Similar risks I would say. The UK by and large chose “the sensible option” in the last general election. The equivalent of Harris/dems, or the “anti chaos” option.
Reelecting Trump vs reelecting the Tories is a fair comparison, especially as the Tories are moving further and further right wing.
In summary the labour party have about 3 years to make some noticeable impact to people’s lives in the UK, but all that against the backdrop of huge financial issues incurred during the past decade or so, increasing war and conflict and now the Trump presidency.
There very well maybe people who will follow the conservative party on their way further right. The UK already had it’s brexit moment and has not really learned from it fully.
The UK government is getting rid of conversion therapy. Labour wants to, the king wants to, the C of E wants to, and because of the last part, enough Tories want to that it will happen.
So it doesn’t have similar problems when you have a queer child.
As unfortunate as that is, it is not in issue with my child. I know what I’m doing to keep her safe. I just don’t know enough about adjusting her to school.
That moment when I question what Q stands for. Lesbian Gay Bi ? Trans
I thought the Q was queer, which always seemed redundant, so I just took it to mean pans. Like LGBPT.
Yep, Q is Queer (also sometimes Questioning). It’s kind of a fuzzy category to define from the outside, but covers people who don’t consider themselves to fall within any of the other categories.
Non binary and other gender nonconforming folks will often identify as queer. So may people who challenge cis- or hetero-normativity, monamory, and other social norms around gender and sexuality (look into “Queer Theory”).
I feel like Ireland is still mostly reasonable despite some recent nonsense. Elections just got called yesterday so I may eat my words in three weeks but I don’t think so. The extremists were roundly rejected in the recent European elections which was comforting.
if you’re planning to leave because trump got elected, then be warned. the UK has similar problems

LGB is one thing, Q and T are another. There’s a reason it’s so often referred to as “TERF Island”.
As unfortunate as that is, it is not in issue with my child. I know what I’m doing to keep her safe. I just don’t know enough about adjusting her to school.
Piss off, the UK is one of the safest places to be gay and to grow up gay in the world.
Absolutely - it’s a great place to be gay or lesbian, and presumably bi as well. Trans or gender nonconforming is another matter.
TERFs are absolutely a tiny but vocal minority. Most people couldn’t give a toss.

Everywhere does right now :(
Quatsch, Merz ist super sympathisch und seine Brandmauer ist unüberwindbar! 😐
We’re in danger

Welp. That’s good enough for me! I’m coming over! 😉
UK Trump is slightly younger
