What I love about ‘Andy will be Labour’s first female leader’ is that Labour has a similar aversion to electing black and ethnic minority leaders (just one so far), but no one would *dare* brief that Burnham would be the first black leader. The contempt is specifically for women.
The campaign for a 'conversion therapy' ban - a govt bill on this was published today - was dreamt up by lobbyists seeking to criminalise exploratory therapy with gender-questioning children. We published this Observer editorial in 2023 on why a criminal ban is so dangerous.
This petition has just two days left before it closes. It currently has 8,283 signatures, but 10,000 signatures are required for the government to respond.
It’s so close — let’s make one final push!

A major milestone for our planet: In 2025, renewables officially overtook coal as the world’s largest source of electricity.
Renewable energy has never been more affordable or accessible.
And renewables can deliver what fossil fuels never will: real, lasting energy security.
Dear @ScotGovFM Think we're now on FWS 4, if we count legal wins against @ScotGov. Now may be the time to put on your big boy pants & meet what are probably Scotland's most effective activists for women's rights. It would be cheaper for all of us than doing it in the courts.
Lord Mandelson is still a Lord & has still not been charged with treason for sharing vital secret UK Gov information with his friend Jeffery Epstein.
Please RT until he is.
Thank you.

This is what good managers do. They give their staff this sort of clear, visible cover, when they are being subject to pressure.
And whoever put the pen in place needs to see it too. @ScotParl - could you sort that?

.@BirthTrauma is doing a survey (completely anonymous). Please take a few minutes to fill it in, or share if you can. Data on birth trauma/maternity experiences is not routinely gathered by health trusts so this will really help those of us working on it.
