Pleased to stand with my friend @KateOsborneMP calling for a fully inclusive ban on conversion practices.

This form of abuse must be eradicated through strong legislation that leaves no loopholes and protects all LGBTQ+ people from its harm.

Israel murdered another journalist.

Nobody will even mention it.

Denmark just passed a law that every person owns a copyright to their own face, voice, and body. In the age of AI, this places more legal control in a person's hands, and there are real, large consequences and fines for breaking this law.

We need to make this worldwide.

A British citizen in their 20s heads over to #Israel, takes part in killing children and other civilians. Comes back and nothing is done.

An elderly lady says that she is opposed to this activity and the police arrest her as a terrorist.

Is this some sort of Kafka novel?

Paul Marshall, the co-owner of GB News, has tripled his hedge fund investments in fossil fuel companies in the first quarter of 2026 to £2.1bn.

They're a propaganda channel cashing in on destroying our future.

Always follow the money.

“The torture of Dr. Abu Safiya by Israel crosses every line. Jews and Palestinians must take action and unite against Zionism.”

On this day (7 August) in 1987, over 100 queer people gathered at Piccadilly Circus in London for a kiss-in.

The protest was in defiance of a UK law that classified same-sex public displays of affection as misdemeanors.

Shocking decision from the government to approve a data centre over desperately-needed social housing.

31,000 people in Tower Hamlets are on the waitlist for council flats. This centre will do nothing for them, except consume an immense amount of water and energy. Appalling.

Today marks 3 years since Imran Khan was unjustly incarcerated.

He is still being denied basic human rights and remains in solitary confinement.

His abominable treatment is an affront to democracy. I will continue to demand the release of all political prisoners, everywhere.

Two men who chased a gay couple through north London, spat at them and pelted them with fruit while hurling homophobic abuse have avoided jail, despite being convicted of a hate crime.

Mariusz Smietana, 46, and Dariusz Wawrzenczyk, 37, were sentenced at Highbury Corner Magistrates' Court after being found guilty of assault by beating over the attack on Alex Grant, 34, and his partner in Gospel Oak, Camden.

The court heard the couple were holding hands as they walked home from swimming at the Highgate Men's Ponds on Hampstead Heath, shortly after 10pm on 1 July 2025, when they were targeted on Mansfield Road.

Prosecutor René De Silva said the pair approached the couple, spat on their legs and shouted homophobic slurs in Polish.

The abuse escalated when Smietana chased the men down the street and threw fruit at them, which CCTV showed he had taken from a nearby shop without paying.

In a victim impact statement, Grant described the lasting effect of the attack.

"The hate and vitriol we encountered that night has made me realise that even today I am, as a gay man, still vulnerable to violent homophobia," he said.

"What had been a quiet summer evening spent enjoying the weather swimming with my boyfriend turned into a night full of fear and angst which lasted for many days afterwards." He said he had ended the night "visibly shaken, restless, and unable to sleep".

District Judge Vanessa Lloyd ruled that the offence was aggravated by hostility based on the couple's sexual orientation. "The offence was motivated by or demonstrated hostility based on sexual orientation," she told the court.

However, the judge found that the custody threshold had not been crossed, and sentenced both men, who represented themselves with the help of a Polish interpreter, to 12-month community orders.

They were also ordered to pay costs. The court heard Smietana, of Wembley, had previously received a caution for shoplifting in 2015.

Britain right now is a nationwide crime scene.

Three droughts in five years.

The fossil fuel industry left its fingerprints on every dried-up river in England, and every politician who took their money is an accessory

[Zack Polanski @ZackPolanski]

8 fossil fuel companies made profits of $700,000 a minute in the first quarter of this year.

Whilst fires rage across the world.

Time to pay up.

Israel is raining white phosphorus over South Lebanon.

Sparking MASSIVE fires that are burning heritage olive groves and pine forests in Yaroun and Arnoun — landscapes that carry generations of history.

Israel is a menace to all living things.
