Thinking about all those people who told me they HAD to vote for the Lesser Evil party as their gov now starts seeing piles of valuables collected from the undesirables processed in mass numbers as a pr victory

it's so good to hear a british politician on the main bbc news platforms actually saying this stuff though. like we just got used to it not happening for years

Labour's asylum policy on periodical review will a) increase backlog, b) more administration, c) endanger political dissidents and opens the UK to malign foreign assertions The root causes are Home Office's inability to process cases and lack of treaties following Brexit. So fix the root causes!

Cruel. Callous. Cowardly. The public are seeing this Labour government for exactly who they are. We all have a responsibility to make them pay at the ballot box. Reject the hate. Reject them. This is not who we are. Let's make hope normal again. Join.greenparty.org.uk

Once again, I have to point out how obviously inorganic the entire anti-trans backlash is. A handful of billionaires are astroturfing the whole thing with enormous amounts of cash.

like, all in on hating immigrants and trans people is the core of the reactionary centrist agenda, and the result is that Labour looks close to permanently incinerating itself as a viable party.

I find this pretty striking - we're not even offered the standard "here's why Mamdani's victory is actually trouble for the left" kind of gymnastics, the strategy really seems to be to hope no one notices

it's basically impossible to argue with this, they have won significant policy concessions, and there's no reason to think they'll stop pushing now that Labour have opened the door for them

Does it seem correct to you, to say that Sir Keir has saved his party by listening to what the public want and giving it to them? No it doesn’t, that appears to have been catastrophically wrong. Do see anyone apologising for having got it ludicrously wrong? I don’t.

‘what if torture and inhumane and degrading treatment was fine sometimes’ – the Labour Party

Watching people pour through the released Epstein files and just thinking how much better things would be if reputible, responsible, morally centered journalists had been fully engaged with the Epstein story from the beginning.

A Labour MP, there. Do you see why we said these clowns were disastrous and had to be sidelined as a matter of urgency?

There is no difference in practice between removing rights of individuals and leaving the ECHR. The end outcome is still the same, people lose rights. If human rights are an obstacle to your policy it is not the rights which are the issue, it is your policy. Labour going full Reform at this stage.

What actually happened is the opposite of "woke". There is a turkey shortage because of bird flu. You know the sort of thing animal welfare regulations and consumer protections might have prevented if not for decades of deregulation.

The Labour Government reeling off the same far-right talking points on immigration. And look who is celebrating. The far-right. There is a political alternative that won’t ever scapegoat those fleeing war, persecution and torture join.greenparty.org.uk

made a similar point on the opinions podcast this week in response to the idea that epstein is a dead end. not only are actual voters interested in this but it divides the gop and puts pressure on the president. it would be political malpractice to treat it as a sideshow

Looks like child sexual abuser, Jeffrey Epstein may have been using his financial connections to help Bannon opaquely fund far-right operations in Europe. We already know that “gender-critical” groups were funded opaquely from the US. We need an inquiry to find out which were funded via Epstein.

Why, it’s almost like there was some kind of elite project to benefit themselves that everyone who matters is still lying to themselves and the public about, decades later

Do you notice the symmetry, with all of the lads suddenly understanding Boris Johnson would not just quietly fuck off because the press started telling the public just how idiotic and corrupt the rulers they deliberately inflicted upon everyone were, and then they had to turn the screw on him

Political journalism, and the elite tier of journalism generally, got taken over by billionaire courtiers, conservative activists and sex-pest dipshits and those three groups have largely hounded the real reporters out of the profession as a matter of class self-interest.

After their lives are turned upside-down by war or persecution, spending months or years escaping & living in camps, Mahmoud wants to subject refugees to permanent uncertainty which will affect their ability to get jobs & housing. The impermanence of their status will create a permanent underclass.

The reason Streeting doesn’t want doctors and nurses to have salaries that reflect their skills and qualifications is that it makes it much harder to privatise the NHS.

In Nov 2024, Keir Starmer announced a working partnership with US asset manager Blackrock, who own $11 trillion in assets. Their endgame? To turn green spaces into 'natures assets'. Your local park could become a tokenised asset. Access may become conditional on fees or corporate permission.

Popularity contest between NHS staff and this guy? I’d be putting my cash on the doctors to win that one, myself.

Thinking about Brianna Ghey while reading this article on screen time and bullying. Labour are using her name to push for a crackdown on phone use among teens. But this research indicates increased screen time does *not* correlate with increased bullying for trans kids - unlike their cis peers.

So Wes Streeting allies want him to become Prime Minister - for the Labour Government to tank even faster. We don't have time to play these silly games - people are suffering now. Keep growing the alternative - they need replacing. Join.greenparty.org.uk

A Labour Party has jettisoned plans to increase taxes on unearned income - disproportionately enjoyed by the wealthy - and is increasing them instead on the earned income of normal people. What a shocking indictment.

Well, would you look at who's on the byline here www.bbc.com/news/uk-5528...

The latest Bulletin of Applied Transgender Studies is out, and it's a doozy: a special issue on "Dynamics of Transphobic Content and Disinformation". With topics including Youtube, Mumsnet, LGB Alliance, Chinese TERFs, and transvestigators, this is an vital read! bulletin.appliedtransstudies.org

The fact that this person remains Health Secretary is objectively one of the most significant British political scandals of the post-Covid era. But because he's doing something the media barons like, everyone has decided it's fine.

More broadly, when all these clowns said Tyrannical Wokeness Has Gone Too Far, they specifically meant e.g. effective mass campaigns against elite impunity for sexual offending; the police murdering citizens in broad daylight, and allied governments being overthrown in the Arab Spring.

Given that Peter Thiel is mentioned in the Epstein Files, this article in @prospectmagazine.co.uk is an important read about his company, Palentir controlling our NHS data. Why is the government not protecting us from companies like this? app.prospectmagazine.co.uk/story/71511/...

Recently I talked to a woman who had been raped about cross examination. She went into a catatonic state for 15 mins, then asked me to hold her hand, and then began to cry. We discussed whether she should refuse to give evidence - even though it would mean he got off. And now this 👇🏻

An anonymous government source briefing that the briefing from another anonymous source was actually from an imposter..........a fascinating epistemological problem developing here

Peter Thiel is in the Epstein emails, enjoying himself. Peter Thiel is an overt, convinced, outspoken Nazi. Peter Thiel's company is being paid by the UK government to crawl all over YOUR personal data. Oswald Mosley's grandson runs his UK operation. You can't make it up.

Just leaving this here www.thenational.scot/news/2545164...

This means we’re going back to very aggressive cross examination of victims in sex crime cases, all the way back to the bad old days with the horror stories you’ve heard about women’s sexual histories being pored over in minute detail.

I find the glee here about making thousands of hard working NHS staff redundant - and simultaneously therefore ensuring that clinical staff's workloads are increased even further with administration tasks they didn't sign up for - both tone deaf and distasteful.

Summary of todays proceedings against the EHRC by the indomitable @reactiveashley.bsky.social. Some interesting comments made during the day appearing to confirm some events we suspected - such as the EHRC playing political games in the media in an attempt to push through their bigoted guidance.

Major news. Police Scotland’s newly announced “sex at birth” recording policy represents a deeply regressive and discriminatory shift in policing practice. It raises profound concerns for the dignity, safety and human rights of transgender people across Scotland.

Oh my word. EHRC just admitted in court they were playing politics and trying to pressure a Minister. @ganhri.bsky.social, you up? 😅

49/ The judge asked whether this constitutes a failure to follow sections 8 and 9. The response was yes, a careful, structured, and sensitive consideration was not given.

43/ The judge made a witty remark that “policing toilets is beyond our common experience, perhaps it is a construct [exists solely in the heads of] those in this room.”
