Bradgate Park is the best, especially in the sunshine😍
The irony of colouring this after I’ve only spoken to a plumber and a delivery driver in person today🤣
eight years ago today we all watched the glory of zendaya falling madly in love with tom holland and the internet was never the same
This is maga rule folks.
Currywurst is high on my list, along with schnitzel and sacher-torte haha. Also, a chimney cake in Prague even though I know they’re Hungarian in origin🥲
Recommendations for Cologne, Prague and Vienna please!
I’m also spending an afternoon in Salzburg before going to the market town my Großmutti grew up in. I haven’t been to Austria since Covid, so I’m buzzing for this summer🫶🏻
It’s worth following Lee for his tracking of this (and generally). If you don’t spend a lot of time flicking through physical papers it may astonish you just how many anti-trans stories they print, and how weak the spin on many of them is. It’s a relentless moral panic.
The East Midlands’ NPYW Regional Conference is taking place over the May Day weekend, culminating in the Chesterfield march.
Are you 35 and under and/or in your first three years of teaching? This will be a great weekend of activism and networking. Register below!

LGBT+ LIB DEMS STATEMENT On the Supreme Court ruling, 16/04/25 Like many, we are disappointed and deeply concerned by today’s Supreme Court judgement, which marks a significant and troubling shift away from decades of settled legal precedent. By redefining sex in law as “biological” — a term with no clear legal or scientific consensus, and one that does not reflect the lived realities of many people, the ruling introduces confusion and instability into our legal system, which has treated “sex” and “gender” as interchangeable for decades. We are concerned that this creates an unsatisfactory ambiguity around how people with various endocrine and intersex conditions should be treated, how Gender Recognition Certificates can be obtained and given their intended force in law, and many other areas. This ruling undermines established protections for trans+ people. Attempts to define sex biologically risk rolling back hard-won rights for all women, not just trans+ women, which is why Liberal Democrats oppose them. However, nothing in this judgement means that trans+ women can or should be regularly excluded from women's services and spaces. The law still says that trans+ people should not be excluded without a proportionate and legitimate reason. (Continues - )
(- continues) As LGBT+ Liberal Democrats, we will not stand by in silence. We don't think Britain is the sort of country where people should have to show their 'papers, please' in order to use the loo. The fight for trans+ equality continues, and we will never stop standing up for our trans+, non-binary and gender non-conforming communities, and all communities under our wonderfully diverse LGBTQ+ umbrella. We are proud to be in the most progressive party across Great Britain for LGBT+ rights. Lib Dems seek to uplift individuals and their communities, and help them to be the best they can be, free to be who they are. We believe people when they show us who they are. We celebrate diversity, and do not support efforts to legislate in ignorance to enforce conformity. We remain steadfast in our commitment to dignity, safety and justice for all. Ever yours, The Executive Committee LGBT+ Liberal Democrats
Statement from us on today's ruling:
"As LGBT+ Liberal Democrats... we don't think Britain is the sort of country where people should have to show their 'papers, please' in order to use the loo. ...we do not support efforts to legislate in ignorance to enforce conformity."

Fantastic to hear from Nadia Whittome MP at the @neueastmidlands.bsky.social ITT/ECT conference!
“When education is under funded, undermined and even attacked, the ripple effect goes wider than schools […] we must remain vigilant”
“None of these things were gifted to us, they were fought for”
I’ve run myself into the ground this week. Spotted this whilst walking through Lboro earlier and it made me stop for a moment🤞🏻
Erm so March has been quite eclectic so far???

New dating app low
Guy: “what’s something I wouldn’t know from your profile?”
Me: “I’m obsessed with women’s football”
Guy: *unmatches me*
Made the mistake of redownloading a dating app and a guy ended our conversation because I said I’m staying with my grandparents this weekend…
Are men okay?
