Does being anti-schools count as part of the anti-bedtime left? Why are journalists asking Zack Polanski stupid questions and not about how he keeps talking about getting rid of schools?

Really good thread here, reminding us just how dishonest this group of gender critical journalists operating within the BBC and BMJ were, and the horrific damage they did.

So bizarre, Shona Robinson appears to be happy with taxes lower than England but doesn’t want to pay for lower taxes

It is bad that the director of the BBC has resigned over a scandal people only cared about because the mentally unwell President of the United States became fixated with it, and it then went viral on the website controlled by the world's richest man.

lol she got his ass and he knows it

oh so these people do pay attention to who politicians follow on social media, they just don’t care that the vice president follows a bunch of actual neo-nazis

Growing out my hair (mainly out of laziness) and trying to ignore the eczema (mainly out of laziness)

Why did no one tell me wax melts don’t evaporate, how do they not evaporate, the physics is confusing me

“Immigrants can’t be trusted in government” but left wing is INSANE

🏊‍♀️The women who swim at Kenwood Ladies Pond have already made their decision. In 2024, almost 900 members voted to keep their trans-inclusive policy - a policy that has worked peacefully since 2019. Now, a small campaign group is seeking to overturn that democratic decision through the courts. 1/5

Fun fact: The ECU actually used the phrase “trans identity”, not “trans ideology”, and, in editing that quote, this BBC article about a presenter expressing anti-trans views breaching editorial guidelines has itself breached editorial guidelines. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Humza Yousaf also belongs in this category, despite attempts by (hetero) Labour members to paint him as homophobic

If you asked me to come up with the names of politicians who are publicly and unapologetically pro-LGBT and pro-trans rights in particular, two of the most obvious would now both be Muslim mayors of major cities. And both are routinely smeared as regards to 'Sharia Law'.

If I didn’t have morals, I’d work for FIFA and get so rich off of bribes, those guys will do ANYTHING for a bit of cash in an envelope

A colleague and I bought houses for roughly the same value at the same time, she has a garden and an extra bedroom but I can walk five minutes to get a matcha latte at lunch so who’s winning really

"I wish Andrew Cuomo only the best in private life, but let tonight be the last time I utter his name" is a biblical-ass curse. that is CONTEMPT

Mamdani: "We can respond to oligarchy and authoritarianism with the strength it fears, not the appeasement it craves. After all, if anyone can show a nation betrayed by Donald Trump how to defeat him, it is the city that gave rise to him."

New awareness campaign

Blaming the early finish on the lack of street lights, but it does make me look less red so swings and roundabouts

I think its now got to be the case that respectable people should just refuse to appear on panels with Goodwin, even if that means cancelling on the BBC at short notice.

Very unfortunate that Instagram reels have tricked me into liking Fate of Ophelia

Gay men dressing as spiderman is an epidemic, I’m calling for a complete and total shutdown until we can figure out what is going on

Opposition to this is so funny, it’s all “tax the rich” until an actual tax on the rich is proposed

“Privately funded by the king” is a fascinating sentence cause… that’s our money

oh looks like someone's mental health has picked right back up now he's got a chance to degrade people's human dignity

Leftwingers who do not accept that you have to pay for socialist policies in some way are fundamentally unserious people

They can’t explain any real issues mandatory ID cards will fix

Why does Siri think I want to add my train tickets to my calendar? Between this and the broken autocorrect I’m not convinced iOS26 is there best update

Is "it drives me mad seeing adverts full of black people, full of Asian people" "racist or realist" asks Robert Peston?

Glad to hear Luke Akehurst is having a terrible morning

The line should be “Brianna was murdered for being trans” but instead she’s on a crusade against digital content and not even transphobic content at that

Calling Plaid and the SNP “regionalist” is such a London brained moment, no wonder independence constantly polls ~50%

Can someone remind me, is it good or bad when you lose a seat you’ve held for over a hundred years?

This was a very good book, the title just about sums it up

Romance languages are so funny, this could easily be read in at least three languages without issue but I don’t think there’s a single sentence in German an English speaker could read that easily

Katie Lam’s comments stink of desperation. This crass racism used to mean she’d be kicked out of the Tories but not now. The Conservative Party seem to be falling all over themselves to chase the tail of Tommy - two names - Robinson. It’s becoming like the BNP in a twin set & pearls.

You may have heard about UK ministers' plan to double to 10 years the time needed to reached settled status in the UK. But did you realise that it threatened access to pensions for the 180,000 people who came from Hong Kong on the UK government's visa scheme? My dispatch: www.ft.com/content/8b91...

The relevant exchange in this video is shocking. Phillipson just refuses to clarify which bathroom her interviewer should use. This is not an abstract question! It’s relevant whenever this journalist is out in public! She needs to know!

Aside: why is it a random trans woman on YouTube (no disrespect intended!) who has got Phillipson’s (non-)response to this question on the record, and not any of our broadcast or print media’s leading interviewers?

This is horrendous. Zero empathy. Clear as mud.

Access to sites the government is trying to ban helped Brianna come out and express her gender. Closing that off only makes life more difficult for LGBT+ kids

The Conservative Party cannot be considered a responsible party of government again until and unless Ms Lam is forced to drop her Idi Amin migration proposal and apologise to those it threatens, or has the whip removed. It is as simple as that.

Good thread on how a big part of the problem of British politics is big media figures with no real interest in being across the details.

I am old enough to remember people arguing that Starmer‘s speech at conference was the big turning point and that Labour would now stand up against far-right rhetoric. But spineless politicians rarely grow a spine over night…

Well

I don’t believe Joani Reid believes this, when she moved to Scotland, she rented her old house to the government to be used by refugees. Then using harmful rhetoric like this is even worse

Meanwhile the Scottish Labour Party is opposing congestion charges for drivers from wealthy suburbs polluting Glasgow’s air

Cardiff will be the first UK city to introduce a surcharge for oversized SUVs and trucks, "while very large vehicles – those over 3,500kg – will be excluded from residential permits entirely."

How responsible is the sports centre for me slipping and injury myself? They cleaned the floors and made them super dusty so now shoes don’t have enough grip
