KIND OF LOVE
Late 1990s, New Labour are in power & the ‘gay age of consent’ is causing controversy. Meanwhile teenagers are busy making out, making up, but mainly making mistakes..
this is a story of lust, lies, hurt & revenge- Some kind of love story!

This week I had the honor of joining the @antibullyingalliance in Parliament to take a stand against bullying and #chooserespect.
Don’t be a bully of yourself by accepting that you’re supposed to be bullied by others.

Just back from seeing ‘With Love, Mr Gay’, written and performed by the incredibly talented @thesecondshelf and co-starting the superb @GBury_17. Part of the @GMFringe held at @QueerLitUK. Funny, thought provoking and surprisingly musical. Class entertainment - a top night!🏳️🌈

During Pride Month, we remember and give thanks to all who are no longer with us but were part of this movement. Without you, it wouldn't have been the same; you left footprints that will always be remembered.

The first time I met him privately I was struck by his genuine desire to understand what should be better. I was also struck by his charisma in person, his humour and of course his smart. I hope we get to see this and we allow him to make the changes without expecting perfection … because your perfect won’t be mine and there are some tough decisions he is going to have to make.

Seven years ago today, twenty-two innocent lives were tragically lost in the Manchester Arena attack.
The families of those who lost loved ones, and all those whose lives have changed immeasurably are in our thoughts.

The Daily Mail has entirely missed the last two days....
& the #LocalElections2024 annihilation of the Tory party by the electorate
Oh but hang on...... Angela Rayner 🙄
Tories thought it would damage her. It hasn't.
Instead Daily Mail caused a Streisand Effect
We all know about Michael Ashcroft and Daily Mail Group trust being offshore to avoid tax now
And guess what?
We despise the Tories even more because of it
Well done 👏🏼👏🏼
Huge own goal

🧵“Today, the NEU put this Government, and any new Government that follows it, on notice. We will move to a formal strike ballot in England and Wales if and when necessary to save our schools and colleges. Education is on its knees, struggling to cope with a crisis never seen before in our sector.👇

Last week, we received a letter from @GillianKeegan, asking us to halt our ballot over pay and funding. If she thinks her threats can stop us from saving our schools, then she should think again!
🗳️ VOTE NOW for a fully funded, inflation-plus pay rise and demand the funds our schools desperately need. #InvestInEducation #PayUp24
