Just imagine reading Starmer's speech and being any of the minorities Labour has disowned and oppressed, any of the people locked up for peaceful protest, disabled or elderly? Everyone who sees greedy, evil, wrecker corporations suckled on public funds? The scale of this lie is vast.

If you're having a bad Monday, just remember you're not Kier Starmer

It is currently 2c in May and yet I am somehow supposed to get out of bed and adult

Fighting antisemitism is a worthy goal. But it you do it with flaming racists while ignoring every other bigotry that's flourishing in this country, I do not take you seriously.

If you're worried about whether your NHS Trust is already using Palantir, and would like to ask them not to, you can use this tool that we developed. goodlawproject.org/campaign/sto...

Wes Streeting wants new laws to force your GP to share your medical records. The bill was not in Labour's Manifesto and Palantir has explicitly said, under a new Government, it would be happy to use medical data for other purposes. Be afraid.

Pollsters: Starmer is the most hated PM in history Wes Streeting: Starmer is the most hated prime minister in history *yet*

lmao a political journalist should have a better recollection of the Brexit Wars than this

The Onion ass headline

Why does the PM need an advisor on women and girls when he has a Minister and Minister of State for Women and Equalities and a Women and Equalities Unit?

The people to blame for reform are: 1. People who chose to vote for the far right (Reform voters). 2. People who aped the far right political positions and amplified their hateful rhetoric (the Labour party, media etc.) That’s it. Not the Greens, not the Lib Dems, not the people told to fuck off:

It will never not be funny when the straights use raw dogging

🧵My response: “This statement is utterly enraging. The government is doing the exact opposite of what it claims. Taking away gender affirming healthcare for trans youth is taking away their dignity and is completely disrespectful of their autonomy.

My uninformed observation is that the Blue Labour project was entirely oppositional in nature. They have no idea how to turn that off. A party in power cannot rely on negative attacks to win anyone over. FWIW I'm certain Reform will crash and burn in government for the exact same reason.

This is exactly what the BMA analysis of Cass criticized. The puberty-blocker ban is not supported by any evidence or research, even the biased pseudoscience of Cass. The transphobes promoted into powerful positions in the DHSC are getting more extreme and their fanatical hatred is showing through.

“What's appalling is a government department actively ignoring science and medical ethics in their political assault on trans healthcare. They view puberty blockers as safe enough for cis children…” We must challenge politicians who dictate healthcare based on their anxieties about trans existence.

Interesting result in my new West Surrey authority. Pleased to see Lib Dems take over from Tories and not a single red seat on the council. Disappointed not to see any Greens.

It's always a comms problem. I like Khan but you cannot represent London and defend this government at the same time.

Centrists are so focused on the threat of Reform they can't see the damage Labour is doing right now. If only Labour can stop Reform, tell me what they are doing to stop them.

Every analysis of the local election is going to make this basic category error: Labour and Greens are not a progressive 'bloc'. Labour, Tories and Reform are all fighting for the same voters because they are right wing parties appealing to right wing voters. Labour voters are just catching up.

Shabana, sweetie, they're never going to respect you

@zackpolanski.bsky.social is spot on here, the Greens aren't splitting the left vote because this Labour party isn't left wing.

More on Palantir's two-faced fascism. "Two weeks ago, we wrote about Palantir going mask-off for fascism, specifically about Karp’s company posting a 22-pt manifesto that included some ugly stuff about how “certain cultures” are “regressive and harmful” and how pluralism is a “shallow temptation.”'

Saying this partly as I'm seeing lots of Labour mentions of deliverism and fixing state capacity pop up this morning, but another idea would be for ministers to stop pushing so many silly tech policies and also assuming AI will magically fix everything without anyone attending to the basics

I really want the libs to stop saying there is no strategy. What they mean is there is no strategy for the things they care about. Wes Streeting has a strategy. Shabana Mahmood has a fucking strategy.

Now watch the BBC forget the Greens exist for the next 2 years.

I'm honoured to get the Amnesty Award, but honestly this was a group effort. Thanks to the crew, fact-checkers, lawyers, journalists, and the team at Nebula who helped bring this scandal to light. And thanks to @jessothomson.co.uk for collecting the award on my behalf! Here’s my acceptance speech:

Any Labour supporters in my feed, please feel free to cry

I imagine this went something like "here is your no 1 pick plus 2 batshit options to replace the eminently qualified ambassador you just sacked." But do we think Starmer looks better if he just went along with the shortlist presented?

That "vote for us or else" schtick is looking really tired

lmao

Trans people have a right to the same healthcare we all need goodlawproject.org/s/ec0359

This is insane. This is the government’s “independent” advisor on antisemitism. He sees four antisemitic cartoons targeting Zack Polanski. His response? To demand an end to the antisemitic targeting of Polanski? No. It’s to attack the Green Party.

Starmer has written to the civil service (presumably all of it) with a long and waffly non-apology for "recent scrutiny". Could have been a Whatsapp message. The day before an election.

Has anybody asked for this?

I have a dozen reasons for liking something. Liking is not a nuanced thing. But you'll notice the people who are outraged by Polanski's likes are the same ones who thought Glinner's abusive SM activity was fine and should be protected.

The government can't stop posting on Twitter, the LOTO doesn't think Tommy Robinson intimidates Jews, the leading party is campaigning for where they'll put detention camps, and it's likely the only response to the attempted murder of two Jews will be restrictions on pro-palestinian protests.

The Telegraph defend Palantir. Of course they do. Boycott them both, get them both OUT of the UK.

It'd save our blood pressure if we recognised that most of the media are not neutral reporters but anti-leftist partisans: they are a player, not the referee. Expecting them to do honest reporting is like expecting an opposing football team to score own goals.

It helps if you stop thinking of this as a free speech debate. Britain has never had "free" speech. It has speech that is tolerated by the establishment and speech that is not. It's not hard to tell the difference.

graham linehan: if you see a tranny punch it in the dick! wes streeting: we should be policing streets, not tweets! 😏 some rando: cops shouldn't kick a downed man in the head repeatedly *polanski retweets* labour: did you see this outrageous thing that polanski tweeted on x the everything app?!!

I don't like handing it to professional racist Fraser Nelson, who did so much at The Spectator to usher in our coming dystopia, but does anyone think this sounds good? Is Labour doing anything to protect us from it? (rhetorical)

Terrible, yes. But new or notable?

I’d suggest that a Sky News presenter roaring at Polanski, who he quite obviously despises, and then nodding and smiling his way through wacko comments from brazen fascist crank Melanie Phillips, is helpfully illustrative of How It Came To This.

Reform goon: does nazi salute Starmer: is this left wing antisemitism?

They could just stop stealing land and murdering people and that shit would be free

You can be sure Wes Streeting is a bigoted transphobe because he frames trans women as predatory men. It's just breathtaking that this stain of a human weilds so much power over trans people.

If we really are to root out the evil of anti-semitism in British politics then one of our first steps must be to condemn the systematic use of anti-semitic tropes by Nigel Farage and his fellow travellers on the right www.adambienkov.co.uk/p/nigel-fara...
