I know I’ve got some Labour local gov’t types following me, so I want to say this clearly so that you can share it internally as appropriate: I will never again vote Labour while these policies, or Wes Streeting, are in place. I will not vote Labour at any level because of this.

When Rowling and co were having their infamous Terf brunch, there was an abortion rights protest going on outside. Did they care? They did not

DHS detains US citizen from Evanston at O'Hare, releases her in Wisconsin after nearly 2 days The woman's family said federal agents told them that she was not in custody despite her phone location previously showing her at the Broadview facility.

She literally had her passport with her at the airport and still got detained. AND THEN ICE lied to her family about where she was even though her phone location was being shared.

Yep. Starmer/Streeting/Phillipson have created a conversion therapy system for trans children with the prime intention of harming and killing as many trans children as possible.

I once again find myself telling y’all about our friend who threw a fuck off wedding scale party for their 32nd birthday because why not. there were save the dates, formal invites, venue with plated catering, massive cake, black tie, live band, it was incredible

the weasel word here is “good quality”. you can’t do a double-blind study if the people who get the placebo drop out because they can tell they’re obviously not getting HRT. they rely on obfuscating this

human psychology is a lot easier to manipulate than code, be very careful with anyone asking for credentials

if he doesn't want to be blamed for something he could try not signing off on it?

I'm told some Labour MPs are unhappy with this latest act of hostility towards trans people being blamed on Streeting. That feels silly or naïve. It's happening because Wesley kept in place in the NHS, indeed encouraged, the ideologues that Kemi Badenoch *told us* she introduced to key positions.

That’s fascism for you.
