I’ve reluctantly verified our account. I hate supporting illiberal figures like Elon Musk, but the X algorithm seems to work against human rights organisations & activists. Our engagement has dropped significantly & we can’t let our voice be silenced. #HumanRights

Police arrest peaceful anti-monarchy protesters & have erected giant barriers to osbcure pro-republic banners. Right to freely protest suppressed. Shame!

The definition of depravity: Homeless people queuing for food in London tonight - in the world’s 5th richest country with 177 billionaires who hide their wealth in tax havens & refuse to pay their fair share of tax! The gap between rich & poor in UK is a national scandal!

Last night I saw bodycam footage by #Hamas terrorists who massacred civilians on 7 Oct I saw them shoot children in cold blood, behead victims & burn people alive in their homes & cars They spewed antisemitism & rejoiced at killing “Jews” Hamas = ISIS
Israel shows footage of Hamas killings ‘to counter denial of atrocities'

I have been freed by #Qatar police after staging first LGBT+ protest in the homophobic Gulf state. @FIFAcom awarded the #WorldCup to Qatar where LGBTs can be jailed & executed. #QatarAntiGay More info: QatarAntiGay.com Please Retweet

Police broke their promise that our anti-monarchy protest could go ahead. They arrested Republic’s key organisers, confiscated Republic’s official placards, photographed us like we were criminals & erected barriers in front of our protest so the king would not see us #NotMyKing

The idea that a would-be male rapist is going to dress as a woman for 3 months to get a GRC is laughable. That's why Rape Crisis Scotland, Women’s AID Scotland & Zero Tolerance Scotland support the gender reform bill. They reject fiction & scaremongering!

I've probably been violently assaulted more times than anyone else in Britain Over 300 violent attacks since 1971 - 100 of them when I was the left-wing gay Labour candidate in 1983 Bermondsey by-election But I'm still here & defiant. Still fighting for justice for EVERYONE!

My Moscow protest was in solidarity with heroic Russian & Chechen LGBT people. I salute & support their struggle. The human rights abusing Putin regime must not be allowed to score a PR coup with the World Cup. There can be no normal sporting relations with an abnormal regime.

Pakistani woman, Asia Bibi, was on death row for 8 yrs. I attended most UK solidarity meetings & rallies. No feminist group ever attended. When Iranian women were arrested & beaten on International Women's Day I cannot recall any western feminist groups joining UK protests. Why?

Today’s #MarchAgainstAntisemitism was NOT in support of Israel. It was against rise in #antisemitism Not a single person objected to my placard in solidarity with Jews AND Palestinians Dozens said they agreed with my call to oppose ALL hate & violence. A cause for hope/optimism

Sadiq Khan is miles better as Mayor of London than Boris Johnson But the right wing press hate Sadiq & applaud Boris Londoners think differently. They voted Sadiq Mayor in three elections!

Last time I checked, Sadiq Khan didn't blow £24m on a 'garden bridge', stay on holiday while the capital rioted or pump £100,000 into a girlfriend's company. Lousy mayor.
