Starmer increasingly appears to be holding his Labour Party upside down.

Currently in the grasp of a GUMSHOE campaign idea I can best describe as "Night's Green Pleasantries," with apologies to both @julian.cartoongravity.com.ap.brid.gy and @pelgranepress.bsky.social This is what happens when you listen to too many audio-dramas in too short a time, kids

Israel out of FIFA & UEFA. No to racism. No to genocide. Freedom for Palestine! This Thursday at 6pm at Aston Pavilion. Come raise your voice for justice, and freedom for Palestine!

This is the most ruthless act of union busting in the history of the UK games industry. Yesterday, @rockstargames.com unfairly fired over 30 employees for union activity. We won't back down, and we're not scared - we will fight for every member to be reinstated.

In a fit of nostalgia, I was just reading the Wikipedia entry about the Shadow World Master Atlas. There's a review quote ("Like certain 'generic' products, it begs the question of why customers could not just invent this material themselves") which makes me think of @wulfboyraff.bsky.social

We can not stress the importance of resisting this. Share and sign this petition: petition.parliament.uk/petitions/73...

Rather than permitting the Trump administration to frighten us out of resisting, we must understand this broad, vague, and performative executive order as an effort to intimidate. It should catalyze us into urgent organizing, not paralyze us. Only collective action can keep us safe and free.

Green membership across Great Britain has now overtaken the Lib Dems. @greenparty.org.uk passed 78,000 last night. @scottishgreens.org have 7,800, producing a total of 85,800. Last month, the Lib Dems told the BBC they had 83,174: www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

I have taken the Tylenol that was in the medicine cabinet and which they think probably is the reason you like trains forgive me but that’s bullshit you got autism from your dad

Baffling discovery this morning that @michaelhobbes.bsky.social was (blissfully?) unaware of the existence of leftist lift bros. That's like 43% of my IG feed by volume - but I appreciate that my algo is probably pretty niche

The Green Party now has 78,000 members. Thats 10,000+ new members this month alone who want to draw the line. I know there are so many more people who want to take a stand. Join us: join.greenparty.org.uk

🚨 Protest outside the Reform UK conference on Friday 5th September at the Birmingham NEC 🚨 🕰️ : 4.30pm 📍 : Birmingham International Train Station Time to kick racist Reform out of Brum! ✊🏻✊🏽✊🏿

The silence on the persecution of trans people is deafening.

The BBC is explicitly, consciously pivoting right to pander to a party with just 5 MPs. Where's the outrage? Where's the coverage?! They are converting our national broadcaster into a mouthpiece for the far right and no one is doing anything about it! bylinetimes.com/2025/06/09/b...

I just signed the campaign: Pass the Employment Rights Bill in full. Every name that is added builds momentum around the campaign and makes it more likely for us to get the change we want to see. Will you join me by taking action on this campaign? www.megaphone.org.uk/petitions/pa...

Protest in Birmingham

www.theguardian.com/society/2025... This is fucking harmful and obscene. Sexual abuse isn't caused by extreme arousal it's caused by rape culture, opportunity, impunity, sympathy for abusers. Rape is increased by the idea that rapists just can't help themselves.

🗓️ : Saturday 17th May ⏰ : 11AM 🪧 : Stop Fascist Britain First 🗣️ Britain First: the racist, fascists, homophobes are not welcome in Birmingham! Birmingham must stand united and join this counter-protest. 📣 So, Birmingham, say it loud: "Britain First, you racist scum. Kick the fascists out of Brum!"

Having left the Labour Party last week...yeah

This, in @georgeeaton.bsky.social's Morning Call, is the argument we made in our report 'Thin Ice: Why the UK's progressive majority could stop Labour's landslide melting away'. Labour has much to lose if it fails to provide bold, progressive leadership. READ: compassonline.org.uk/publications...

I've tried asking a couple of folks directly, but does anyone know of anything going on in Birmingham (UK) this weekend re: the Supreme Court decision this week?

Reform backers are importing the US’s ‘big money’ playbook to UK politics

🚨DR UK's Statement Opposing the Supreme Court's Ruling on 'Biological Sex' 'We stand in solidarity with the Trans community as they experience an onslaught of rights erosions and attacks on their lives.' Read our full statement here: www.disabilityrightsuk.org/news/disabil...

Unison is the largest women’s organization in the UK. It has a million women members. The Unison women’s conference just voted for a motion that said; “trans women are women and trans men are men” with no-one speaking against it. Transphobia is a top-down, elite practice.
