We have to be clear: @wesstreeting is an amoral coward who, as a member of the Labour front bench, speaks for the party. Labour is now, explicitly, an anti-LGBTIQA+ party. There are no excuses nor justifications for supporting parties that promote hatred and bigotry. Never Labour
Streeting tells The Sun's Harry Cole that he regrets saying 'transmen are men, trans women are women'

Family unity is a human right. Sign this petition calling for a Gaza Family Scheme to enable Palestinians in Gaza to reunite with their loved ones in the UK until it is safe to return If we reach 100,000 signatures Parliament will have to debate it 👇 https://t.co/RxIqeDLGGV

For example, no Truth Commission has explored the impacts of conflict on asexual people - despite the recent Colombian Truth Commission including an entire chapter on conflict and the LGBTIQ+ community.

Hey it's #InternationalAsexualityDay 🖤🩶🤍💜 Even with recent progress towards recognition of LGBTIAQ+ people in transitional justice, asexuality remains undiscussed, despite people facing discrimination, violence and abuse for their orientation.

There is no such thing as an ethical billionare.
All billionaires under 30 inherited their wealth. They didn't work for it, they didn't earn it. It's time for a tax on wealth.

Even if true (doubt it) this strike of a humanitarian convoy still wouldn't meet the cumulative tests of distinction, proportionality and precaution in attack.
🧵2/9 According to defense sources, the cars were clearly marked as belonging to the organization, but the war room of the unit responsible for securing the route identified an armed man on the truck and suspected that he was a terrorist, sources said https://t.co/7xZRONTDdd

The horrifying details emerging about the World Central Kitchen massacre: The convoy was struck 3 times in succession, with the drone chasing the wounded aid workers from vehicle to vehicle to make sure they were all killed. No legit pretext and precise coordination with the IDF.
The IDF's early explanation re the killing of the World Central Kitchen team is in - per "security sources" speaking to Haaretz. Before we get to the putative pretext for the attack, they also disclose a harrowing detail - the drone bombed the convoy THREE TIMES in succession..

Israel has: - killed Palestinians for walking in the wrong direction - killed Palestinians waving white flags - killed paramedics going to save a dying little Palestinian girl But it is only now, when Europeans are killed, that an independent investigation is warranted. Right.
IDF promises an independent expert and professional body will investigate the death of seven aid workers in Gaza. Comes as former Israeli President Reuven Rivlin warned that Israel is "one step away from international ostracism". In an interview with IDF Radio, Rivlin added:

The construction of sexuality by activists in the UK and US has created new social categories / understandings initially intended to draw attention to inequalities. They can be/ are also obviously then used in constructing their own inequalities and controls

We can also talk about how these things are constructed as a way of confronting inequalities and social controls as well.

Useful thread
When we say something like gender, sexuality, or race is a “social construct,” we don’t mean it isn’t real. Instead, we mean that it only *becomes* real through human interaction. It doesn’t exist in objective reality. It is made to exist through social interactions. (🧵)

The is very welcome. Ireland will intervene in South Africa's case against Israel at the ICJ to argue that restricting food and aid in Gaza may constitute genocidal intent. "We’ve experienced famine, we know what it’s like in our psyche." https://t.co/YjF25EAC9X
