Everything the Tories are doing, including this latest hateful anti-trans plan to remove rights from trans people, is a "culture war" tactic as they can't win an any other way that using these dirty tricks. They are done and know it but they're causing damage on the way out.

So you can report a crime if you accidentally see it but if you look for a crime you can't?!

Someone just attempted to SWAT me as well. I am fine. An individual reported an anonymous tip targeting my home in Missoula, and the police recognized that it was likely a hoax and called me. I will say again. We will not be deterred. The fight for trans rights goes on.

I love it when two beloved and universally trusted institutions come together to remind us what Britain is all about.

Fascinating chart from Will Jennings (I'm not here, see you at 🦋🧵 ): Labour is making its biggest gains in pro-Brexit areas; the Conservatives are making their biggest losses in pro-Remain areas

Jonathan Gullis blithely boasting about how Tories are "clawing back support" and claiming it's "Keir Starmer and his leftie lawyer mates" that prevent gov't from delivering, drowned out by Labour cheers at winning in his constituency, is a good summary of the state of play. ~AA

Ancoats goes to the Lib Dems and the first openly trans Manchester City Council councillor in history has been elected. Here is their immediate reaction:

I'm pleased to say that I've been successfully elected with a majority of 335. Thank you everyone who has supported me ❤️

Usual ridiculous queue of cars at every car park in Richmond Park today 🚗 🚗 🚗 Cyclists having to filter down the middle to get through. The Royal Parks - how on earth do you think this is an acceptable way to run your nature reserve? RichmondParkCyclists Richmond Cycling Campaign

Women's sports categories were originally created because men didn't want to be beaten by women. Now there's a #BritishCycling Open category I'm sure we'll see women racing against men and beating them. Also, transphobic bigots can fuck right off. You hateful trolls.

I'm truly disgusted by so many of the comments I've seen against trans athletes by people so twisted and brainwashed into hating other human beings because they're trans. The same people would have been vilifying gay people and black people throughout history too. Hate is hate.

A murder? A violent assault? No - this is the police line sent to evict a HOMELESS SHELTER Autonomous Winter Shelter from their premises in Shadwell, East London. Get down to 88 Hardinge Street E1 and tell the cops to LEAVE OUR NEIGHBOURS ALONE.

Hah, British Cycling emailed to ask me to renew my membership. There's literally no way I'd join again. Zero.
