@UKLabour peer @PeterHain "I am on JK Rowling’s side..she’s been absolutely vilified simply for calling for equal rights. You’ve got to protect women’s spaces. I just worry about a lot of the battles that have been very hard won for women..being reversed". archive.ph/tvU5F
Update sent out from the #CWU today on the #RoyalMail dispute. The message is simple: “keep preparing for #strike action... there’s no deal yet... “
#NoToSelfID #SexMatters Allowing men into women's spaces just because they declare themselves to be women is unsafe for women. Allowing transwomen who went through male puberty into women's sports is unfair. Sex matters in real life to milion of women. @NicolaSturgeon @ScotGovFM
We stand in solidarity with our Scottish Sisters self ID affects us all. Self ID will enable predators to take advantage of women and children. We say NO!#ThisIsMyNo #NoToSelfID #NoMenInWomensSpaces #WomenWontWheesht
The astounding bravery of young Iranian women who have simply had enough!
A girls' school in Iran brought a member of the IRGC-run Basij paramilitary to speak to students. The girls welcomed the speaker by taking off their headscarves & chanting "get lost, Basiji". Teenage girls have been at the forefront of protests for days. x.com/1500tasvir/sta…
I share Lachlan's indignation. I'd add a sidebar, when the Lammys and Butlers and Joneses and the rest (including soi-disant Marxists who should know better) declared this a simple left/right issue transcending fact and science, they also did immense damage to the whole left.

It is NOT our normal summer. It is NOT the same as 1976. It is NOT something we can easily cope with in the UK. Our homes and infrastructure are not geared up for this. It IS extreme. It IS life-threatening. Listen to your bodies #UKHeatwave. Here’s our @weathertrending guide:
‘Are you sure you are recycling properly?’ Does your guest know the difference between recycling and re-using? Glass milk bottles get re-used, plastic from bottles gets recycled into other things. #radio4 #youandyours bbc.co.uk/programmes/m00…
It’s not a human right to insist you compete in a classification of sport your biology doesn’t meet. Of course It’s a moral right that ‘everyone’ has access to sport & NO one wants to take that right away. Just compete where it’s fair. Trans right don’t supersede everyone else’s.
Sending #refugees arriving in Britain to offshore camps in Rwanda is inhumane and cruel. The government must drop this plan immediately. Sign the petition: r.ippl.es/camps/ but don't think that is job done join local and national campaigns to stop this abomination.
A clear acknowledgment that male inclusion into female sport means females did lose out. m.washingtontimes.com/news/2022/apr/…
@gareth_in_blyth @BritishCycling “Fair to all”. Precisely. Fairness means in sport male bodied people should compete as males, not females, because gender identity isn’t everything. Male biological sex advantages exist. Fairness demands we all accept this reality.
The moment Amazon workers at the JFK8 warehouse declared victory in their vote to form the first Amazon union in the United States
@DeadpooleStan @BallsackSports A complete red herring argument. Of course there are differences between individuals. Whatever the amount of lactic acid he produces, it would still be totally unfair for Michel Phelps (or any other male-bodied person) to compete in women’s swimming competitions.
When Labour were in government, our union had to fight them to stop the privatisation of Royal Mail. That opened the door for the ConDems to do it The architect of this was Mandelson. CWU members will never forgive him He doesn’t belong in the party let along the leaders office

Keir Starmer: rooting out left wing Jewish antiracists is not rooting out antisemitism - thecanary.co/trending/2020/… @TheCanaryUK
Some serious competition for @TheLastLeg #DickOfTheYear 2020 but it simply has to be #DickDonald. I know he’s been crowned as such before, but after all is said and done, he really is the ultimate #DickOfDicks. #DumpedDonald #NumptyTrump
Facing a 25% salary cut, @HeathrowAirport workers have voted to go out on strike tomorrow against these brutal fire & rehire policies that will see them lose up to £8000 a year. Solidarity ✊
The CWU’s Labour Party funding should be reduced to the bearest minimum required for affiliation. All national donations above that should be stopped until JC is fully reinstated. Any local donations should only be made to support those CLPs defending JC. #IStandWithJeremyCorbyn
EXC: NEC of the Communication Workers Union, fifth biggest Labour affiliate, just unanimously passed this motion demanding Corbyn's reinstatement. Resolves to consider the extent of their relationship with Labour - disaffiliation not on table but financial contributions are.
