No Equality Act. All new family rights in the Employment Rights Act scrapped. But, a “Women and Motherhood Protection Act” From a party of misogynists with links to MAGA christofascists and anti-abortionists. Just call it the Gilead Act and be done with it. www.thelondoneconomic.com/politics/ref...

It's not a "deal", it's an agreement. Since this weirdo became president, with his constant talk of "deals", the media have picked it up and normalised it - it makes me sick. There's nothing normal about him - just stop it. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

He really just hasn't a clue 😞 www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

But of course he is on holiday. "It is understood that Brittin is on a holiday which was planned before he became director-general but has attended an executive committee meeting this week and several board meetings remotely." www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Starmer warns against ‘looking backwards’ to Brexit after rivals back UK’s return to EU - It’s not about looking backwards Mr Starmer it’s about moving beyond all the old Brexit dogmas and doing what’s best for the country, alignment with the EU, then rejoining. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

Trump's body makes some sort of horrible sound while he rants about the "rigged election"

Sounds like Trump's personal "Strait of Hormuz" just opened.

Technically, I think this is my first new byline picture in 25 years.

I've watched this about 7 times, it's just magnificent and inspiring. If that's not love then I don't know what is. 🥹 ‘Two sisters living out their dreams.’ IG: cheethamswithdreams

Trump has now been ranting and raving at the G7 for more than a half hour without interruption

"War has instead done what it usually does: empowered the powerful, rallied the faithful, and allowed an apparatus of repression to present its imperatives in terms of national security" Read Laura Secor on the abandonment of the Iranian people www.theatlantic.com/internationa...

The decision to go ahead with this 'debate,' even after Robinson is questioned under anti-terror laws, following his return from Moscow where he helped stoke racist riots on the streets of the UK, is utterly shameful from the Oxford Union bylinetimes.com/2026/06/17/p...

The EHRC trans code explained: What it does, how it works and what happens next iandunt.substack.com/p/the-ehrc-t...

Fleeing your home country, and everything you know, because of war, violence or persecution takes incredible courage. To everyone who has recently arrived in London seeking safety: you are welcome here.

NPR is comparing a trans woman fleeing Texas for her personal safety with a conservative fleeing Seattle because he was annoyed with his neighbors. This is honestly insane both sides framing to a degree that is just blatant lying by omission.

Starmer inviting Burnham to join his Cabinet the day before the #Makerfield by-election? He really doesn’t want Andy to win, does he? Come on, Keir, say what you mean: VOTE BINFACE.

Brexit “quietly fetters access to the €18tn continental economy that lies on the UK's doorstep.” “Each year we are outside the EU is another year in which we are poorer than we need to be” Absolutely not the actions of a country that has got its shit together. giftarticle.ft.com/giftarticle/...

23rd June marks 10th anniversary of the EU referendum. You'd think that would be something for Farage, Reform and the big Brexit leaders to celebrate but....

Brexiters make sure they never fully explain what “aggressively deregulate” means. Because it means a race to the bottom. Stripping away our rights and protections so that we can all be better exploited and dangerous risks can be more easily taken - for profit. Would go down like a sick sandwich.

Well, that was a fucking ride.

The Gestapo marched hundreds of thousands of innocent people to their deaths. I've ended private schools' tax breaks to invest in state schools. No responsible leader makes vile comparisons like this. Kemi Badenoch is not fit to be Prime Minister.

I mean, how are we still talking about protecting kids from radicalisation when actual parliament, including the leaderships of at least two major parties, are ram-packed with bellowing whackjobs

according to wikipedia there were 128 school shootings in america in the 1960s en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of...

I no longer have time for any of this. Sick of the rich, in this case the monarchy. www.bbc.co.uk/news/videos/...

My daughter got her PhD this week! Sociology, specifically, Sociology of Law, looking at inequities in conferring citizenship to immigrants (worldwide problem). Thesis topic is actually more complicated than what I just wrote, but anyway, KVELL KVELL, SO PROUD!

A new era of housebuilding for London. City Hall is taking inspiration from Singapore’s world-class housing model, investing directly in thousands of new high-quality, affordable homes in East London.

The DOJ tried to make a federal case out of former NYC Comptroller Brad Lander peacefully protesting immigration policies. They offered a plea deal. He demanded a trial instead—and won a total "not guilty" verdict in just one day. Read how he beat the regime:👇 www.dworkinsubstack.com/p/the-regime...

There is no such thing as white privilege. The fact that I walked straight from my £60k a year private education into a City job where my stockbroker father and his rich white mates worked was down to sheer hard graft.

They're saying a Facebook post saying "we need to become ungovernable" constitutes grounds for federal criminal charges?

MAGA Michelle Obama is a man REFORM Keir Starmer is having sex with Ukrainian rent boys. This is the right wing today, and they have power.

Reform’s latest idiotic, racist idea: imposing a tax on companies that hire foreign workers And the perfect person to introduce it. A corrupt, opportunistic, nasty little tosser. If you loathe Jenrick, you’ll love this… www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

Reform UK pledges new tax on employers for hiring foreign workers, to fund national insurance reduction for employers. No impact assessment produced. Reform may define "foreign" by colour? Crazy plan would destroy the NHS, social care, farming, transport and more. And the knock-on effect?

After PM announces the under 16 social media ban, BBC News interviews various people... all negative about Starmer & the ban. Whatever the pros & cons of the ban, this is not balanced, or even unbiased reporting. Not one supporter of the ban was interviewed. They really have a thing about Starmer.

7,000 new homes unlocked for Londoners, with City Hall acting as joint developer. Backed by our new £100m housing delivery arm, we’re accelerating construction at Silvertown in the Royal Docks, taking inspiration from the state-led SkyResidence development in Singapore.

Disagree with lots of this, including the central argument, but it's very thoughtful. The best single idea in it is this: "Any platform that uses an algorithm more complex than ‘people you follow in chronological order’ to be treated as a publisher, and held to account for content."

Mind-blowing stat from Lizzie Dearden. (Also, give it up for the progressive middle-aged white women!)

Really important that this story gets out there. Classic Kremlin disinfomation and smear campaign and lots of people even on this site fell for it. inews.co.uk/news/starmer...

Yes, at the very least, but really he should have his citizenship revoked, be deported immediately, and banned for life from entry. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...
