Imane Khelif was assigned female at birth. She’s spoken about being initially banned from boxing by her dad who said it wasn’t for girls.

The attacks on her show that transphobia doesn’t only hurt trans people, but also other women who don’t fit conventional ideas of femininity.

Can we do urban design in Britain to create spaces for play and socialising when it rains? It seems like so many activities are cancelled by the rain, which then impacts people’s moods. “It’s a miserable day” Nope, it’s just raining. Imagine if our world was set up for rain

EXCLUSIVE: We’ve gone undercover inside Nigel Farage’s Reform UK campaign in Clacton and found evidence of anti-migrant rhetoric, homophobia and one canvasser making racist and offensive remarks. As @DarshnaSoni reports.

If you want change, you need to vote Labour on Thursday 4 July.

[The Labour Party @UKLabour]

The choice on Thursday 4 July: 5 more years of chaos and decline with the Tories or change with Labour.

Our friend and colleague, Jo Cox was murdered eight years ago today.

We will always remember her, and as we approach the general election, we strive towards creating the change she believed in.

The decimation of Anthropology at UK universities (Kent 😭; us at Goldsmiths facing becoming unviable due to rendundancies) is incredibly short-sighted.

A short 🧵 giving 8 reasons why the world needs anthropology and anthropologists, now more than ever 1/9:

First it was The Crown and now it’s Saltburn - a Moorlands business on the world stage!

As ever @deborahprice1 was brilliant on the radio, she’s a natural!

[Cllr Dr Darren Price @DPriceLabour]

A very, very cold day with @shriekinleek knocking on doors in Leek so we could chat to local people about worries & issues. People are so concerned about honesty & fairness in politics and were really happy that we’d called. It was great to get such a warm response! @UKLabour

A new bus service for #Biddulph !

D&G's 95 service will provide an hourly link with #Kidsgrove Railway Station providing greater connectivity

A professor of mine went to go hear Derrida speak once. The entire talk was about cows; everyone was flummoxed but listened carefully, and took notes about...cows. There was a short break, and when Derrida came back, he was like, “I’m told it is pronounced ‘chaos.’”

[Moorlands Labour @MoorlandsLabour]

#StaffordshireMoorlands is the worst served district in #Staffordshire

Trains are rare, and we barely have a bus service

The County Council has failed us

Today is 20 years since @UKLabour repealed Section 28 in England and Wales.

Our patron, @angelaeagle, reflects on the progress made in the fight for LGBT+ rights, and the long journey still ahead.

Thank you very much to 'G' @PurpleWisdom for ending our @LGAcomms ##LGAYOUNGCLLRS2023 first with such a powerful and inspirational session which was appreciated by all in the room

So in Sunak's new Cabinet we have:

- Environment Sec married to the exec of sewage-pumping water firm
- Health Sec in charge of obesity married to CEO of major sugar firm
- Foreign Sec tainted by Greensill lobbying scandal & isn't even an MP

Sounds like "common sense" to me...

[Fin @fjgm_]

I feel like I’m living in a parallel universe - Sunak has drafted in the man who precipitated much of the chaos + failure of the last thirteen years. Record numbers of food banks, more people living in unsuitable housing, councils running out of money. But yeah, bring him back.

[Cllr Dr Darren Price @DPriceLabour]

Great work from the SMDC Labour Group to get this support package through. Ambulances can take hours up here, #defibs are vital.
