EXCLUSIVE: Powerful Labour unions will boycott the party’s women’s conference this year in protest at the ban on trans women.

Unison, Aslef, Usdaw and the Musicians Union will not attend Labour Women’s Conference in September over the exclusion of trans women from formal business at the event.

The unions are among Labour’s largest financial backers and say the all-women event in Liverpool breaches their policies on trans inclusion.

Thanks to @GuidoFawkes for crediting Metro's Alright, Gov? TikTok account for our scoop on the hot mic moment between Wes Streeting and Shabana Mahmood (which has now led to both issuing tweets).

Would appreciate if everyone else using the clip could take note...

Luke is an extraordinarily talented young journalist with countless fantastic stories under his belt. For this creature to target him and send his followers after him is beyond contempt.

ANOTHER ATTACK BY MSM ON FREEDOM OF SPEECH

So @LukeAlsford who's a plastic pretend 'journalist' working for @MetroUK has decided to run yet another hit piece on me.

The dirty smear merchants are on the attack because I have the audacity to have a presence on @Spotify. Because I have the audacity to mention Muslim birth rates and call for the deportation of ILLEGAL immigrants.

I know, I'm such a bad lad.

Luke and his dirty smear merchant rag teamed up with Labour MP Sarah Owens and the statistical fraudsters of @TellMamaUK to start another drama based attack on me because of their perception of 'hurty words' which must be cancelled at all costs for teh sake of humanity.

I will not have a geeky looking so called 'journalist' attempt to smear me when he hasn't even watched my podcast.

I mean what kind of journalism is that exactly?

I won't have Sarah Owens MP lecture me about what I can and can't say when shes taken money from the GMB union for political campaigning, taken money from the Chinese Communist Party, and voted 86% of the time against stronger laws and enforcement of immigration rules.

Sarah also has very close ties to @hopenothate as shes been the Vice Chair of the HOPE not Hate Parliamentary Group.

I also won't have a a Muslim run organisation run by Fiyaz Mughal attack me. An organisation that uses FAKE data to make the world think there's a non Muslim jihad on his community - when there isn't.

Tell Mama are fraudsters who have milked the titties of government grants since forever - using unreliable data points as proven in their PCC loss to Andrew Gilligan back in 2014.

Now that they have been denied further 'automatic funding' by the government (the British taxpayer) they are looking for another 'Hail Mary' concocted story to become relevant again.

They are untrustworthy grift merchants who need 'Islamophobia' and 'attacks on Muslims' to stay relevant, and perhaps more importantly, FUNDED!!!

You can find all the relevant links in the first comment below....

Thank you for your attention to this matter.

Underappreciated aspect of Starmer's announcement today:

At some point, presumably in the next three months, everyone in the UK will get an operating system update on their phone asking them to verify their age (or stop seeing naked bodies in any context).

Bit of a time bomb?

Farage not in the House of Commons for the Henry Nowak statement this afternoon – he's up in Makerfield after posting his video this morning

He hasn't spoken in the Chamber since March 25

EXCL - Robert Kenyon's suspended X account REVEALED...

The Reform candidate posted about Asian men 'assaulting white people en masse' and 'an invasion of foreign criminals'.

Kenyon also said the far right doesn't exist and demanded King Charles open up his palaces to house asylum seekers, after the monarch called for unity during the Southport riots.

Reform has refused to investigate their candidate and said they are proud to have him representing the party.

NEW: Trump appears to tell Iranians to 'open the f*ckin' strait, you crazy bastards' - signing off 'Praise be to Allah'.

Maybe his most 'is it real or is it a hack' moment yet

@lorintbc @JewishChron Nice one Lorin!

[Zia Yusuf @ZiaYusufUK]

The British government learnt of the data leak in August 2023.

24k Afghans secretly granted asylum, costing British taxpayers up to £7 billion.

The government covered it up.

Who was in government?

Home Secretary: Suella Braverman

Immigration Minister: Robert Jenrick

According to this new YouGov poll, 40% of Labour voters and 50% of Conservative voters would be happy with their respective parties going into coalition with each other as long as their leader gets to be Prime Minister.

What is going on??

Our team recently suffered a tragic loss. It has been a stark reminder of how important it is to check in on our friends, colleagues, & loved ones. Rob’s family have set up a fundraiser for @MovemberUK to support men’s mental health, which I’m sharing here for anyone who wishes to help.

A wee curiosity I've spotted – as of the party's first conference last weekend, Zarah Sultana's page on the parliament site has updated to have her down as a Your Party MP.

She's currently the only one. Corbyn, Adam and Khan are still down as independents

[Craig Munro @crunro]

@whatyouthinktom I might need you to follow me back if possible?

[Craig Munro @crunro]

The Conservatives conference is my fourth this year, after Reform, Lib Dems and Labour. I've got to say, this one is feeling uniquely empty

On a Sunday as well, when you'd think more people would be off work and able to come along...

[Craig Munro @crunro]

@9andrewmcdonald Very well deserved man!!

[Craig Munro @crunro]

Sneak peek at the crowd for Starmer's speech – there will be flag-waving, be prepared
