Can’t believe it’s taken me so long to watch this! Family are from the Garw, spent lots of summers walking the path over the old Pont-Blaengarw section, and was once taken to see the new steam loco at the shed by my nan’s old colleagues. Thank you for highlighting this wonderful line and place!

Horrified and appalled by the attack outside Heaton Park Hebrew Congregation Synagogue on Yom Kippur, the holiest day in the Jewish calendar.

My thoughts are with the victims, our brave emergency services and the entire Jewish community.

There has been a lot of speculation over the past 24 hours regarding my removal as the Liberal Democrat Spokesperson for Women and Equalities and Scotland. I can now confirm I have been removed from that position, and have shared my response below.

I really do need to leave Twitter but damn, seeing the response moments like Elon’s career blowing up still just have such a different vibe on there

Every single queer person I follow has spoken out against the ruling today, and yet you’ll see respected journalists saying how it’s a relief to lesbians and gay men.

They’ll then call social media an echo chamber and at no point think about it for more than ten seconds.

The UK Supreme Court overlaid in the colours of the trans pride flag — blue, pink and white. Overlaid bold text reads “TRANS WOMAN = WOMAN”. In the top left corner is the LGBT+ Liberal Democrats logo, and along the bottom is a small line of text: “Promoted by LGBT+ Lib Dems, 1 Vincent Square, London SW1P 2PN.”

We are studying today's judgement by the UK Supreme Court.

Nothing they rule will change our solidarity with the trans+ community and with everyone who seeks to live their lives under control of their own bodies, and free from poverty, ignorance or conformity.

Democracy works best when everyone gets a seat at the table.

We know today may feel especially heavy for our trans and non-binary siblings.

LGBT veterans thrown out of armed forces to receive up to £70,000 The defence secretary will announce a 50 per cent rise to the financial recognition scheme for soldiers who were discharged because of their sexual orientation

Glad the financial recognition scheme for soldiers discharged because of their sexuality will increase by 50%. This is a huge step in acknowledging past injustices for those treated unfairly but the pay out needs to be commensurate to the injustice.

The people who’ll be reached by the TikTok account will be entirely different to the people reached by policy strategy however!
