£20.26 seems pricey for a calendar

“I’m old enough to remember when mainstream British politicians, who should know better, stirred up racial hatred as a path to power. You’re old enough to remember too because it was last Tuesday. And it was Robert Jenrick” Cathartic anger at flag-flying racism. www.thenerve.news/p/stewart-le...

The challenge not to reply to anyone you hear say "I'm confused" with "So's the TARDIS, ha ha", is very real and criminally underappreciated.

No, it's not. It's all a lie. The blunt truth is across the 1991, 2001, 2011 and 2021 Census *every* ethnic group in the UK has become *less* geographically segregated and *all* groups, majority and minorities, are more likely to interact with people not like them.

"It's beyond you to comprehend that God is infinitely in love with you in the frailties of your ways." —James Finley, "Turning to the Mystics" buff.ly/mjJDHCu Even when we feel weak, God’s love meets us in our frailty. How does this truth resonate for you?

The people running Reform and the pure essence of entitlement that's been mildly inconvienced by a welfare state and not enough forelock tugging.

All these people really want is to pay no taxes and be treated with floor scraping deference. Everything else is just bullshit in pursuit of that goal.

This is a lie. There are many criticisms you might sensibly and truthfully make of the Sentencing Council and the Sentencing Guidelines. I’ve been making them for years. But this is an outright lie. Pure fabrication. A fraud on the public.

Tories caught lying? Who’dathunkit

Between them Tice, Farage, Jenrick and Badenoch really are competing for some kind of trophy, huh.

By integrating sharia law into our legal system? Not bothering with democracy?

It’s still wild to me I was raised singing “Jesus loves the little children / all the children in the world / red yellow black and white / they are precious in His sight” and my right wing family wonder how I became a social justice Christian against the empire. Because I actually believed it?

This is hilarious

Small state Tories, back again

Otherwise the plan would be this. All UK citizens, all legal permanent residents, all legal visa holders & all tourists would need to provide facial ID to the government. And the facial recognition system would need a zero % false positive rate. And then you simply flag anyone not in the system 3/n

The next general election is going to be unbearably awful isn’t it Just parties lining up to outdo each other in awfulness

“Terrible things are happening outside. Poor helpless people are being dragged out of their homes. Families are torn apart. Men, women, and children are separated. Children come home from school to find that their parents have disappeared.” Diary of Anne Frank January 13, 1943

In sheer desperation to outFarage Farage, the Tories continue their lurch towards fascism by embracing fascism wholeheartedly

Another important thread

This thread is incredibly important

It’s easy to say that this is the last desperate hurrah of a dying party, but can we be clear: Trump’s ICE agents are literally kidnapping people, detaining them without due process in concentration camps (yes, this is the right term) and 1000s have disappeared. These are fascist practices.

We flounced out of the EU on the say-so of politicians who lied to us. And what a total shitshow that’s turned out to be. The polar opposite of what they promised. Now the call to flounce out of the ECHR. By the same people. Telling the same lies. Has the country been kicked in the head by a horse?

So my current fixation is Richard Rohr. My question now is, how far does he reflect the Franciscan consensus?

May the Lord bless Dame Sarah Mullally, the Archbishop of Canterbury designate, as she leads the people of God. God bless the Church, God bless all people, and may God's love and mercy continue to sustain creation.

Please join me in congratulating Woman on her appointment

This article manages to name her husband before it names… her.

Matthew 15:29-31: And great crowds came to him, bringing with them the lame, the blind, the crippled, the mute, and many others, and they put them at his feet, and he healed them after verifying their citizenship status.

This

Gosh. Liz Kershaw. Remember her?

In the late 1980s Radio 1 was massively over-represented by Kershaws despite Kershaws making up just 0.05% of the broadcasting industry. 100% of them turned out to be very problematic indeed.

Sublime

Oh this is an excellent point. I hadn’t considered this.

Exactly this

Doing Putin’s bidding? That is Trump’s America, don’t let it become Farage’s Britain. We need a new inquiry by the Intelligence and Security Committee into Reform and Farage's links to Russia.

Have very belatedly left twitter for good. Naively thought I was still fighting the occasional worthwhile fight but nope. It's a cesspit and nobody should be on it. People saying that months ago were absolutely right. Last "quote tweet" from Harry says it all

A phenomenal record

No neurodivergent person is remembering every single hurtful thing that happened. We were busy ignoring it so we could learn about dinosaurs or Jeffries Tubes or lichen, which is much more useful.

So, Sunday Times runs with latest poll showing Farage winning if there was an election now. But makes NO mention of Reform’s collusion with Russia. And this is how democracy gets beaten to death in the dark. Voters are not being told the truth. Reform is given the stage but is NEVER held to account.

"We have a debt crisis so I've joined the party that was in power for 14 years and under whom debt massively grew." "Commentator of the Year"

I don’t think this is helpful. Saying stuff like “Trump is insane” or that he’s stupid etc. downplays the possibility that all this is all quite deliberate. Perhaps it’s a kind of defence mechanism; a denial that they have elected a fascist.

You could write endless essays on what "adapt to the customs of this country" means.

This only happens to you once

RIP Sir Menzies

Nathan Gill is no fringe politician. He was the leader of the Reform Party and before that UKIP in Wales. A Brexit Party MEP. A friend and ally of Nigel Farage, who in 2016 called him: "terrific," and "as honest as the day is long." This is a MASSIVE story www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

my mom took tylenol when she was pregnant, which made me super focused on menswear and now i have a million followers on twitter

Hold on it's fucking PARACETAMOL

Well, I’ve swapped the Birkenstocks for slippers now.

Exactly this

What came first? The favourable opinion polls or the intensive platforming? Given that the BBC has given Farage a free pass for DECADES leans hard into the latter, imho.
