Fighting against injustice & tweed from the comfort of a rattan chair. Former CLP secretary. My pen is my sword! A punk woman running the gauntlet of naked men.
Are we living through traumatic event after traumatic event, or are we just the first generation with worldwide communication and social media, and life has actually always been this horrific?
@JasonReidUK Labour has to prioritise arresting retired doctors and teachers who are against proscribing Palestine Action, rather than protecting Israeli hooligans. Tough choice.
...2/3 - Will you ask your councillor to vote to do the same here? Here's an idea of what you might write - you can find your B&NES councillor's details (who & how to contact them) here -https://t.co/3AAni08h3u ...🧵2/3...
Tomorrow, two men will be allowed to punch women in the name of boxing, the Olympics, ‘sport’ & ‘fair play’.
I sincerely hope this peaks the entire world.
If you’re cheering this on, shame on you.
YOU KNOW this is WRONG.
Whatever happens in Paris, after the Games, @iocmedia must withdraw the 'Framework Document' and commission an independent review of its decision-making processes into how it ever got adopted. The betrayal - of women's sport, and of basic principles of fairness - is enormous.
@FaresaverBuses daughters boyfriend attempted to catch the 273 on Saturday to get to Melksham on the Box Road, Bathford.
The driver shook his head and drove past. Is this not a stop?
I ended up paying £30 for a taxi for the lad. Where can he catch a bus to Melksham from this end?
“Midway during the D-Day celebrations in Normandy, I took a walk around the town and came across a lovely Victorian railway station, and I accidentally boarded a train to a local aerodrome, where I tripped and fell into a helicopter which took me to London.”
This isn’t about Julie Etchingham being a weak moderator. It’s about Sunak thinking it’s fine to talk over and ignore women who challenge him. He gets this way consistently with women in positions of power. Be it on committees, in interviews or debates.

The idea that Humza Yousaf's political fate may now lie in the hands of Ash Regan, the woman who left the SNP in disgust at its plans for gender self-ID, reminds me...
@jk_rowling @kbrigan1959 Misgendering is at the root of all Harry Potter’s woes. I’m really distressed that the colour of Dobbie’s Sock has not given me a clear blue or pink psychic reading!
Genitals ≠ gender, as we all know. Anyway, Voldemort knew the pixie was trans because the pixie was wearing a pronoun badge so large it was impeding its ability to fly. Therefore it was deliberate misgendering, which is of course tantamount to genocide.
