this is so powerful and incredibly important for the Trans community and for those who have never knowingly known someone a trans person. Ditch the scare mongering, and understand the person inside, who just doesn't match the outside. #WeAreAllPeople

The attacks on #Israel are horrific, the blockades & restrictions on #Gaza over many years are barbaric. The world needs to help these two nations broker peace & stop the massacre of innocents. I hope the coming days will see this senseless murder stop, will we never learn? – at Poole, England
I am deeply saddened by the violence in Israel and Palestine which affects many innocents including Jewish people in the UK who have nothing to do with the Israeli-Palistine conflict. I hope and pray for peace for the region and for our communities 🙏#Stand4Peace #No2Hate

This is amazing news.
Great win for the truth.
Great shame for @SuellaBraverman and her party.
"Suella Braverman falsely claimed child grooming gangs in the UK were “almost all British-Pakistani”, according to a ruling by the press regulator, Ipso."

We must fight tooth and nail any attempt to strip people of their fundamental rights, many of which were secured after the atrocities of World War 2.
It's especially terrifying as climate collapse, wealth inequality, violence and persecution are driving more people to do what any one of us would do and leave our homes in search of safety.
Leaders in rich countries must own up to how their policies contribute to human displacement, change their path, and work together to broaden protections and reinforce people's rights.
