When I was at school the Tories created Section 28 and did everything they could to demonise us.

When I went to uni in Manchester, 'Thatcher's favourite copper' James Anderton was sending squads of police to raid gay venues.

Today it's clear the Tories haven't changed a bit.

The truth is that itโ€™s younger Britons who have the most progressive views on immigration and multiculturalism.

Theyโ€™re also disproportionately the same people in insecure, low paid jobs, and who donโ€™t own any home, let alone two.

Noticing the officer from Greater Manchester Police laying hands on Andrew Boff here. At a loss to think what offence they reasonably think Andrew could have committed to justify this? Or are the police now acting effectively as security guard heavies for a private event?

It begins as an anti-trans moral panic.

It escalates to a growing anti-LGBTQ backlash.

And we are now at the stage of a gay Tory politician being physically dragged by police out of a Tory conference for mildly dissenting from the government's anti-LGBTQ stance.
