..the fact Mahmood is using precisely the same sort of deliberately misleading language as Goodwin, Jenrick, Lam and Farage tells us all we need to know about how acceptable/fair she thinks her policies actually are to Guardian readers/the British public.
Newsome is Starmer MKII. The UK & US are finished
Britain isn't a Christian country.
In the 2021 census 46% of England and Wales was Christian.
In the 2022 census 39% of Scotland was Christian.
It fell by over 10% in the previous decade. It is likely even lower today.
The Christian religion is a minority community with disproportionate power.
Maybe Wes will be as good a pal to Mandelson as Mandy was to Epstein and keep writing to him when he's incarcerated.
Pretty sure though Wes is going to now work even harder to distance himself to attempt to save himself- good luck with that!
Manchester Women's Institute to fold after members quit over new transgender ban

Just deeply unserious reporting from the BBC here, both on the politics and the numbers
No mention of Trump/ICE and what deporting hundreds of thousands of people actually look like; and no scrutiny of Reform's entirely fictional/fantasy numbers

REFORMUK 92% Funding from ex-Tories 100% MPs are ex-Tories Party Leader is ex-Tory Deputy Leader is ex-Tory Scottish Leader is ex-Tory Welsh Leader is ex-Tory 100% MSPs and MS are ex-Tories Over 80% Councillors are ex-Tories Farage says "Never Trust a Tory" So don't let a new logo and different shade of blue fool you...
PSA:
For those voting Reform because they “hate the Tories”…
A GPAHE report shows how Ireland’s far right has evolved beyond street protests, blending conspiracy theories, religious nationalism, and imported U.S. extremist narratives to build networks that have influence far beyond their electoral weight and increasingly resonate with far-right groups abroad.
The reality distortion field that has gripped this country, it's media and its establishment must take a lot of coordination, concerted effort and above all money flows to maintain, and that can't last forever.
Some time the field will collapse and some people are going to become very visible.
Yup
Reform have nothing to offer but divisive hate. Blaming migrants and communities struggling to get by.
Hannah Spencer understands Manchester, she knows the value of work and will actually get things done.

Under a new policy released Thursday, the Trump Administration will test conversion therapy on trans people in prisons. It explicitly states that it aims to help trans people “recover,” all the while forcibly detransitioning them both medically and socially.

'When a trans person commits violence, their gender identity is often framed as evidence of the collective threat of transgender people, while the more prevalent pattern of cisgender male-perpetrated violence is attributed to individual factors'

This is a great article from Helen Webberley, and an excellent read ⬇️
The calls for trans people to be quieter as we're wiped out are only going to increase, and you owe it to your sisters and brothers to get louder and louder.
EHRC believes it's frontier times. Demanding satisfaction.
Gangsters dressed up as a human rights organisation.
I'm just annoyed the BBC are not calling him a 'biological prince that now identifies as a commoner' for clarity. I may submit a complaint.

If Britain had a functioning fourth estate, Reform would not exist. To put it another way, the collapse of journalism directly enabled this firm of spivs and charlatans to lie their way to prominence.
Henry Shelford, chief executive of charity ADHD UK: it is "hateful and cruel how badly the overall NHS treats people with ADHD”.
Interesting and factual. In stark contrast to the hostile BBC propaganda last week

For fucks sake don't link to The fucking Sun harassing an individual, named trans woman. What's wring eith youse?
A screenshot of a BBC News article quoting Dr. Hilary Cass regarding gender identity in children. The text includes: * Cass praising government guidance for schools in England and advising caution for young children starting the transition process. * A quote stating that if children socially transition too early, they may "get locked onto a trajectory that may not have been the correct natural trajectory for them". * An explanation that the increase in gender dysphoria is "complex" and influenced by a cultural context where people are "less locked into gender stereotypes". * A statement suggesting children are misled by the belief that non-typical gender behaviors or same-sex attraction automatically mean they are trans, when these are "normal variations". * A closing quote suggesting young people are given a narrative that they must be "absolutely typical of the other girls on Instagram".
She has the gall to praise the new school guidance banning social transition and requiring a doctor's oversight to get a haircut and change names but then complains that there's too much pressure to conform to gender stereotypes.
If you want to understand why the BBC's stance on trans rights - only platforming cis people (and only those with a sceptical perspective) - is so outrageous imagine if it only platformed men talking about women's rights (and only those with a sceptical perspective).
Its terrifying that the UK is a place where going to work as trans could lead to a national harassment campaign
Leave her alone you fucking ghouls. She did nothing wrong.
I understand the issue perfectly. Its about employment, not going to the pub. You need to stay focused
