Reposting antisemitic conspiracy theories otherwise known as personal and family problems, it seems.

Two days ago this government was celebrating it will be the next host for the European International Day Against Homophobia, Biphobia and Transphobia forum.

Ahhh memories as a gay teenager watching religious bigots on the tellybox telling us all they love the sinner just not the sin....which is precisely what this is ⬇️ it was fuck off then and it's fuck off now.

Willing to bet many at the top of Labour know the immigration policy is wrong, think the trans policy is a nonsense, know that really *we should have put taxes up to fund public services* but are unwilling to have an argument about it or make a case. Personally, I'm sick of it.

Thread of incomprehensible excerpts from the EHRC’s new guidelines on single-sex spaces. No alt text in thread unfortunately, but there is a link to the guidance itself. The amount of bother involved in all of this, turning a thing that wasn’t a problem into a massive problem for lots of people 🤦🏻‍♀️

Regardless of everything else, as a 52 year old gay guy who as young guy lived, loved and partied around with lesbians and feminist campaigners I honestly don't see how discriminating against someone because of what sex 'they look like' can be regarded as progress by *anyone*.

Lots of people dunking on the voters in the QPs here but what do you expect? Both the tories and Labour have spent years talking about little else.

Between this and Wes Streeting’s wealth tax, Labour risk ending up with Starmerism with feelgood vibes.

The UK has been on a crazed migration rollercoaster. We're now going to way overshoot and likely end up with net emigration next year. Should take evasive measures immediately.

A lot of our discourse seems to assume that 1) these wrong beliefs somehow arise naturally and 2) politicians have a duty to behave as if these wrong beliefs are true. It saves asking questions about old and new media, or doing anything brave, but it’s rotting our society and economy.

I'm sick of being told the only way you win an election in this country is by not being straight with voters. Starmer did it. Burnham is doing in the by-election and leadership election. Several tory leaders did it. And how is that 'strategy' actually going for us all, just out of interest?

You think Andy Burnham is going to be 'popular' by December when we are all living with the effects of Trump's war? I don't. So what's he gonna do? At the moment - from his campaign- the leader he most reminds me of is.... Keir Starmer.

Soft left faction appears to be the most gullible group in Parliament to this outsider’s eyes. Jesus

The 2026 Labour leadership contest is a large scale social experiment to determine what exactly it would take to get BlueSky to begrudgingly root for Wes Streeting

Please don't tell me Andy is hinting at or briefing this kind of bs but is only doing it to win the election and it'll be different in government because that's kinda what many said about Starmer, too. It *feels* like he's not being honest.

You know what you all hate him on here, but if Streeting forces Burnham into a contest for the leadership - rather than a coronation- at least it will result in Burnham having to explain *what he means* when he opens his mouth.

Lol...While everything is on fire at least I can be amused by certain people discovering that our Andy isn't quite what they projected onto him.

Have to say reading the comments in the piece I think Bridget Phillipson has a point. Collins wasn't even paid! BBC News - Backlash over Department for Education videos with Gemma Collins www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

More than anything I just think what a waste! Your first opportunity as a new MP to ask the Prime Minister a question and you don't go on something that matters locally or the cost of living you basically moan about your workplace!

This show needs to be shut down right now - it shouldn't be able to survive this. And more broadly, I hope it signals the beginning of the end of shows where people are thrown together in the hope that they'll shag each other and then have dramas. It's a shit, exploitative model that needs to die

I mean what this actually says to me is it's Sam who has the low opinion of 'white van' men here not us 'Blairites'....

Reeves and Keir Starmer ought to explain to people that..a global inflation shock is on its way, rippling out from the Strait of Hormuz. They need to explain that the government will do its best to protect people, especially the poorest, from the effects, but that dictating prices is not the answer.

A lot of commentary on here and indeed in the press is a bit like 'doesn't the Labour party understand their options for getting out of this burning building all carry risks?' No kidding, but have you seen that the building is on fire?

This is morally repugnant. Most of the people on that march would happily stick her and her family on the first plane out of here. She is completely unfit for high office.

The last 48 hours have freshly demonstrated why “just grit it out with Keir and do a last minute change” is not a goer, but you can see why some Labour MPs were attracted to it for so long.

I mean it's very clear - again- from today that Starmer really isn't the leader we need to help us navigate the consequences of Trump's war in Iran. Suppose it's a bit much to expect them to have plans readied when they didn't even prepare for what would happen after they won the GE...

Believe it or not I'm actually watching PMQs today, because I wanted to see the level of anger - and predictably the debate is being framed as a debate on North Sea oil and gas licences rather than the reality, a gross act of moral cowardice and abandonment of duty.

Starmer really leaning into his 'man of principle until that becomes inconvenient and I need to replace them with more favourable principles that may benefit me politically' image today...can't think why the public say they can't stand him when asked.

actually so angry about that Russian oil decision that I can't even really bear to feel my own fury, it's so all-encompassing that I can only glance at it from an angle, once in a while, then think about something else

Not defending the policy, but immigration is an issue and does come up all the time, despite what I keep hearing on here is Labour voters' views on the issue. But that doesn't justify a policy that won't work and will cause economic harm to the country and is unfair on many people living here.

Agree with Emily Thornberry here.. this is a properly shit decision from the govt. How can you just throw them under the bus

The government seems to believe it's main problem is Comms, not policy, but we could now be six weeks into a big "This is what is happening, this is what it means" campaign about oil prices... And we just aren't?

Got to be honest, loosening sanctions on Russia before we’ve even tried any basic demand-side measures is not filling me with pride or joy

Fuel duty moves, Russian sanction tweaking and talk of voluntary supermarket price caps are just a total mess of a response to an energy price surge.

The only bit good luck Labour has had is the tories picking Badenoch. Think if they'd not played silly games Cleverly would probably be doing v well right now. The lesson is sort yourself out pdq Labour.

It's so funny that plenty on the left complain that the government isn't left wing enough when in actual fact they are complaining about feeling the effects of a (much too) left wing government.

Bridget Phillipson: "With Reform UK, it's always about looking after our own, until it comes to feeding children" Say it louder. Something that I think is underdiscussed, is how consistent and forceful Bridget Phillipson has been in challenging Reform UK. I wish more cabinet members did the same.

Yes, yes it is.

My god the left in Labour must be appalled at this....if there's one thing they hate it's a stitch up when it comes to candidate selection. Local party democracy should always be respected isn't that right, lads? 🫠

I'm doing a story on cuts to the Universal Credit disability payments - I'm looking to speak to anyone who started claiming means-tested disability benefit (LCWRA, either in ESA or Universal Credit) for the first time when they were in their 50s or 60s My DMs are open, grateful for any reposts

The Conservative Party doing its bit for public life and independent institutions, yet again. The slow corrosion continues.

There’s no bar low enough that Kemi can’t get beneath it

Really not that complicated. Keir Starmer is widely hated some of that is driven by social media but he's also widely unpopular because his government has made huge errors, the economy, cost of living and public services all feel like they are going in the wrong direction. And people are pissed off

With what's on the way with the compliments of Trump we'll need a politician of considerable talents to give Labour a fighting chance at the next GE. You can argue that that person is not Burnham what you can't argue seriously is that Starmer is the man to win in those circumstances.

Sad really how seeing lots of flags in an area now just has a reflex reaction - from me, anyway- 'oh looks like there's a lot of racist shitbags that live around here'. Must be infuriating for the majority living in those places.

Is this intended as some kind of elaborate head fuck with the Starmerites on here? "We think he's great but we'd still like to sack him thank you very much".

In so many different walks of life it's a similar message "tough choices" - whether it's at work, national government, councils, charities, whatever. If you wanting another reason why people have *had enough*.

We will, I think unquestionably, end up needing a higher rate of housing benefit for pensioners down the line
