Ahead of the debate, hundreds of people – including high profile figures such as Jonathan Dimbleby, dying people and bereaved relatives – gathered outside Parliament, calling for MPs to listen to their stories and represent the views of the 75% of the public who back change.

Thank you to everyone who joined us outside Parliament on Monday.

More than 200,000 people signed Esther Rantzen's petition, triggering an emotional Westminster Hall debate where MPs from every major political party voiced their support for change.

One day very soon, Andy Murray is going to announce his retirement plans. This man single-handedly walked British tennis back into world relevancy and when he goes, he'll take with him a piece of every single one of us that showed up for him year-in, year-out.

All-timer. 🙏

Why is one form of conversion therapy seen as bad (which it is) and the other, much more extreme version is celebrated in society and pushed on children?

Manchester, nonetheless, is showing London how it's done! 🐝❤️🚋🍺⚽🏭🚏
