Keir Starmer is fucking evil. He'll be responsible for OAPs freezing to death this winter & now he's going after chronically sick/disabled people. THIS IS A CHOICE. He could go after big businesses for tax evasion. He is CHOOSING to kill elderly, disabled, sick people instead

Dear @NicolaSturgeon . Could you also let us know where the other 16 trans prisoners (as 9 had only decided to transition *after* conviction) are being held? The public has a right to know if you are locking up and exposing vulnerable women to violent males.

It should be noted that Nicola Sturgeon would have done NOTHING it it wasn't for public backlash. And that there are 16 trans prisoners (9 only decided to transition *after* conviction) still in the system & a risk to women. (So much for the SNP mantra of 'it never happens' btw).
