Discrimination against LGBT+ people is still far too commonplace - particularly against the trans community. LGBT+ rights must not be taken for granted. The fight for equality goes on. #IDAHOBIT 🏳️‍🌈❤️💜💙🏳️‍⚧️

Today is International Day Against Homophobia, Biphobia and Transphobia🏳️‍🌈. Founded in 2004, #IDAHOBIT is now celebrated in more than 130 countries around the world. It reminds us that there is still a long way to go until all LGBTQ+ people are free and safe from harm.

Pleased to see Govt listen to our calls to reform the ULS Scheme, but this change will make little difference to victims, who still have an absolute 28 days to apply, and who are often never even told about the scheme. The rights of offenders and victims must be equal here.

At our synod meeting in Amman we heard an incredibly moving testimony from Suheila Tarazi, Director of our Al Ahli Hospital in Gaza City. She summarised the traumatic experience of these past eight months. What she is doing with the remaining staff is nothing short of a miracle.

As we warned, the early release scheme is "undermining good, safe release planning & risk management". Freeing high risk offenders with a history of DA and stalking early, without adequate probation services, will put victims and the public at risk.

BREAKING: Commons back Lib Dem amendment to exclude MPs arrested for serious offences. MPs have voted to back amendments by @wendychambLD , ensuring MPs accused of serious offences are excluded from the Parliamentary estate at the point of arrest, rather than only when charged.

The arbitrary cancellation of #HS2 still makes my blood boil. The arrant stupidity of Sunak’s shortsighted decision is laid bare in this lament by @DavidShirres ⁩ HS2 offered so much - Rail Engineer

This was always why they really were not bothered by the strikes. There was always a plan and like everything else it was done with neither consultation nor consent

We are now in the insane situation of having GPs available to work but unable to find it - because the govt financially pushes practices into hiring non-doctors. Absolute madness. With inexplicable buy-in from @NHSEngland 😔
