Starmer is now claiming he didn't know his close advisor of many years was harassing journalists.

Maybe it is time he also admits he doesn't know anything about trans kids and listens to trans people about his puberty-blocker ban, social transition ban and other transphobic measures.

Cass is clearly a 'gender-critical' transphobe. She parrots talking points that have been used by the GCIM bigots. She ignores scientific evidence to fuel this pseudoscience.

The UK goverment have purposefully platformed this bigot to advance their genocide of trans folk

‘Carnage of concern and upset’: Women’s Institute groups close after transgender ban Members warn NFWI decision has opened up toxic culture that deters younger women from joining

At least 12 WI groups are closing or considering closure after the organisation barred transgender women from membership.

Members say more groups are likely to close, and that the federation’s decision has opened up a toxic, traditionalist culture that will deter younger women from joining.

Defining women as "Biologicaly female at birth" is inheritantly misogynistic.

Yet, this is the proposed update to the Scottish hate crime act that's meant to strengthen prosecution against crimes involving misogyny.

Ohhhh the irony!

If Doctors Without Borders and other NGOs are forced to stop water activities in #Gaza, hundreds of thousands of people will lose access to drinking water.

Thirty deaths in small boat crossing avoidable, inquiry finds Inquiry chair Sir Ross Cranston said

At least 30 deaths from this crossing were avoidable. And the effects of toxic anti-migrant rhetoric are clear:

"...There was also a widely-held belief that migrants calling from small boats exaggerated the distress, meaning the Coastguard underestimated the emergency"

Mandelson’s malign influence runs right through the heart of this Government.

Not least in the govt’s NHS data deal with Palantir – a spy-tech firm co-founded by a man who thinks the NHS should be ‘ripped up.’

I've written to Wes Streeting urging him to ditch this dangerous deal.

Council of Europe votes to ban conversion therapy The Council of Europe has voted to pass a resolution banning so-called 'conversion therapy' for all, including trans people.

Brilliant 🥳

For a long time I and many other human rights campaigners have called out groups like SM and FWS for supporting conversion therapy.

This confirms it.

This is one of the hardest strands of our work - and also amongst those I am most proud of. This morning we named Bent Flyvbjerg - and we are about to name someone else.

Palantir uses medical records to target people for ICE in the US – will the UK be next? | Good Law Project Deadly ICE raids in the US rely on Palantir tools that mine health records to produce real-time data on people’s location – a chilling prospect for the NHS

Palantir is using medical records to help ICE target its victims in the US. And Wes Streeting is pitch-rolling for Farage to do the same in the UK.

A piece of artwork featuring a skeleton with an angel’s trumpet plant growing to their left. The blossoms are white and dangle above the skeleton, and it’s touching one of them . The sky is partly cloudy, and colored with light to dark blues. The area is surrounded by tree and som green wide open spaces. The skeleton is seen midway up, and beneath it grow purple morning glory. The morning are entangled around the skeletons body.

Revealed: oil industry lobbyist working inside UK’s climate department Polanski slams arrangement; experts warn of 'corporate infiltration antithetical to democracy'

Outrageous.

Ministers should be listening to scientists, frontline communities and those working towards a green transition – not hosting the interests of oil giants in their own offices.
