Tell the ECB to scrap their blanket ban on trans women It didn’t take them long. After years of welcoming trans people into cricket, the England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) rushed through a ban on trans women playing women’s cricket just two weeks after...

Let’s show the ECB how many people want the amateur sport to stay inclusive. Together, we can keep transphobia out of cricket goodlaw.social/525376

Week by week - Laura Kuenssberg is interviewing the party leaders.

When I agreed to come on the show, I was told Nigel Farage was also doing it.

He's now pulled out - and they've sent the deputy instead.

The same Nigel Farage who's refusing to debate me.

A pattern emerging...

TUC calls for new legal protections for trans people following Supreme Court ruling The motion passed unanimously

Since the Supreme Court ruling, there has been a surge of transphobic hate promoted by the far-right and those who seek to divide our communities.

We must resist this rhetoric and bring about true social equality for all.

Given the volume of sign ups for Your Party everyone in the Green Party needs to take a long hard look at themselves and their part in one of the biggest missed opportunities in the British politics in our lifetimes.

Anyone who belongs to any minority group needs to be aware that what is being done to trans people can and will be done to them. In a decade we have been stripped of our rights to exist in public spaces by a press campaign and a well funded lobby.

Is Britain’s Green Party too nice to emulate Reform UK? The party’s next leader will need to turn vibes into votes

"It's a good moment for the party to clarify that we're challenging an unpopular Labour government,” says Mr Polanski. β€œWe are not there to collaborate with them. We’re not there to be disappointed or concerned about them. We are there to replace them.”

Starmer asked to explain why recognition of Palestinian statehood is conditional.

Starmer asked to explain why recognition of Palestinian statehood is conditional.

Because he doesn't believe Palestinian lives are equal to Israeli lives.

Because he's totally lost his humanity in his bubble where he sees peoples lives as bargaining chips.

And because the man is devoid of all principles and compassion.

Next question.

Diane was the first black woman ever to be elected.

This will be her legacy.

The recent Supreme Court decision and the unworkable EHRC guidance it prompted has made it critically hard for trans people to participate in many aspects of day to day life.
It robs them of dignity and privacy.

Do not be fooled into thinking that if you’re LGB and not trans you can preserve your rights by distancing yourself from our trans siblings.
It never works that way.

If like me you are happy to see Zohran win in New York and you want to see that sort of thing in the UK, it's worth knowing that his campaign knocked 95k doors in a week.
That takes lots of people like us volunteering.

So get involved. This is a great place to start:
