This is appalling.

Did you invite @HackneyAbbott on to this panel that is discussing her and trashing her?

One of the most abused politicians in Parliament, someone who has fought racism her entire life, and you all sit there listening to him without saying a damn word? Cowards.

🚨 Rents are through the roof. Yet the government are ruling out rent controls - one of the most effective ways to help us.

Use our tool and write to your MP to demand change now.

Like most gay and bisexual men, I have trans friends who are frightened, who worry that they have no future in this country, and who are anxious about basic things, like using a public toilet or not getting abused in the street.

As you know, a lot of the people who bought your (genuinely excellent!) music are LGBTQ+ people.

Many of them have trans friends. They certainly all know what it's like to suffer prejudice and to fear discrimination, abuse, rejection and violence.

They know enough about their own history - about being portrayed as defying the supposed laws of gender and biology, as being predators and threats to children, as having collective guilt because of the horrible actions of a minority.

They know what it's like to be told they're actually suffering from a mental illness, that they're some sort of weird, depraved fetish, that they're trying to impose themselves on the majority.

Like trans people, gay and bisexual men certainly also know what it's like to be ridiculed for their appearance, something that doesn't seem to bother you as you spend your precious time alive on this earth creating carousels of your gay male critics, while presumably telling yourself you're the righteous person here.

They know that both media outlets and politicians demonised them to tap into people's worst prejudices for political gain.

They now feel betrayed because they felt your music was a part of their culture. Now they are doing what consumers do when they feel disappointed with a brand.

You can portray this as the mob and being driven by misogyny and all the rest. But the truth is really very straightforward - part of your audience is LGBTQ+, supporting their trans siblings is very important to them either because they are personally close to trans people or they identify with the struggles of trans people, or both, and they are voting with their feet.

You can keep erasing the cis gay and bisexual women who are also speaking out - who the polling consistently shows are more supportive of trans siblings than gay and bisexual men - which is the classic tactic of the anti-trans rights movement - ironically enough, erasing women!

You can even pretend to yourself that gay men are uniquely misogynistic, and even tell yourself that there is nothing homophobic about believing this.

And yes, you can pretend that you, a highly successful music artist, are the victim here, not members of a tiny marginalised minority who often feel scared to leave their own home.

But, ultimately, all you are doing is lying to yourself.

[Jeremy Corbyn @jeremycorbyn]

Shocking reports of lethal violence by Pakistani security forces against protestors in Jammu and Kashmir, in the lead-up to regional elections.

This brutal suppression must end. The communications blackout must be lifted. The human rights of the people of Kashmir must be upheld.

[Michael Rosen 💙💙🎓🎓 NICE 爷爷 @MichaelRosenYes]

How dare you! Nurses in my intensive care ward witnessed daily deaths, swabbed our bums every day, talked to an unconscious me, held my hand, wrote my intensive care diary, saw colleagues die, had inadequate PPE, were very afraid, are still traumatised. You do it?

[Zack Polanski @ZackPolanski]

Everywhere I look today I keep seeing:

1) deadly wildfires ripping through our communities
2) people desperately trying to get by as energy costs soar
3) record oil & gas profits

When will we see that these three things are connected?

[Mukhtar @I_amMukhtar]

I know. That's why I still find it wild that you lied about having received a prison sentence.

You were convicted and sentenced to 15 months in prison for the false imprisonment and assault of a Norwegian male escort. Pretending it never happened or trying to downplay it is bizarre.

[Munther Isaac منذر اسحق @MuntherIsaac]

So boycotts are suddenly a legitimate tool? Good to know. We have been told otherwise whenever Israel was concerned.

A shameful waste of police resources and taxpayer's money @10DowningStreet

Just sitting on the pavement and clapping is now terrorism. Not saying anything, not holding or displaying any signs, just sitting on the pavement & clapping.

Andy Burnham can stop this. But he isn't.

Reporting by @StevenJMethven for @novaramedia

[Your Party @thisisyourparty]

Police arrested 152 people outside Westminster Magistrates’ Court. 134 under a terrorism law carrying fourteen years.

One woman says all she did was clap.

Britain now polices applause

[Huda Ammori @HudaAmmori]

A complaint against the failure of the BBC to disclose 'Lord' Walney's ties to the Israel lobby, when he was broadcast criticising Palestine Action, was upheld.

They said his ties to the arms industry and pro-Israel lobby groups should have been disclosed

Elon Musk spent $290 million to elect Trump.

His investment worked. He is now $438 billion richer.

Now, he wants to buy Congress by spending $100 million to keep Republicans in control.

We must fight oligarchy. Defeat Musk. Preserve democracy.

[Joe Guinan @joecguinan]

Pathetic little man with his loveless landslide, an artefact of a broken electoral system—in fact, the lowest vote share of any majority government in the modern era.

[Saul Staniforth @SaulStaniforth]

Keir Starmer you can't hide, we charge you with genocide.

[Apsana Begum MP @ApsanaBegumMP]

We will keep demanding an end to the genocide and aid to support the starving, injured and dispossessed in Palestine.

We will not be divided by the far-right or silenced by any Government.

[Palestine Solidarity Campaign @PSCupdates]

250 000 on the streets of London for Palestine and against the far right! Nakba 78

[Mukhtar @I_amMukhtar]

Wait, I thought this wasn’t a far-right racist march?

[Harry Eccles @Heccles94]

Petrifying displays of white supremacy.

Since when did the UK get infected with christo-fascism?

This isn’t the USA… https://t.co/Jp0CiGPPtk
