We recall when we had to leaflet outside. Faced complaints that we were too close to the venue, also leafleted outside conference hotel but moved on from there. Many activists could not stand even us being able to leaflet. #NoDebate Getting the word out is hard but vital.
"Hello everyone, we're the unions and we're demonstrating against women's rights to privacy in workplaces, shelters and prisons. At Women's Conference. We think this will encourage women to support us." 🤪
Incredible is the word. I mistakenly thought that unions were about observing employment law & keeping members safe….not if you’re a woman it seems.

This year it's great to see a contested election for all positions on the exec for @LibDemWomen (official women's group). I am running for Chair; standing on a platform of re-invigorating LDW, putting the focus on women at all levels of the Party & more grassroots involvement 1/3
@onyxrist Onyx do you have specific evidence for saying this result was based on the @LibDems changing their quotas to comply with the law? Have you done a poll of voters for example? Since @LibDems have won many council seats in recent weeks this feels like (ahem) quite a claim to make…
One reason @LibDems found it hard to change the quotas is that the trans lobby have convinced them of several 'misdemeanours' of knowing what sex someone is and treating them as such (either through words or policies) or by not performatively agreeing they've changed sex. 👉🧵
A herder peered into a derelict tank on Galana Ranch and found a young female lion trapped at the bottom. The tank was deep and smooth-sided – she'd been stuck there for at least two days, her paws rubbed raw from desperate attempts to escape. She needed help - fast.
That’s exactly what our field teams are there for. Our SWT helicopter flew the SWT/KWS Tsavo Mobile Veterinary Unit to the scene and mounted an urgent intervention which unfolded earlier this year. Donations make this possible, fuelling our aircraft, equipping the Vet Units and helping us save precious wild lives.

The fact that this group expects MPs to ask for meetings with them - instead of the other way round - tells us all we need to know about current power dynamics within the party.
The trans tail has been wagging the Lib Dem dog for far too long.
But a sea change is on the way 🌊
"Its conference, opened with the gagging of a debate on the definition of ‘woman’. It closed with the Patsy Calton Award – created in memory of a female MP who died of breast cancer to honour exceptional women – being handed to a man." @jo_bartosch https://t.co/8wzARqXyq7
This letter by @LisaSmartMP (@LibDems Spokesperson Women & Equalities) is signed by 40 LD MPs. Letter talks about the concerns of trans ppl, trans ppl feeling anxious & excluded, how trans ppl deserve clarity, dignity & safety re EHRC guidance. Women? Not mentioned once.
This petition just needs 7793 people who love dogs to sign and target will be met. As we speak dogs are being massacred in Turkiye. Your single signature could be the difference between life and death. Please, please sign 🙏🏼 https://t.co/2p81p632wD
During a debate this week @SarahLudford spoke about sportswomen and girls excluding from sports due to male inclusion - some exclude for fairness and safety and some for religious reasons. For daring to raise up these women's voices in Parliament she has faced a complaint 🧵
