Argentina One, Kay Burley Nil

What ableist nonsense is this now?! “I can go for a walk, that’s free” Lucky you. That time has an opportunity cost. Not everyone is able to walk for half an hour or get away from responsibilities at home. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

I checked the Wikipedia list of UK cities to confirm mine, thinking it might be Swansea; but it’s Coventry.

Imagining a conversation between Rajan and Lowe about deporting all of the brown people, ‘apart from you, of course’.

ppl in our media say stuff like: 'we are all agreed about immigrants' 'we are all agreed about welfare cuts' 'we are all agreed about the trannies' none of them actually care what the public thinks about any of these things. they're all just talking amongst themselves and they're the WORST PEOPLE.

“Scottish Water is absolutely something that UK gov't could learn from. It was established quite deliberately as a public corporation. There are upsides and downsides to that - it's not beyond criticism. But compared to privatised English companies, it has been a stable model that's performed well.”

Popped out to B&Q on my lunch break to collect 3 items ordered online for ‘click and collect’. One had arrived to them by courier this morning, the other two were store stock. One of the store items that was “in store and ready to collect” was not actually in stock.

LGB with the T. Labour is losing queer voters over their treatment of trans people (amongst other failings).

Peatfield - the woman who took the piss out of Brianna Ghey, just after the little girl was murdered - thinks Pride has 'suceeded'. Fascinating.

The reason we still need pride is to combat institutional homophobia and transphobia. Such as that exhibited by the author who was forced to resign for transphobia for misgendering a murdered school kid. ashleeee.substack.com/p/senior-mag...

Hey @northwestbylines.co.uk @bylinesnetwork.co.uk This is not good journalism. A transphobe writing about LGBTQ+ Pride is not appropriate. The community is being oppressed enough without this gaslighting adding to it. Do better. Fast.

African nations’ progress being blocked by European colonial countries twice in one day. 👀👀

Solutions to all the world's problems #cartoon

forgot about this old one, probably got loads more, if only I could remember things

It’s funny. Because it’s true.

Don’t look up, folks.

Gets a massive parliamentary majority. Does nothing to fix a problem he says he’s sad about, and actively makes it worse. Pointless man. Risible. Good riddance.

If Farage is not spending the £5m “gift”, how much interest is he earning on it, and is he paying tax on that? At a 5% interest rate he’d be ‘earning’ £250k a year. A gift that keeps giving.

That’s Pride Month done for another year. Wrath Month starts tomorrow.

Hey so there very much is a difference between a less clued up ally with a rainbow flag... versus a viciously anti-LGBTQ government (who very much know the difference) deliberately using the TERF version.

The minimum wage for 18-20 year olds is £22,568 for a 40 hour week. For a year of work. The 12 hours *maximum* of work that Nigel Farage has disclosed for promoting gold pays £22,500. Per hour.

One of the reasons the Greens should be taking a strong stance on this is that this political space is currently completely unoccupied by any major party. If the rights of migrants, trans people and disabled people are non-negotiable to you (and they still are to most people) you're an easy win.

A quarter of terror attacks in Britain over the past decade have targeted Muslims, but some have gone largely unnoticed because of delays formally declaring them terrorism Most jihadist attacks, by contrast, have been declared within hours of taking place inews.co.uk/news/uk-terr...

Burnham sounds more like Gary Barlow than ever. #C4News

We're raffling an Escort! We've chosen to support AKT this time, a charity offering assistance to LGBTQ+ young people who sadly often fall into homelessness. 10% will go to this charity. Buy tickets here: raffall.com/424625/enter...

At least I’ve not spent 5 hours of my day arguing about something everyone else says I’m wrong about, in response to the death of a national treasure. 🫤

Soup please, @chrishawkinsdj.bsky.social 😉

Just perfect

Odyssesus's dad wants to chat Routes (This one is a print and I have four copies left of in the edition before it's sold out, ie never to be printed again! Shop link in my bio 👆) #odyssey

TWO stories of “man arrested after body of women found in suitcase” on the same day. 😱 Men, what are you doing? 🤬🤬

Surely Waymo has enough points on its (software) licence to be banned from driving. 🤷‍♂️

This is how the media has functioned over the last 15 years. This deliberate exclusion of trans voices and wilful omission of anything other than the (transphobic) government’s perspective/propaganda is a conscious decision by editors. The media is complicit in harming trans children.

The amount of effort the press spends on telling us trans people and migrants are bad and this is one man using two blatantly corrupt politicians as his personal policy machine. The UKs Politics is absolutely batshit

NEW: Boris Johnson failed to declare to parliament a gift of private jet flights from the same cryptobillionaire, Christopher Harborne who gave £5m to Nigel Farage, leaked documents reveal. New #HarborneReceipts investigation from @thenerve.news. 🔗 below 1/

For the love of GOD can Burnham's people watch this man: his actions, his commitment to constituents, his decisiveness, his general bonhomie, his normality, no ego, no bullshit, no lies... It's not hard. And it wins. This really wins.* *happy to pivot to govt comms if anyone is listening

Sunshine on #Leith for all at home here. There is no place for racists in #Edinburgh and there never will be. A humbling moment: the silence at the spot of the attack. Everyone united in it for our communities, a little boy waving from a window above. We can make a difference. We have a duty to.

NHS England excluded 97% of studies on puberty blockers before concluding there was "insufficient evidence". What do we do when evidence about our lives is ignored?

This seems like a perfectly sensible proposal with several wins. So if course we're scrapping it.

That is just what I make what can i say

Wacom recently asked me to talk about why I make queer comics, and given there are multiple bills right now floating around in congress that are effectively "we will kill your livelihood if we get a sniff of queer" I had some pretty strong, simply feelings to relay.

Mopping the kitchen floor to the sound of Sylvester. Queer Chores.

My boundaries for acceptable political speech haven't changed. Ten years ago I thought naked racism, nazi rhetoric and white nationalism were things to be crushed and not debated, and I still do. Some of you in the papers used to agree, but now you don't.

The “good PR” of a bit of ‘tax transparency’ is actually a smokescreen for their greed. Are you expecting a 93% pay rise over 3 years..? I know I’m not. #Republic #AbolishMonarchy

If this is not an extremely important point: The draft bill would not ban the state-sanctioned abuse of Alan Turing.

Which will I have more of today, showers or Magnums?
