I’ve reluctantly verified our account.

I hate supporting illiberal figures like Elon Musk, but the X algorithm seems to work against human rights organisations & activists.

Our engagement has dropped significantly & we can’t let our voice be silenced.

#WorldCup should unite people, not leave communities living in fear of immigration raids

Calls for an ICE truce during #WorldCup2026 highlights the threat to human rights posed by ICE

FIFA & its sponsors should join call for an ICE truce

Keir Starmer made 10 brilliant policy pledges when he stood to become Labour leader

Since then, he's broken every one of them

I knew him in the 1980s. On a personal level, he's a good and likeable man but he has failed to deliver the change that Britain needs - a fairer UK

#FIFA bans on Haiti #WorldCup football jersey

Why? It includes a symbol of the 1803 slave rebellion that led to independence

This is an attack on freedom of expression & Haitian history

Stop FIFA censorship!

Violent racist Belfast rioters who burned people out of their homes are not designated as terrorists

But people holding cardboard signs opposing Israel's genocide & supporting Palestine Action are arrested under anti-terrorism laws

Two-tier justice!

FIFA urged to ban World Cup teams that ban gay players.

Judges rule that disrupting genocide is terrorism.

Stop The War opposes��western military aid to Ukraine. This would result in Russian conquest

It's like opposing aid to Republican Spain in 1930s or to the anti-Nazi resistance in WW2

@STWuk are 'leftist' Neville Chamberlains - appeasers of Russian imperialism

Puberty blockers have been safely prescribed for non-trans children with premature puberty for many decades

So why can’t they be prescribed for trans kids? 

They’re safe & reversible

Parents & trans kids say they are beneficial, not harmful

Listen to parents of trans children

[GB News @GBNEWS]

'There's not a shred of evidence that it's caused them any harm.'

LGBT Rights Campaigner Peter Tatchell weighs in on a controversial experiment which will trial puberty blockers on children as young as 11.

Reform-led Staffordshire council has removed Pride displays from its libraries

This follows similar moves by other Reform councils across England, removing Pride displays & flags, and defunding Pride events. SHAME!

No one wants war. But faced with Russian imperialist aggression, Ukraine has a right to self-defence

The West has a duty to supply Ukraine with the weapons it needs to prevent Russian conquest, just like we aided the anti-Nazi resistance in occupied Europe

Today's @STWuk International Anti-War Conference is right to oppose welfare cuts to fund warfare

But wrong to oppose military aid to Ukraine. This would lead to the victory of Russian imperialism - the annexation of democratic Ukraine by fascist Russia.

This would be a catastrophe for Ukraine’s trade unions, LGBTs & democratic civil society

Palestinian activists speak out against Hamas

They say “Hamas is finished” & urge Gaza residents to join "June 26 Revolution" protests

The anti-Hamas dissidents oppose Israel but say Hamas's war has caused Palestinians too much suffering, for no gain

Trans Ukrainian refugee warns of a growing mental health crisis among LGBT+ asylum seekers - fuelled by delays, poverty & anti-immigrant rhetoric

World Cup 2026 referee to make history as first match official who is out as gay. BRAVO!

But still no openly gay footballers out of 1,248 players at the #WorldCup2026

@frank_star88869 They were homophobic bigots who abused their power to harm the LGBT+ community

The right wants money for defence. It should start with MoD wastefulness

£6bn Ajax armoured vehicles are faulty

Two outdated aircraft carriers, costing twice their original price, are too vulnerable to sail

Cut the defence waste, not social spending!

FIFA must suspend #WorldCup teams that ban gay players

11 countries criminalise & discriminate against gay footballers

This is against FIFA rules that ban discrimination based on sexual orientation

But FIFA does nothing!

Iran threatens World Cup match stoppage over ‘unofficial flags’ at
Seattle Pride Match

Sounds like FIFA is being blackmailed by Iran to ban rainbow flags?

Iran claims FIFA has promised "no disruptive incidents will occur"

Is FIFA colluding with Iran?

Brexit has made Britain poorer

Voting to leave has resulted in severe costs for households & businesses

Jobs, investment & productivity have stalled. Costs & prices higher. Value of the pound is down

Households are thousands of pounds worse off
