Dr Paul Martin OBE, the chief executive of the LGBT Foundation, argued that the Equality Act "isn't adding to Britain's challenges - it's part of the solution".
"Without it, people would have fewer protections against discrimination in everyday life, from work and healthcare to education and public services," he warned.
"Equality isn't a 'nice to have' - it's a foundation for a fairer, stronger and healthier Britain.

Reform: an undeniably racist, misogynistic, transphobic, disability-sceptic party with disturbing links to christofascist MAGA… wants to leave the ECHR and scrap the Equality Act, removing our rights and protections.

Refuk's Braverman: "The working class has had it too good for too long. Leaving the ECHR will allow us to prioritise bosses over their workers."

If you’re working class and think that Farage and his employees in Reform UK ltd have your best interests in mind you can’t be helped. #UKPolitics

ICC judge sanctioned by US urges EU to fight back Nicolas Guillou said the Trump administration’s use of sanctions undermines European democracy and called for Europe to curb reliance on American tech.

French ICC judge Nicolas Guillou was placed under U.S. sanctions last year after issuing an arrest warrant for Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu.

β€œIt has a chilling effect, and it is very much intended,” he told me in The Hague ahead of a Brussels trip🧡

In the last 100 years the tories have been in government for 75 of them and Labour 25. In that time Labour have given us the NHS, the Open University, the Good Friday agreement and Sure Start. In the 75 years of tories, what?

The MAGA-friendly European think tanks Trump wants to fund The Heritage Foundation identified European groups for U.S. backing.

The U.S. is reorienting its foreign funding program to export MAGA ideology to Europe.

And a growing set of far-right and conservative think tanks are lining up to take Washington’s money.

First-time buyers enjoy biggest choice of low-deposit mortgages in UK since 2008 More than 500 deals now offer 95% loans as banks and building societies loosen their borrowing rules

Large increase in low-deposit mortgage availability.

Interest rates, and hence mortgage rates, falling.

Wages increasing faster than house prices.

Maybe some good signs for the future….

In 2023, ministers selected Palantir, a US surveillance technology company that also works for the Israeli military and Donald Trump’s ICE operation, to build an AI-enabled data platform to connect disparate health information across the NHS.

Thanks, Lilbitwytchie. I’m hoping that I can have some minor influence from within. Why can’t we be like Europe where PR is the norm?

This is some of what Labour has done in the last 19 months. What I want is a calm, ordered government that works for the country. Divisive, antagonistic, confrontational politics is harmful. I wish we had PR so all voices were heard.

It’s a shame you’re antagonistic, Lilbitwytchie, as we probably have a lot in common. My own values are much more to the left of the current government. Labour have only been in power for 1/3 of the last 100 years so they need to prove themselves and convince the voters.

This is why I’ve never joined a party before, although I nearly made an exception for Caroline Lucas. Being realistic, you’re never going to find a party that fully aligns with all your values and sometimes the areas that don’t Venn are very hard to swallow.

I’m not an MP, nor am I accountable for all Labour’s policies. Your post is ridiculous. I joined as a measure of support for Starmer who is (like it or not) probably the current best hope of fending of a chaotic change of PM, destabilisation of the country and the enabling of Reform.
