Yesterday, we went to @LGBTLabour's social which was held in place of its postponed AGM. There's a lot to reflect on. But one thing is clear: LGBT+ Labour isn't working. In place of action, we got small talk. In place of democracy, we got spin. This isn't working.
I understand that in part it's about safety and also part about customer experience but doesn't this feel a bit dystopian to anyone else?

A TERF, saying "there's no one way to be a woman". They never listen to themselves, do they?!
Thank you! I am delighted to confirm, that with 45 CLP nominations, the backing of the FBU and Disability Labour, I lead the ballot for the Labour CAC Disabled Members Rep. Please get in touch if you would like to support my campaign. #Emily4CAC #NothingAboutUsWithoutUs
What does Avery do to relax? Apparently I have picked up coding and game development - waddleworks-interactive.itch.io/bills-bills-bi…
The very fact that a gender-critical organisation such as @LabWomenDec endorses Ms Stephenson's appointment is clearly a concern not just to trans people but to all human rights advocates. @10DowningStreet @bphillipsonMP @AmnestyUK @libertyhq @ByDonkeys @Channel4News
"Bridget Phillipson... is set to overrule the women & equalities committee and the joint committee on human rights, whose members refused to endorse Stephenson as incoming chair of the EHRC" Sensible course of action by @10DowningStreet & @bphillipsonMP 1 thetimes.com/article/a7da1f…
Huge congratulations to @orgreavejustice for their long years of tireless and inspirational campaigning which has led to this announcement from the government. The miners and their families must get the truth and justice they deserve, that has been denied to them for so long.
ORGREAVE INQUIRY ANNOUNCED! The government have announced an inquiry will take place into Orgreave. Please see and share our press release otjc.org.uk/orgreave-truth…
Great to see @connord_291 in our new Community Hub this afternoon- thanks for coming Connor and taking an interest in our work. #strongertogether
YEEEEAASSSSSSS!!!!!! IN THE 12OTH MINUTE!!! 🔥🔥🔥🔥
KEEEELLLLLLLLYYYYYYYY!!!!!!! 😍😍😍😍
Both teams played great. But as has always been the case for England, we stuck through it with pure grit and determination to come out on top. Come on England! 🏴🌹🥳 #ENGITA #Euros2025 #Lionesses
Another sensational match from the Lionesses. I’m not sure my neighbours are too pleased with me though. #WEURO2025
WE'RE IN THE #WEURO2025 FINAL! 🙌
Thank you @DIsabilityNW for showing me around your new Community Hub this afternoon! Insightful discussions around supported banking and Direct Payments, and Access Cards. DENW do vital work here in #Preston and across the region. Give them a follow and show your support!
@LGBTLabour still hasn’t sent us the Constitution after 140 days, but they had time to remove a member of the committee from their website after 20 minutes. It’s time to change LGBT+ Labour 🏳️⚧️ Join up now ready for their AGM: lgbtlabour.org.uk/lgbt_labour_fu…
It is legitimately sad to see how quickly the Secretary worked to remove Abe from the committee group chat and from our website. 20 minutes. He hasn't given us the constitution after asking 140 days ago, and it took him 20 minutes to reduce one of our best members to "vacant."

It's sad to see you go, Abe. But you're right, this isn't the Party we joined. As Membership Officer for LGBT Labour, you were one of the very few decent people on the committee. Even if they didn't give you access to the membership list. 🤦♀️ Take it easy Comrade. Solidarity.
It’s been the honour of my life to serve Fernhill since 2023. I stood on one promise: Fernhill First 🏡 Today, I’m leaving the Labour Party to serve as an Independent councillor - free from party lines, focused solely on residents. ✊ #FernhillFirst #Independent
Yesterday was meant to be the @LGBTLabour AGM. Instead, they gave us coffee and breakfast sandwiches. I need time to process what happened, but one thing's clear - this is not acceptable. It felt like a distraction. It felt like betrayal. They are not doing anything to help us.
We’re here at the @LGBTLabour social event in London. Nearly an hour past the advertised start time, and still no sign of the committee, except for the secretary. Very telling.
