The Met Police arresting a group of volunteers who help vulnerable people to stay safe is grotesque beyond words…
Solidarity from Manchester 🩷
The Met arrested members of the City of Westminster’s Night Safety team. They are volunteers. They were pulled last night at 2am and have been held for 14 hours. One of them came out of the station in tears. Police didn’t apologise.

The most bizarre thing about the Kathleen Stock story is that people are referring to her as a "well-respected academic"...🤔
She's not respected by her peers, she's only respected by people who wish to harm trans people.

Multi-millionaire Tony Blair is one of two living ex-PMs to have claimed the full £115k allowance last year, and Gordon Brown claimed £114,802.
We need to immediately scrap the Public Duty Cost Allowance.
Not bad work if you can get it.
After just 44 days as PM, Liz Truss can now claim up to £115,000 a year for doing nothing.

In Manchester, people in same sex couples have to prove infertility by self-funding 6 cycles of artificial insemination. This means that many LGBTQ+ couples have to pay up to £9,600 before they can access NHS services, while different sex couples do not pay anything.

Hi
@EHRC
, please can you tell me where the term 'biological sex' appears in the Equality Act (2010), as neither I nor can find it.
Your new guidance states that this is how sex is defined in EA2010, but that is factually incorrect.
We have published a new practical guide to the law for providers of single-sex spaces 📄
This will help service providers to make lawful decisions about any services they offer to women and men separately.

Refusing to date someone who enables a government that takes food out of the mouths of malnourished school children is not “intolerant” or “unhealthy”
Shared values are the foundation of relationships. If you want to share his values, that says more about your politics than mine
For the record, this Labour voter is happily dating a Tory, and there should be no issue with that hence my previous tweet.

The original flag wasn’t a prototype… the only reason you’re not looking at an 8-stripe flag is because of a shortage of hot pink fabric in the late 70s, and Baker wanted symmetry when split across lampposts.
We’ve been adding and removing stripes since it was first conceived.

If true, this figure represents 0.0006% of the NHS budget.
The NHS staff survey shows that colleagues with protected characteristics have consistently poorer experiences.
0.0006% is a tiny investment into making the NHS a safer and inclusive place for colleagues and patients.
Nonsense! Having worked alongside NHS networks for two decades, I’ve seen the amazing job they do supporting and developing staff, as well as improving the care our patients and their families receive.

This is an insidious lie told by transphobic people aimed to divide our communities. I have never met a trans person who believes this.
In fact, many trans people identify as lesbian, bisexual, gay, pansexual and a range of other sexual orientations.
