This is true. Obviously people of all social classes vote for all parties but *in general* the base for fascism isn't the actual working class but small business owners and retirees.

Exactly, we’ve seen the EU embrace the far right, literally, and build fortress Europe. My favourite stat is when the UK left the EU, 25% of the global majority MEPs disappeared

Labour Party Deputy Leader Lucy Powell: "We don't do hostile takeovers in the Labour Party." Lol. Lmao. The brass neck on these ghouls.

🧵My response: “This statement is utterly enraging. The government is doing the exact opposite of what it claims. Taking away gender affirming healthcare for trans youth is taking away their dignity and is completely disrespectful of their autonomy.

Chelsea Perkins murdered the man who raped her. She pled guilty and took full responsibility. She was given 22.5 years in prison. Jesse Mack Butler raped and strangled two children. One sustained such severe neck injuries she almost died. He got community service.

Shaking off the fleas update:

How DO you make good democratic choices against a background of chaotic decline? I guess we're finding out...

Whomst among us could've foreseen that this was not a bulletproof winning strategy

regular reminder: keir starmer quite literally told the left, and progressive voters, to leave. he told us he did not want our votes.

I think the greens are going to have to deal very quickly with internal contradictions between more and less radical or socialist wings, and think strategically about how they deal with the very real limits of what councils can do and afford.

Anas Sarwar was viciously transphobic in this election campaign and, for that (and other reasons), he is going to lose his seat. Learn the fucking lesson.

We're still here campaigning for Free, Safe, Legal and Local abortion access for anyone who wants or needs one in Ireland. The next step towards that is being debated on Thursday 14th May. Let your TD know that the promise of May 25th 2018 has not been realised yet and we demand they listen to us.

I'm sorry you claim to support trans pride now do you??? Desperate and disgracefully disingenuous stuff from Labour

A Palestinian woman & her 78yr old mum vanished in Gaza & no-one knows what happened to them Months later their family discovered a photograph posted by an IDF soldier on social media showing the two women blindfolded in an IDF vehicle Sky News has identified the Israeli soldiers in the photo

"Trans youth who wanted hormones but couldn’t access them were nearly twice as likely to attempt suicide than those who could." If Wes Streeting and Louis Appleby had a conscience they would apologize and withdraw from public life. But, of course, they don't.

Don't think this is much of a pitch, Kieth

Remember when the Guardian ousted Dawn Foster for suggesting Tom Watson was ousting the last guy, which he was www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Again, cannot be stressed enough, mere months into Starmer’s premiership, hundreds of radicalised right-wingers attempted open pogroms, attacking places of worship and hotels housing people coded as brown and Muslim, and our he has shown zero interest in interrogating what catalysed those actions.

Really cannot be overstated how much heinous damage across the world Britain is yet to pay for.

We do not talk enough about the way homelessness drives 'guaranteed rent' housing, and the negative impact that has on everyone. There are many better ways: inews.co.uk/opinion/uk-r...

I am extremely curious to see whether we'll have an urgent press conference from our useless ham Prime Minister where he wangs on about how there's an urgent need to tackle anti-immigrant sentiment and the far-right.

Hind Rajab would've been 8-years-old today.

Graham Linehan having that conviction overturned despite the very clear evidence of him damaging her phone shows how utterly transphobic our judiciary is. A group of elites utterly entrenched in extremism.

Oxfam contributor telling AJE that Israel is destroying water infrastructure in Lebanon; as well as other civilian infrastructure it’s a shame very few people on this site seems to give a shit

Black Louisianans have suffered more than their share in this country just since Hurricane Katrina There are still people who are displaced. Dead people who should be alive. People who never got their money. Who never recovered what they lost That injustice of that magnitude is tolerated is gross

I am screaming at this green leaflet, "only the greens can beat labour" is a phrase that even a year ago would have sounded like an insane thing to say, and yet here we are!

This story is fucking wild and damning, and yet the most insane part is that they were trying to go after her for documenting racist abuse THAT WAS DIRECTED AT HER PERSONALLY

Just to reiterate, this government could vote through anything it fucking wanted. Anything shit that’s happening that no-one’s tried to fix; that’s on them. Poverty, homelessness, persecution of vulnerable minorities, corruption, pollution, price gouging, asset stripping. All of it.

"The number of people who support the freedom of transgender people to live their lives is up 5% up from 70% in 2024." Good to see that despite everything being thrown at it, most people aren't buying the anti trans narrative here

The headline doesn't do justice to the malicious, violent, corrupt and intentionally dishonest actions of the police who humiliated and arrested this woman, twice! For no reason! These institutions are unreformable

Truly an absolutely fucking thrilling time to be a minority in the UK right now. These are all from just the past few weeks.

He should have spent the rest of his days on an endless penitential crawl through the streets of Baghdad, begging widows for forgiveness. Instead, he's followed ever dollar down the street like it's attached to a fishing line. A shameless shell of a human being.

Five decades of pumping out escalating terror that somewhere, some disabled person might be getting a free sandwich, will do that to a nation.

I've said this a million times: you can't "fix immigration" as an issue by getting numbers down because the people you are trying to appease are using totally different metrics, where a brown face equals an immigration. the only way to "fix immigration" is to challenge that attitude.

Just casually buying THREE HOUSES to "supplement my pension", as one does, you know, just a perfectly average thing for an average person to do. Whomst amongst us doesn't have the collateral to allow you to get three mortgages or whatever the fuck.

Doctors told me i was trans, which isn't real, but if they'd tested me for autism they'd have realised i was autistic, which is also fake. I have been scammed by three separate MLM schemes.

these people would implode if they had to work at tescos. or do shift work. or take weekend and evening work because the day job doesn’t pay enough. or do deliveroo. this is truly pathetic.

hahahahahaha *deep breath* HAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Anyone on the left who wasn’t actively involved from 2015-19 needs to know what’s coming. 1, they’re going to throw multiple, often contradictory lies at the wall to see what sticks. Polanski will be simultaneously weak and strong, timid and aggressive, passive and dictatorial, old fashioned and

“An Garda Síochána and third level institutions are where people are most likely to be asked to take part in sexual acts to access public services, a new report has found” That should be plastered across the front page of every paper in this country.

I’ve been hearing so much anger and disappointment from frontline workers about the BBC investigation into fraudulent asylum claims. One of the most damning responses has come from one of the experts they interviewed, solicitor Ana Gonzalez. It’s really worth reading her response in full:

100% this. Same goes for London "pride" and the many others that seem to exist solely to take sponsorhsip money from and platform the worst companies on earth We cannot entrust our liberation to institutions that try to contort us into the system instead of breaking it

It be crazy if I didn’t say happy birthday Lenin!

Can't wait to see them try this in North of Ireland

Thanks BBC, so good to have a public broadcaster that chooses to platform exclusively cranks and bigots, can't see any downsides to this

Pleased to report I am (of course) on the infamous anti-AI blocklist and also whatever this is lol
