We stand with the Hongkonger community and everyone affected by the Government’s proposed changes to the BN(O) settlement route. These changes risk undermining fairness, stability, and the commitments made to families who have built their lives in Bassetlaw and across the UK /1

So Iqbal has gone full mask off and is now directly allying himself with Rosie Duffield & Rupert Lowe to prevent trans children from accessing healthcare. Championing cruel & discriminatory policies to spite trans people, alongside members of Reform, the DUP & the Tories...
📢 I have joined cross party MPs in writing to @wesstreeting calling on the Health Secretary to halt the puberty blocker trial immediately. Children must be allowed to grow naturally & deserve evidence-based care, not experimental interventions with known risks & unknown

I'm sorry but these are genuinely all awful. The font on the 'Ready to Replace Labour' shirt is giving me 2010 youtuber merch flashbacks.

The image used in this article is of Luca Kumahara, a 3-time Olympian who has won multiple table tennis competitions. Of course, what isn't stated is that Luca is a trans man, who will rightly be able to continue playing his sport in the men's category under these new rules.

The experience of being a trans woman in the UK is waking up each day to see which sport (or service/org) you've been newly banned from. We're so deep into a trans panic in this country that it doesn't seem to matter whether these bans are backed by any evidence (they are not).

The "compromise" is that trans women are now banned from attending anything that isn't a fringe event at the Labour Women's Conference. This is nothing besides complete capitulation to transphobes & bigots. A government of cowards & a party of needless, performative cruelty.
EXCLUSIVE: Labour's NEC finds compromise position that enables women's conference to return in 2026. And Labour will campaign on NHS, Families and Pride in Place in May.

The finest example of speaking truth to power.
“You are a government of cowards, because you won’t tell people the truth about migration” The Green Party’s Zack Polanski says society is “feeling broken” because of years of austerity, and “fair and managed” immigration is “a positive thing for the country” #bbcqt

Two years ago today, I was crying on the floor of my bathroom as I took my first dose of estrogen. Now I have C cups. Life comes at you fast. Happy tranniversary to me!

Update: the motion proposed by Reform, which sought to ban trans women from women's spaces, was ruled out of order because the councillor who had seconded the motion could not be bothered to show up to the meeting...

The current leadership of Your Party has been irreconcilably captured by transphobes, at this point. A chair silencing a trans member in this way is completely embarrassing for a party that claims to put equality at the heart of its (yet undecided) policies.

Gender dysphoria has a well recognised treatement pathway which has 110+ years of medical science behind it. Gender critics advocate for child suffering and cruelty by denying this pathway to innocent trans children for the sake of their own personal beliefs.

Insisting that you're not transphobic before going on to make a bunch of deeply & violently transphobic statements is an interesting tactic. Just because ChatGPT says you're not a bigot, doesn't make it so.
🚺 Defending women's rights to privacy & safety is not 'right-wing' or 'transphobic'. 👨🔬 Opposing poorly designed & harmful chemical trials on pre-pubesant & pubesant children who are experiencing adolescence & who are not mature enough to give consent is not 'right-wing' or

It turns out the "Change" that Starmer was promising during the 2024 election was the laundering of Rishi Sunak's legacy through his own staggering incompetence.
Some delayed vindication for Rishi Sunak? Britons are now more likely to say that Sunak was *closer* to telling the truth on the economy before last year's General Election than Keir Starmer. That includes 28% of those who voted Labour in the election.

It's actually disgusting to compare access to life-saving medical treatment to buying alcohol or cigarettes. Hilarious that this man has spent the past week repeatedly asserting that the claims that he is transphobic are unfounded...
In the UK, - Children rightly cannot lawfully buy cigarettes. - Children rightly cannot lawfully buy alcohol. - So why can children lawfully be given experimental/irreversible chemicals/drugs by the NHS to stop their bodies developing naturally? PLEASE STOP THIS.

...and I've been blocked.
@ToryFibs @iqbalmohamedMP Iqbal suggested that trans women should not be allowed in women's spaces & categorised trans women as "biological men". Are you able to explain why you think this isn't transphobic?
