He/him. Generally a bit of an arse.

@AfrikanerC37023 @PolitlcsUK @billcurtis0 You're an Afrikaner in South Africa, you'd have no idea.

I don't know a single person 'on the left' who thinks that white people are safe from police violence and death at their hands. There's a laundry list of police crimes, from Orgreave to Hillsborough to Ian Tomlinson to Sarah Everard, to the endless list I sadly don't know about

@sgregory6686 @RoseWorthesee @LeftieStats Biology is not simple, either, no matter how much you want it to be. And here you are arguing against the proper support that trans people want, and that they find effective.

[Shortarse @therewentharry]

@RoseWorthesee @sgregory6686 @LeftieStats No, it's not. Not in the sense you're meaning, anyway. It's the rights of trans people that are being attacked, in the same way and often with the same rhetoric that was used against me as a young queer man 20 years and more ago.

Wait, he was in government? If only our fearless press had at some point let us know he had returned to government once again.

[hauntedmachine1817 @hauntedmchn1817]

He was incapable of staying in government because his desire to enrich himself by abusing positions, ignoring codes of conduct and trying to subvert accountability regarding the unelected networks of power and influence he was really working with were what really mattered to him.

Of course, any damned fool watching the actions of Falkner knew exactly what kind of fox she was - and those who found her a convenient ally at the time should start to wonder if the fox now asking if we should leave the ECHR is actually a face eating leopard.

Like I say: you can tell what type of fox each one is, by looking at which henhouse it’s been asked to guard.

@sgregory6686 @LeftieStats That's crap. The foundation of leftwing thought is solidarity between it's component groups - we support those being attacked because we're all stronger when we do. And if you want a selfish reason, you might need their support in turn, one day.

🚨BREAKING | Labour MP Nadia Whittome has tabled a motion to REJECT the EHRC bathroom ban "guidance".

If MPs back her motion, the EHRC guidance will be rejected and will not be implemented. Motion is co-signed by Green MPs Hannah Spencer and Sian Berry.

[Nadia Whittome MP @NadiaWhittomeMP]

The government’s own impact assessment warns that the EHRC’s Code of Practice exposes trans women to a “disproportionate risk of violence and sexual assault” and that women who do not conform to gender stereotypes may face “greater scrutiny”.

It also doesn’t offer clarity to organisations that want to be trans-inclusive. For example, if a charity wants to hold a trans-inclusive women’s coffee morning as a service open to the public, without opening it to all.

My plea to the government: withdraw the guidance and instead legislate to protect trans people’s rights, privacy and inclusion. 

For reference, the Minister’s response is in relation to membership organisations with rules for membership, but as the guidance stands, this would not apply to a charity service open to the public.

@BareLeft @BadWritingTakes Further surprise - this old, respected body was set up by Rachel reeves as soon as she crossed the threshold of no 11. This was one of her priorities.

@flying_rodent It has viewing figures similar to BBC Scotland, and a tenth of BBC 2.

If that's the agenda of the majority, it's a funny way for that majority to show it.

"Age verification lays the foundation for a fully government controlled internet."
— @mullvadnet with an amazing takedown

"If age verification is introduced, everyone will have to identify themselves either to the service/website they want to use or to a third party capable of linking them to their activity on that service/website. The correct term for age verification as it is implemented today is therefore identity verification."

@wrb91 @ChermitiLoyal @bortinez_ A rare source of hope, here, the declining standards of the far right. At least Mosley could look good in a suit, rather than looking like he was poured into it. Who's going to march behind that without laughing?

[Shortarse @therewentharry]

@EFischberger @cenkuygur Yes. That was as a convenient position for her to take them, it's not her position now.

Wait, that's meant to be *pro* Lambert? 😂

[Reform Party UK Exposed 🇬🇧 @reformexposed]

Matthew Lambert is Reform UK’s candidate in Douglas, Wigan.

He’s been creating AI slop that he claims represents the Christian Fellowship for Reform with himself a preacher / politician.

Must be a very close family judging from the people standing looking at him in awe. 👀
