I'm old enough to remember when he came to power and vowed to put country before party - now we know which country he meant.

In breach of international law. Well so much for Brittania rules the waves. Under Starmer it's Brittania waives the rules (for their donors of course). Still he's succeeded in his main aim. No way will I, nor many other life long Labour voters, vote for them under Starmer or any of his cabinet

Good morning Bluesky. THE CHEESE TAX! THE CHEESE TAX! WHEN THE CHEESE DRAWER OPENS YOU GOTTA PAY THE TAX! VOID KITTY DEMANDS CHEESE OFFERINGS! Moreover we must #DestroyICE & #SmashFascism

Needed this. Paying it forward:

Maybe if i was an ai, the bsky team would care about me

Dramatic to say, but the entire legal and state apparatus of the UK is increasingly obviously turning against trans people; and on top of that, the Supreme Court clearly has complete contempt for devolution and seems particularly inclined to rule against SG even where it's absurd (UNCRC) to do so

Government mandated harassment appointment done. I really appreciate having a good advisor who, upon logging on to the video call, sees me in a pile of blankets in a darkened room wearing sunglasses and goes just checks off that I was there, books my next appointment and lets me go.

On a me related note. I spent a lot of time around Crumpsall before and after my top surgery. I remember, it seems kinda silly to say, going to the supermarket near there and being massively impressed at the whole sections of kosher food (and big sections of halal food right next to it.)

Seeing the news out of Manchester and I am shocked and horrified. My heart goes out to the people affected by this disgusting attack. I am not going to relate it to current events because that would be inhumane.

And this is why you never ever give them an inch. Migrants deported for crimes > Reform suggesting fly tipping is enough. Reform of ECHR > leaving ECHR. Removing citizenship for dual national criminals > removing for a UK national only They will never be satisfied

She was my friend and this is an absolutely disgusting comparison to make.

I know I need to speak to them about it, come to some kind of compromise, but I'm not sure I can be civil never mind reasonable.

Upstairs neighbours playing music loud enough that I couldn't block it out. Again. I just put Sick Fuck by Unter Null on repeat, turned the volume and bass up as far as they'll go and went out to the shop.

At one point Klein says that the polling on the issue had gotten worse over last two years and instead of seeing that as proof that polling is movable by messaging (which is his business!!!) he just thinks we should give in. And as shown here that’s what we’ve been doing and no we have to stop

He’s in his basket

Labour parties of the nation you are the issue not the Greens, SNP or Plaid Cymru. Own the mess you made by pandering to the worst people, utter joke party

My new neighbours upstairs are lovely, but they are not quiet. Like, I can hear their tv with earplugs in _and_ noise cancelling headphones on. This is not usually more than an annoyance but I have zero coping ability today.

I hear that people who live in Dublin, have a spare room, and rent it to Liselle are scientifically proven to be cooler, better looking, and more likely to be financially and romantically successful

Love to start the week with an "If you like your racist friends so much you want me to be nice to them....goodbye and have a nice life." Now I am exhausted and need to lie on the sofa for a cry.

Untie: The escapologists' union.

Oh fuck off Darren this guy is an absolute KNOB

Uk labour are basically a party of middle managers who have nothing more to give you than a smug look and a P45

It's always interesting when some piece of shit is busy trolling about and yelling abuse at people, clearly having a wonderful time, the as soon as I go "this person seems sus, could they be lying about who they are?" I get blocked. Hmmm.

Yeees, everyone who disagrees with your violent hatred of Palestinians is White and racist. I'm really not sure this is an actual Black person and not a caricature developed by a white maga piece of shit.

May one day you be treated the way you treat others

Hey everyone! Check out this fascist piece of shit. I hope you receive everything you wish upon the Palestinian people. bsky.app/profile/adep...

This is *really* important. Our elections regulator isn’t independent. Reform’s Arron Banks has said the Electoral Commission should be abolished The architecture of British democracy is really weak and easily ripped out. It needs to be protected now

Apparently today, a great honour was bestowed… I was knighted by the Mighty Boop Sir George: Defender of the Horizontal Life Pause & Keeper of the mighty treatos Embarking upon a most noble quest… The Quest for a Third Breakfast. * I think she just wanted to boop me

Stop buying Brandon Sanderson's books.

NEW: Yet more businesses and organisations warn the Government that the EHRC’s proposed trans bathroom ban is unworkable. This comes after our open letter from 650+ firms urging them to reject it. Reach out to your MP, and ask them to make sure that Ministers listen to these concerns.

I know it seems bleak lads: a member-funded party has no need for free designer clobber or backhander Taylor Swift tickets. But I’ve got an amazing plan for how we can get all of our bungs back, and live high on the hog once more! Listen up. First,

It is *unbelievably* reckless, destructive and idiotic, even before you realise it was done entirely to ensure that e.g. Steve Reed could keep getting free Liverpool tickets.

I have spent *years* telling people partisan Israel wingnuttery mostly exists on a left-right axis, because it does. And I cannot tell you how utterly toxic it is for the Labour Party to conceal donations from billionaire Israel cranks, to crush the Palestinian solidarity movement. It is astonishing

You'll never find more eager participants in the border regime and the rhetoric designed to harden it than some second generation immigrants. The amount of "my parents came here the right way" I heard from people whose parents I know for a fact didn't blew my mind growing up.

Since Charlie Kirk’s assassination, HBCUs received terroristic threats. Black students have been expelled or forced to withdraw. Black professors and teachers have been fired and placed on leave. A Black firefighter was placed on leave. A Black journalist was fired thebarbedwire.com/2025/09/26/f...

Rest In Power Assata Shakur

Never forget obama raising the bounty on Assata Shakur.

Assata Shakur has "died in Havana, Cuba, as a result of health conditions and her advanced age." She was 78.

Confirmed: Assata Shakur has joined the ancestors. cubaminrex.cu/es/nota-de-p...

A divide in journalism right now that's worth watching is between reporters who understand how bad things are but are mindful of their reputation and not wanting to be perceived as too extreme or hyperbolic and reporters who feel things are so urgent they have to use urgent, clear language.

The most glaring example of this is when the Guardian’s Amelia Gentleman who did so much to highlight the Windrush scandal talked about struggling to get the government to care while sharing her breakfast table with government minister Jo Johnson brother of Boris who she met at family parties

BEHOLD! My first ever choose-your-own-adventure game! "i will strangle a horse" - over seven and a half thousand words of absolute nonsense, as you help Martin Jenkins on his first day at The Farm. brainmage.itch.io/i-will-stran... Totally free to play! I mean, you can pay, but you can also not!

Hey Lewis does you supporting something the Tony Blair Institute backs have anything to do with this

once you understand that these ppl are all related, all married, and they all go to the same dinner parties and events it becomes very clear just how this country became such a shithole so quickly also why there’s no diversity of thought in our media or political class. they all think the same shit

in terms of “bringing diversity of opinion” it’s kinda weird that 80% of conservative contributors at newspapers are all related to each other in a pseudo polycule

The likely endgame of this all is pretty chilling, too. Users will find loopholes, the press will clutch their pearls, and the govt will inevitably decide that relying on sites to do their own checks is insufficient. Meanwhile they'll circle back on "entitlement cards" to pacify the racists. 1/

He’s done it again!
