I yelped when I zoomed in

Keir Starmer seems to forget that even before the internet and social media people could compare and contrast the different messages he gives to different audiences

The Ambassador of South Africa to France, who filed a genocide case against Israel at the International Criminal Court, has died after falling from the 22nd floor of the hotel where he was staying in Paris. It was reported that the ambassador had been unreachable for the two days prior to his death

The ADL defended Elon’s Nazi salute and still got here. Who could’ve expected this except everyone.

"We cannot claim to have moved on from the venal political culture that brought us the VIP Lane until the ministers involved face consequences too.” goodlaw.social/ph6f

Galls me when old, male centrists sneer at Thunberg, accuse her of "attention seeking". Damn right she's attention seeking. She's drawing attention to starvation, genocide. All her critics reveal is their secret guilt at their own, shameful inertia. History will judge them for saying, doing nothing.

Rest in peace to Jane Goodall, whose tireless advocacy for primates has brought us closer than ever to the Planet of the Apes becoming a terrifying reality

One of my favorite anecdotes from THE PREHISTORY OF THE FAR SIDE: "That doesn't sound like the Jane Goodall we know."

The new book is here. Available for pre-order now if it's something you fancy. All things 'Escape to Victory'. New interviews with players and cast, memories, revelations and fun. 'Escape: A Love Letter to a Cult Football Classic'. Out October 20th.

Oh my goodness, it’s time to hang my ADHD Awareness Month advent calendar, the one with 256 doors, most of which I have already forgotten about and most of which have the same number written on twice!!

🚨 UPDATE 🚨 The news is in, and it’s good 🚫 GWD, the anti-trans lobby group led by four disgraced expelled members, has been denied a platform at Autumn Conference They tried to strong-arm the party with legal threats in order to spread their transphobic agenda But the party stood firm 1.

Apparently Israel’s genocidal acts are just “daft”.

Or they put on police uniform.

Oh hi! Does anyone fancy…. 🎃 The Spooky Halloween-branded Food Thread of 2025 🎃???

"Fees were then scrapped in 2017 after the supreme court ruled they were unlawful" Oh damn, so the government can simply legislate away Supreme Court judgments that they don't like? That's interesting...

happy halloween

Here I am in 2020 in the flimsiest, most pitful PPE - like so many other NHS staff, some of whom died from the Covid they caught in their hospitals. Tory peer Michelle Mone - who today lost her legal case & must repay the govt £122m - dares to claim she’s been ‘scapegoated’. What, Michelle? 🧵

"Racism slurs" = calling racists racist.

Dreadful Guardian article that fails to mention. 1. The Starmer Government's failure to take action to protect fuel bills 2. Global heating 3. Brexit All of which are very pertinant. Decontextualising 'journalism' at its worst. archive.is/gMBkn

Nigel Farage has been a lifelong racist. He's been a racist since his school days. David Lammy was forced to apologise for saying Farage flirted with the Hitler Youth - but what do you call it when someone sings Hitler Youth songs? Read Chloe Deakin's letter on Farage's fascism and racism at school.

No. A wealth tax won't solve everything. No one ever said it will. But until we begin to challenge the power & wealth of the 1% - then we know this Labour government has been bought and paid for.

My favourite Barry Cryer story is his account of Nicholas Parsons asking Ross Noble who his favourite comedian was. "Richard Pryor" Noble replied, "Genius! So sad he set himself on fire while freebasing crack cocaine". Parsons, visibly upset, asked Barry later: "did you hear about Richard Briers?"

Yesterday Starmer said that Brexit caused the small boat problem but instead of addressing Brexit he's now talking about rewriting international law. Twat.

thinking about the time every senior female labour member of staff got invited to angela rayner's hen do. except rachel reeves. but rachel reeve's sister went. and didn't tell her about it. and it was in rachel reeve's constituency. imagine have vibes that off in the *labour party*

Owen Jones has been banned from 'Labour' Party conference - but Maya Forstater is welcome. And they wonder why progressive voters are deserting them in droves.

Just pointing out that one of the orgs here is Genspect, an anti-trans org that has previously used the feminist label for their work, out here arguing that A Handmaid's Tale is radicalizing people on the left.

This tweet has been doing the rounds on Twitter now that Nathan Gill has pleaded guilty. If only someone had tried to investigate UKIP & Russian interference 🧐 There’s another timeline where the Guardian supported me, doubled down on the investigation & I look 5 years younger ..

Wes Streeting using his Labour conference speech to attack Reform for being anti-science. "Anti science, anti reason, anti-health" says the man who backs quack science when it comes to trans people.

I’m sorry, but Sex Matters is an extremist hate group. Here is Maya Forstater complaining that the updated Scottish schools guidance that bans all trans pupils from gender-aligned toilets is STILL not good enough, because it doesn’t mandate “outing” trans kids. www.scotsman.com/news/politic...

"I have worked with Nathan Gill over a period of years and he's been terrific, he's never, ever, let me down. He's as honest as the day is long and, in the leaders' debates that have been taking place in Wales, he's performed very creditably." - Nigel Farage, 2016

Every day the two-child limit pushes 109 children into hunger. The UK gov PROMISED to end the need for emergency food. So we're backing@savechildrenuk.bsky.social to greet MPs to the Labour Party Conference with a message they cannot miss. 👀

Starmer; "Ours is a mission for what I consider the true Britain. The Britain of decent, reasonable, compassionate, tolerant people." When he imposes a toilet ban & segregation, he needs reminding of these words; these are NOT decent, reasonable, compassionate or tolerant acts on his part.

Out of the three mass shootings today

Grok told users the lead singer of The Cure was the Mormon church shooter.

The Aberdeen Hotel-Shouting Team has managed to combine the 14 Words (global Nazi slogan) with a poppy banner celebrating infamous antifascists. Incredible work.

How am I only now at the age of 35 learning that there's been a shop named Arseholes for the last 50 years

Anthony Gordon's dedication to recreating all of Princess Diana's iconic looks is to be admired

Pedocon theory remains undefeated

A video has been shared online with claims it shows two boys being arrested for waving an England flag. But the footage is actually from a 2008 episode of Traffic Cops, and shows something entirely different.

Okatsuka posted the censorship rules for the controversial comedy festival, noting how many "You can’t say anything anymore!" comedians have signed on. www.avclub.com/riyadh-comed...

you're laughing. George Galloway has been detained under anti-terror legislation at Gatwick Airport on the way back from Moscow and you're laughing.

OTD 1999: A Labour Govt loses its legal battle to *keep* the ban on gay and bi people serving in armed forces. After spending taxpayers’ £millions and 2 ½ years *defending* discrimination, Labour later claimed credit for being forced by the courts to stop inequality. Shameless! Yet…

... Thanks I guess? #adhd #adhdmeme #meme #adhs #tdah

The police will have the power to make it a criminal offence to cover your face at a public protest if Labour’s proposed policing bill becomes law, putting LGBTQIA+ people attending Pride events in danger of being outed

War ravaged Portland.

To have a cis only space is not anyone’s right just like having a whites only space is not anyones right and insisting it is, well, That, is fascism
