Never forgetting the people who protested when it was unpopular, who were arrested for being gay until 1993 and the people who have died. In a world which is polarised so much, progress is never permanent.
it is only now at 22 that 'pride is a protest' makes sense. Celebrating over 30 years since homosexuality has been decriminalised, pride weekend starts now but someone said at a talk, pride should be 365.
Not that this is always the case, Ireland has had the same people in government for over a decade and while some metrics look better, quality of life has dwindled. Point being that if we want radical changes, they take time
While leadership is a large part, the UK is not going to end its period of stagnation until the voting public and media allow continuity of a progressive government. Social Media has shortened our perceptions of progress and people forget that it takes time for change.
As the first day of nominations draws to a close, I am deeply grateful to the 322 Labour MPs who have put their trust in me and nominated me for Leader of the Labour Party.
Their support comes from across the PLP and reflects a shared belief that Britain needs a new approach to politics.
That is the circuit breaker I am offering: power out of Westminster, an economy rewired for ordinary people, and good growth in every postcode.
I want to empower MPs to bring the experiences of their constituents into the heart of government, and harness the full breadth of our Labour movement, drawing on all its traditions and beliefs in pursuit of a common purpose.
I want to thank every colleague who has nominated me for their commitment to that vision.
While she was destructive in many ways, if you look to Thatcher, who's economic policies didn't come to fruition in just one term, is the example of allowing a government time
I spoke to McConnell for about 20 minutes this morning.
He said we should end the war with Iran, quit giving aid to Israel, stop spying on Americans without a warrant, and he’s really sorry about how my primary turned out.
I don’t have the willpower to do fifteen different strategies for finding a job. I don’t even want a job. When I apply, I can’t even get myself to read the full job description without disassociating.
LGBTQ+ activist and icon Marsha P. Johnson died 34 years ago today.
Her body was discovered floating in the Hudson River, with her exact cause of death remaining unsolved.
I am officially nominating Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) for the Nobel Peace Prize.
No President in History has ended the same war so many times.
Our Dear Leader has ended the war with Iran at least 38 times by CNN’s count.
No President has ever done this before.
And he is nowhere near finished ending it.
It’s a record worthy of the Nobel committee’s recognition. Thank you for your attention to this matter!
