This is my city, the city I came out in, the city I have always considered a safe space. Manchester is supposed to be a progressive, queer city and always has been. It's the queer capital of the north, and we have so much cause to celebrate Hannah Spencer lately too. This is so fucking heartbreaking
They're putting anti trans slogans on the trans flag so that they can say their anti trans messaging while making it like trans rights supporters are doing the violence here. It's intentional.
Likewise.
Like abortions, this only threatens *safe* access to hormones.
Wes Streeting and Keir Starmer are doing nothing to protect trans kids, they are just harming them.
And deliberately so.
I'm sure it's a pure coincidence that all the people who Streeting takes 'expert advice' from have an easily discoverable anti-trans bias.
Tomorrow Wes Streeting will remove trans minors ability to access, and doctors to prescribe, cross-sex hormones.
Try as it might Labour will never eradicate trans people. They cannot, and should not, change who they are. All Labour will do is make trans lives harder - with more harm and more death.
For all the people paid to give opinions on TV who keep wondering why the Greens are surging, here's your answer: have principles and stick to them.
All of this. Plus their makers stole all our work, are trying to change our IP laws to lionise this theft, took a sledgehammer to the creative economy and successfully reframed predictive text generation as the zenith of artistic achievement
Also, the fascism
"Among respondents who reported facing transphobia from family members in the past year, 98% also believed that media narratives had influenced how their relatives treated them."
💯 I am less safe among my own family due to the transphobic shit they read in the NYT, the Guardian, the BBC, the
One of the main reasons I joined the Green Party is because they are the only party ready to take on the criminal racket of landlords and developers that have parts of this country in a chokehold. Vote Green.
saw an interview on the news where @emilythornberry.bsky.social was described as 'left wing'
stop gaslighting us
labour are ferociously right wing. they have no left wing policies. they are neoliberals. neoliberalism is thatcherism
you can't be left wing and a thatcherite
labour are right wing
What the Donald Trump of 2016 would think of the Donald Trump of 2026 will never be known. But they are starkly different figures when it comes to overseas intervention. A
It’s the same guy you dumb shit
in case anyone ever needed confirmation that it's not about building a democratic Iran, it's about collapsing Iran and turning it into a land of rubble that can be bombed every six months
This is the candidate who campaigned in Urdu, and who appealed to the communal fury of Muslim voters, inviting them to “Punish Labour for Gaza”. Let’s not forget she also engaged in a bit of the old dog-whistling by appearing in a video showing Keir Starmer shaking hands with Indian PM Narendra Modi. Translation: you can’t trust Sir Keir – he hangs out with dodgy Hindus.
I don’t think the UK is going to do okay when every day we’re exposed to media that treats us like we’re fundamentally incapable of thought. O’Neill knows he’s bullshitting, we know it, but constant exposure to this moronic mode of thinking hurts all of us
Brendan O'Neill Hannah Spencer combines the spirit of CBeebies with the politics of Gaza The new Green MP campaigned in Urdu and appealed to the communal fury of Muslim voters
Brendan O'Neill Published 28 February 2026 8:00am GMT If Queers for Palestine were a person, it would be Hannah Spencer. No one better sums up the dimness and sheer vacuity of the modern Left than the new MP for Gorton and Denton. There she is in her blue jeans and trendy trainers dancing awkwardly as Muslim men who dream of wrapping her sinful body in a black cloak look on with restrained fury
If we’re ever going to get out of this, the British media class must be destroyed
Labour never learns.
Also, maybe don't wear the imperial officer uniform from Star Wars out in public.
Banner showing the following slogan - Stop killing people you fucking twats.
Yeah they mean to teach the people a lesson instead of taking one and the lesson is Fuck You Cruelty is Good
The world could be such a nice place if we allowed it. It's all so goddamn unnecessary. There's no need for any of it. It's so beautiful here. It should be so cool to be alive
Israel, immediately after vaporizing a bunch of little girls:
THEY MURDERED 60 KIDS IN AN ELEMENTARY SCHOOL YOU FREAK
Trump has launched an illegal regime change war.
As someone who has survived the horrors of war, I know military strikes will not make us safer; they will inflame tensions and push the region further into chaos.
When we abandon diplomacy, we choose destruction.
BBC news editors be like: "Does ANYONE here actually have the phone number for the Greens? Someone must have it surely."
You mean to tell me that after a year and a half of being shat on by the Labour leadership, left wing voters decided to give someone else a go? Labour’s “it’s us or reform” message didn’t work because they’ve echoed Reform’s rhetoric since taking power?
Well I never. Who could have seen this coming
Showing results with Green at 40.7% and Labour at 25.4%
Labour adviser: Keir, we need to divide the country to gain votes. It worked so well in the US
Keir: Erm, ok then.
UK Voters:
What a result!! Huge congratulations to the amazing Hannah Spencer - everyone in Gorton and Denton has just made history. This result shows @greenparty.org.uk can win anywhere, that the politics of hope can win over the politics of hate & there is no longer any such thing as a Labour safe seat 💚
BREAKING: Green Party win Gorton and Denton by-election!

Th whole fucking point it to stop puberty & prevent the kids having to live with damage or pay 10,000s or more undoing it.

So, the idea is only to test puberty blockers on those who have already gone through puberty? Some blatantly Kafkaesque bullshit here.
