Please do not threaten me with such a good time.

Wes Streeting here saying he thinks potholes are more important than a genocide. He is indeed complete and utter SCUM

This is utter nonsense. I work for a UK charity, and since the SC ruling, we have changed exactly nothing regarding how our trans colleagues are treated, what bathrooms they can use when at work, etc. They absolutely have been threatened with being taken to court. This has been common /1

"In other words, it appears to be LaBeouf’s position that he — as a sexual abuser — may discuss Ms. Barnett’s trauma and suffering whenever he wants without restriction but that Ms. Barnett — as the survivor — is prohibited from discussing LaBeouf or her story."

Nothing convinces me more that there was some kind of shenanigan here than Starmer denying it.

Man who believes everything he's told finds something he can't believe

instead of watching the new harry potter trailer, why not pick up some horror books by trans and nb writers for the trans rights readathon?? there are so many good options. For example, check out some of these writers:

History nerds: is it a good idea to only feed the mad emperor good news he wants to hear about the war he started on a whim after hoofing 17 quarterpounders? Answers on the side of a Patriot.

I urge you, if you’re thinking about watching the new Harry Potter series, please don’t. Because JK Rowling is taking the money you give her to do terrible things to people.

The spycops inquiry has heard about how one officer was so misogynist that he was described as 'genuinely evil'

Someone suggested to me recently that the reason I hate AI so much must be because I don't understand it. I said it was precisely because I understood it so well that I came to the incredibly informed decision to hate it.

This is bullshit. Self-serving, grifting bullshit. Does she think we've forgotten this: www.thenational.scot/news/2407611...

So the Stan girlies have shown that a lot of the accounts that are posting this weird Chappell Roan made an 11 year old girl cry were also used in the Blake Lively/ Amber Heard smear campaigns and considering she just ditched an agent for being in the Epstein files- I’m with them

America could probably gather every possible suspect, throw them in a hole without a trial or trying to work out who is guilty, and lose no one of value.

Regarding the other article, they have no problem with cis men running women's charities (just like they've no problem with cis men managing women's football teams). Make no mistake - if a cis man had been given this role, there would be no complaints.

NEW EPISODE: Exploring the "unbelievable" 40% cuts in UK overseas aid - more money for arms, less for some of the poorest people in the world. @goldbergradio.bsky.social @bylinetimes.bsky.social hears from @elliechowns.bsky.social @grabinowitz.bsky.social open.spotify.com/episode/4Klq...

There is no more blindingly obvious example of willing, demonstrably unnecessary, state failure than not nationalising private water; they're all hugely in debt, they don't build the infrastructure, their corp structures are byzantine and exist to pay dividends, and they pollute like crazy

UK version of ICE is already targeting black workers, acting not on evidence, but on anonymous tip offs from racist business rivals. We are seeing the early practice runs for when Führer Farage hires gangs of racist thugs to round up people for his policy off mass deportations.

The spycops inquiry may not bring justice, but is an admission of the British state's long history of repressing the left.

🔴MattGPT: The Sorry Tale of Matt Goodwin’s AI-Assisted, Fake-Quote-Filled New Book It turns out that even ChatGPT has a more stringent approach to accuracy than the former professor, Matt Goodwin, reports @brokenbottleboy.bsky.social bylinetimes.com/2026/03/23/m...

Zack Polanski, like anyone with a conscience, sees the rise of antisemitism, and denounces the violent anti-Semites that did this. Nigel Farage doesn't give a shit about Jewish people, but he'll absolutely use their pain and fear to spread hatred, lies, and Islamophobia. It's his stock and trade.

#OtD 23 Mar 1944 the biggest attack on Nazi occupation forces by the Italian resistance took place on Via Rasella in Rome. About 12 partisans attacked an SS company, killing 30 and wounding 100. More about the attack in our podcast on the resistance: workingclasshistory.com/podcast/e77-...

This horrible story points up a difference between alleged and actual political extremists. Zack Polanski correctly says antisemitism is vile, and has no place here. Nigel Farage, with no evidence yet, whines about migrants, suggesting the attackers came from Iran... www.bbc.co.uk/news/live/cz...

also, not taking sides is taking a side

Great timing

How Britain's increasingly authoritarian culture is leading to harassment Emily Apple was stopped by the Met in Whitehall last week, then arrested for breaching conditions on a protest under S14 of the Public Order Act and detained for ten hours She wasn’t part of any protest is.gd/zP869X 1/2

"The Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) has refused to release all but a few words from scores of emails discussing its role in the deaths of hundreds, and probably thousands, of disabled benefit claimants"

Amnesty International say what is happening in Palestine is a genocide. The UN Special Rapporteur say it's a genocide. Countless genocide scholars say it's a genocide. How are we still doing this? And why is the BBC doing this? youtu.be/Es_wxH04bgs?...

What the US is purposefully doing to Cuba should be considered genocide.

Holy shit we might have a cure for sickle cell anemia

How the fuck do you have a reporter free news room?

It occurs to me: what if the epidemic of phone theft in London - a thing that I never hear about, in Scotland - is just minor political figures getting an alibi in, after they’ve their phones into the Thames once a year

No donations for 6 days except my own. Please help Mohammed's son Jamal survive Israel's genocide, which has left him starving & in critical condition. Jamal has diabetes, asthma, and burn injuries from an IDF attack. He is suffering seizures & urgently needs insulin & treatment:

Lucy White is a maximalist racist, She calls ethnic minorities like Kemi Badenoch, Suella Braverman, Rishi Sunak + Priti Patel "foreigners" who should not be MPs She was happy to be acknowledged in the Restore Britain report + to attend the launch + to declare her membership of the party.

Genuinely, I was a little worried Labour would make some gains in the polls in time for the local elections because Starmer appeared to keep us out of this stupid act of American terrorism.

Climbing the escalation ladder one rung at a time.

It’s not more insulting than the pretence that we weren’t facilitating the destruction of the Gaza Strip, so 🤷🏼‍♂️

White moderates need to make a much bigger effort to rein in their respective nations nazis and white nationalists.

I'm pretty sure the UK government is making policy about trans people at least partially based on research that Epstein literally funded

based on how much our societal standards have collapsed since the last time we were all asked to ignore the individualism this system bred into us and each make some sacrifices for the greater good, I fully expect to see people openly burning barrels of gasoline on their lawns.

she's right and she should say it

my kingdom for a single journalist at the BBC, or any other major news org, to push back and point out that 1) settlement is not automatic, and then 2) ask the home office why they have been repeatedly lying about this for months

Richard Littlejohn still works at The Daily Mail.

And what did we give them for their dedication and sacrifices? We banged on pots and pans!

Let me translate: everyone can see they’ve utterly fucked it, that Sir Keir is m toast and whoever takes charge now, it won’t be another rail-snorting right wing wonker like Wes Streeting. Everyone is now jockeying for the best place to stand, whenever the next tennis ball gets chucked.

Palantir is a priority BDS target. The Palestinian-led BDS movement calls for forming broad intersectional coalitions to lead contract exclusion campaigns, peaceful disruptions, and other creative forms of pressure on institutions contracting Palantir.

"Labour red wall MPs" is just Akehurst
