I obviously wouldn't say this but holy shit is it wrong to be arrested for this.

Clearly the solution to falling birth rates amid decades of right-wing governments is to get even more right-wing.

Bristol declared ‘city of harm reduction’ as Greens seek less punitive drug policy

Capitalism subsumes even critique of capitalism.

everyone seems to be responding positively to this and i hate to burst anyone's bubble, but i recently went to a Luddite festival in NYC and this is something organizers specifically warned about: don't let capitalists sell your hatred of capitalism back to you

PMQs is so weird. You'd think Starmer was going after a decade of amazing results, beloved by the country, rather than being the most loathed PM we've ever had, a man mired in genocides left and right, a man who made the most shockingly racist rhetoric normal, who ran a profoundly sexist operation.

my union negotiated an $8,000 lump sum to be put directly into my bank account last week. so far i’ve paid $923 in union dues since starting this job last year. pretty good return on investment.

i really can't wait to see the end of the labour party.

Make the person most despised by the voters you have lost the second most powerful person in the country, on the back of her leading a campaign of hatred and hostility against immigrants and refugees. The new Labour Government, everyone.

The Green Party will tax the super-rich. Not take orders from them.

we've got 3 years left of labour. they've already turned the uk in to a nightmare shithole. pls don't come in to my mentions and say voting for them to keep reform out is valid. it's not valid. if you think it is unfollow me and scroll on by.

When I criticize Dems in the United States who waffle on transgender issues, its because I don't want them turning into Labour UK, who pretty much has fully espoused transphobia and is enacting extreme harm on trans people in that country far worse than the conservatives had done.

It shouldn't make a profit at all, it should be nationalised. It's a natural monopoly, I can't choose my water provider so what's the point?

Meet the new boss, same as the old boss, because they've both been appointed by Mandelson and McSweeney.

we are now in a place where the Church is (correctly) calling the Labour Party out for being hostile to queer folk, so, that’s something else

When you spend on Harry Potter

The majority of Reform's donations are from one individual connected to crypto. If they get into government, they will remove regulation on crypto and turn the government into a way to funnel money to the very rich.

politicians want everyone to speak well of terrible people who died because many of them are terrible people who will die

The people behind Starmer would not have all gotten behind Burnham like they did if he was going to be substantively different.

Reported today that Labour plans to withhold benefits to people who have been granted Indefinite Leave to Remain. Performative cruelty and total cowardice. That’s why the Greens will replace Labour.

I’m saddened to announce the passing of my work colleague, The Zodiac Killer. While we were often on opposing sides of the business, I always enjoyed his silly little scavenger hunts.

Thing is daniel, none of the colleagues i dislike are responsible for people millions of people being dead or in poverty

A punitive view of education will never have the answer to what to do when students can use AI. A view of education that cares about motivating students will. In a world where student motivation needs to be earned not just enforced it's pretty clear that's the only way to elicit effort.

My mom just called to tell me that she went to a museum about the Underground Railroad, where one of the exhibits talked about the locals having horns that they would blow to warn people when the slave catchers were in town “It’s just like your whistles!”

People will inevitably blame the emergency services for this, but the reality is that they simply do not have the funding they need, and people will die as a result. This is a political decision, that the lives of people like Brian don't matter in comparison with the money being spend on tax breaks.

Be in no doubt that Labour, Conservative and Reform are beholden to funders that have an interest in maintaining the status quo. This report is a damning indictment of current housing policy. Make sure your MPs know how you feel and that you won’t lend them your vote unless change is implemented.

Fuck me, the gaming industry is so fucked. This is one of the biggest games of the year. It's never the fucking execs' heads that roll, it's always the workers. And for what? So they can tell shareholders the line goes up? Ugh.

me when my phone tries to get me to make an account and enable cloud backups of my phone: fuck off i don't believe in that made up nonsense me when steam cloud backs up all my games save files so i never have to worry about losing my progress: so true!!!!!!!!

not that there isn't some pleasure to take in farage falling out of favour and taking a kicking, but i always resent what a fix the whole mainstream UK news media is. when you're in they help you hide your scandals, when you're out they suddenly rediscover them. breaking news: some old news we hid

Until we realise that the American extremist online right is funding the far right in the UK, this will keep happening.

This is pretty bad. Social media is already a big problem, but this has the potential to do a lot of damage to individuals and society.

It is true that I don't worry about that.

DOGE officially ended over the weekend. One of its crowning achievements was cutting $15M from the federal government’s screwworm monitoring program. Now, the Trump administration is preparing to spend $1B to combat the screwworm outbreak. "Efficiency."

The new UK Health Secretary reassuring Telegraph journalists that he's transphobic enough for them. Why did he change his mind? Because throwing trans people under the bus is cheap politics for the Labour Party.

It's kind of surprising to me that there's no rule that if an MP resigns they're not allowed to stand in the by-election they just caused. It seems pretty common-sense and a good way to stop someone from doing this sort of thing in future.

The left have not become radicalised. Left-wing violence is not any more prevalent than before, but right-wing violence certainly is, especially if you take into account the states governed by the right wing who use violence against resistance.

As the UK enters its third heatwave of the year it couldn't be clearer: we need to end our reliance on fossil fuels. We'd like to remind Andy Burnham that approving new oil and gas licences is a climate crime. It won't deliver energy security and it won't take a penny off our bills.

It is inevitable that many women like the second example will conform in order to avoid this. It has the practical effect of enforcing gender norms.

On my way, Clacton.

IMAGINE IF THIS IS HOW WE GET MP BINFACE FARAGE WOULD BE FOREVER HUMILIATED

God he's such a whining crybaby

"The establishment has decided they can't beat us fairly, so they have to use foul means," says Nigel Farage, on reporting that he's accepted gifts of £5 million+, which he hasn't denied.

Nigel Farage is a grifter. He always has been and he's continuing to grift. He knew he was heading towards a byelection anyway so has pulled the trigger early. The people Vs the establishment?! Reform are literally part of the establishment.

Billionaires are buying influence in British politics. It's time to cap political donations and make every vote count equally.
