The transphobic moral panic in britain is revolting. I cannot summon even the barest modicum of respect towards anyone lending the Gender Critical movement political legitimacy. The recent M&S "controversy" is an overt attempt to fully ostracise transpeople from public life.

We also need to keep talking about the gatekeepers from within our communities who love to say there's enough for everyone to eat but they're the ones doing all the eating because they love being the only Black person in the room.

It seems that J.K. Rowling has convicted an innocent shop assistant of "working while trans." She has demanded a boycott of M&S because a trans person was doing their job. Because it's not about "women's spaces" it's about trans people being in ANY space. Existing, in fact.

The Met now says it arrested 522 people yesterday on terrorism charges for supporting action to stop the genocide in Gaza. More than a fifth were over the age of 70. Each faces up to 14 years in jail.

Four Al Jazeera staff, including reporter Anas Al Sharif, were killed in an Israeli attack on a tent for journalists outside the main gate of Gaza's al-Shifa hospital aje.io/onll19

Israel says it killed these Palestinian Al Jazeera journalists, claiming - without providing any evidence - that Al Sharif was a terrorist. Previous Israeli claims about him were rejected as unsubstantiated smears by Al Jazeera and the Committee to Protect Journalists.

This is truly abhorrent. Bigotry harming all people, and the marginalised group being blamed by those committing the harm. Transphobia is hate. It’s Fascism. ‘I’ve been spat on’: gender non-conforming women tell of toilet abuse after Supreme Court ruling theguardian.com/world/2025/aug…

‘We are not even beginning to understand what it means to have a serious asylum problem’. She’s 100% correct. We have a very serious asylum policy problem, so let’s talk about that instead of demonising the people enduring it.

The Polari Prize for LGBTQ+ literature exists to celebrate and include trans voices. Nominating an anti-trans activist was a serious error that contradicts the very spirit of the award. This was never about “a few activists”; it was the wider community standing with trans people.

The Guardian has won its High Court legal battle with the actor and director Noel Clarke, who sued us for libel over allegations of sexual misconduct. We ran two defences – truth and public interest – and won on both. judiciary.uk/wp-content/upl…

Fascinating that you could think this in Britain

Watching that interview was like watching someone audition for ‘Britain’s Biggest Victim.’ No remorse, no humility, not a shred of genuine regret, just endless self-pity and excuses. She’s not the victim here, no matter how hard she tries to sell it. She needs to just spend

'Claims that aid is entering the Gaza Strip at scale are not true... It is clear and simple. There is a famine.' We spoke to Tess Ingram from Unicef, who was on the ground in Dier al-Balah and al-Mawasi, about the worsening conditions in the Gaza Strip. She refuted claims from

"Rylan is not an ideologue. He is exactly the sort of person the government should be talking to." Rylan's migrant rant was full of far-right misinformation – and the government is to blame for its lack of effort to lead UK conversation on asylum seekers thenewsagents.co.uk/article/rylans…

Naomi Osaka on the Taylor Townsend & Jelena Ostapenko situation at U.S. Open: “It’s one of the worst things you can say to a Black tennis player in a majority White sport.” “I think it's ill timing and the worst person you could have ever said it to. And I don't know if

Telling a Black athlete she has “no education” is racism, plain and simple. Jelena Ostapenko hurled that insult at Taylor Townsend after her victory. But Taylor has worked, studied, and sacrificed her way into greatness. Her win wasn’t just about advancing to the next round, it
