I am standing in solidarity with the trans community at this time they are shamelessly under attack. I am ashamed of the Supreme Court's unjust ruling.

Imagine just half the energy campaigning against trans rights had been put into
- Fighting the underfunding of women’s refuges
- Fighting for single mums
- Fighting for low-paid women
Compared to fighting trans rights, which would have had most impact on women’s lives?

Fair and accessible concessionary travel breaks down barriers to education, training and employment. Read our response to reforms on Pathways to Work tinyurl.com/jm8uc6tp

In response to ‘Pathways to work’ @BusUsersUK is calling for urgent reform of the concessionary bus pass scheme to remove barriers to employment.
Access to transport must be at the heart of reform. Without it, disabled people will continue to face disproportionate challenges.

This is your Pride Month reminder that 'asexual' looks like me. It looks like you. It looks like anyone regardless of their race, gender, style, religion or nationality.

Not entirely surprised, but deeply saddened and I hope people across the sector take action, this is a wider cultural issue and requires everyone to step up.
