Happy St George’s Day to everyone celebrating across London 🏴

Fare ye well David, we'll miss you deeply. Excellent fellow in every way. Loved your painting and your photography in particular, but always slightly mesmerized but your style too.

I'm for socially progressive politics and European alignment, I've lost faith in Labour, and Labour is losing seats.
It's not impossible to turn around. But we urgently need to bin Blue Labour, talk up progressive policies, build houses, and likely, change leader to someone the public likes.
Is there a mechanism for the cabinet and pm to just shuffle in another Prime Minister?

@dieworkwear.bsky.social where can I buy a suit that looks like this?

I agree with @zoesqwilliams.bsky.social - nothing in the law requires exclusion. Whether you're the Women's Institute or the Girl Guides you have the option of just making your rules say you accept biological females and trans girls/women.
This is an act of choice, not legal necessity.
