A twitter/X post from Keir Starmer's account, with screenshot of a video of people seeking asylum being detained, and the wording
Keir Starmer
@Keir_Starmer
I said that if you enter this country on a small boat, you will face detention and return.
I meant it.
Would anyone care to remind the former Human Rights Barrister Keir Starmer that penalising people seeking asylum for their manner of entry is against international law? Not to mention how grotesque it is that the Prime Minister is sharing videos of people being detained.

People under trees in Lisbon
It is 39ยฐC in Lisbon today. The same in Madrid. In Paris next week it will also be 39ยฐC.
Look at this picture. People are under trees, where it can be up to 12ยฐC cooler.
Given trees take decades to mature and many donโt survive, cities need to plant many more street trees. And urgently.

a picture of metrolink's pride vehicle, number 3002. it's in a bright yellow livery, with rainbows draped across the sides, partially covered by text reading "Love Connects Everyone". There's a blue and a yellow heart on the front. behind the vehicle is one of the platforms at altrincham station, with a historic cream canopy overhead.
what a brilliant livery from metrolink. now if only they'd keep it year round.... what do you say @andyburnham.bsky.social

Me and Fiona on the Coventry Very Light Veichle. I have got copper hair wearing a Williams F1 jacket and a white and red crop top. Fiona has purple hair and is in a white jumper.
The interior of the Coventry Light Rail Veichle, with seats, tactile flooring and a driver cab
Got to go on (what I believe is) the first public running of the Coventry Very Light Rail at BCIMO in Dudley, joined by @fionaaa.bsky.social

a picture of me and chloe stood underneath a polesworth station sign. the sign is white with green text. i have purple hair and i'm wearing a white jumper. chloe has ginger hair and is wearing a white and red stripy top. behind us (and the sign) is foliage.
a zoomed in picture of a class 37 locomotive dragging a london overground class 378. the train is partially obscured by a mast and some foliage. there are dense trees behind the train, and a few lines of track between the platform i'm stood on and the train.
least used station in the midlands โ

in conclusion: fuck the supreme court, fuck the uk's transphobic government, and fuck anyone in this country who is anything less than a staunch lgbtq+ ally.

on a positive note, it was lovely to see thousands of people protesting for trans rights this weekend and i know similar protests are happening this week.

that plus the supreme court ruling last week has put me in a foul mood. it's making me seriously think that this country is becoming unsafe enough for me that i should consider moving to another country.

overall, i just had a brilliant weekend in london, aside from some train disruption, but what really struck me was how even in london my girlfriend and i were getting dirty looks from members of the public for as little as hugging and holding hands.
