Let's be very clear: the Prime Minister can be available very quickly *if he wants to*. Fobbing off First Ministers with excuses is such a bad look, and yet so on brand. He simply does not care. #UnionofEquals

I really, really wish someone would launch a usable, basic, chronological alternative to Instagram that everyone could switch to. At this point I'm wondering if Flickr still works.

This is probably apocryphal but that doesn’t make it less true.

Tennis television broadcasters failed their viewers this weekend. Wrote about the stark divide between how Zverev’s story was covered this week by journalists (pretty well) and on TV broadcasts (not whatsoever). Free to read and share at Bounces: www.benrothenberg.com/p/alexander-...

🧮 80 MPs have now signed the motion to reject the EHRC guidance. This motion alone would not stop it, it would have to be put to a vote. The best way to get that is for it to have an overwhelming number of signatures. Whatever happens, it sends a strong message. edm.parliament.uk/early-day-mo...

It is obvious that Epstein’s victims weren’t on the radar of the boys’ club in No.10. No matter how many times the Labour Government tries, this can never be justified. Er gwaethaf ymdrechion Llafur, nid oes modd cyfiawnhau’r penderfyniad hwnnw.

Its pride month! Be a proper ally and write to your MP and tell them you oppose the EHRC guidance and the exclusion of trans people members.parliament.uk/FindYourMP

The human race is going to have its first trillionaire before everyone has clean drinking water… let that sink in. We're a complete failure as a species.

Men are hanging around changing rooms all the time, usually in the form of a bored husband passing various sizes of blouse through some curtains on a Saturday afternoon on the high street. It takes some really batshit reasoning to turn it into a political war zone.

After her win at #RolandGarros, Oleksandra Oliynykova took the mic again, for a growing crowd of global interest, and railed against the war in Ukraine and the tennis players and organizers she sees as complicit in its continuation. Free at Bounces: www.benrothenberg.com/p/oleksandra...

"He believed that Marie, who is living with dementia, was a man dressed as a woman. "Bailey knocked Marie to the ground and threw her into a wheelie bin before applying pressure to the lid. "The bin fell over as Marie desperately tried to escape only for her to be punched and kicked by Bailey."

Wehei! Steddfod yr Urdd yn Dre! Methu disgwyl!

Apparently far right commentators have decided I’m nonbinary (I am not nor have I ever claimed to be). So now the definition of ‘woman’ has narrowed further - in addition to looking like a Disney princess to satisfy arbitrary femininity criteria we must also apparently be transphobes to qualify.

"Poverty is the leading cause of all ill health.. so austerity had a major role to play in spiralling mental illness since 2010" Natasha Devon on the hypocrisy of the Tory leader blaming social media for a surging mental health crisis.

So…. Are we all gonna have to whomp our floofs out for inspection if we want to use a public bathroom or will they make us submit a blood sample so that they may do a DNA test at the threshold? All of this is obviously so brilliant for women’s dignity and safety.

I agree that this isn't a case of 'women being difficult'. It's a case of a small number of women being transphobic. Personal prejudices aren't magically feminism if expressed by a woman.

The rhetoric coming from @shelaghfogarty.bsky.social on #LBC is a prime example of how anti-trans propaganda actively harms all women. Setting up a false conflict between trans and cis women relies on the same rigid, patriarchal policing of womanhood that feminism fights against. It’s pure misogyny

In case anyone is interested, look at the waveform of the final bit of one of Starmer's (better) speeches. How even the segmenting, pauses, volume, pace, and inflection. It looks artificial. Worse, I can tell without listening that the speaker hasn't decided what he wants the audience to take away.

Looks like Westminster's HS2 'England and Wales' project (despite purely only running in, and serving England) is going to cost the WELSH TAXPAYER more than the FIVE BILLION we already have to pay! 😡 You Indy yet? 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿💪 @yes.cymru

PSA because I'm tired of this 🧵

"A recent Unrwa dispatch said 111 Palestinians, including at least 18 children and seven women, were killed by Israeli forces in Gaza in April alone, bringing the total number of Palestinian deaths since the war began to 72,619."

Tesco boss’s pay rises by more than £1m to £10.8m. 3m Britons skip meals, can't afford to buy food. Tesco profits hit £3.15bn. There are no controls of fat-cattery. Shareholder votes are advisory, not binding. Workers have no say. Customers have no say.

Angela Rayner was dragged through every front page for weeks... HMRC's verdict: NOT deliberate. NOT even careless. Farage pockets £5 million and chooses not to declare it So where's the wall-to-wall coverage? Tell me this isn't a rigged game.

All the "is Miliband popular/competent/acceptable after losing 11 years ago" is missing the most crucial point: that the most dramatically satisfying ending is that the guy who lost the election after which everything went wrong comes back and fixes it all. Ask Chekov. Ask Aristotle

A cause for national shame. This is the Rainbow Map for LGBTI+ rights across Europe. Until 2015, the UK was top. We've now collapsed down the rankings - and are the worst in Western Europe. We're now near Albania.

Anything you’d like to say, Richard?

This is why we join together the letters L, G, B, T, Q, I, A - because an attack on one ALWAYS ends up being an attack on all.

At the risk of suggesting something for which I do not have easy answers, I think we have to fundamentally rethink town centres because the market is no longer a reliable driver of vitality there. It can't just be "the shops" anymore

Calling a Jewish person antisemitic for not supporting the actions of the Israeli government is in of itself antisemitic because it assumes Jewish people have a hive mind that is operated by Netanyahu. I know you know this but a lot of ppl talking about Zack Polanski right now apparently don’t.
