It says "he Council of Europe Commissioner for Human Rights said today that he "is concerned about the current climate for trans people [in the UK]. ... He deplores that discussions tend towards the exclusion of trans people from many aspects of society, rather than ensuring that their inclusion and dignity are upheld." At the bottom are the Scottish Trans and Equality Network logo.

The Council of Europe Commissioner for Human Rights, Michael O’Flaherty, conducted a visit to the United Kingdom from 30 June to 4 July 2025, and a report was released today, including his thoughts on the state of trans rights in the UK at the moment.

· the inadequacy of the public consultation.
· the lack of involvement of deaf and disabled people’s organisations.

The Government said it’d cost £99bn to publicly own our water.

But this drew on calculations by — drumroll — water company lobbyists. The true cost is closer to zero.

Here’s why. 🧵

I've also joined the @GreenPartytu.bsky.social and I hope other may consider doing the same to ensure the Green Party moves further to the left and up their game on worker-led Just Transition

Join the Green Party Join the Green Party from just £6 a year. Become a member today - join the only party with the policies needed to tackle the climate crisis.

I've decided to join the @Green.Party.org.uk as they are the only alternative Party I see to counter Reform and actuallly bring back Climate Justice to the centre of politics as Labour has totally failed for too long and is now a Party with racist and discriminatory policies.

The step-up in anti-migrant rhetoric from the government is shameful and dangerous.

Migrants are our neighbours, friends and family.

To suggest that Britain risks becoming “an island of strangers” because of immigration mimics the scaremongering of the far-right.

📢🚫NO to disability benefit cuts! #WelfareNotWarfare

GMLC staff and volunteers joined Manchester DPAC, GM Coalition of Disabled People, GM Tenants Union, Unite, Unison and others today in central Manchester to protest against the government's proposed attacks on disabled people's lives.

My full statement on today's Spring Statement:

#WelfareNotWarfare

Charlie Mayfield, #KeepBritainWorking review boss, was invited by Today Radio 4 to talk about #Welfare cuts. Focus was on employer support for workers with mental health conditions. Well needed indeed but if you get ill, you go on occupational ir statutory sick pay not disability benefit #LCWRA

What Rachel Reeves should do instead of cutting benefits Labour was founded as the party of the working class

'Targeting “cost savings” on disability benefits is not only immoral, it is the opposite of everything a Labour government is supposed to be.'

Keir Starmer ally hits out at DWP benefit cut plan in rare public criticism Trades Union Congress General Secretary Paul Nowak warned: 'A major lesson from the Tory years is that austerity damaged the nation’s health. We must not make the same mistake again'

@paulnowaktuc.bsky.social TUC General Secretary on #Disability cuts planned by Labour:

"We must not make the same mistake again. Pushing disabled people into hardship with cuts to support will only make the current challenges worse and will not win public support."
