Thousands of people have complained to Sky News about βexcessiveβ coverage of Nigel Farageβs Reform UK
www.mirror.co.uk/news/politic...
It matters a lot! Where was the coverage? #TransPride
We will never be irrelevant!
Here is our draft letter to the Women and Equalities Committee regarding Rosie Duffield MPβs transphobic conduct.

Hi, itβs Meg again. Brad is still in ICE custody.
We are grateful to the many friends, supporters, and allies who have gathered in Federal Plaza.
Together we are standing up for those with no voice.
If youβre watching @maddow.msnbc.comβs A Block you understand that people who stand up for other people can change the course of those peopleβs lives & our history. We have the power to refuse Trumpβs path forward. Protesting actually works. Letβs go.
The most important story of our time is not what Donald Trump wants to do, but what the people of this country allow him to do.
Going to keep saying it - the Farage effect is largely an illusion. Many, many more people loathe him than like him.
Given how unpopular Starmer is this is quite a reflection on Farage and Badenoch.

URGENT: if anyone has seen or found a huge (A2) sized folder in the parking lot of MCM London, Excel Arena please let me know. We unfortunately left all our A3 prints behind as we were going back home and this is financially devastating.
Please also RT so this can reach further.
Gary Linkeker has been consistently bold, principled and spoken the truth clearly.
The fact the BBC has now placed itself in direct opposition to these values demonstrates the spiral our media is in.
We urgently need reform.
Solidarity, once again, to Gary. βπΌ
@rosatkins.bsky.social is a shining light of unbiased accuracy and fact-based journalism in an organisation where a Kuenssberg, a Mason and a Bruce managed to destroy a lot of publicβs trust in the BBC
www.bbc.com/news/videos/...
BBC weasel Mason, somehow worth Β£260,000 of public money, turns up to press conferences just to ask the most stupid, irrelevant questions imaginable. For that salary, youβd expect journalism, not a talking parrot with a press pass, innit. #ukpolitics
This is truly momentous: UK's Co-op supermarket to remove all Israeli products from shelves.
Is the right really rising in the East?
Despite Reformβs surge, the overall swing in local elections in the East was toward the broad left.
Donβt let the media noise fool you. The right didnβt advanceβit fragmented.

Prime Minister Mark Carney and President Donald Trump smile for a photo while sitting next to each other in the Oval Office, in Washington, D.C.
Thank you to President Trump for inviting me to the White House.
Our meeting today marks the beginning of a new relationship between Canada and the United States β based on respect, built on common interests, and to the transformational benefit of both our nations.
THIS is the act of a true Christian.
Reform are preposterously beatable. This flag policy should be called what it is - a Ukraine flag ban - and be an intense focus of attack from other parties www.theguardian.com/politics/202...
Everything Reform does is twatty. Without exception. If other parties canβt exploit that and discredit them for their nonsense - then what the hell are they in politics for?
β’ Re your article (Labour targets international students claiming asylum after election losses to Reform, 3 May), the insistence of this Labour government on responding to the perceived threat of Reform by aping it on the issues where it is strong is utterly mind-boggling. I don't think any electable party will be more anti-immigration than Reform. The portion of the electorate for whom immigration is the one issue they care about won't be persuaded to vote Labour by it pledging to reduce asylum applications from international students. It's a ludicrous idea and, at best, only serves to reduce the distinction between the two parties. In reality, Reform is weak on almost every conceivable area: the economy, the NHS, Donald Trump, Brexit... the list of vulnerabilities is almost without limit. Yet the government chooses to engage on the only ground on which Reform is sure-footed. It's utterly bizarre. How is a party with five MPs, fewer than 800 local councillors and no actual policies allowed to dictate the agenda in this way? Richard Repper Frome, Somerset
V good letter in The Guardian on Labourβs flailing hopelessness in the face of Reform.
Come on, Labour. The country is crying out for better. Weβre sick of this ugly rightwing agenda. It brings nothing but failure.
Itβs disloyal to your voters and to the country. Youβve got power and time. Use them.
@bphillipsonmp.bsky.social Your statement on trans people having to use toilets that will literally risk them being assaulted mean I will never vote Labour again. A party that is prepared to throw a vulnerable minority under the bus is a disgrace, no matter what rosette they wear.
RIP Pope Francis.., thoughts with his friends and Catholics all over the world.
The conclave is vital now. There's no doubt there'll be interference from the usual suspects with the aim of imposing the most dogmatic and conservative option... and that can't happen.
Pick a decent person please! π
NBC: On Monday, ICE came for a Tennessee resident & his neighbors protected him while he & his daughter sat in his car. They brought them food, water & gas. And when ICE finally left, they formed a human chain to get him & his daughter safely into his house
