Campaigning for democracy, human rights, LGBTI+ liberation, social & global justice since 1967. Views are my own & may not reflect those of the PTF
I’ve reluctantly verified our account. I hate supporting illiberal figures like Elon Musk, but the X algorithm seems to work against human rights organisations & activists. Our engagement has dropped significantly & we can’t let our voice be silenced. #HumanRights…
Majority of Americans think gender transition ‘morally wrong’, poll shows - more wrong than wearing fur & medical tests that harm animals Same anti-trans trend in UK. DANGER! We're losing the battle for trans rights! Time to rethink our campaigns? thepinknews.com/2025/07/23/tra…
New UK survey finds some trans & non-binary people are facing ‘hurdles’ in accessing healthcare They report misgendering, disruptions to prescriptions & loss of access to previous NHS records. SHAME! thepinknews.com/2025/07/25/new…
.@Lavernecox deserves praise for her honesty & courage in revealing that an ex-boyfriend was a MAGA-supporting cop. She did not know that at the outset of the relationship The backlash against Laverne is an ugly intolerance that harms the LGBT+ movement thepinknews.com/2025/07/23/lav…
Support a Palestine state AND oppose Hamas! The Palestinian Authority supports a two-state solution. Netanyahu does not. Israel is the roadblock to a two-state solution. SHAME!
France is planning to recognise the state of Palestine. Meanwhile, Keir Starmer has described the starvation in Gaza as “unspeakable and indefensible” but still won't DO anything. Recognising the state of Palestine is the least our government can do.
Civilians in Ukraine are under fire in record numbers as Russian attacks surge 💥🇺🇦 But Stop The War want to leave Ukraine defenceless by cutting western weapons supplies, which would mean Russian conquest & the imposition of a pro-Putin puppet regime news.un.org/en/story/2025/…
Coming out as trans can be a struggle for the person & their loved ones But sometimes, love breaks through all barriers Like this one trans man whose dad, despite initial challenges, shared a beautiful, tender dance with him at his wedding. BRAVO! lgbtqnation.com/2025/07/my-dad…
NEVER FORGET: 1945 Labour government introduced NHS, Welfare State & bought key industries into public ownership. BRAVO! BUT it also used troops to crush unions & waged savage colonial wars to crush independence movements In Malaya, Labour massacred our war-time allies MPAJA
#OtD 26 Jul 1945 the UK Labour Party took office after a landslide victory. Often mythologised as great socialists, within days they used conscript troops against a dockers' go-slow, and continued brutal colonialism overseas. More info here: stories.workingclasshistory.com/article/9829/l…
Solidarity with the trans community today at #TransPrideLondon Both trans women & non-trans women suffer misogyny, domestic violence, hate crime & sexual assaults Unite to protect ALL women!
Thousands of trans and non-binary people are expected to flood the streets of central London tomorrow, along with their supporters, for London Trans+ Pride. The theme this year is Existence and Resistance, in response to the UK Supreme Court ruling in April, that women should be…
Horrific: A video shows two Palestinian children sitting in a dumpster, eating from the trash. Humanity has failed in Gaza.
There are no policy differences between the new left party & @TheGreenParty So why have a new left party? If it happens, both parties must work together & have electoral pacts so they don’t split the progressive vote, which would aid Labour & Reform huffingtonpost.co.uk/entry/zack-pol…
.@BirminghamPride bans police from marching after West Midlands chief refuses to apologise for past homophobic witch-hunts In the 70s & 80s the force arrested hundreds of gay & bi men for consensual victimless acts, like kissing & chatting up each other birminghammail.co.uk/news/midlands-…
Nationwide CEO £7m pay package declared ‘obscenity’ during AGM. Members still approved it, probably by erroneously handing proxy votes to chairman. Govts tell workers wage rises are inflationary; do nothing to control exec pay, dividends, share buybacks. theguardian.com/business/2025/…
UN human rights chief criticises UK Palestine Action ban “It limits the rights of people supportive of Palestine Action who have not themselves engaged in any criminal activity but rather exercised their right to freedom of expression” bbc.com/news/articles/…
Hamas thugs beat up Palestinian journalist Omar Abed Rabou in Gaza with iron bars No press freedom or freedom of expression in Hamas-controlled Gaza Hamas is a sexist, homophobic, antisemitic dictatorship that oppresses Palestinians
🚨 BREAKING: Hamas militias once again attacked Palestinian journalist Omar Abed Rabou in Gaza—beating him with iron rods. He is now in the hospital receiving treatment for his injuries.
Pakistan is unlawfully detaining peaceful Baloch women’s rights campaigners. Set them free! Freedom for annexed & occupied #Balochistan! Pakistan out!

Great to see this from @ZackPolanski 👏 United, we stand; divided, we fall.
I condemn Israel's killing of 870+ Palestinians queuing for food & its use of food as a weapon of war Children are dying of hunger Isreal has ethnically cleansed 86% of Gaza, forcing 2 million people into an area of 20 sq miles WATCH 2hr 7 min 16 sec youtube.com/watch?v=yqBZkp…
On Colden Water. Walking in the hills above #HebdenBridge this afternoon near Jack Bridge Some R&R before Happy Valley Pride tomorrow I speak at 4pm on Saturday in the Little Theatre. All welcome @appyvalleypride
It’s time to remember why the LGBT+ movement began: not to conform to society as it was, but to change society to benefit everyone, LGBT+ and straight 🏳️🌈✊ Assimilation was never the goal. We wanted liberation from all oppression lgbtqnation.com/2025/07/its-ti…
I support Hamit Coskun’s appeal against his conviction for burning the Quran in a political protest against Islamism in Turkey I would not burn any book but freedom of expression includes the right to dissent, even in disagreeable ways secularism.org.uk/news/2025/07/n… via @NatSecSoc
