So is Trump going to cede power to Vance? Invent himself a new title - maybe President Emeritus? Then say they are co-leaders, while he gets himself back to full health?

I think a lot of ignorance about disability comes because many simply cannot comprehend how many of us manage with the symptoms we have. They think we must be exaggerating. The truth is were nearly always doing the opposite. It's almost always worse than we say.

Starmer is showing just how divorced from reality he is. His cuts to PIP will actually prevent more disabled people from working. This is a fundamentally disastrous policy which will harm people. Any decent Labour MP needs to oppose it. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

I’m relieved that the government has reversed the most harmful winter fuel payment cuts. I wish it hadn’t taken 10 months and a battering at the ballot box to get here. So I’m once again urging the government not to make the same mistake by cutting disability benefits.

Reminder that the current EHRC just lost a case where they tried to ban protest outside their HQ. They are not currently run by serious people. If it were 1962, they’d be telling Black people they’d “just have to accept fewer rights”.

The enemy of my enemy is still my enemy but I still like seeing them fight

Elon Musk, who until a matter of days ago was a Trump administration employee, is now alleging that Donald Trump is in the Epstein files.

Can’t believe I’ve just seen Wes Streeting on Sky News!?! advocating the return of both the death penalty!!! and child labour for under-12s!?!? Mostly because I *haven’t* seen that. But admit it: you kinda half believed it for a second #blueLabour

This is what it's like to live in a racist society. If the perpetrator is white, they're just some lone madman whose actions have no political implication. If they're an immigrant - in particular a dark-skinned Muslim immigrant - they represent their group and are part of a political attack.

Court ruling on legal definition of a woman ‘misinterpreted’, Lady Hale says www.theguardian.com/law/2025/may...

This is a plainly genocidal statement.

If you wouldn't accept "we are at risk of becoming an island of strangers" from Kemi Badenoch or Nigel Farage you probably shouldn't accept it from Keir Starmer. Don't pretzel yourself trying to explain why it's ok from the guy in the red tie.

I hate Brian Griffin

You’re telling me that right wing voters that Labour was trying to appeal to voted for a right wing party anyway and left wing voters decided not to vote for Labour because they’re too right wing now? Who could have possibly predicted this.

Tax the super-rich and multinational corporations. Scrap the disability benefit cuts and the two child limit. End austerity. Put money in people’s pockets. Work together to build a fairer, healthier, and more equal society. This is the programme we need. [3/3]

The leadership needs to end its obsession with chasing the far-right on immigration, which only bolsters Reform. Instead, we must tackle the real causes of falling living standards and broken public services like austerity, de-industrialisation, and climate vandalism. [2/3]

Labour losing Runcorn was avoidable and as much a result of our party’s failures as Reform’s rise. Now, we need to learn the right lessons, not double down on the same mistakes. Cutting disability benefits and scrapping the Winter Fuel Allowance made voters abandon us. [1/3]

The UKSC ruling was an opportunity for the government and the EHRC to step up and commit to affirm the rights of all. They've failed on every measure, choosing to peddle hate and discrimination instead. We've heard enough: Kishwer Falkner and Bridget Phillipson must resign. 1/2

Almost no MP actually gives a shit about Jo Cox because they've spent a decade invoking her name to shield themselves from criticism while they spout the rhetoric of her killer.

"AI is coming, its inevitable" no its not you sniveling weirdo. how are those 3D TVs going. how are NFT markets looking these days. Seen anything cool in the metaverse lately? anyone who says we need to resign to using it, that itll be here whether we like it or not, is a feckless dipshit.

Starmer’s claims that he wants to “lower the temperature” about trans rights ring hollow when he’s standing next to the oven with his hand on the dial cranking the heat up and trans people are the ones in the pan

Risqué

metro.co.uk/2025/04/22/1... What about Sally in Hollyoaks? @anniewallace.com played soap’s first and so far only trans lesbian and had a very memorable relationship with McQueen Matriarch, Myra!

I’ll reply back to posts from TERFs, but I’ll block them as soon as they misgender someone. That’s not polite discussion. Get fucked

"UK Traitors line up revealed", and it's just every member of the Labour cabinet

If I was a trans woman, I’d buy myself a Radar key from Amazon. I would put my own safety over the convenience of others. I say this as a disabled person. I’ll also let any trans folks use my key if they don’t have access themselves. Labour and the UK should be ashamed of Keir Starmer

Keir Starmer is spineless. He and his government are set on destroying the lives of vulnerable minorities. I thought the likes of Bridget Phillipson and Angela Rayner would have tempered the trans-misogyny. The Labour Party has been bought by Big-Bigotry. Shame on everyone who supports them

A branded villain.

The World: Fuck Trump’s and his tariffs! Keir Stairmat: Walk Over Me Donny. Pretty please!

There’s a reviewer on @digitalspy.com who shits on everything they see. They concentrate on the negatives of every drama - no matter how trivial - and isn’t shy in telling writers how they would have improved it. Can we can get a balance between obsequious sycophancy and being needlessly negative?

It didn’t take long for the toxic fanboys (always boys) to take over this beautiful paradise. If you haven’t seen it, it isn’t ‘awful’ If you don’t like it, it isn’t ’universally hated’ If someone disagrees, they aren’t ‘the problem’

metro.co.uk/2025/02/04/c... Great analysis of the upcoming changes to Corrie and Emmerdale by @duncanlindsay.bsky.social Emmerdale will benefit from this as much as Corrie. Thursday’s double episodes can stop being the only ‘essential’ episode and drama can be spread more evenly over the week

‘Not every fantasy book needs a map’ Yes it fucking does! Give me maps, family trees, the entire pedigree and genome of their aunt’s magic dog!

There are people alive today that will still be alive in the 22nd Century

Tipping culture sorta makes sense when the minimum wage is lower for hospitality workers, not so much in the UK. Higher wages is the responsibility of the employer, not the customer. Take that 10% ‘service charge’ off my bill, thank you

This song has been living in my head, rent-free, for almost 29 years

@duncanlindsay.bsky.social - have you listened to today’s On The Sofa podcast? Could Ben Price be leaving too? One segment had me wondering if Nick was for chopping block too?

If you see something awful on Twitter it's ok you don't have to screenshot it to make sure we all see it here as well

Bluesky would be a lot better without all the mentions of Twitter. Some of us just don’t want to know

@duncanlindsay.bsky.social Happiest of Happy Birthdays! Hope you have a cake-filled day!

I’ve had about 10 bot accounts follow me in the past hour. Anyone else noticed an influx?

After coming down with Covid (first time infection) on the day it was released, I’ve finally seen #WickedPartOne Now it’s time for the longest intermission ever!

www.bbc.co.uk/news/article... What a cunt

I didn’t leave Twitter just for folks to be telling me what the right wingers are saying. I don’t want to see it, even with an ‘ironic’ take

Dear Worldwide Cinemas Please consider having singalong viewings for Wicked. This will add additional revenue and hopefully stop the attention seekers from ruining regular viewings Thanks in advance

Any #BlueBloods fans wanna help me understand why they have turned Henry Reagan into a total asshole? He’s just a thorn in every single family members’ side. Is it a dementia storyline??

Name your favourites from Star Trek: Uniform: Picard Season 3 Spock: Ethan Peck Couple: Raffi and Seven Character: Seven of Nine Ship: Defiant NCC 74205 Villain: Borg Queen Series: DS9 Captain: Sisko Movie: First Contact Theme: Picard Season 3 / First Contact Guest: Michelle Forbes

I left Twitter because I didn’t like the vibe anymore. If I was in a bar and a load of EDL types came in and started mouthing off, I’d get up and leave. I wouldn’t try and have polite discourse, I’d just find somewhere I felt more comfortable. It’s up to the staff to sort it out, not the punters
