The Tories keep banging on about "disability benefit fraud" like 2000s TV presenters. The fraud rate for PIP is non-existent: 0.2%.

If the last government genuinely cared about justice and accountability, it would have implemented the recommendations of the Independent Inquiry into Child Sexual Abuse. Every time Kemi Badenoch weaponises victims and survivors, she is causing profound harm. #PMQs

The government’s own impact assessment warns that the EHRC’s Code of Practice exposes trans women to a “disproportionate risk of violence and sexual assault” and that women who do not conform to gender stereotypes may face “greater scrutiny”. It also doesn’t offer clarity to organisations that want to be trans-inclusive. For example, if a charity wants to hold a trans-inclusive women’s coffee morning as a service open to the public, without opening it to all. My plea to the government: withdraw the guidance and instead legislate to protect trans people’s rights, privacy and inclusion. For reference, the Minister’s response is in relation to membership organisations with rules for membership, but as the guidance stands, this would not apply to a charity service open to the public.

A year on from the Supreme Court ruling, trans people have faced a wave of exclusions at work, in sports clubs and in everyday public life. Gender-critical activists have also been emboldened to drag inclusive organisations through the courts. The government must scrap the EHRC’s guidance and legislate that all single-sex spaces are trans-inclusive by default. A clip from my speech in this year's LGBTQ+ History Month debate in Parliament:

Efforts to narrow the definition of womanhood, police people’s gender expression, and reduce people to their biology don't protect women - they harm us. Attacks on trans rights should never be done in our name. We must stand in solidarity with our trans siblings.

Discrimination, harassment and violence will rise if trans people lose access to toilets and other spaces. Many will be driven from public life. That's what's at stake here. There's no benefit to women. Just harm to trans people and anyone who doesn’t fit gendered stereotypes.

The government should be ashamed that its migration policies are being cheered on by Tommy Robinson and Reform. Instead of standing up to anti-migrant hate, this is laying the foundations for the far-right. I questioned the Home Secretary on how she can be proposing such obviously cruel policies.

▪️ Lift the puberty blockers ban ▪️ Reject EHRC guidance ▪️ Legislate to ensure single-sex spaces are trans-inclusive by default. Posting this from my speech at the Trans Day of Remembrance vigil, because yet again trans women and girls are being excluded from their spaces. As Ess Dennis puts it: “Trans girls, you have always been part of girlhood. And I am at home with girlhood when you’re there with me.”

The Holodomor was an act of deliberate mass starvation by Stalin's Russia that claimed the lives of 1 in 8 Ukrainians. Yesterday I called for Parliament to officially recognise it as a genocide.

If you take a consistent position against war crimes - whether committed by Israel or Russia - be prepared to be spoken to like this. After the show, Camilla Tominey said she “had fun”. It seems like this is just a game for some members of the commentariat.

Tomorrow, millions will vote in elections across England, Scotland and Wales. Nigel Farage’s far-right party is set to make huge gains — and that is a danger to all of us. Reform is counting on working class people’s anger with politics, but they are not the party for the working class, and they never were. Don’t let them tear us apart.

🚨 I met with residents of the Bibby Stockholm and asked them about the conditions they’re being forced to live in - conditions the Home Office won't let me see. Their testimony was harrowing. We must demand an asylum system that treats people with dignity. PART 2 👇🏽

As well as discrimination in general healthcare, years long waiting lists for gender-affirming healthcare are ruining trans people’s lives. We urgently need increased funding for gender-affirming healthcare, improved training for GPs, and to co-produce services with trans patients to ensure that they’re inclusive and fit for purpose.

MPs have voted down the Tory amendment forcing public bodies to use people's sex assigned at birth in their records - infringing trans people’s right to privacy. The Minister confirmed to me that the government is not intending to introduce similar legislation in future.

Trans women have used women’s toilets for decades without issue. Why are self-proclaimed “feminists” focusing on this made up problem, when there is a real problem of rising male violence in the UK? They’re not helping women - they’re driving trans people out of public life.

Many young trans people and their families are hugely concerned about the puberty blockers ban. Criticisms of the Cass review aside, this policy goes far beyond its recommendations. At #PMQs, I asked the government to meet with those affected to understand its impact.

If you're a young LGBTQ+ person, I know that the direction the world is moving can feel scary. Please know that you are not alone. Our history is full of struggle, yet queer joy has always existed. A better future for all of us is possible, and we'll keep fighting for it.

Our inhumane asylum system is costing people their lives. Last year it was deadlier than ever. At the very least, every person who dies while attempting to claim asylum here should be counted, remembered and mourned. Last night, I spoke about why this needs to be law.

When I spoke in Parliament this week on child sexual abuse and exploitation, I was shouted down by Tory MPs and Nigel Farage. I’ve worked with CSA services in Nottingham for over a decade. I will keep advocating for victims and survivors, and I refuse to be silenced.

The rights of trans people do not conflict with the rights of lesbians. It’s why polling shows that, more than any group, lesbians and bisexual women are supportive of the trans community. Our community’s liberation is bound together. #LesbianVisibilityWeek

The government is legitimising Reform with anti-migrant rhetoric while alienating long-time Labour voters by shifting to the right. This won't defeat the far right, nor will it improve lives ruined by austerity - it's clearly a lose-lose strategy.
