“Labour cancels women’s conference amid ‘bonfire of equalities’ as Starmer goes full Farage”

“Labour runs scared of protest, political resistance and legal action”
Whether or not you're a member of the Labour party (I'm not), please consider signing this petition. In the light of Wes Streeting's awful decision yesterday on puberty blockers, it's more important than ever to send a message that what the government is doing is not OK.

I haven't done my #introduction post yet!
I live in NE #Scotland, I'm an #equalities consultant and was the #SNP National Equalities Convener for a few years. I specialise in #disability justice, #feminism, #antifascism.
I'm also a #SpokenWord #poet, writing about being #disabled, #cats, #science, #activism, #trauma, #politics, still foolish enough to believe words can change the world.
Interests: almost everything. Particularly #physics, #history, #books, #poetry, #ScottishIndependance.
So, time for #introductions!
Hi 
I’m John, or sometimes ‘JP’ for short. (No, I don’t mind; whichever you like). My pronouns are he/him.
I’m a civil servant — 10 years and counting! — with specialisms in #digital and #equalities policy.
I like to have a lot of things on the go at once; so expect my Mastodon musings to lurch from the ridiculous to the sublime.
