Awkward… 11 Feb 2026: “No 10 did not know before they made the decision to give him the peerage,” the schools minister, Georgia Gould, told Sky News when questioned about the Doyle peerage. Which directly contradicts Downing Street’s statement in December 2025.

We joined 140 feminist and LGBTQ+ organisations together to call on the United Kingdom to scrap ‘bathroom ban’ policies and ensure trans inclusion 🏳️‍⚧️🇬🇧 transsolidarityalliance.com @transsolidarity.bsky.social

Yet back in December, Downing Street confirmed that Mr Doyle’s links with Sean Morton were “thoroughly investigated” before he was nominated for a peerage, with several interviews taking place with Mr Doyle himself.

‘Streeting saying he feared being “toast at the next election” in his Ilford North seat, adding: “There isn’t a clear answer to the question: why Labour?”

a reminder that Tim Allan, who quit Starmer's Downing St today, previously spun for....not only Kazakhstan and Qatar but also Vladimir Putin’s government www.ft.com/content/a0a8...

Starmer's director of communications, Tim Allan, has resigned. Allan was on the board of Sex Maters.

Tim Allen was on the Board of the Sex Matters hate group before becoming Number 10 Comms Director. Hopefully Labour is realizing that it has no future in pitch-rolling for Reform. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

Erm…

Blue Labour needs to go down with him.

After operating since 2009, Sheffield’s main WI is set to close because all the volunteers running it are leaving. Trans exclusion means spaces for all women are being lost. www.shwi.co.uk/post/2026-me...

Wes Streeting and Louis Appleby should go to prison over this. It's a massive scandal and they covered it up. They knew what they were doing restricting access to care and they did it anyways because of politics.

In these dark days of February, a little something to look forward to.

Taking Maurice Glasman's advice to embrace Trump - scrap equality & diversity; net zero - could be a deal-breaker for about 4 million of Labour's 10 million voters from 2024 Not introducing safe routes for refugees would be unpopular & lead 4/10 Labour voters to consider ditching the party too

Profoundly dishonest for Starmer to claim he believes in a tolerant Britain. He needs to go.

crazy that basically every person complaining about "woke overreach" over the last 12 years is also in the epstein emails being like "thanks for the pussy, jeff ;)"

Please CHRIST look at the UK; Starmer’s Labour didn’t win the last election; the Conservatives lost it. The thing to do is to *BURN AWAY* Schumer, Jeffries et al through direct action, protests, primaries. You and I are in charge (sorry! but also: congrats!) Catch up with us, Dems, or be retired.

Oh.

BREAKING: Keir Starmer has urged House of Lords to urgently modernise disciplinary procedures so that Peter Mandelson can be stripped of his peerage and removed from upper chamber.

Peter Mandelson leaked a sensitive UK government document to Jeffrey Epstein while he was business secretary that proposed £20bn of asset sales and revealed Labour’s tax policy plans. ft.trib.al/dT7pS1s

Apparently if you leave your Christmas decorations up after tomorrow you attract goblins…

Meanwhile at the Council of Europe, the Parliamentary Assembly rejected a proposal to ban puberty blockers - 28 in favour, 67 against.

Here's CE Lord OBE's take on this morning's High Court's Hampstead Ponds decision.

Corporation of London: “The Supreme Court did not decide that all trans-inclusive services must now be strictly segregated according to biological sex.”

One of the stories of British politics over last 15 years has been Conservatives and Labour valuing narrower and narrower ideological coherence over their historic, broad coalitions and then being astonished that their vote shares keep falling. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

Not sure about this: while I’d welcome an approach that limits the impact on trans people, the draft guidance was fundamentally broken. Concerned that this is a stitch up between the EHRC and government to duck the need to tear things up and start again.

you will be *shocked* to learn that the author of the piece is a raving transphobe herself. www.transgendermap.com/issues/topic....

this is a very weak piece, for multiple reasons. its claim about Gen Z is based on a couple of comments, not actual sales. it is also extremely normal for kids not to be *that* into a series from two decades ago. And there's minimum mention of Rowling turning into a fervent bigot.

Treat the US government and ICE claims like you'd treat a Russian government claim after they've shot down an airliner or bombed a hospital. America 2026.

Glad Labour has fixed all the problems facing the country so they can get on with navel-gazing wank instead…

“According to a new large sample YouGov poll of UK voters, a grand total of 0% of voters who backed Reform at the last general election now plan to vote for Labour.” @adambienkov.bsky.social

A policy that has attracted zero voters from Reform but has alienated those who thought we might see change under Labour. Time for McSweeney to bow out now.

Ah, I see the grown ups are being incredibly Grown Up again…

“The Trust confirms that it has not received any complaints which have been persued by law firm Pogust Goodhead.”

Yeah for people not up to date on the back story, the conservative war on "Gender Ideology" actually started as a response to Gender Theory, and specifically the impact of Judith Butler's "Gender Trouble" at the United Nations summit for women in 1995.

the result of the last year or so of begging by starmer to trump appear to have resulted in a speech where trump mocks the UK for its high energy costs and describes it as a loser nation

Britain is Europe’s weakest link

We stand firmly against any policies that target transgender and gender nonconforming people. NYCCHR & @nychealthy.bsky.social opposed a proposed rule that would erode civil rights and restrict access to basic health care. Full statement from Commissioner Annabel Palma: www.nyc.gov/site/cchr/me...

I can't trust politicians who are anti-trans. Not because I'm "only searching for perfection" which is what centrists will be accusing me of for the rest of my life, it's because if you're not pro-trans you'll be garbage on lots of other issues too. Being anti-trans NEVER exists in a vacuum.

There's something extremely galling about being told that a minority group you belong to is "enabling fascism" for not voting for a candidate which hates that group, particularly when the lecturing is coming from someone who won't be affected by said fascism

1. "These women are insufficiently worried that federal agents may hurt them," is a revealing complaint. 2. Every woman I know is like a fucking deep space probe with senses ceaselessly attuned to detecting potential male violence. 3. Your lads stormed Congress confident no one would hurt them.

Let’s ban kids from social media and encourage them to use Sensible Platforms. Like 4chan…

News that Labour is abandoning mandatory digital IDs is Classic Starmer. He could have sold the plans as administrative convenience but no, he went straight for the authoritarian dopamine hit of “At last! Papers please!!!” and has had to water it down.

Badenoch seriously contending that the main problem with the non-consensual adult content infesting Grok is that children might see it?

Is there actually an evidence base for banning social media for under 16s, or is this a case of “something must be done, this is something”?

If the answer to Starmer is Streeting you’re asking a pretty stupid question.
