Good to see Shadow Health Sec Wes Streeting MP, who leads for The Labour Party on its response to the #CassReview , amplifying here its solid evidence base.
He's committed Lab to full implementation in govt.
Our party now needs to break with outliers spreading misinformation like #Stonewall

Another single British man has bought a baby in Cyprus.

BBC News (UK) ran two identical “poor man stranded after buying baby” stories this week.

I hope this is the start of a reverse ferret by a number of foolish irresponsible politicians on #CassReport . We’ve just had a labour MP apologising in House of Commons for misrepresenting Dr Cass’s methodology. Very welcome

From this statement it is clear that Lord Cashman has a very sketchy idea about how equality rights and law work. There is a body of cases which evidence how policies benefiting one group can and do discriminate against another and how you resolve. Pretending o/wise is foolish

Why has Kate Osborne MP just blocked a child #safeguarding group calling for #PublicInquiry into systemic child safeguarding failures The Labour Party? We have not interacted with Kate for a while? Keir Starmer Wes Streeting MP #RestoreSafeguarding #PublicInquiry NOW

🧵On the allegations that UNRWA is linked to Hamas. These allegations have led to several states removing/suspending funding from UNWRA, who play a key role in providing humanitarian aid to Palestinians in Gaza. No real evidence supporting these allegations has been provided.

For #LesbianVisibilityWeek we’d like to highlight the work of our co-founder, Bev Jackson, who has worked tirelessly for decades to give lesbians a voice. Here she is telling Andrew Doyle about the Cass Review, and the harm done to young lesbians.

At work I said It was sad that trans identified men are in the lesbian groups now, either in person or on dating apps. I was investigated and found to be transphobic. As a lesbian I am deeply upset by this I have a court case beginning 31july👇

A harrowing Chronology of Women’s Protests Inside #Afghanistan Since the Taliban Took Over Kabul
August 15, 2021 through August 2023

Palestinian emergency crews say they’re uncovering several mass graves - this, inside the Nasser Medical Complex in Gaza’s Khan Younis on top of several at Al Shifa hospital

As an adoptive parent, I’ve seen how many babies are removed from mothers unable to overcome struggles with drugs or alcohol. Any healthcare professional who encourages vulnerable, testosterone-addled girls to get pregnant is complicit in profound abuse of both mother and baby.

Women's march against pornography.
Manchester Sunday 19th May.
All women welcome to join us for the march and speeches spelling out the dangers of pornography.

For all those who are following the shocking persecution of the great scholar, humanist, feminist and Palestinian Nadera Shalhoub-Kevorkian read all her writings, keep advocating for her freedom and safety, and listen to what she actually said on our podcast and see how those

Left silences right, right silences left. “Two conferences in two European cities. Two attempted bans (though only one successful).Two different responses from politicians and the media. All of which tells us something about the state of free speech today” theguardian.com/commentisfree/…

Quick weekend job, do it now, write to your MP & back the call for #PublicInquiry into systemic #safeguarding failures,

So shocking - and also depressing to see so few women talking about this here.
10,000 women killed by Israel in Gaza, a war on women indeed.

Really good letter in today’s Observer relating to the role of the psychology profession in relation to how badly gender questioning children have been failed by the NHS.
