Official Statement Raise The Colours Raise the Colours wishes to make clear that we were not aware, and have never previously been aware, of the allegations reported concerning Ben Cullen (Raise The Colours OXFORDSHIRE). This is the first we have learned of the matter. Ben Cullen (Raise The Colours OXFORDSHIRE) was not affiliated with Raise the Colours. From time to time, members of the movement may have been present at the same flag-raising activities as him, or may have put up flags alongside him, but this does not mean he represented, was part of, or was affiliated with Raise the Colours. We make efforts, where reasonably possible, to ensure that people who attend or support flag-raising activities do so in good faith. However, Raise the Colours is a broad public movement, and we cannot be responsible or accountable for the private actions, conduct, or alleged conduct of individuals who may attend, support, or appear at public activities. We take allegations of this nature extremely seriously. As this is now a matter before the courts, it would not be appropriate for us to comment further on the specifics of the case. Raise the Colours remains focused on its aims and activities, and we will continue to act responsibly. Comment by a member of the public in response: Joe Marcangelo-Lyons So what you’re saying is that the actions of a single individual don’t reflect on the wider group? Interesting.

June 28 1969 STONEWALL RIOTS On June 28, 1969, police raided the Stonewall Inn, a gay bar in Greenwich Village, New York City. Raids on LGBTO+ establishments were routine. Officers would check IDs, harass patrons, and make arrests. But that night, the crowd refused to scatter. Protests erupted and continued for six days. At the forefront were some of the community's most marginalized: Black and brown trans women, drag queens, and homeless youth, including Marsha P. Johnson and Sylvia Rivera. One year later, thousands marched through the same streets in what became the first Pride parades.
Test results are a close match to NYC Mayor Zohran Mamdani.

'Tip Toe' (Russell T Davies's 5 part TV series) Richie Daiches Barlow ... Hi all! I just wanted to introduce myself and share why I joined the community. TipToe is a stark reminder for those of us who lived through a past of anti LGBTQ hatred, the years of Section 28 where bigotry was widespread. I spent my early years unknowingly with a biological family that had nothing but resentment towards me for being LGBTQ. The abuse was horrific and I was finally placed into government care aged nine in 1991. Unfortunately the abuse never stoped. My biological mothers last act was to publicly out me aged nine, during Section 28. As a consequence, I was trafficked for four years. Life is completely different now to what it was when I was a child. I married the man of dreams on a cold Christmas-Day morning in Central Park New York City in 2017, I'm now a voice as a columnist for LGBTQ in a national magazine called Power of Men Magazine and I'm also an activist doing keynote presentations both here in the UK and the USA to talk about the dangers of bigotry and abuse towards the community, but also to show that you can overcome it. We must protect our communities from discrimination, abuse and bigotry. We mustn't let history repeat itself. I survived to be a voice for those who are no longer able to speak for themselves. Together we're stronger, there's no LGBTQ without the T.

Councillor Martin Murray Staffordshire County Council, County Buildings, Martin Street, Stafford, ST16 2LH 12th June 2026 Dear Councillor Murray, RE: Removal of LGBTQ+ materials from Staffordshire Libraries We are writing about the worrying reports of a county-wide directive ordering the removal of all LGBTQ+ Pride-related displays from Staffordshire's libraries, the cancellation of all associated activities, and the removal of any mention of Pride from library social media channels. If this is the case, we are calling for you to immediately reverse this harmful decision and reinstate Pride month displays and activities across Staffordshire's library network. Public libraries are a valued source of information, education, and community. Taking down displays would send a clear and harmful message to LGBTQ+ library users and staff: that their stories and community do not deserve to be celebrated - or even acknowledged - in public spaces. Please can you confirm: • The full nature of any directive issued • If a directive was issued, how you assessed the impact it would have on LGBTQ+ residents • Whether Staffordshire County Council has any plans to remove LGBTQ+ related books from library shelves •Your position on displays for other celebratory months, such as Black History Month Staffordshire is a welcoming and inclusive county. We would urge you to look into this matter and we hope you will confirm the reports we have received are untrue at the earliest opportunity. We look forward to your response. Yours sincerely, Dame Karen Bradley - MP for Staffordshire Moorlands Jacob Collier - MP for Burton and Uttoxeter Sarah Edwards - MP for Tamworth Dr Allison Gardner - MP for Stoke-on-Trent South Leigh Ingham - MP for Stafford, Eccleshall, and the villages Adam Jogee - MP for Newcastle-under-Lyme Josh Newbury - MP for Cannock Chase Dave Robertson - MP for Lichfield, Burntwood, and the villages David Williams - MP for Stoke-on-Trent North and Kidsgrove
Response to Conservative Peter Gibson - Delivering for Darlington Richie Daiches Barlow Ahh Peter... if these "hardworking conservative councillors" were so concerned about Sparrow Hall Drive why on earth would they vote for it? If you look through the minutes of 2020 meeting you'll see that Whinfield Councillor Bartch voted in favour of Sparrow Hall Drive, then in 2022 Whinfield Councillor Keir voted in favour of Sparrow Hall Drive. So when both councillors could've done something about it, they instead voted for it. Do you even have access to your own parties voting history or are you simply unaware?

Dr George Woodward - Reform UK is in St Helens. Pride Cancellation - my statement as Leader of St Helens Borough Council... St Helens Borough Council won't be supporting or promoting Pride. I have instructed officers to cease engagement with all aspects of the event. We don't consider celebrations of sexuality, especially those with left-wing political leanings such as Pride, to be appropriate for St Helens Borough Council to dedicate valuable officer resources. I am also deeply concerned that Pride has become affiliated with harmful transgender ideology. As a council, we have a duty of care towards young children in the borough. Being affiliated with a movement that often results in lifelong medical harm in young impressionable children is not the direction in which I want St Helens Council to travel. Individuals, the private sector, and charities are welcome to continue to support the event as they deem appropriate.

Councillor Mal Webster - . is in St Helens. ... • Pride announcement St Helens Council will not be spending tax payers money to fund any Pride celebrations this year. We are instead rejecting identity politics that distract from residents' real priorities. This is not an attack on people's personal life choices or sexual preferences. It is instead a decision based on equality, spending the money you pay to your Council on services for everyone. As our borough faces rising council taxes, strained services, housing issues, and community cohesion pressures, we have taken the decision that those funds will no longer support performative celebrations of one group over the British values and traditions that we all share. We will always uphold the law and personal freedoms of all without discrimination. However resources will now be focused in their entirety on fixing potholes, supporting families and practical improvements for every resident of St Helens. Thus delivering a common-sense, people-first Council for you. People are free to love and to be who they wish.

Post from a Reform supporter on a Reform group page: The left have suggested removing Winston Churchill and Alan Turing from banknotes to promote diversity. Both men made significant contributions to our history. But here is the problem for the left: both are white British, and the left cannot abide this. We are being forced to cancel two of our greatest men to avoid offending foreign minorities. The left have this wrong. If it wasn't for these British men and women and their bravery, there would have been no Great Britain for these minorities to live in.

"I've got friends who are gender-critical. It's only online you end up screaming and shouting and being attacked by them. In real life, you have a chat, and we all kind of sigh and put up with each other. That's how the world works. It's actually how the world is ceasing to work."
There is no evidence to support this claim; in fact, Russell T Davies is a vocal advocate for the trans community and frequently speaks out against transphobia. He has a long track record of defending transgender rights and representation: • Doctor Who Casting: During his return to Doctor Who, Davies cast trans actress Yasmin Finney in a major role and ensured her identity as a transgender woman was authentically explored. • Defending Diversity: When anti-trans viewers and media criticized the show's LGBTQ+ storylines, Davies publicly defended his actors, calling out the critics as being full of "hate, and venom, and destruction and violence". • Public Advocacy: Davies uses his platform— including his BAFTA-winning speeches and interviews—to raise awareness about the rising hostility the queer community faces.

Thats why they lost me as a voter. & as for the "caricature of Green voters" that's where you lose again, we're not "caricature", we're real people who want fairness. Unfollowed. X ALT

Harrowgate Hill Greens 2h • 0 ... Today I'm going to talk about controlling or coercive behaviour as described in this piece of legislation; https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/ controlling-or-coercive-behaviour-statutory-guidance-framework And also about bribery as described in this piece of legislation; https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/bribery-act-2010-guidance If you read these, you will see that these laws apply to individuals, if you try to control the population via these means it is not illegal apparently. Which begs a serious question. Why is is legal to try to bribe and coercively control huge parts of the electorate with differing service provisions depending on how you voted? Which is exactly what Reform is doing in this apalling bit of propaganda, using hate and fear to attempt to win votes. You'll notice that the areas for huge detention centres that they propose are to be 'inserted in due course'. Once elected politicians are required to work for the benefit of ALL their constituents. Not just pick and choose services depending on how people voted.

The Washington Times • 15 Apr • The administration begged a federal judge on Tuesday to let construction continue on President Trump's grand ballroom project at the White House, reminding the court that he has faced "multiple assassination attempts" in recent years. White House invokes Trump assassination attempts as it fights to keep building new ballroom. Most relevant: Sandra Parshall: What do the assassination attempts have to do with a ballroom?
