As the Nicotine Stained Manfrog tries to spin his 22000 votes as a win, meet the real winner of this Backfiring Farage Stunt. @CountBinface should make us all feel proud to be British! Farage credibility is shot! As for not turning up to the count … pathetic. And spare us the ā€˜police warning BS’. Binface I salute you.
I came first in the Clacton by-election! Of the candidates who bothered to turn up for the results. Here is my victory speech!

Muslims voting for a party led by a gay, Jewish man only confirms how inclusive, accepting and diverse British Muslims really are. Diversity and multiculturalism is winning and GB News presenters are freaking out.
'The most toxic by-election in British history... A masterclass in how diversity and multiculturalism has failed.' @PatrickChristys gives a breakdown of the controversial campaigns in the Gorton and Denton by-election, accusing the Greens of 'shamelessly pandering' to Muslims.

Paul Roos says Mitch Brown coming out as bisexual has caused him to reflect on the team environments he created in the AFL. "We all have to do better." Keep up with all the latest in the AFL on the ABC AFL Daily podcast: ab.co/4bMWTUL

šŸ³ļøā€šŸŒˆā¤ The footy community has shared the love after Mitch Brown became the first openly bisexual player in AFL history. He firmly believes there are "currently gay and bisexual men playing in the AFL at the moment and in the past", adding "I see you and you are not alone". MITCH'S BRAVE COMMENTS >> bit.ly/4n0pTxv

Some responses to those questioning the importance of Mitch Brown’s coming out: - ā€œwho cares?ā€. Me. I care. Lots. - Don’t want politics in football?Sexuality is not politics, it’s humanity. - Don’t want to know what he does in the bedroom? That’s ok - no one’s inviting you in.

For anyone who isn’t sure why the word Izak Rankine used is a big deal, this is from NBL star @IsaacHumphries7 3 years ago. Heartbreaking.

The freezing of US foreign aid has hit our partners hard, but through collective action and solidarity, we can ensure LGBTQI organisations not only survive – but thrive. If you’re moved to help, I invite you to share the piece and donate to our LGBTQI Urgent Response Fund.

It’s been a real pleasure working with @RupertBAbbott these past two years—he will be sorely missed, but his impact is undeniable. Under his leadership, the @GiveOut_Org community has provided nearly Ā£3 million in new funding for LGBTQI activism worldwide. Thank you, Rupert.

Proud to be a signatory to this letter, welcoming the new Prime Minister & calling for #equality & #safety for #LGBTQI communities. Time to prioritise #HumanRights at home & globally. @GiveOut_Org
At a time when our LGBT+ communities, and particularly Trans communities, have been under attack for so long, it is important we use this time of change to reset relationships and how our communities are both talked about, and worked with. 1/3

So @Keir_Starmer wrote an op-ed for @AttitudeMag - but in light of events since it landed in our inbox I felt it couldn’t run without context or qualification. It’s not all bad, but he has to know that leaving our trans family behind is not an option. attitude.co.uk/news/keir-sta…
