As someone who went to school when homosexuality couldn’t be taught because of Margret Thatcher, it is in incomprehensible that 21 years after section 28 was repealed we are here again. We are truly going backwards on LGBT rights & it’s incredibly scary to witness.
Voter ID is not about electoral fraud. It’s about voter suppression.

BREAKING 🚨 | The government is CUTTING the tax paid by those who earn more than £150,000.
That means mega earners will pay the same rate as those on £50,000.
Tax cuts for the rich. Attacks on working people.
because of the queens death you can no longer sign petitions on the government website, including this one calling for those on disability benefits to get a one off payment to help with the cost of living crisis. utterly ludicrous and outrageous.
Strikes: suspended.
Democratic conferences: suspended.
Premier League: suspended.
Work and profits: ongoing.
Immigration raids: going ahead.
Evictions: happening.
Bills: being paid as normal.
See how this works?

The PM thinks it was fine to say “goodbye to valued colleagues” but it was criminal for me to say goodbye to my brother & mother
The first thing I did on learning of death was to check the rules, the second was to cry my heart out

BREAKING: Over 80 LGBT and HIV organisations in the UK have pulled out of the government’s international LGBT conference this summer due to trans conversion therapy being excluded from the ban.
Makes the conference essentially pointless. Hugely embarrassing for govt.
Wow. This is appalling. Utterly vile way to treat Kurt Cobain's widow and daughter. Also there were about 24k suicides by gunshot last year and everyone of those families got a gut punch with this grotesque metaphor. Ben Shapiro is such complete and total garbage.
£219 billion handed to shareholders of energy & water corporations.
Meanwhile, your energy bills are set to rise 77% in just over a year.
Let’s call this racket out for what it is. Legalised robbery.
