I mean, what. Are these women wrong? No, they are not wrong: they are responding correctly and perceptively to our leaders enforcing an utterly bleak and miserable reality upon everyone, then grinding home their total impunity to make sure everyone understands resisting is futile. The end.

Once again, the right is openly admitting that the entire focus on trans youth is to ultimately ban all gender affirming care for adults. All the credulous reporters and institutions that helped launder this right wing project are responsible. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

Four years ago

damn. what a wild thing for a senior civil servant to have done unilaterally without ministerial input. ah well.

This Lord Robertson? Why are arms dealers being invited on to do free adverts by these programs?

Yes Kent, come on!

John Prescott's son stands for Green Party in Hull local elections www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

A reminder, again, that the establishment have to maintain that the Corbyn era was a non stop cascade of Hitlerian racism because otherwise their response - a decade of public pants shitting, Boris Johnson, diamond hard Brexit and Keir Starmer - seems like an insane overreaction.

Somebody is trying to wreck that ceasefire ASAP

The time between fossil fuel crises is just going to keep shrinking, until there's no discrete single "crisis" - just one unbroken prolonged state of global suffering due to fossil fuel unreliability The best time to ditch fossil fuels was 30 years ago. The second best time is now

The UK must immediately and unequivocally suspend support for the US military. The Government have tried to appease him, then they tried to say they're standing up to him. Words aren't enough - it's time for action.

This is pretty amazing, even with all possible caveats about it only being one poll etc.

Interesting. It seems that the public are simply wrong about whether MPs are in touch with them.

Interested to hear what the rules are for this new-found decorum. It seems as if Mothin Ali is fair game for racist lies because he's only a councillor. But even suggesting that MPs from opposing parties aren't very good at their jobs is unacceptable. That can't be right, can it?

Worth remembering that in this specific situation these guys are talking about an MP who entered the commons taking the place of a Labour MP who was texting people in private group chats about how he wanted his elderly constituents to die rather than to bother him.

Lewis: “in a piece of smart politics, he’s got the benefit of publicly opposing the war while still giving the Americans what they need”. Could we be more clear that this is called “repeatedly lying to the public about the most serious matters”, and that it is “smart” in the sense it is very bad.

What functions do human feelings perform?

Average of all the polls. We just hit crossover day! Great moment to join as we take on Reform next. Join.greenparty.org.uk

I made it my life mission to reference this as many times as I can

What an arsehole. Reform keep showing they only care about their donors' interests. inews.co.uk/news/grenfel...

Lads, people understand that “guy who is under extreme scrutiny for misconduct, accidentally misplaces incriminating evidence” is automatically suspect. They don’t think Morgan was burgled by the Loch Ness Monster.

I am not a religious person and believe our short lives together on this planet are all we have, and yet I have a very strong irrepressible conviction that whatever the fuck this is is against God

I’m not a mom, but I’ve noticed that “wine mom” and “Patagonia wearing mom” and “moms pushing strollers” are cited as people who aren’t expected to take political action, or even to hold strong opinions. You all had moms, why do you think so little of her? Because she made you eat veggies? Grow up.

It's time to see past our differences and remember what connects us. When we realise where our strength lies - in each other - that's when change happens. A powerful message from @mothinali.bsky.social: youtu.be/VPsR1hfTaAA

I note that even as the lads are now admitting what happened, they still have to say “destroy Corbynism”, because that - while correct - is not quite as correct as “Labour officials and MPs uniting with the right wing press and working together to ensure the Labour Party lost the General Election”.

Since the 2003 when the Olympic committee allowed trans people to compete, 88,000 cis athletes have taken part and just one (yes ONE) trans woman. She went out in the first heat effectively coming 42nd out of 42. Explain to me again how trans women are dominating women’s sports.

Now they back with “Okay, what about Ed Miliband again, you wankers seemed to like that guy last time, see how magnanimous we are being”. And it’s too late baby, now it’s too late.

This would mean that, with Green support, Plaid wouldn’t need Labour support for a majority.

This is why Wes Streeting's promises that the NHS data he is giving Palantir won't be misused are utterly meaningless. Even Palantir says so.👇🏻

This is looking good, let's hope this translates into the end for Fidesz, even in Hungary's fixed system. With bad results in France, failure to win in Slovenia and Reform sliding in the polls, let's hope this is the turning point against fascism in Europe.

The proliferation of this quote is so interesting to me. It's often posted by right wing chuds who use it to defend conventional aesthetic ideas — such as the importance of having a lean, athletic body — but they don't really understand Owens's work. Let's talk about it. 🧵

"One FCA source said: 'Once Palantir understands how we detect money-laundering threats, how do we know that they are ethically reliable enough not to go to share that information?'" We don't, of course, and only the gullible or corrupt would assume they won't.

Wait so Google is just... editing your headlines now? A copy desk nobody hired and nobody can fire. 90% search market share deciding what your article says before anyone reads it. How is that not editorial liability

What the hell? Apart from anything else (and there’s plenty) a headteacher removed all books not written for children from a secondary school library!

Least aware religious fanatic I’ve ever seen.

A deeply bizarre headline for UK residents.

i wonder if part of it is they *have* to believe it's an electoral necessity otherwise they'd be harming hundreds of thousands of vulnerable people for no good reason & they can't imagine themselves as the sort of person who'd do that

The UK is complicit in the desecration of international law. Today, we publish the Gaza Tribunal Report — and uncover the full scale of British complicity in genocide. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

The absolute best case explanation for why Ministers are handing over vast troves of sensitive data to Palantir is that they are breathtakingly naive. Best case because the other explanations are: corruption or that they support its authoritarian, anti-human, far right agenda.

Keir Starmer says what Kneecap stand for is ‘intolerable’. Given the things he tolerates just fine, this seems a bit much.

How does a guy who is “not really a Labour politician at all” get elected Labour leader, in highly dubious circumstances, without anyone saying “this is a bit weird”? Could this have anything to do with him inexplicably replacing the US ambassador with Peter Mandelson, who was very keen on the job?

Two of the people on this panel were defeated at the polls by voters who shifted to the left 🤷‍♂️

i, for one, am delighted that we finally have a definition of “woke”

The Green Party's Mothin Ali on the importance of community spaces and how the Green Party has a plan to invest £5 billion to revive them #C4News "People are angry, our country is divided. And I get it" "One of the main reasons is the loss of our country's social infrastructure"

For years we have had the supposed virtues of "grown-up politics" shoved down our throats as a front for an empty managerial administration of unchallenged power. This is where it leads. Some self-satisified briefcase dickhead on TV self-satisfyingly rationalising the massacre of schoolgirls.

Oh look. They can’t convince the public or the courts that PA are ‘terrorists’ so they’re going to create a whole new category to crush protest, which I’m sure will always be applied super carefully and proportionately

Muslim voices speaking about war in the Middle East are treated not as participants in democratic debate but as suspects within it. Our motives are interrogated, our loyalties questioned, and our words interpreted through a presumption of bad faith. www.thenational.scot/politics/259...
