I bet every female Labour MP mentioned International Women’s Day and some message of solidarity and yet the reality is very different.

Are any of those outraged (faux lefty) MPs going to actually do something or will there just be another post?

Think Streeting is even slightly left wing? 40 things you should know about Wes… Streeting is pro-privatisation, pro-Israel and his donors include hedge fund managers, big banks, private health investors and arms firms.

Did you know Wes Streeting is limiting the number of NHS training places for doctors, despite the chronic shortage of GPs and hospital doctors in the NHS?
He's a danger to the UK in so many ways.
Here are the receipts πŸ‘‡

People should be REALLY scared by this, it's normalising refusing healthcare to a section of the community for entirely ideological reasons with absolutely no medical reason

If hormones, or puberty blockers, were so dangerous, nobody would be allowed them.

That some people are and that trans kids can even, notionally at least, stay on them if already prescribed, tells you all you need to know.

It's 2026.

Puberty blockers have been banned on the basis of a fake study conducted by a generalist paeditrician.

Hormones for under 18s have been banned on the basis of a fake review conducted by a head injury specialist.

Both remain available for cis kids because that's 'different' somehow

Gilt yields surging, oil and gas prices soaring, wider systemic impact transmitted through food prices and everything else.

Iran didn't need a nuclear weapon to create mayhem. It just needed an idiot US President.

And as for those who backed him- eyes open yet?

Sizewell C is predicted to cost Β£38 billion.

For the same amount of money, you could install solar panels, heat pumps and batteries in 3 million homes.

That would generate energy locally, rather than put massive strains on an already overloaded grid.

Makes you think.

Trans women are women, so excluding them has nothing to do with your statement.

Why punish transgender people for the hypothetical threat of cis people impersonating them?

I don't want to share spaces with bigots. If they don't like inclusivity, how about they just don't use those spaces πŸ€·β€β™€οΈ

This, still, constantly.

No matter how persuasively "AI" talks to you, it still gets basic, ordinary, factual tasks wrong, over and over.

This is not intelligence, and it's a very special brand of stupidity to think it is.

Petition: Write law that a referendum is required for the UK to be able to leave the ECHR The European Convention on Human Rights enshrines our basic human rights, gives us the right to a fair trial, right to privacy and helps protect us from things like torture, unlawful killing, slavery ...

Please sign and share this petition.

The ECHR is integral to the Good Friday Agreement.

Welsh Lib Dem leader Jane Dodds apologises for missing crucial Senedd vote Dodds defended her Senedd voting record after it emerged she had missed 50% of votes in the last two years.

This is awful.

Her 'reason' for missing the vote is that she didn't know there were critical amendments...it's her job to know!

Wales deserves better than this.

True, but there are also millions who didn't vote.

I hope, at the very least, that's a lesson for everyone....extremists will always vote. Sitting on your hands just plays into theirs.

100%. The fact that James I changed the gender of witches from masculine in the Latin, to feminine in his 'translation' speaks volumes.

And that's before we even start on how the same words mean different things over time. A gay party meant something very different to to my nana than it does now.

Tbf, there are quite a few passages in the Bible where Jesus deliberately humbles himself, e.g washing people's feet, hanging about with sex workers, chatting about stuff like 'the meek shall inherit the earth', and the whole, crucifixion thing...

I think Jesus' point was that no one is 'better'.

They throw out a ridiculous lie, so the smaller lie seems believeable.

The Overton Window in the UK has shifted madly right, using the same tactic.

Saying govt should make sure it's citizens have the basics of life should not be seen as radical. That should be the minimum we demand, as citizens.

For those who have forgotten the past 40 years:

Tax cuts for the rich
...don’t trickle down

Boosting military spending
...doesn’t bring peace

Slashing regulations
...doesn’t create jobs

Folks, we’ve seen this all before.

Timeline of Women’s Rights in Britain The road to gaining equal rights for women in Britain has been a long one, and we haven’t reached the end yet. From suffrage to equal pay, reproductive rights to educational parity, women have been…

Some seem to forget that it wasn't long ago many didn't have very basic rights.

If a woman wants to choose a #tradwife role, that's her business.

But do not give up hardwon rights for all in the process.

Preserve the choice.

My mum had to have a signed letter from her husband to be prescribed the contraceptive pill. At a time when married women could not refuse sex with their husbands, and pregnant women/mothers had few rights re work.

We need to shout the truth of those days from the rooftops and shatter the myths.
