It’s uncomfortable to think about now, but Russell Brands YouTube channel had a big impact on me as a teenager learning about left wing politics. This was so well written by Alison J Carr, full of insightful reflections and commentary on misogyny and the far right mirror world
His outsider status and unabashed spiritualism made TV star Russell Brand feel like a kindred spirit to a young Alison J Carr. As his alleged sexual misconduct and alt-right tendencies come to light, she wonders: how did I get him so wrong? https://t.co/yILIJqDMS2

This crushing sentence is exactly why it's so important that abortion is decriminalised in the UK. It's a national scandal that women are being criminalised for seeking healthcare. I send my solidarity to the woman who has been sentenced and her family. https://t.co/x9IuRyyZmL

MPs are currently debating proposed changes to the #EqualityAct, which threaten to roll back hard-won rights. They would exclude trans people from public spaces and allow discrimination to go unchallenged. We must resist this dangerous ideological attack on the trans community.
