Remember when Grant Shapps complained people didn't work on rest days? Our new Sec of State for business & industry thinks we shouldn't have paid holidays or national pay bargaining... praising victorian level of workers rights. #JoinAUnion #ToryChaos 👇

Just GB News claiming, without challenge, that the trans-inclusive Progress Pride flag is associated with a "misogynistic ideology that has proven to be a direct threat to human rights". This really what @Weetabix & @SkyUK want to align themselves with?

In 2003, Putin made the first state visit to Britain by a Russian leader since 1874. He travelled through London in a horse-drawn carriage with the Queen. Putin had been waging a savage war in Chechnya for 3 years. It didn't matter: we thought he was our boy then. How it works.

What a superb celebration of all things queer @duckielondon #princess in Vauxhall pleasure gardens, a historical romp through the eighteenth century full of beauty, talent and fun. And a lot of big wigs.

It's in the church, the pub, the park, the railway arch, the architects, the community centre, the horses paddock, the courtyard, the back of a truck and the hole in the wall duckie.co.uk/events/princess…

Might I suggest that a lot of the current rhetoric on freedom is ableist, and comes from the point of view of privilege from those who are least likely to get impacted by current policy. Suggest you talk to CV people about how they are living right now - and if they feel 'free'.
