"My children are freezing every night. Our only dream is a small tent to protect us. My campaign is still at zero… not a single share, not a single help. Please don’t scroll away — you might be our only hope." ❄️🙏 gofund.me/e7fbae487

thing about stuff like this is it makes me wonder how many times he's done it before and gotten away with it.

they already did this with transphobia and were highly successful. so i see no reason why they won't be successful in all other aspects of policy forming too.

me for like 2 years: wes streeting is the one person in the parliamentary labour party less likeable than keir starmer. centrists: nah, i saw him on bbc news, he was great. he's just what this country needs. reality:

lmao just how unpopular is wes streeting?!

might as well be describing 'gender critical'.

we live in really dangerous times.

have no idea why this caught me a block so im jus going to assume transphobia. i wasn't the first person to disagree with his post.

The problem with the ungovernable hypothesis, is that it's undermined by every stage of this government becoming more unpopular having an obvious - and understandable - cause.

The fundamental issue is that Starmer ran on an unachievable manifesto, had no real plan to deliver it, and now due to constraints he imposed he is running on a policy agenda that is actively rejected by his own MPs. Those are all choices that governments don't actually have to make.

i don't agree with any of this. this is only happening bcos our commentary class won't allow anyone who isn't a corporate stooge become prime minister. may, johnson, truss, sunak, starmer were all basically forced on the public by columnists.

There's no reason to accept this as normal, though. Much of Starmer and Labour's unpopularity is not misfortune but his own doing. Mandelson was a choice. Consistently pursuing policy positions designed to appeal to people who will not vote for you - and alienating core supporters - is a choice.

i refuse to pay for a broadcaster that regularly refers to me and my community using slurs and anti-scientific language.

keir starmer is a former human rights lawyer. the important word there is 'former'.

must... make... everything about... america....

labour are turning the country in to a shithole. right now. at this very moment. yet every day i have to put up with ppl ranting at me about how if don't support labour we'll get reform. it's always the same kind of person too: retired and living in europe somewhere.

so @bphillipsonmp.bsky.social and @darrenpjones.bsky.social and the labour party claim graham is a kindly liberal who was 'cancelled' by the 'powerful trans lobby' in reality he's a far right dickhead who, were this nazi germany, would be ranting about 'the protocols' and cheering on the gestapo

i really am morose today.

The Democratic consultant ecosystem instinct to avoid thoughtful race and culture engagement by chasing trends and calling it “youth” marketing Take 746476

can't help but think there is probably a corrosive effect of having sex trafficker-elite emails unveiled for months on end as one of the biggest cultural/news stories of the last year— unearthing an inexcusable moral rot in the upper echelons of power—but without any real accountability/justice

all labour mps are 'utterly disgraceful'. there are no good ones.

We are so cold 🥶💔 We are so cold 🥶💔 We are so cold 🥶💔 Freezing rain, long nights, no shelter. Our children are wet and shaking, and donations have stopped 😢 We urgently need €250 for a tent to protect my children. Any help can save lives 💔🙏 chuffed.org/project/1591...

Trump posted racist images of the Obamas. We've always known Trump is a vile racist. I will not be sharing them, because we're already well aware of who and what he fucking is. Now you're aware of what he did, you can go seek them out if you wish. Widespread sharing only spreads hurt, imo.

'i have been to the uk and therefore i know it better than you, a 42 year old, who was born, raised, and currently living there' - some idiot american who went to like london one time

labour are the most explicitly transphobic party of significance in the uk. look at this fucking american telling me about my country.

So much of their fearmongering about what HRT does is predicated on the notion that there's some inborn essence that makes the "other sex's hormone" incompatible. We're just meat machines running on chemical instructions, and our meat doesn't particularly care which set of instructions it gets.

There's so much talk with the words designed and intended by TERFs. Evolution doesn't work like that trans people just exist and HRT works because there's no evolutionary reason why it wouldn't work.

See also: When they say "biological sex" is defined by gametes, and try to include infertile cis people in their definitions of man/woman by talking about what gamete their bodies are "intended" to make. The imagined and intangible "purpose" of a body trumps the actual physical state of said body.

It's all just Intelligent Design with a mask on.

I've been out 5 years. The ONLY transphobe I've met was my sister who was supportive at first but suddenly went full terf 3 years later when I came out as poly (suspect she was radicalised by fb groups or mumsnet) Real people don't give a shit, but the ruling class desperately want them to

i love it when labour mps proudly post a photo of themselves with wes streeting as tho that's not gonna come back and bite them in the ass in a few years.

how well this maps to the epstein files is dealing me constant psychic damage over time. red numbers floating over my head every 15 seconds.

it's so starkly obvious as soon as you see the chart showing how many articles about trans people are published in a 30 day period since 2012.

Before reading about the Olympic Penisgate I presumed it was to enhance the penis to such a level it would result in a more forward leaning centre of gravity and cut through the air like a concorde nose, but maybe that's just me

Tbf it used to work cos most of the people watching it were 2-3 pints deep most evenings, they haven't caught up to that no longer being the case.

Biological truth... as they post an AI image of a fable about human parthenogenesis. They are beyond parody.

thing that makes 'who will replace keir starmer?' such a boring question is that nothing will change bcos the problem with this government isn't who the prime minister is. it's the upper echelons of the labour party itself and that isn't going to change at all.

There is SO MUCH British comedy where I'm like "if I was very drunk and doing this with a mate, I too would think it's hilarious. But I'm sober and watching it. And it isn't."

what are the health risks of injecting acid in to your penis? hard hitting questions being asked right here.

i really am in a terrible mood this morning and all of these randos with their 'i am going to wildly misinterpret your post' shit are doing my head in.

oh for fuck sake. im in no fucking mood today. just go away.

Folks really need to learn that "the organised, militant anti-trans hate movement is a construct of the ruling class" is not the same statement as "every working class person everywhere is a flawless trans ally", and pretending that it is is actively harmful.

The Lemkin Institute For The Prevention of Genocide has given Starmers government a red flag for their treatment of trans and intersex people.

Someone pulled that with me yesterday and I was just not having it. It's ok to have different lived experiences, you know.

[posts about britain] american: nuh-uh, you're wrong, bcos i live in austin, texas. like just fucking shut up.

If it's the hampstead ponds consultation results are here: news.cityoflondon.gov.uk/consultation...

I've only met a handful of transphobes irl, usually at work where people are angry anyway because I'm a GP clinic receptionist But even then; they wouldn't be transphobes if it weren't for the financial elite funnelling transphobic propaganda through the media, still met way more decent people here

yeah so today is gonna be a 'fuck off randos' day, huh? where did you all come from all of a sudden? im not interested in your 'ackshoooallllly' bullshit.

americans can't help themselves.

We're literally days removed from the publication of a public consultation that found 84% support for trans people. The idea that the majority of people hate us in secret is fiction.
