A cause for national shame.
This is the Rainbow Map for LGBTI+ rights across Europe.
Until 2015, the UK was top.
We've now collapsed down the rankings - and are the worst in Western Europe.
We're now near Albania.

I hope this isn’t true. There are times when it’s more important to put country before party. This is one of them. Burnham’s longstanding commitment to a fairer voting system could transform our democracy & counter dire threat of a Reform UK government theguardian.com/politics/2026/…

Have you noticed how quickly terfs turn to the lowest form of misogyny possible when they want to criticise an actual progressive woman? Attacking a woman’s appearance (her freedom of expression, mind you) after she’s just made HISTORY reveals what phoney “feminists” you lot are.

Ask yourself why you never had about this candidate but you heard about so many Green candidates.

Incredible how every “pro-life” policy actually leads to a large amount of unnecessary death.

Ask yourself why we heard so much about Green candidates but not Reform candidates like this one:

200,000 people in 8 years. That is only 0.29% of the UK population over 8 years.
Yet it’s in the news every single day.
In that same time 4,000,000 people have emigrated away from the UK (twenty times as many people).
The news is in league with Farage. Sadly it’s working.

He was right wasn't he? And of course it was Harold Wilson who famously said that the 'The Labour Party is a moral crusade or it is nothing'.
David Graeber Institute@Graeber_social
"The Labour Party under Keir Starmer will abandon its core idealism and principles and won't even gain tactical advantage. It will be a party which gives no one a reason to vote for it, and no one will, in fact, vote for it." - David Graeber (from 2020)

I’ve lived under a Reform led council since June. They’re on the brink of losing control due to councillors leaving, sackings and suspensions all within less than a year. All these new seats will do is expose to people their incompetency. They will absolutely implode before 2029.
Mabintou@mabintou
I do feel like Reform will implode before the general election.

National polling found just 2% of people think trans is a national issue.
Women 18-50 are supporting the pro trans Green Party.
Linehan’s claim that the government is scared of the tiny number of trans people is bullshit. Businesses won’t spaff money on a retirement hobby.

The far right doing Nazi salutes at a Jewish politician in the street is the wrong kind of antisemitism, don’t you see?
Sarah Ludford 🇬🇧 🇮🇪🇪🇺 🇺🇦@SarahLudford
We’re all getting very tired @ZackPolanski of you parroting that you are ‘the only Jewish party leader’ as if that was a let-you-off-the-hook reason to absolve you from tolerating and even incubating rabid antisemitism in your party

On the left, published in @thetimes today, on the right, published in Nazi Germany in the 1930s. Antisemitism is firmly rooted in the British political and media establishment, where it has always been.

People like Brendan and his followers generally speak very fondly of Caroline Lucas, they like her, because she's got a nice smile & a posh voice. But from all her years in Parliament you'd struggle to find a single issue on which Lucas voted/argued differently to Corbyn.
Brendan May@bmay
I feel for the Greens. They’re really 2 parties. The original core is basically dark green purist environmentalism - intense and wildly idealistic, but decent people. The new intake is mainly enraged Momentum Corbynites. Polanski doesn’t know what he is. It will collide horribly.

Nigel Farage has been accused by multiple people he grew up with of extreme antisemitic comments and behaviour.
Yet he's allowed to present himself as a champion of Jewish people.
Meanwhile, our only Jewish leader, Zack Polanski, is smeared - because he opposes genocide.
Paul Brand@PaulBrandITV
Nigel Farage is in Golders Green this morning, where he is claiming that sources have told him IRGC operatives have crossed the channel in recent weeks. He brushes off claims about his past alleged comments about Jewish people and says community can trust him to keep them safe.

How radicalisation works
In 2020 most "gender criticals" said that they respected trans people they were just concerned about single sex spaces
In 2026 they think trans people should be banned from jobs, they're all perverts and all legal protection should be be removed.

Lots of accounts on this site are financially rewarded for spreading lies and convincing you that everything is getting worse and you should be afraid. The good news is it's not: homicides in England and Wales are their lowest level in five decades and killings involving a knife are at their lowest recorded level
BBC News (UK)@BBCNews
Knife killings down by 21%, figures show bbc.in/4u8gAzi

ADF International is a “conservative Christian legal advocacy group that actively opposes LGBTQ+ rights, including same-sex marriage and equality measures, operating globally to influence laws on marriage, family, and sexuality”.
This is who Sharron Davies has partnered with.

funny thing is that this isn't even true about muslims
