Whatcha doing? I tell you what you should be doing, and that’s voting for GPEx & PDC. And then telling everyone else they should vote too. If you don’t have a voting code, email ERO @GreenParty .org.uk (But don’t use official comms channels to endorse particular candidates, k)

For those who come wondering… Feminists, including myself, have been fighting for generations for women not to be reduced to their assumed biology. To do so diminishes us all and distracts from the true causes of inequality and fear that we should be focused on as a society.

They say not close, but Bristol East is a solid Labour/Green marginal. Conservatives have no hope of winning it Bristol is a Green City, and our vote share is ever increasing Watch out Kerry… #BristolEast

I never cease to be shocked by the callousness of the Conservative party, but Therese Coffey is plumbing new depths. Absolute zero compassion for children going hungry #radio4

I am frankly astounded that chess is even still gendered. Brains aren’t limited by the body it’s in Increasingly feeling like it’s the 1950s, or do I mean the 1930s?

There is no physical advantage in chess unless you believe men are inherently more able to play than women - I spent my chess career being told women’s brains were smaller than men’s & we shouldn’t even be playing - This ban is ridiculous & offensive to women

The atrocities carried out by the the Nazis were legal, because they changed the laws to make it so. Keep that acutely in mind as the Conservatives start changing legislation in order to break international human rights laws today. We are not above International Law #Rwanda

It’s #TransDayOfVisibility today. This month has demonstrated why it is so important to protect the human rights of trans people and how it intersects with the fight for all our rights. I have always and will always stand against intolerance & bigotry.
