It’s just a week now before I head to Nova Scotia to begin my North American tour. Pleased to announce that I’ll be joined on different dates by @CarsieBlanton, @SweeetPetunia, Evan Greer & @Mennovers. bb 🎟️ billybragg.co.uk/giglistings

RT @Care2much18: This is the dumbest tweet ever written by an American, an astonishing achievement given the depth of competition for that…

The US government has joined the 'two-tier policing' debate on the side of Elon Musk, Nigel Farage, Tommy Robinson and Laurence Fox - providing some much needed credibility to everyone on the opposite side of the debate

Hamstead Ponds to remain trans inclusive. 86% of respondents to the consultation back trans inclusion. That's 30,000 supporting trans people compared to 6,000 against trans inclusion. Sex Matters has appealed this a few times & failed every time. theguardian.com/society/2026…

The anti-trans movement are never going to be satisfied. They’ve succeeded in turning the UK into a hostile environment for trans people. That’s not enough, because nothing will ever be enough. Here they’re seeking to public humiliate - and turn into a target - an employee doing his job. The complaint? That there are self-enclosed changing rooms. She claims that this forces women and girls to change in front of men, which is an insane lie. Eventually this insanity will fall apart, because it is insanity. But a cult has been given impunity by our media and political elites, and it will continue to spiral out of control like this.

Reform-led Durham council cut off funding to the annual Pride celebrations. So trade unions launched a fundraiser to save it, eventually raising more money than was cut. Which means this year's Pride will be bigger than ever. In the 1980s, the LGBT community raised thousands of pounds to help striking miners and their families. When we stick up for each other, we can achieve anything.

Naturally, we've been waiting with bated breath to find out what Billy Bragg thinks of the EHRC code, and here it is. TL;DR he's trying to equate single sex spaces - which benefit lesbians and gay men - with Section 28, which prohibited the promotion of homosexuality.

If this is all true, then Robert Kenyon, the Reform candidate in Makerfield, in clearly bonkers & deeply unpleasant, and it's no wonder he was Facebook friends with the self-declared fascist Gary Raikes. Reform's vetting processes seem about as effective as a chocolate teapot.

“A trans man may be excluded from women-only services if it’s decided that women may object to his presence.” And this is supposed to provide clarity?

as a trans man i'm not allowed to use the men's toilet now because it says F on my birth certificate but i'm also not allowed to use the women's toilet because i may cause distress for looking like a man.... WHERE TF DO YOU WANT ME TO PISS????

Trump passed Iran war news clippings to Blanche with "treason" on a sticky note. Nine days later, WSJ reporters received grand jury subpoenas. The journalism being criminalized: reporting that a general privately warned Trump about the war's risks before it was launched.

The most accurate portrayal of the pro-Jim Crow, white nationalist Roberts Supreme Court I've seen yet.

I'm trying to imagine Muslim kids chanting something similar about the Jewish or Christian faiths at a rally in London. The Prevent folks, counter-terrorism police, the entire British media would be all over the story, asking why Muslims are so extreme & brainwashing their kids.

No condemnation from our politicians. No outrage from the media. No action by the police. British Muslims are sent a clear message: You are fair game for hatred.

A cause for national shame. This is the Rainbow Map for LGBTI rights across Europe. Until 2015, the UK was top. We've now collapsed down the rankings - and are the worst in Western Europe. We're now near Albania.

I hope this isn’t true. There are times when it’s more important to put country before party. This is one of them. Burnham’s longstanding commitment to a fairer voting system could transform our democracy & counter dire threat of a Reform UK government theguardian.com/politics/202…

RT @emopunkgrrrl: Have you noticed how quickly terfs turn to the lowest form of misogyny possible when they want to criticise an actual pro…

Ask yourself why you never had about this candidate but you heard about so many Green candidates.

Incredible how every “pro-life” policy actually leads to a large amount of unnecessary death.
