A great way to start the year. It's a question of when, not if, the UK rejoins the EU. And the longer we wait, the greater the damage that terrible mistake in 2016 will be.

@joelycett is a national treasure, exposing the rank hypocrisy of celebrities who market themselves as allies of the LGBTQ+ community, and then take money from governments who persecute that community. Thank you, Joe.

This is a really welcome step given the risks stemming from divergent regulation of online platforms. Particularly welcome to see the joint commitment to independence of political influence and to human rights.

On #ComingOutDay, I'm prouder than ever to be a trustee of the incredible @Kaleidoscope_T, which fights every day for the rights of LGBT+ people facing persecution, discrimination and (in 69 countries) criminalisation. Do give them a follow to hear more about their amazing work.
Kaleidoscope Trust@Kaleidoscope_T
In 69 countries, coming out could lead to prosecution. On #ComingOutDay, whilst we celebrate the bravery of LGBT+ people worldwide who come out and live their truth, we also stand in solidarity with many others for whom coming out is not safe.

Watching the protests in Iran and Russia over the last few days has been so inspiring. The bravery of so many in fighting against oppression and injustice, knowing the risk they're taking, is just phenomenal.

A truly horrific statistic. Not only are almost 50 million people trapped in some form of modern slavery, but this represents a 20% increase in just five years. #EndModernSlavery
