I'm very happy and excited!
A group of women, facing away from the camera, working as a team on sewing a number of pieces of fabric together. They are in a church. One woman is sat at table, using a sewing machine.
A woman holds a flag which she has decorated with appliquΓ©s and embroidery to say "Always was", out of respect for the First Nation people of Australia.
A number of England flags and Union flags laid out together on the floor of a church. They have been joined together to form part of a larger project.
A hand holds a flag that has been decorated with appliquΓ©s and embroidery.
I spent yesterday working on This is England with some fabulous people. It's a community sewing project, intended to send a message of inclusion and welcome led by @emilypeasgood.bsky.social and funded by ArtCry.
Our strength comes from diversity.
"Men" wouldn't allow me to wear trousers to school in the UK in 1978 when I was seven years old and my legs were cold in winter. "Men" can get in the sea about it
Absolutely correct on all counts, and right that Ukraine be listened to with respect. So, since the exact arguments can be made about Palestine and Israel, why is the world expecting Gazans to shut up and take it?
Yeah? Well, I see your "swastikas are not hate symbols" and I raise you "trial by jury is too expensive so we're scrapping it".
Today, on Transgender Day of Remembrance, we remember the transgender lives lost to violence. The Green Party stands shoulder to shoulder with transgender people in the face of increasing transphobic rhetoric in our society and politics.

A Government of cowards.
Rather than tackle inequality - they've gone for pensioners, disabled people and now it's people fleeing war and persecution.
They can't get away with this.

Dismantling the myth that we live in a meritocracy is one of the most urgent changes needed".
Poverty inflicted on the masses whilst wealth and power is concentrated in few hands.
50 families have more wealth than half of the UK population.
Political system bought by the rich.
Tax the rich.
Not even that would make me vote for them again, they're finished.

Pfft.
We want the media and politicians to recognise that there is a large number of women who are supportive of the trans+ community. We call on them to report truthfully about the sources of violence against women and to address the systems that perpetuate harm. notinourname.org.uk/petition/not...
I finally joined this week. The Greens are the only hope and Zack is the only credible UK political party leader right now.
Golf courses are right there, begging to have houses built on them
The reason the Right are so invested in the myth that the arts have no value isnβt because the arts donβt generate wealth (they do); itβs that studying the arts teaches people to imagine better ways of judging the value of an idea than by counting how much money it makesβ¦
Hi, hum..everything dies
Just a reminder π
"Real pride comes when you no longer hide who you are"
This story is now big news all over the world... except in the UK.
To be fair, I think Reform are getting some help from Likud
The UK 'just protecting children'
"Teachers say trans pupils 'limiting food and drink' to avoid school toilets"

I've just used Good Law Project's tool to tell Keir Starmer that his ID scheme is a recipe for repression. Will you do the same? goodlaw.social/364f2b
This bloated weasel can shove his compulsory ID where his farts can play it like a trumpet.

A grotesque display of opulence from the world's elite. Billionaires feast on taxpayer funded banquets while they back a genocide and burn the world.
But sure, migrants are the problem.
Looks pretty North American, from here in the UK, where we are at most, two steps behind you in the rush to fully embrace fascism
