I’m done replying. Transphobes are not welcome in Le Pub. If you genuinely believe being a transphobe is a protected characteristic please do take us to court.

The proposed ban on puberty blockers for young trans people is very concerning. Labour's manifesto promised to "remove indignities for trans people who deserve recognition & acceptance" -this entails ending the ban on puberty blockers. I will always stand with trans youth.

Charlotte is one the best people I know. I don’t know her well but she’s never failed to stick her neck out and stand up for what’s right.
I wish I didn’t have to write this I am an artist, not a politician, and would rather speak through creative action than explanatory text But I find that for several reasons, I must respond to accusations and smears made against me these last couple of weeks 🧵 1/12

I wonder if @chrisfarren will be playing any shows in the uk this summer. I wonder if he has any dates free. Maybe I should ask him

This is horrendous behaviour. I can’t help but have a little tear in my eye at how many people stood up to it though. We are so much better than this. Capitalism has destroyed us. And is holding us ransom.

Louise Distras claiming she’s been cancelled is fucking hilarious. No one cared before she jumped on the transphobic bandwagon.

I’m a legend. Hahaha. I’ve been called a legend before but usually for drinking shots.
Music industry legend Sam Dabb from @Lepub was recently interviewed by @Scroobiuspipyo for the latest episode of Distraction Pieces Podcast, “Grassroots Music Venue Special”. You can listen back here: shows.acast.com/distractionp…

With what appears to have been an assist from Farage and Sunak, the GB News owners hedge fund has reportedly cashed by in betting against NatWest. This requires an urgent investigation so we can find out what has happened. So do reports of Truss and Kwarteng reportedly having lunch with hedgefunders that short the pound prior to the mini budget. Then after, at a widely reported champagne lunch, where Kwarteng was said to have been advised to double down on their horrifying budget, which further screwed the markets and left millions of Britons facing huge mortgage increases and risk of homelessness. It’s almost as if the book Jacob Rees Moggs dad wrote is being used as a manual. This is generally how "Sovereign Individuals" operate. One of Jacob Rees Mogg’s donors is Crispin Odey, ex husband of Murdochs daughter and the man that made millions in the aftermath of Brexit, after donating vast sums to leave groups, he has benefitted from a lot of crashes. He’s also linked to the fossil fuel big wigs, Mogg is vocally pro fracking and was very pro Brexit, but I’m sure that’s just a big coincidence… Disaster capitalism, shorting the pound, betting against your own country - the antithesis of patriotism. Yet they all claim to be the poster boys for patriotism? Real patriots look around now and feel little but shame for what their nation has become. That’s how it all generally works though, between the government and powerful people. It’s all high stakes gambling and bank robbing arranged in Prada at the Carlton by the elite, fuck ups orchestrated, billionaires get richer, send it all offshore - then we are left to pay for it, a society in ruins that’s told to accept low pay as food prices and energy bills soar, that face hate crimes as their red meat/ culture war rhetoric impacts our communities, that’s taxed higher as our public services fall to ruins due to government cuts. Meanwhile, MPs cash in, their pay increases, their expenses increase and their mates divvy out shares then take the money and run, or buy yachts and sail away. They’re like a posh mafia and we are all being conned on an industrial scale. amp.theguardian.com/politics…

Are you the same guy who dropped his house building targets? Because I’m the guy who started building more council homes than the rest of England combined, exceeded your affordable homes targets & built more homes of any kind than since the 1930s. This is desperate nonsense.
Labour’s Sadiq Khan has failed to deliver the homes London needs, driving up prices and making it harder for families to get on the housing ladder. So I’m stepping in to boost house building and make home ownership a reality again for Londoners. standard.co.uk/news/politics…
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
Under Sadiq Khan were more new homes completed per year than under any previous Mayor of London. london.gov.uk/more-new-homes…

New @superdrug is Spytty is lovely. I’d wait to go though. It’s full of middle aged white men in suits and Superdrug lanyards pushing their way around and demanding cups of tea from the cashiers. I assume they work for the company but who knows. Did my head right in.

Probably best to go in a day or two when the lovely and helpful staff that work there will be left alone to actually do their jobs.

Anyone who is sick of Andy peddling this lie. Here is the email of the standards commissioner where we can all lodge a complaint about his behaviour that clearly goes against the senedd code of conduct. [email protected]
