The Greens will make you poorer, yes. But only if you’re a tax dodging billionaire (like the ones who own the press you read).

@writethewrongs2 Its alright for the Greens though. Their mps tend to come from areas what dont get affected by their demands. My hometown is Scunthorpe. Thousands of job losses there if the Greens had their way. Other such areas as well. Greens dont care about them

I would hope that considering the enormity of the subject MPs from all parties would be attending. The Greens know the true cost of this. Others have their heads in the sand!

A National security assessment, partially released in January, warns that “Every critical ecosystem is on a pathway to collapse”. The climate and nature emergencies are the most pressing issues of our time. So why isn't this top of the government's agenda?...

The govt's ban on new oil and gas licences is just lip service for as long as it plans to introduce ‘tiebacks’. This loophole allows *new* drilling, by connecting new sites to existing ones. This is indefensible when every drop of oil or gas burned puts our future further at risk.

@AdrianWhitby2 This is a serious question, how many trans teenagers do you think are actively using being trans as a way to enter the girl guides and invade the spaces of non-trans teenage girls?

Genuine pisstake that Transgender girls are being forced to leave the Guides by September. It’s the fucking Guides!! Inserting culture war nonsense into it is so pathetically pointless.

@jakonian Nope....but people who have dicks shouldnt be in the private areas of adolescent/vulnerable girls. Grew up in a family what fostered up to a professional level so i know how fragile some can be

@fletcherkathy8 I'm not the one demanding anything, girl guides should get to decide who they admit as members, including trans kids. Why are you demanding they do as you want?

@daniellismore When i grew up my family fostered children at a professional level. Some of those girls were troubled adolescents who had been through troubled times. Those kids needed their own private spaces and would have hated sharing with males

I posted about the 46 children who ended their lives following the puberty blocker ban in the United Kingdom. Some of the responses I received were from people blaming the parents. To those people I want to say something and I want to say it clearly. I hope your children are transgender. I hope your grandchildren are transgender. I hope your brothers and sisters have transgender kids. I hope there is a transgender person somewhere in your family close enough that you cannot look away. I do not say this to hurt you. I say it because it is the only education that seems to reach people like you. Not statistics. Not the names of 46 dead children. Not science. Not grief. Personal proximity. Transgender people are full of life and love and every quality that makes us human. They are not a tragedy. They are not a cautionary tale. They are people. When you meet one in your own family you will discover that. Some of you will discover it too late. Only around one percent of the population is transgender so the odds are not in my favour here. But I hold out hope. Not as a curse. As a wish. That you might one day sit across a table from someone you love who is transgender and remember what you wrote in a comment section about 46 dead children. Remember what you said about their parents. Then sit with that. I wish you all the best. I genuinely do. I know two people who were gender critical one of them had a transgender kid some years later after their hate campaign and they cannot forgive themselves and another lady I know who has a niece who is transgender and they realised all the hurting pain. They caused other people and they changed their mind and they started advocating for transgender people. I hope that’s your path too. Maybe one day you might act human enough to understand what I’m saying. But until then. You’re a cruelness kills. Your hate campaign kills children. Your rage towards people you will never even try and understand ends lives and makes families and miserable. So yes, I hope your kids are transgender. They will still be the greatest gift to your life that you ever had. But you might just think differently.

My brother is an electrician who works in offshore wind. He sent me this photo of the largest turbine installation vessel in the world. Skilled jobs, good pay, & secure futures. While fossil fuels shed jobs & destroy the planet, renewables are delivering for the working class.

Groups & clubs such as Girlguiding, the Women’s Institute, and the Hampstead Ponds want to be inclusive of trans people, yet they are being relentlessly intimidated by well-funded, well-connected anti-trans lobbyists determined to force them into adopting trans-exclusive policies
Janet Murray@jan_murray

I understand that some of the activists within Girlguiding are unhappy that I didn’t write a ‘positive’ story about their campaigning. That’s despite being informed of the concerns raised - and being given the opportunity to comment, which they did. What’s striking is that the focus now appears to be on ensuring I’m “punished”for reporting on it - rather than reflecting on the substance of those concerns, or whether this kind of activity is appropriate within an organisation for children and young people. It’s a pattern we’ve seen repeatedly in debates around gender ideology: challenge the reporting - rather than engage with the issue. Girlguiding has told both The Sunday Telegraph and GB News it “cannot comment” on the activities of an external group. But Guiders Against Trans Exclusion (GATE) is not entirely external. It includes active Girlguiding volunteers - including individuals involved in leadership and advisory roles. Girlguiding’s own volunteer Code of Conduct makes clear that volunteers must not misuse their position, must maintain appropriate boundaries and must act in the best interests of girls and young women. That raises an obvious question: can activity of this kind really be considered separate from the organisation?

My mummy has to sleep on her back, propped up at 40 degrees for a while. Last night I tried to jump on her, so she put a pillow over her chesticles & then I tried to sleep on that but she said it hurt, so I slept on her stomach with my head on the pillow #Helpful

When TERFs touch it, it breaks and backfires on them. This is what it means when the TERF imposed circle tightens. The target was never only trans people. The Manchester Women’s Institute story is one example of the spillover. A local branch closed after conflict around national policy on transgender inclusion. Members described the situation as being pushed into gender policing dynamics that fractured the group and made continuation impossible. What had once been a social space became an arena of surveillance and division. That pattern is not isolated. When identity becomes something to audit, everyone becomes inspectable. Across multiple countries there are now documented waves of what activists and researchers describe as “transvestigation.” Ordinary women are scrutinised online and offline for bone structure, height, voice, muscle tone, or facial features. The targets are often cis women who simply fall outside narrow stereotypes of femininity. The mechanism is identical every time. A rigid definition is introduced. The definition cannot accommodate natural variation. The system begins to flag the majority. The bathroom space has become one of the most visible flashpoints. Advocacy organisations and equality researchers have repeatedly warned that policies encouraging appearance-based gatekeeping create environments where women challenge other women. The effect is not safety. It is suspicion. Women with short hair. Women with strong jawlines. Athletes. Disabled women. Women of colour whose bodies are already hyper-scrutinised. Older women with deeper voices. Young girls who have not yet developed stereotypical secondary sex traits. All become potential suspects. This is the predictable outcome when gender is reframed as something visually testable. No test exists. Biology does not provide one. So communities improvise. They stare. They whisper. They question. The Women’s Institute conflict illustrates how this logic corrodes institutions from within. A community organisation built on mutual support fractured over enforcement of a boundary that cannot be operationalised without interpersonal harm. The branch did not collapse because of transgender inclusion alone. It collapsed because members were placed into a position where they were expected to assess each other. That expectation is structurally destabilising. There are parallel examples emerging in sport, education, workplaces and online spaces. Women have reported being stopped in bathrooms. Challenged in gyms. Accused on social media. Analysed frame by frame by strangers. The very policing rhetoric introduced to exclude a minority begins to envelop the majority. This is how moral panics expand. They do not remain targeted. They create diagnostic cultures where belonging must be constantly proven. The irony is stark. Movements framed as protecting womanhood are producing environments where womanhood itself becomes conditional. The lesson is simple and historically familiar. When a system requires ordinary people to categorise one another in daily life, trust erodes. Social spaces shrink. Participation declines. Organisations fracture. The Manchester branch closure is not just a local disagreement. It is an early institutional symptom of a wider cultural shift toward identity surveillance. The warning sits in plain view. If belonging requires inspection, belonging stops feeling safe. And when safety disappears, communities disappear with it.
