Ahhh, Brits will remember these names, how could we forget Dominic Cummings?

Andrew Sabisky was hired to work for the government in January 2020 when
Dominic Cummings, then the prime minister’s chief adviser, requested that
“weirdos and misfits with odd skills” apply to join him. A self-described
“superforecaster”, Sabisky was meant to bring his enthusiasm for data
analysis to the Downing Street operation. Aged 27, he found himself in Boris
Johnson's senior team, attending meetings with the prime minister.

This should be a scandal in British politics, but it won't be.

learned, as the year went on, that a great deal of what my new

associates were discussing was not confined to fringe groups. Some

leading activists were reaching the ears of powerful people. Ideas about

falling birthrates - also expressed by Elon Musk - have become one way
to slip extreme views about intelligence and demography into the
‘mainstream. There are concerning links that this particular movement has
with genetic testing companies that offer screening of embryos produced
during IVF to determine which will have the highest IQ. One advocate of race
science told me about policy papers he was writing for the prime minister at
the time.

Who is this eugenicist in Westminster? Did they have a hand in the Nation's COVID response?

Leaders in the far right conceal their true nature to present a more acceptable
version to potential voters, donors and sometimes their own members. One
prominent eugenicist who works in Westminster admitted this tactic after I'd
befriended him. “Everyone puts on the mask,” he said. Only by spending
prolonged periods of time with them, winning their trust and being deemed
safe is it possible to see those moments when that mask slips and the truth
peeks out from underneath. If the far right are using subterfuge to gain
ground in politics, then it makes sense to turn their tactics back on them.

Even more signs! (3/3)

Not enough energy for more punchy captions from me, alas

A statue of Winston Churchill has a progress pride flag around one arm. Below are protest signs including "Trans people are not dangerous YOU ARE" and "No TERFs on our turf"

Two raised protest placards read "LET US LIVE" surropunded by hearts, and "Saftey should not stop at cisgender", they are next to a statue of a woman holding a fabric sign saying "Courage calls to courage everywhere"

Outside the houses of parliament a flag reads "Over my dead body"
Below it are other protest signs - several reading "Trans rights now" and one "Harry Potter and the Blood of Trans Youth" with red handprints.

A Trans flag flying in the wind and protest signs outside the houses of parliament reading "You are scared of the wrong 1%"
"Our folklore will outlive your FAKELAW"
and "Trans Rights Now

I was placard-focused at the #TransRights #protest today to avoid sharing faces - fortunately there was a strong and sassy sign game! And #Blåhaj too!
Thank you to the friends I was with, really good to be at this protest, and with great people
(1/3)

A protest placard reads "LET US LIVE" surropunded by hearts, raise by someone's hand, it's next to a statue of a woman holding a fabric sign saying "Courage calls to courage everywhere"

A protest placard reads "WHAT ARE YOU SO AFRAID OF" stencilled atop the colours of the transgender flag, it's next to a statue of a woman holding a fabric sign saying "Courage calls to courage everywhere"

Various protest signs and a blahaj cuddly shark are in front of the Houses of Parliament. Some of the signs read
"Supreme court ruling Sashay away"
"They came for us in the morning They will come for you at night"
"Trans rights now"

Was passing by #ParliamentSquare earlier today and so I decided to jump back into a little bit of #photojournalism capturing this shot of a sign reading "trans rights = human rights", with the Palace of Westminster's Victoria Tower in the background.

"Trans rights = human rights". A sign held up by a protester in Parliament Square on 2025.04.19 during a protest by those in support of trans rights following the judgment of the UK Supreme Court on the definition of "woman" in the context of the UK's Equality Act 2010.
