Today, on Transgender Day of Remembrance, we honour the transgender lives lost to violence. Itโ€™s alarming that rhetoric that fuels transphobia is still rife within our society and politics. The Green Party fully stands by transgender people and supports their rights.

I remember some very angry Labour Canvassers feigning serious offence at the Greens mentioning that, in all likelihood, Thangam Debbonaire would be sent to the Lords if Carla unseated her...

In light of a certain Billionaire owners tweets, which are now outright expressions of support for far-right white supremacism, I will be shutting this account down at the end of the week. My handle in the other place is the same if you wish to continue following.
