RT if you support the strikes 👊

Meghan Markle and Prince Harry told you of racism in Royal Family & household. But she was vilified, abused & violated for speaking the truth.

Ngozi Fulani’s experience with Lady Susan Hussey wasn’t isolated, one off or a ‘bad apple’ at Buckingham Palace.

You can’t reform this.

Today UCU members will be joined by CWU, Unite, Unison, NEU, Equity, RMT, NUS, Enough is Enough, and many others.

We are bringing thousands to the streets on London.

This is a movement.

This is solidarity.

This is how we win.

Together, United.

Loving the person I've just blocked who thinks teenage girls never harm other teenage girls. He has clearly never been a teenage girl. https://t.co/hIA6AqO5QX

Dear GCs yes some trans people are sex offenders, so are some cis women. So are a lot of cis men. Most of us mix with the latter two groups in our everyday lives though. If you want a safe space, better get a panic room with no one else in it.

[Jo Grady @DrJoGrady]

The last 6 months have been relentless

The biggest national campaign in UCU history

Smashing the national ballot

Biggest picket lines ever

Biggest national demo ever

Employers back at the table

But we don’t stop until we win

We go again

Some great news at last both for trans people and the fantastic @Mermaids_Gender. Thank you @MACcosmetics for your support and saying: "We believe there is no LGB without the T, and know that the trans community need our support now more than ever...

@teresamaryclark @CLPD_Labour @labourwomenlead Still. Look on the bright side? Less scope for AWC23/AWC24 to become cesspits of cis bigotry, I suppose. But how will trans and non binary women, & their cis allies too, ever feel safe again at a Labour AWC if we have no action to tackle the transphobia that marred part of AWC22?

[Annual Women’s Conference. For ALL Labour women. @AnnualAll1]

@teresamaryclark @CLPD_Labour @labourwomenlead Oh dear, oh dear, oh dear. First achievement of the CLPD slate for WCAC - no more stand alone Annual Women’s Conferences? Have they presided over the end of all our Telfords?? They asked for a date. They got a date. Feeble beyond belief. And STILL no action against transphobia.

[Teresa Clark @teresamaryclark]

@AnnBlackLabour @ComradeChoppy @TomMillerUK Reminds me of the CP 1950 election quote. ‘We’ve lost East Fife, but we’ve gained China.’ Only backwards. No more Telfords, but one more person on one more sub committee. Sad. Oh, and still no reply to my letter from March.

[Teresa Clark @teresamaryclark]

@ComradeChoppy Thanks. I was rather surprised by ‘Name a date’ focus of petition from the current CLP reps on WCAC. I was hoping for something a bit more - what’s the word - feminist? Socialist? Focused on, um, equalities. For ALL women. Please could you nudge NWC - still no reply to my letter.

[Teresa Clark @teresamaryclark]

Oh dear. Another own goal from @CLPD_Labour’s slate for WCAC? The @labourwomenlead petition asked for a date. A whole 352 people signed, some, unchallenged, with bigoted dog whistles. Now you have a date. Next time, maybe ask for something real - action against transphobia, say?

[Maurice Mcleod (he/him) @mowords]

This proposal needs to be dropped immediately and elections launched for the national BAME committee elected by all BAME members of the Labour Party. You can write to @CWSewell - as I will be doing - to ask her to oppose here: https://t.co/VUIKfTq4Bj

[Maurice Mcleod (he/him) @mowords]

Hardly a surprise that tomorrow the Labour Party is set to disenfranchise tens of thousands of its BAME members after the Forde Report revelations of deep institutional racism.

How do we discuss the problem of racist dog whistles on 'feminist' websites ?

[Jo Grady @DrJoGrady]

Docking uni workers pay

‘Cracking down’ on foreign students that enrich our culture

Teachers forced to take 2nd jobs to eat

Those are the education headlines today

It’s a f***ing disgrace and I’ve had enough of it

RT if you are a worker, student, or parent and feel the same

[Liana Kerzner @redlianak]

The "JK Rowling said nothing transphobic" crowd reminds me of the 1990s "gay people deserve rights but marriage is between a man and a woman" types. Bigots always double think their way around acknowledging their bigotry.

[Teresa Clark @teresamaryclark]

@kaesmth @labourwomenlead Thank you! Drift from our original stand on intersectionality & inclusion to one where openly transphobic remarks are allowed to go unchallenged is depressing. Also saddened to see one of today’s speakers has RTed ‘Counterfire’. Am raising with them, and hoping it was ignorance.

[Teresa Clark @teresamaryclark]

@natachakennedy @labourwomenlead @CLGALabour @PeoplesMomentum @CLPD_Labour @LRCinfo 2 Of course, that is why LWL removed me as delegate. Other rep left LWL. Momentum made excellent demands of CLGA but were ignored. Momentum did not back, eg, for NWC the person who recently seems to support Musk against his sacked workers. LWL and CLPD have STILL not apologised!
