If you want to understand the culture that allowed Murrell to get away with embezzlement for more than a decade while donors to the ring fenced indyref fund were duped, the Audible version of my book Keeping the Dream Alive (read by me) is now available👇 audible.co.uk/pd/B0GJTS86FD?…

Yes. Just like the time powerful men went to court to have a charity founded and run by lesbians struck off. @AllianceLGB survived and the men ended up looking pretty foolish….nevertheless a lot of trauma was caused to good women who are overdue an apology don’t you think?

Powerful men use the law to intimidate women they’ve abused into silence.

But it’s time to flip the fear. Help us to fund cases that turn the tables on these men, empower women to speak out – and get justice:

Today for the 1st time @AllianceLGB are giving evidence in Parliament to the Joint Committee on the draft Conversion Practices Bill. We are so proud to be here notwithstanding the tidal wave of homophobia directed against us including from some current & former MPs.

Pretty sure this is as a result of the axing of Good Morning Scotland. The replacement is in no way the sort of serious news programme our democracy needs. Despite the quality of the presenters. I’ve pretty much 💯 migrated to the Today programme.
