The Green Party is calling on the Prime Minister and Bridget Phillipson to reject the cruel and confusing EHRC Code of Practice.
Legislative action must be taken to create an equalities framework that protects trans people’s safety, dignity and humanity.
I'll tell you what's 'unsustainable', and it's not state pensions, NHS funding or disability benefits. It's a society in which the majority works longer hours for lower wages so the 1% becomes richer still.
Reform and Farage are Thatcherites funded by billionaires from abroad.
They don't give a toss about working people in the UK.
Man of the people, my arse!
.@wesstreeting is wrong to say new North Sea drilling will not “necessarily” mean cheaper energy bills - It’s an un arguable fact that it won’t. It can't because global markets set the price of oil and gas, even when we produce it here. Wes offers equivocation where certainty exists - that’s unhelpful, it could deceive people into thinking why not give it a go. On the question of more tax revenue from more drilling he offers certainty where equivocation is needed - it’s far from clear…
Take Rosebank for example, it needs nearly £3 billion of tax subsidies to get going and may never pay tax. Our North Sea is all but empty and politicians jumping on this bandwagon are doing the public no favours - Tony Blair included. This is a fossil fuel crisis, we won't solve it with more fossil fuels - we need 100% green energy ASAP and to ‘break the link’ for real. The link that prices our own wind and sun according to the global price of gas - a ridiculous mechanism that strips enormous value for our economy and impoverishes millions of us.
Ed faked it, we need to actually break the link.
Dr Khan makes a valid point. If they have done a 55 minute interview with Sturgeon about her husband stealing £400k, when do we get the interview with Farage questioning his £5mil undeclared gift and his house in Clacton his partner 'bought' with no money. #bbclaurak
Angela Rayner - £40k underpaid stamp duty - repaid. Lost jobs in Cabinet and Dep. PM.
Peter Murrell - £400k theft from SNP - going to prison
Huge coverage of both
Nigel Farage - £5m undeclared bung (possibly more) - goes to ground for a month.
Media coverage? You judge.
#r4today One by one our craven politicians allow words to be put in their mouths. We approach McArthyism again via the usual climate of media-induced fear.

So you know what @bbcquestiontime did with Farage? They’re now doing it with AI.
This ‘expert’ panel on AI is a disgrace: not one critical voice.
Gilbert works for Tony Blair to promote AI. Jones is govt chief AI booster (& Blair flunky). Riparbelli is industry. Gawdat is ex industry. And for ‘balance’? A Tory MP.

What can we do? Write to our local councillors and demand that they reinstate the net zero targets. Join us and get involved! 7/ https://t.co/QjN1wXgfNA
More than two thirds of reform's income comes from fossil fuel donors & climate change deniers. Reform work for their investors, not for our community or planet. Newcastle deserves better than this. 6/
The new Reform-led council in Newcastle-under-Lyme has announced that they are abolishing the council's target to achieve Net Zero by 2030. What we want to know is...why? 🧵1/

How is it an Energy Price Cap, when Ofgems only Fucking Purpose is publicly announcing that they are Rising it every 3 months?
We're being Robbed & taken for Fools & there's No one in Politics & Media to hold them accountable, because they're all working from the same office.
Zack Polanski has far more media scrutiny than Nigel Farage for one simple reason. Zack is a threat to the establishment, Farage is part of the establishment!
