.

her problem isn't comms. her problem is that she's a bigot.

Starmer accused of pushing out some of last progressive allies in No 10 shake-up Exclusive: PM reorganising key parts of government to give chief secretary Darren Jones more Whitehall control

The continuing clearance of anyone who isn't a Labour right loyalist from the Starmer operation leaves only one possible scenario next year:

Any Labour catastrophe in the devolved and local elections will be entirely the fault of the Labour right.

Ash Regan, MSP for Edinburgh Eastern, candidate for SNP leader in 2023 and subsequently Alba leader in 2025, has now quit Alba citing it's "direction". She becomes an Independent and is re-standing as one next year. Alba's - never earned, only defected - parliamentary representation is ended.

Given how thoroughly the BBC, CNN, and Sky News etc were duped by this fabricated video content they should all be publishing headlines today about Israeli military lies used to justify the bombing of hospitals

Fiona Bruce shut down Zack Polanski on BBC Question Time as he was grilling Zia Yusuf over Reform UK’s links to Russia

Polanski expertly dismantling the "rich people will move if we tax them" narrative, while Denham nimbly demonstrates how very patriotic such people are.

this is like when all of those fact checking orgs said trump wasn't going to implement project 2025 bcos he never said, out loud, that he would.

the government has said digital id will be required to access public services which makes it defacto mandatory.

Centrist Democrats Have Already Forgotten About Kamala Harris Pivoting to the right didn't work in 2024. It won't work now.

*Research has found that when left-wing parties embrace anti-immigration politics, they lose vote share and empower the far right. Keir Starmer has attempted to outflank Nigel Farage’s Reform party to the right, and earned himself a 69 percent disapproval rating*

sounds like Hilary Cass 😱

“Why is it always hard choices for working-class communities — not for multimillionaires and billionaires?”

Zack Polanski calls for a tax on the super-rich on #BBCQT

Former Head of Comms for the IEA, Annabel Denham, says the super rich will leave if we have a wealth tax.

Yes, the very same IEA that brought us Liz Truss’ disastrous mini budget. 🤦🏽‍♂️

Green Party leader Zack Polanski explains that their taxable assets can’t leave. #bbcqt

“You can’t blame austerity on one hand, but then say it’s the immigrants. The immigrants haven’t caused austerity.”

Zack Polanski takes on Reform’s Zia Yusuf over spreading of misinformation on #BBCQT

Happy birthday to my friend and colleague Nigel Farage aka Mr Brexit.

#BBCQT

Always bring the receipts.

Deafening applause as Zack Polanski tells Zia Yusuf that people's concern over immigration is because he spends all his time spreading misinformation and fear.

Let's improve care for young gender diverse people Online surveys is a powerful, easy to use tool for creating online surveys. Run by Jisc, online surveys is used by over 300 different organisations in the UK...

If you can find the time, please share and fill out this survey for the James Lind Alliance. Mumsnet goons are apparently bombarding it with nonsense responses:

By the logic of the media, the Greens are surging and therefore deserve wall to wall positive coverage.

5 CORONER’S CONCERNS During the course of the inquest the evidence revealed matters giving rise to concern. In my opinion there is a risk that future deaths could occur unless action is taken. In the circumstances it is my statutory duty to report to you. The MATTERS OF CONCERN are as follows. – Waiting lists are far too long for first appointment at a Gender Dysphoria clinic. 6 ACTION SHOULD BE TAKEN In my opinion action should be taken to prevent future deaths and I believe you [AND/OR your organisation] have the power to take such action. 7 YOUR RESPONSE You are under a duty to respond to this report within 56 days of the date of this report, Namely by Friday19th September2025I, the coroner, may extend the period. Your response must contain details of action taken or proposed to be taken, setting out the timetable for action. Otherwise you must explain why no action is proposed.

1/🧵 In the Prevention of Future Deaths report concerning the death of Leia Sampson-Grimbly, the Senior Coroner required Wes Streeting’s DHSC to set out the concrete steps it would take to reduce waiting lists at gender clinics w/ a timetable for action. The DHSC should have responded last month.

There is no way that Find Out Now poll is accurate but it is VERY funny and a reminder of how utterly, repugnantly undemocratic Labour and the Conservatives are to have lumbered us with a shit voting system that now risks utterly destroying them. Now the FPTP leopard is eating YOUR faces!

Screenshot of a PinkNews article headline reading “17-year-old trans girl’s suicide over NHS wait times was preventable, coroner rules.” The article is dated October 9 and written by Amelia Hansford. The PinkNews logo appears at the top in pink and black.

Remember all of the ghouls who denied this was happening and did everything they could to make the problem worse from JK Rowling to Wes Streeting. The NHS who did a stitch up report to hide the growing number of suicides from trans youth on the waitlists. They should never be forgiven.

Astonishing advance by the Greens, astonishing implosion of Labour. When will Starmer's government get the message that it is destroying its base with deeply unpopular, rightwing policies?

By chasing Reform, it legitimises the far right while delegitimising itself.

Yknow not to be dramatic but officially seeing ill health and disability as a problem to be seen in terms of labor is a sign of core principles of your society falling apart it seems to me

Looking forward to the rest of the panel seething and coping

A reminder that the mid wizard book bigot is a big fan of a certain frustrated German artist with a funny mustache

Then Labour fudged the data on Trans+ suicide to cover up their complicity in Trans+ youth suicides

Never forgive and never forget

"It sent 110,000 bullets last month to Israeli snipers who we know have been using Palestinian children as target practice at times"

On #PoliticsLive @fisherandrew79.bsky.social mentioning the complicity of our government.

Labour MP Jack Abbott: "We did have this in our grasp only a short while ago with a ceasefire that then broke down. We've to make sure sure that this is lasting"

The last ceasefire broke down because Israel ripped it up & started killing again.
