I do @LeftieStats. Mentally ill disabled woman with fibromyalgia ME/CFS. On HRT in my early 30s and loving it. ACAB. Free Palestine β she/her. Communist.
briefly returning to call out this DESPICABLE behaviour by OP. There's so many prejudices here I can't even count. Ableism, misogyny, SWERFism...
This woman has done NOTHING wrong. Calling a disabled woman a faker because she (possibly?) does sex work is vile. Shame on you.
there is no deception here, her personal account *also* shows her standing up, going out to her garden and moving around. She's simply a disabled woman who prefers to keep (allegedly) spicy work separate from her wholesome chungus personal account
She's done nothing wrong
Lot of people in the replies who clearly know nothing about ME/CFS (which is what she has, and what I have, and hers is worse). You can absolutely be fragile, housebound and disabled, and yet find yourself forced do a few things you absolutely have to do in order to survive.
I still think about this post someone made directed at me because the idea that politics has only become vicious "all of a sudden" is so fucking funny and really shows how the author regards politics as a hobby and not a battle with serious stakes for millions of people
Can't believe I went to the effort of making space for them in my seat estimate model, only for it to become entirely unnecessary because they completely disintegrated within months.
bear in mind they were formally founded at the start of December 2025, and died mid-April 2026.
I can't help remembering when Ellie Chowns described this sort of action as a "distraction" and urged people to focus on Reform's economic policies instead. I shudder to think what our party's response to this blatant queerphobia would be if she had won x.com/PeterTatchell/status/2β¦
Reform UK is sabotaging LGBT communities across Britain: defunding Pride festivals, cutting community group funding & banning Pride flags
Now the Reform UK council in Essex is banning libraries from promoting LGBT events
Reform UK is a threat to LGBTs

I'm gonna need to see a lot of contrition from Chowns for her role in championing transphobia and minimising the threat of queerphobia before I'm willing to consider her reliable in any capacity. In my eyes she remains fundamentally untrustworthy.
I know I'm in the minority on this one, but I think people are far too eager to forgive and forget. Politicians often do this (quietly drop unpopular positions without apology) - it does not mean they have abandoned those views, or that they won't return to them later.
"You're saying that you drew attention to war crimes... and Keir Starmer chose to ignore it because he thought you were using it for political purposes?"
"That is just a statement of fact."
@wesstreeting tells @lewis_goodall the PM dismissed evidence of war crimes in Gaza.
Hilarious Community Note.
Me: "Andy Burnham says it is not genocide"
Note: "This is false. What Andy Burnham said is that he refuses to label it a genocide"
π¨BREAKING | Andy Burnham says that Israel's murderous assault on Gaza is NOT a genocide.
The aspiring PM added that he "can't judge" Israel for what they have done.

It is extremely disheartening to see how quickly so many "socialists" are willing to throw the Palestinian people into the meat grinder immediately when offered Starmerism with a northern accent. Same with trans people, disabled people and benefit claimants.
yet another example of how the term "socialist" has been flattened so much that it is meaningless, and why I call myself a communist.
Many "socialists" backing Burnham are really centrist social democrats who care only for centralised state power, not abolishing private property

Right-wing parties won 56% of the vote in Norfolk in May's council elections, making it very unlikely that anyone other than Reform will win, even with the return of Supplementary Vote (SV).
