The greater threat to women comes from men, not trans women, who shouldn't be penalised for actions of predatory men. As a result, trans women & non-binary people are being excluded from single-sex spaces, putting them at greatly increased risk of violence https://t.co/iV35GGsdIr

🗣️ "These announcements are just recent examples of a concerning direction of travel in asylum and immigration policymaking."

📄 Andy and GM Leaders have written to the Home Secretary and Levelling Up Secretary about asylum, immigration, and homelessness in our city-region.

40 MPs are demanding that charities who have spoken out against the government are defunded.

This goes far beyond the usual (and frustrating) criticism of charity campaigning & represents a much more significant threat to charities and democracy.
