Dear Pride Month, It is still Pride Month. Sincerely, An actual Veteran P.s. Normal Americans acknowledge Veterans and their families have 3 months. • April: Month of the Military Child • May: National Military Appreciation Month • November: National Veterans and…

Happy to be one of the "2 million" immigrants who will become eligible for citizenship, but there's no automatic claim. That's bonkers fantasy politics. If 2m decide to apply for citizenship, it'll generate a whopping £5 million in fees that will go straight into govt's coffers.

There’s a VERY good reason asylum seekers get circus tickets and Amazon parcels. But the Mail on Sunday was never going to tell you that. Here’s the crucial detail they left out: 🧵

All the promises built on lies, lies and more lies are starting to implode rapidly. If it weren't for the countless communities that have been devastated by this populist nonsense, it would almost be funny. apple.news/AybqVvjnzQY2s5…

Huge surprise. Not. This could split the Green vote and even the Reform vote if they're populist enough. We shall wait and see.

It's #4thofJuly, and even though I loved volunteering at the @demsabroaduk picnic in London, the fact that Trump's big ugly bill was passed by the House makes the day a lot less cheerful. Millions of Americans will lose their healthcare and food support. Absolutely shameful.

The most Los Angeles sign ever. And it’s true.

The EHRC tried to shut down protest. The High Court said no. I wrote about why this ruling matters and what it says about the state of trans rights in the UK. scenemag.co.uk/outside-the-eh…

Nonsense.

New employees pfft

After nearly 10 years of the same ridiculous language by Farage and the Tories when it comes to Brexit, it all feels a little boring and outdated. We've had zero benefits with Brexit, it's time we realised that and moved on. This deal with the EU is genuine good news.

Today is International Day Against Homophobia, Biphobia, Intersex-phobia, and Transphobia The theme this year is "the Power of Communities" to highlight the strength and resilience that emerges from our collective solidarity. It is much needed in those darkening times #idahobit

Dear @reformparty_uk I heard your ridiculous rhetoric over the weekend about people not working from home. Could you explain why you are advertising jobs working from home when saying hard working council staff should have this taken away? A bit hypocritical some would say.

I have written to the Equality and Human Rights Commission asking them to withdraw their interim guidance on single-sex spaces ⬇️. It goes beyond the Supreme Court ruling, increases risks of harassment and violence to trans people, and is contradictory & confusing. @EHRC please…

Reform couldn't run a bath, let alone a local authority. The way Farage talks about the livelihoods of hard-working council officers is bloody awful behaviour.

Labour has won the Westbourne and Poet’s by-election! Sam Parrott has been elected and will do an amazing job representing the area 🎉🌹 A huge thank you to everyone who took the time to vote and support the campaign. We will continue to deliver for our city 🙌

The best girl there ever was... (1/2)

You're either an ally or you're not, @BarclaysUK. If trans women can't use your toilets, you might want to think about how genuine your commitment to 'true diversity and inclusion' really is.

Just incredible
