In “Pride, Power, and Prejudice,” I reflect on organising London Pride in 1997 and founding CROYDON PRIDE in 2016. While we’ve made progress, systemic exclusions remain, especially around femophobia, racism, and misogyny within LGBTQ+ spaces.

To re-cap last night; The SNP ambushed Labour, who blackmailed the speaker, who broke the rules, which saved Keir’s blushes, which gave the Tories the excuse to pretend to be angry so they could withdraw and not lose the vote, and the SNP were angry their plot failed, so neither

I thought @BarryGardiner was excellent on @BBCNewsnight tonight - articulated my view passionately and with conviction.

Hey @CapitalOne - I go on a deceptive website, I used your app to reject a dodgy payment, but you allow the payment to go through regardless and then say I’m liable? Which is the bigger crook - you or the website?

In many countries people get 2 doses of the monkeypox vaccine - in the UK it was 1. Our ‘new’ Tory government, that no one voted for, is refusing to buy more vaccines (probably because Mp mostly impacts gays). We need a general election now! https://t.co/C6eCBkyqhm

What *That* YouGov poll could look like in a General Election: LAB: 498 (+296) CON: 61 (-304) SNP: 36 (-12) LDM: 29 (+18) PLC: 4 (=) Others: 2 (+2) GRN: 1 (=) NI: 18 Labour Majority of 346

Parliament should be recalled The Budget should be abandoned Truss & Kwarteng should resign

Liz Truss can't say she wasn't warned that her plan was a fairy tale. Rishi Sunak(former Chancellor) - "We have to be honest. Borrowing your way out of inflation isn't a plan - it's a fairy tale."

The UK FINALLY has a way out of this Tory nightmare. The Labour Party just voted to adopt Proportional Representation. That is key to getting the Tories out at the next election and keeping them out of number 10 at future elections. WELL FUCKING DONE TO EVERYONE BEHIND THIS!😍

This is a calamity of their own making. If Truss stays the polls / markets are only going to get more negative - they will lose the next election - their only question now is how long they want to be out of power.

If this poll was repeated at a general election Labour would win a 182 seat majority. Conservative MPs losing their seats would include Boris Johnson, Jacob Rees-Mogg, Iain Duncan Smith, Penny Mordaunt, Steve Baker, Grant Shapps, Andrea Leadsom, Andrea Jenkyns and Dominic Raab.

This is catastrophic for the Tories - their only move now is to sack Truss and declare Sunak the leader - that might steady the markets and mean some Tory MPs keep their seats at the next election.
