Realistically, yes. We have no idea what the family vote was. Manchester council and GMP both said there were no reports from the polling staff. Just feels like a quick way to cover up their loss.
In fact it is quite the opposite. We need to look at the real issues with drugs which are the drug gangs, the ones that are grooming, abusing and manipulating vulnerable children and adults.
It is time to look at our drug laws differently. 4/4

We need to regulate them better and that is what decriminalising drugs does. It allows us to open drug safe hubs, use these drugs in medicine (such as LSD therapy), etc.
Nobody is saying that you will be able to buy drugs like they are sweets. 3/4
Drugs are dangerous and the war on drugs just hasn't worked. So, we need to do something different. Legalising the possession of drugs does seem extreme but it works.
We need to have a more public health approach to drugs. 2/4
🧵 The Green's drug policy is really a great idea, as much as people want to misrepresent it.
As a person that has lost people to addiction and still has addiction in my family, I know first hand the devastating effects of drugs have on a family. 1/4
The greatest thing about the Gorton and Denton by-election is for once the @greenparty.org.uk's policies are finally get some air time.
The elite seem to be scared, especially with the fearmongering.

Leave the party or STFU.
Today is International Day Against Homophobia, Biphobia, and Transphobia.
Today we remember those affected by the ever concerning switch on the LGBTQ+ community.
We will stand together, always.
Stand against the oppressor. Fight for your rights. Fight facism.

They really should but at this point I think that concept is beyond them. 😬
This apology has done nothing. We can see through it like air.
It is clear you do not care. It is embarrassing.
Probably best you just stop.
Classic entitled bootlickers.
She doesn’t know how to. Her and Pride in Labour’s arrogance will destroy them. We don’t want your false prophecy.
Leave the Labour party or stfu. It really is that simple.
“Listening to valid critism…” by that she means listen with her mouth because as soon as you go to criticise Labour, she is already boot licking.
This is in a group chat where someone explains how she silenced someone at a protest organised by her and Pride in Labour.
She is not to be trusted.
With all that in mind, I urge you not support any group associated with the Labour Party, especially Pride in Labour.
Speaking to their co-chair has only told me that they are willing to bend to Labour’s every whim. Still calling it their political home. 6/
These rulings only harm women’s place in society and we are already hearing reports of women being harassed in and outside of single sex facilities.
These rulings haven’t made women safer. They have put them in danger. 5/
Well, I am done. I no longer accept being the scapegoat for the crimes and inequalities that have been created by cis men via the patriarchy.
I stand beside my sister’s whether they be cis or trans. Misogyny affects us all. 4/
Something this government does not want to talk about. We are not allowed to demonise cis men in this country, especially cis white British men. It is the reason we spend so much time on Asian grooming gangs, black on black knife crime, immigration, asylum seekers, and the LGBTQ+ community. 3/
They seek to undermine the Equality Act and the things trans people have actively fought for decades.
All this in aim of what? The “safety of women and children” is the response, but one of the biggest threats to women and children’s lives and liberties are cis men. 2/
Yeah unfortunately there is! It is quite embarrassing tbf.
She lives in the same area as me. She is a “we can turn Labour left from the inside” sort of woman. Even after all this she still calls Labour her political home. We have had a few conversations in which she has essentially stated we stand by her and Pride in Labour or we help no one.
Don’t this was written by Avery she is very much a Labour defender. She does not deal well with criticism and responds to most with arrogance. Not surprising for Labour members but yeah. Do not trust this group.
Ha Karma is a bitch. This has to be a joke right? This arrogance is embarrassing. Maybe when you stop supporting a party that is stripping our rights, you’ll be allowed back. Yet Again Pride in Labour showing its arse. This is embarrassing.
The welfare state is not holding the country back, the inaction to tax the richest in our society is. The country and population are far worse off because billionaires exist. It’s that simple but let’s blame it on mentally ill or disabled people sounds fair enough I guess.
#welfarestate #benefits
This is again relevant! If @teamlabouruk.bsky.social actually listened instead of continuing the war on mental health maybe we would actually get somewhere but I don’t believe we ever will! #mentalhealthmatters #wesstreeting #labourparty
Wes Streeting continuing the attack on mental health is unsurprising for the type of person he is! How he is in charge of our health and healthcare is baffling.
#mentalhealthmatters
Say it with me. If you only care about child sexual abuse when your favourite political grifters do, you don’t actually care about child sexual abuse.
#childsexabuse
The right winger are pretending to care about children again. A majority of CSA victims and survivors? Not important. 5 million children in poverty? Not important. Grooming gangs? Thats the one, only the muslim ones though. We need a inquiry in just that (ignoring the 2022 one). Ridiculous.
Currently, the amazing Dr. Gwen Adshead is doing the Reith lectures about violent crime and her experiences as a psychotherapists who has worked with perpetrators of violent crime for almost 40 years.

There are great points on both sides but I am glad this bill has passed the second reading. It's time we listen to the people this bill would affect.
