Nigel Farage says the £5m gift he got from a crypto billionaire was a ‘reward for campaigning for Brexit for 27 years’ On May 5, Mr Farage told the BBC the money was ‘the only way I can protect myself for the rest of my life’ as he was the ‘most attacked, physically, politician of modern times’

the UK now has the least transphobic Health Secretary in years (nobody)

Spotted on Tumblr…

Streeting's allies are saying he has the numbers but hasn't opted to trigger a challenge because something something. Sounds like something someone who didn't have the numbers would say.

STREETING HAS RESIGNED

"These are all good reasons for me to remain in post, but as you know from our conversation earlier this week, having lost confidence in your leadership, I have concluded that it would be dishonourable and unprincipled to do so." "Luckily, because I am dishonourable and unprincipled...."

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaand another one. www.plymouthplus.co.uk/plymouth-ref...

Considering seeking medical advice for Female Reproductive Health Issues for the first time in 16 years because why am I still having to suffer this much pain every month and rely solely on what is basically glorified ibuprofen.

🌙I love that he sounds like he's nervous Legolas is gonna read this interview and ask him about it later

A politics post: fuck me. Imagine what could have been done in two years by people who wanted to do good. Yes, the renting stuff is good, but that could have been done without wild transphobia! Two years of people in politics who were determined to make good and lasting changes. I could cry.

The primary benefit of getting rid of Starmer should be the opportunity to get rid of Streeting.

Wes Streeting’s opinion of himself colliding with the public’s opinion of Wes Streeting is going to cause some cognitive dissonance

Marley’s skin is back to normal again which means she’s back to her usual alert self, interested in food and watching my every move in the evenings. It also means that my most repeated evening phrase is once again “you’ve been fed, my love”

And I’m ready for him to fuck off into the sea, but we don’t always get what we want, do we, Wes?

"According to the survey, 99% of artists “disliked” AI; for 92%, the dislike was “strong.” And that distaste translates into action, too. Per the survey, 85% of artists completely abstain from using AI at all. And 88% percent refusal use AI to generate images." Empowering

Hang it in the Tate

Oh wow, this is actually really uplifting. After hearing so much about how universities are just places you go to use GenAI and worry about how this generation of students is going to turn out because of it, then we get this, which almost proves the kids are actually all right...

My ancient suitcase record player is playing just slightly too fast now to the point where it irritates me. I think it’s finally time to upgrade. My teaching earnings can afford my dream turntable (so I don’t need recommendations) BUT she’s currently out of stock 😭😂 no records for a while I guess

*attenborough voice* "first signs of self-awareness displayed as a bright plumage to impress the herd--"

Frustrated with the state of the world again you know what that means

Yeah people mad wonder why

Starmer gave 'winning the election' as proof people were wrong about him twice in a row. Along the lines of 'people said I couldn't win an election and they were wrong and then they said we couldn't get elected and they were wrong.' I wouldn't accept that repetition in a meaningless football report

Now for the morbid part: fash mobilisation. Turnout was up by 46% and only 7% of the increase can be accounted for by growth of the electorate. Green and Lib Dem gains matched Labour and Tory losses *to the vote* (I double checked). The vote for Reform is 102% of the increase in turnout 💀3/3

Frustrated with the election pundits talking as if votes only 'swing' from one party to another. I did some analysis of the results, and my modelling (based on votes only, not polls) suggests that the largest movement since 2024 local elections (by a long way) is from 'Did Not Vote' -> Reform

Fucking hilarious. There's so little dirt on him they're reduced to playing an incredibly poor game of semantics.

now he's talking about how OtHeR pArTiEs would have had us take part in the war in Iran ...didn't we get involved in the war with Iran by allowing the US to use our airbases tho, keir

Starmer re reform and green party: "the despair on which they pray" idk about you but the Greens have provided me personally more hope than i've ever felt from Labour

Been meaning to post some tortoise videos here. This is Matilda, who I always say loves DIY and will follow us around the tortoise run and gets underfoot all the time. Here is proof. Note: there are 16 other tortoises in this enclosure and none of them give a fuck about what Dad’s doing

How is this not The Onion

Also just how fucked up is it that she suggests trans people should Want and take to court venues to have segregated third spaces. Think the likes of Falkner see trans people’s status as second class so ingrained she thinks we will all understand and be glad rather than fkin outraged

minorities: labour are persecuting us so we won't ever vote for them again. idiots: lefties and their ideological purity. 😏 you all deserve reform, honestly. have fun with it when it happens.

Keir Starmer is going to look in the mirror and tell himself he has to get more racist

£5m donaltion to ensure his security for the rest of his life yet he couldn't even secure his PC or attend constituency surgeries, eh...

Nigel Farage is claiming his computer was hacked and the infomation he received a £5m donation was illegally obtained. He has stopped saying his house was firebombed, though, after the police said they were investigating a burglary not a firebomb.

For those unfamiliar with how British politics works, here's how to decode statements made by politicians today:

With Reform poised to fuck up local councils across the UK, everything is about to get a bit more difficult for trans and non-binary people. Funding will disappear. Opportunities will dry up. Community mutual aid is going to become increasingly important in those areas. Help where you can.

Happy 100th birthday, Sir David Attenborough!

Having to be student facing the day after an election should be double pay what do you mean I have to pretend everythings fine and I’m not constantly checking for results

thursday evening routine is now working late to finish working on what i expect my PI wants to see in our meeting tomorrow morning, but inevitably there will be a new thing to focus on instead

Reform = Corrupt

It’s absolute horses out there innit, blimey

What is especially galling is that this saved zero dollars, since the cruise ships pay for the inspections. And now their industry is less trusted because of perceived health risks. Amazing lose-lose policymaking.

Baby lady managed to shed all by herself yesterday, finally revealing healthy skin. She also managed to headbutt the underside of this propped up bit of cork (meant to help her climb up and down from a raised area) causing it to collapse on top of her. Seems to have forgotten/forgiven it now

I quite like voting. All the candyfloss, the donut vans, those games where you can win a teddy. The helter skelters. All that.
