Somebody asked me today why I was wearing a pride bracelet if I’m straight and I pointed out their Red Sox cap doesn’t make them a member of the team

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.

Taking back the flag from people who paint roundabouts and couldn’t run to catch a bus…

'Aren't Arabs terrified? Don't Arab women weep when their children are bombed?' Tony Benn remains as relevant as ever.

A single firework has the power to distress thousands of animals - so why not swap out fireworks for a low-noise display this Bonfire Night? “Thousands of animals” and that’s just the pets we see! The unseen wildlife also suffer in their multi thousands from a single firework, along with all the people who didn’t choose it within its sound radius. This is one of the reasons #random fireworks are so intrusive and damaging-you cannot escape the bang, your choice to hear it or not is made by someone else, for that moment you loose control of your life for someone else’s seconds of “fun”. #fireworklawchange

Wishing a very happy Diwali to all my friends celebrating around the world. May light triumph over darkness.
