@theAliceRoberts One problem with HS2 was that 250km/h was not enough for the dick-swingers and they went for 360km/h, massively increasing cost.

In 1987, Thatcher was spewing horrific homophobia from the Tory pulpit.

In 2023, @RishiSunak is attacking trans people in a very similar way.

Now, most people see Thatcher's speech for the hatemongering it was.

Eventually, most people will view Sunak's speech the same way.

@WilliamNB You and me both. At this rate of going leftward, I’ll be joining Baader-Meinhof before I’ve finished my 60s.

Man from Tory party says trans people are erasing Womens rights.

Actual Womens rights activist who fights DAILY for those rights and advocates for women and girls says trans people are not erasing anyone’s rights.

@PippaCrerar Shameful populism, hurting people for a cheap laugh. This is not a serious statesperson.

I’ve been away from this place because it’s toxicity, but I have to vent about this hate from Sunak. It’s shameful to incite hated for political gains. There are real people suffering because of this divisiveness. #TransWomenAreWomen

This is Rishi Sunak speaking - the barbarity of vilifying a minority group, making them a target for thugs & bullies, is as close to facism as I can imagine

[Tim Clayfield @Timclayfield]

@RachelGriffCA @HelenWebberley So sorry

[Tim Clayfield @Timclayfield]

@PassPixi It doesn’t. There’s one where I live, it’s in Arth at the southern end of Lake Zug. If there’s a traffic queue, it’s just blocked by the cars. Silly idea.

@Keir_Starmer Football is for everyone… except the trans kids. Stand up for what is right.

The brass neck of man-of-the-people Farage bleating about no longer having an account at Coutts! Although I suppose it is the only bank good enough for such a drama queen.

@EmmaReinaD Cis 1,4 polybutadiene. As opposed to trans 1,4 polybutadiene. 😹🏳️‍⚧️

The comments to this reasoned and reasonable post are absolute bin juice. I’m sure that the posters would seem perfectly nice and normal if you met them, so why do they think it’s ok to post this sort of drivel and abuse? It’s a mystery to me.

[Dr Helen Webberley (she/her) @HelenWebberley]

So let me get this straight...

"Feminists" are attacking trans women for trying to gain equal rights.
They're making up lies about them.
They're banning them from certain spaces.
And reducing them to nothing but their gender.

Sound familiar?

Labour's U-turn on trans rights brilliantly dissected and taken apart by @moira_robin.

Crucially, she clears up Labour's false claims about Scotland - where years of consultation and debate led to the vast majority of MSPs backing reform.

@ta4e_uk @Keir_Starmer Sorry, but this is letting the perfect be the enemy of the good. A disease of the left.
