rod liddle has twice written columns that expose him as an obvious pedophile. in one columns he complains about not being able to download and view child sexual assault materials and in the other he claimed he could never be a teacher bcos he wouldn't be able to resist the girls.

The older I get, the more my politics mature from childish, naïve beliefs like "the world is complicated and leaders have to make hard decisions" to more serious, adult principles like "hurting people is bad and helping people is good."

please consider that "talking about antisemitism is a distraction from how evil Israel is and you're speaking over its victims" is the same rhetorical trick as "talking about Islamophobia is a distraction from how evil Muslim countries are and you're speaking over their victims"

This is the #poem I read at end of my resignation - it will be in the follow up collection to Ice Cream for a Broken Tooth , most likely called Let The Quiet Ones Rise flapjackpress.co.uk/shop/ice-cre...

As he celebrates his 100th Birthday this very day, can we all take a moment to acknowledge that time when Dick Van Dyke won the internet internet. Forever.

While the Divorced Sitcom Writer continues on his decade-long tantrum that nobody wants to work with him & listen to his bile any more, Robin Ince voluntarily resigns with dignity from his show because he wouldn't just be quiet in his support of marginalised people. What a world.

Very sad that I felt I had no choice but to resign from The Infinite Monkey Cage - a victory for the transphobes and other bigots - I did it because so much of the media has chosen to believe the kind and empathetic people are a fiction - they are real and so often unrepresented.

Striking BL staff, struggling to pay their rent, advised to consider not giving presents this year, and interim CEO, Jeremy Silver, has the nerve to tell them they ‘don’t live in a real world’. Only 17% of staff guaranteed the Living Wage (£14.80 ph) suggests acute familiarity with the ‘real world’.

Did you know about these young people currently on hunger strike ? www.amnesty.org.uk/press-releas...

Every accusation is a confession. They're doing the same thing they did with Corbyn, deciding the only reason people could want an alternative to them is that they were idiots who'd been tricked. I think people will be far less patient with it this time.

A real EHRC inquiry into Labour feel to this one: even the harshest interpretation of what’s been said bears almost no resemblance to the grandiose claims that were made before, and the process is *on rails* for crackdowns after, because the lads won’t let such small details disrupt the plan.

you can say "imagine all that but more extreme and less pushback", but you're going to have to actually tell me what is "more extreme" than 30 years+ to ILR, or no citizenship for settled refugees, or a ban on family reunion, or bankrupting people with fees. and what pushback is there *now*?

one day soon a terf will be accused of being a paedophile because she's eating chips and i hope they get it on film

This is how Spanish TV announced the boycott of Eurovision If Russia is banned for what they're doing to Ukraine, surely Israel should be banned for what they're doing in Palestine? When is the UK going to boycott Eurovision?

This part is *infuriating*. This cis woman heard an 80 year old trans woman say, 'This is the only place I've been respected as a woman IN MY LIFE.' And did not immediately think, 'I will fight every inch like a dying badger to keep her in my organization.' Absolutely pathetic.

Lmao so Reeves lied about a budget surplus of £4.2 billion ti justify tax rises lol! It's incredible besides being so nasty, is how ham-fisted incompetent they are at it all lol

Tis the season... 🎄 (I do miss old twitter)

From a comrade, which I think is pretty accurate:

A controversial opinion in the UK: having a standard emails job then sitting in a house you bought for a song and watching it rise exponentially in value due to political choices that have nothing to do with you is not it fact “working very hard to get what you have”

The diplomatic "achievement" of the ceasefire was to recalibrate the tempo of the genocide sufficiently to get it off the front pages and the news bulletins, thus alleviating the political pressure on Israel's western accomplices. www.theguardian.com/world/2025/n...

The funny thing about social democrats posting this image all the time is that this is exactly what they do to any actual revolutionary socialist government

I feel like this one is due for a re-up today

Liberals love budget time because they picture themselves as the stern dad making tough calls on pocket money and not the miserable ghouls culling the poor that they are

This week has been a good reminder of this April 1934 headline. Communists and Jews in Belfast disrupt a fascist rally in Library Street. Belfast will always be an antifascist city. We keep showing up for each other to defeat fascism even if the police & state backs it. [1/n]

i’ve been sort of peripherally aware of enoch burke for a while but it was only seeing this article that i saw how absolutely batshit insane his whole family is, leading me to discover this incredible paragraph on his family’s wikipedia page

As with everything: make these programs universally free. If you are deeply concerned that rich people are getting access to universal government programs, then tax their incomes or assets.

Fixed it for you

Not seeing this being referred to as a white male grooming gang, which it is.

Emily Maitlis not a doctor not trans not an expert in this field worked for ideological reasons to get healthcare for kids shut down, paid for by the licence fee - and she complains about ideological capture. Absolutely farcical

Yes, "pregnant people" is inclusive language that describes pregnant cis women AS WELL AS trans men and nonbinary people, a lot of whom can get pregnant. But it also describes, like, 12-year-old girls who get pregnant. Do centrist pig-dogs think THEY are "women" too? Coz...bit of a red flag, that.

Is this your Slay Kween

Lmao. I knew there was more to come out about this after Starmer backed her. Lad has never seen a rake he won't step on.

@izzykamikaze.bsky.social was making this point only the other day: A huge number of men associated with these 'protect our women and kids' riots in the UK have convictions for abuse of women and children. #speirgorm

J. D. VANCE: We need to end DEI. MONKEY’S PAW: (raises one finger)

None of my business if people don’t want to engage with theory, but I would like it if it was more widely understood that theory doesn’t - as some seem to believe - just teach you that ‘The World is Bad’, which is of course something we can see with our own eyes & experience

I am yet to hear any convincing argument from E&W Greens about how they wouldn't follow their sister parties of Scotland, Ireland and Austria (to name but a few) that sounded OK rhetorically but shat the bed at the first hint of a stint as a junior coalition partner in an otherwise shite govt.

Royal Mail is owned by Czech billionaire Daniel Křetínský, who could give less of a flying fuck what happens to the post in the UK. NATIONALIZE WITHOUT COMPENSATION.

The discourse in the West for the next few days will be e.g. "for all the caveats, let's just be relieved". And no, let's not. That's a feeling for Palestinians, not us. Palestinians are human beings who deserve much better than the choice we've given them between genocide or colonial subjugation

*Sighs,* Israel deserves far more blame for the circumstances. October 7th wasn't when this all started.

Gavin has shown himself unfit to be President. This is why we should let our current President take a third term, despite his age. Who cares what the constitution says.

Israel’s arms imports from UK hit record high values. The only thing I can say to the British government is this, how can I believe what you say but I see what you do? www.channel4.com/news/israels...

An Israeli prison guard deliberately slammed a metal door on the already broken leg of a 70-year-old Scottish woman who was abducted from the flotilla. Torture.
