The government revealing young people's reward for giving up a year of their lives for others and being slapped with vaccine passports to keep us indoors so boomers feel safe
After nearly twenty years serving the wonderful people of Surrey Heath and over a decade in Cabinet across five government departments, I have today taken the decision to step down as a Member of Parliament. Read my letter here 👇
· Proportional representation
· Capital gains tax to fund the NHS
· 380,000 homes a year
· Reforming the Gender Recognition Act
· Legalising cannabis
· Returning to the EU Single Market
· Recognising Palestine
· Ending the hostile environment and Rwanda scheme
Oh this is good.
3rd hit piece against Stonewall for doing its job in 24 hours. This is what a coordinated smear campaign looks like and alarm bells should be ringing for *every* member of this community.
Pretty astounding that it only took about 3 years to completely re-normalise heterosexuals constantly attacking LGBTQ+ people in the media and public sphere provided you pretended it was aimed at either "gender ideology" or Stonewall.
Watching yanks get hysterical over Lucy Letby and the UK judicial system after reading one (1) article, whilst still using lethal injection and dealing with innocents on death row in their own country, has got me feeling very
BREAKING: Next week Ed Davey will be doing the big red balls from Total Wipeout to raise awareness for testicular cancer waiting times on the NHS and the Liberal Democrat's two month cancer treatment guarantee
The UK is the only country on Earth to try and tackle the climate emergency by making driving cheaper year after year and cutting taxes of domestic flights, whilst rail fares continue to skyrocket and public bus networks collapse.
Carla Denyer sent a very normal tweet for a leader of a party with ambitions to be a serious electoral force to send and the unhinged replies and QTs are a very good example of what the main obstacle to those ambitions is going to be
The most emotional, thrilling and stressful 6 weeks of my life and the thing that finally got me was this photo a resident sent of their poster today 🔶️
Worth remembering that behind the fun and the silly photo ops, is a man with a powerful story who understands the challenges so many people in this country face on a daily basis in a way that Rishi or Keir simply can't.
This weekend I get to do the most joyful and important thing I do: being a Dad.
Together, Emily and I care for our wonderful son John, who has severe physical and learning disabilities.
This is your reminder that driving is the only mode of transport to have got cheaper in real terms in the UK whilst public transport fares skyrocket and we are battling a climate crisis.
Rishi getting wet: why didn’t he bring an umbrella lol.
Sir Keir getting wet: wow this slaps.
Again, it’s not what happens that matters, but how it fits in the narrative.
Two pictures taken exactly one year and four stone apart, in between I fought three elections, broke up with my ex of two years and came out as bisexual. To say I'm a new, happier and stronger person is a total understatement!
You're not going to get the man who scrapped Section 28 to throw the LGBTQ+ community under the bus. Easily one of the better examples of handling inane questions intended for shock value rather than any kind of discussion.
If the BBC wants to be impartial on the existence and necessity of rights for LGBTQ+ people, I will simply be very impartial on the existence and necessity of paying the license fee.
Common sense, grounded in reality and anti-snowflake crusader, Laurence Fox, last seen screaming red-faced and spitting from the mouth at a set of pedestrian crossing lights.
Forcibly outing LGBTQ children against their will does nothing but put them in danger. Schools are supposed to be the first line of defence from abusive parents.
@faizashaheen
I have huge sympathy for you and what's been done to you Faiza, but doing this to innocent activists and sharing their picture to 100k people is really poor form and doesn't reflect well on you tbh.
Rosie Duffield: Only women have cervixes.
People in replies: This is not true trans men do too.
Rosie Duffield: WHY WONT YOU LET ME CALL MYSELF A WOMAN
Not asking for anything big like affordable housing or saving the planet, but it's pretty fucked up watching them get their stamp duty holidays, pensioner's triple lock etc as well as stopping us from rejoining society as lockdown is lifted
Something almost laughably sinister at the heart of the BBC when the UK's leading LGBT+ charity gets this and an 11 hour true crime-esque podcast simply for doing its job.
Just going to throw this out there ahead of the boundary review - but any electoral system where you can significantly change the distribution of parliamentary seats without changing a single vote cast by arbitrarily redrawing lines, is not a very good system
So lets just get this straight, Joanna Cherry sat in the seat occupied by the Leader of the Lib Dems at almost every PMQs for the last 6 years, simply so she could pretend to be a victim on social media when asked to move and inevitably stretch it back around to her being GC??
"Liberal Democrats are go!"
Sir Ed Davey, the leader of the Liberal Democrats, is launching his party's general election campaign in Cambridgeshire.
He arrived at the location in the party's "battlebus" which is called "Yellow Hammer 1"

@sciencesloth
The article is written to a pre-determined narrative and literally cites a Harold Shipman truther, y'all will read one thing, unquestioningly take it as gospel and then go and embarass yourselves online. Wind yer neck in.
The only comparisons anyone needs to be drawing between Rosie Duffield and Dom Cummings are that two people knowingly broke the rules unnecessarily, and one of them has resigned. But it wasn't the one at the heart of government, shaping the rules they both broke and undermined.
If only some of you were as outraged by Corbyn's ineptitude and ineffectiveness as leader of your party and the fact that the tories have an 80 seat majority because of him as you are by this tweet :/
I imagine tackling a few dinghies crossing the channel is the absolute top priority of the people of Wrexham in the midst of *both* a pandemic and economic depression
