Tonight I returned to a Council I once served as Deputy Leader — this time as a resident, presenting a deputation signed by 42 others to protect single-sex violence against women and girls provision. Haringey is now under a Green administration, led by Mark Blake. Afterwards, Council security, concerned for our safety, escorted me and two other women out through a back entrance and towards the bus stop to protect us from protesters outside screaming some claptrap about “TERFs” and “the state”.
In 1986, aged 10, I came to Haringey with my mum and sister, fleeing domestic violence. We were placed in hotels — the first notably in Holborn and St Pancras — where women and girls stood guard at bathroom doors to protect each other’s dignity.
Apparently that 10-year-old girl grew up to become a stooge of the state for fighting to protect services for the women and girls who came after her.
We came to speak. They came to intimidate.
It didn’t work.
Those responsible should be thoroughly ashamed.
Israel is worried more about the impact of the film’s exposure of its genocide & its impact on world public opinion than it is about the fact of the genocide itself & the horror within.
Left wing men are misogynists so let’s support the men who don’t believe in equality at all was a massive logical, political and strategic fuck up btw.
@AndWeavers The hardest thing I've had to realize in my nearly 50 years of left wing activism is that nearly all men do not care about women's liberation. Or if they do it's in a head nodding way and maybe an occasional fiver to a woman's cause their woman friend of family favours.
If anything can be more disgusting than Israel’s depravity & obsessive genocidal pursuits, it’s the duplicity & inaction of the “international community.”
We do not understand, and are disappointed to see again, this race to fervently ignore female members. Unison has already lost in court allowing a man to stand in a women only list. Why did union members pay this legal bill for the undefensible? @AndreaEganGS@unisontheunion
@SimonHarrisMBD Possibly because Andrew, for all his faults, didn't trash his family in interviews, tv series or anywhere else for big bucks unlike his traitorous nephew.
Jon Ossoff stood up in Atlanta this week and did what Democrats have failed to do for a decade: land a punch that actually connects.
He said the sailors on the USS Abraham Lincoln are fighting Trump’s war while the president himself sleeps through meetings, plays golf, and trades stocks.
He went further, calling Trump a draft-dodging, crook president who plunged the nation into a war he cannot end or win.
Not bad for a man who reportedly does not even carry social media apps on his own phone.
Meanwhile Trump apparently spends more time worrying about ballrooms and travel companions than actual governing, which, if you have seen him near a golf buggy, tracks entirely.
Stay connected,

@etanthomas36@TuckerCarlson He’s a liar, and a grifter. It was clear in his texts about Trump that were uncovered when Fox was sued that he knew exactly what Trump is https://t.co/6v7m8E3Dt3
