How can the BBC justify how much coverage they give other marches which are significantly smaller in size? The bias is so obviously blatant. www.theguardian.com/uk-news/live...

Greater Manchester Police has found "no evidence of any intent to influence or refrain any person from voting" in the Gorton and Denton by-election, after Reform made a complaint over alleged "family voting" The investigation looked at potential offences under the Representation of the People Act

When I came out to my parents, I was terrified. I stayed up all night and read the Prisoner Of Azkaban for comfort. My relationship with those books is more than nostalgia... You couldn't pay me to spend a single second of my finite life on supporting the franchise today.

The IOC has announced a trans and intersex athlete ban requiring an invasive SRY genetic test for female athletes. In the 20+ years trans women were eligible, only one ever competed and none ever medaled. This is solving for a problem that doesn't exist. www.nbcnews.com/sports/olymp...

Transphobia aside (and it should never be aside) absolutely hilarious to market a series which has a core aesthetic of childhood wonder with lengthy concrete gray sequences of child bullying that aren't even in the book. HBO Harry Potter has no idea why people ever even liked Harry Potter.

Okay, class! Who can identify whether this is stupidity or maliciousness? Show of hands! Ah, yes, you at the back. What’s that? The intention is irrelevant when the result is the same? Gold star!

Every time this discourse comes up I point out that it’s only a concern for a) racists and b) people who believe that economic growth must be endlessly exponential in order for society to survive, ie neoliberal capitalism

Not only would I be happy to replace Churchill on fivers with a badger, I'd replace the Churchill statue in Parliament Square with a big bronze badger AND I'd replace Ed Davey with an ACTUAL badger coz it'd probably vote in less austerity.

I know I’ve got some Labour local gov’t types following me, so I want to say this clearly so that you can share it internally as appropriate: I will never again vote Labour while these policies, or Wes Streeting, are in place. I will not vote Labour at any level because of this.

The NHS has now stopped all medication - puberty blockers and hormones - for trans minors. For most, unless they get drugs from other sources, this means a lifetime, in an increasingly violent and transphobic society, unable to pass. Under Wes Streeting NHS policy is harm and death for trans people.

Wrote up the by-election, the Green victory and the conferences for Labour at the @lrb.co.uk www.lrb.co.uk/blog/2026/fe...

Also how long do you think they can hold up this act of complaining about how diverse the coalition of interests backing the greens are while calling the greens divisive?

I see he's gone for "policies like legalising all drugs" twice in his letter. Guess he thinks treating drug misuse as a public heath issue is wrong.

it cannot be emphasised enough that what the BBC did at the BAFTAs is literally deliberately create a culture war flashpoint

Class war might not be trending or popular, but this is it encapsulated. This is the actual lived reality of austerity, poverty, casualisation and a class war carried out by a Parliament dominated by privilege, targeting those on the bottom rungs of the ladder through no fault of their own.

Morgan McSweeney and his downfall reveal what the Starmer project always was. A project defined by kneeling before wealth, seeking power for its own sake, ridding Labour of any principle or morality. It is an irredeemably corrupt project which was always doomed.

In the middle of a moral panic about sex trafficking so intense that I can't advertise a book about medieval history online and no one can access prom anymore, Labour's best and brightest are desperate to get on TV and let you know actually it is fine if rich people do it to poor girls.

It does make me proud of our culture that we’ve all pretty universally agreed that a 97 yr old lady dying of a preexisting illness was Liz Truss’ personal fault

This might sound like hyperbole. It is not. They took a decision they were warned would cause trans kids to die. Trans kids died. They covered that up and attacked those trying to expose their cover up. They deserve to go to prison and nobody will ever be held accountable. It is the UK way.

Give Zack Polanski a railgun

Gorton and Denton really matters for the entire country. It's the Green Party Vs Reform. I spoke to the Standard about how we're making hope normal again. www.standard.co.uk/news/politic...

I think when people think about "evil pedo billionaire conspiracy" they can often imagine it as working in the shadow one world government conspiracy theory sense, rather than how conspiracies actually work which looks more like The Traitors.

After decades of self-serving collaboration with the Tories, some within Labour still don’t seem to grasp that two-party politics is done for It’s time for them to step aside and allow the true socialist party in the room to build our country’s future

While some people are busy broadcasting their opinions on social media, other Trans+ folks are doing the hard, courageous work of meaningful advocacy for their community - and sometimes that means putting themselves in harm’s way Thank you @smartypantsmarty.com for stepping into the lion’s den

It's wild how you can't just phone up your GP's surgery and say 'can I have an appointment?' any more. You have to play phonecall lottery early for a phone appointment to determine if you need to see an actual human and if you don't get through by 9am you get to try again another day.

A reminder to the news media: “conflicting accounts” is what you say BEFORE the incontrovertible video evidence appears. After that, your job is to ask why one side is lying, not to repeat the lie and pretend no one knows the truth.

Starmer plans to attack the only Jewish party leader over antisemitism. He wants to attack Zack Polanski for challenging Britain's role as lapdog to Donald Trump. What does this tell us? Labour is very rattled - and they absolutely should be. www.huffingtonpost.co.uk/entry/exclus...

URGENT 🚨 We have just one week to stop Sex Matters infiltrating a vote to ban conversion therapy. We must stop them. Use our tool and tell the MPs to stand up for what's right ✊ https://goodlaw.social/945cd5

Whoa he said it out loud and didn't means test the fallout beforehand

Hi @thetimes.com This video is now 3 years old. It was clearly fake news at the time, and is even more fake news today. The firm didn't attract a single client, and the man making the claim in the video has been ousted from the law firm. It's time to publicly retract. youtu.be/TofQjUf6jtY?...

The answer to this is really obvious: - Right Wingers dislike Labour - This is tempered by support from the Left and minorities, supporting Labour - Starmer told Left/Minorities to F Off, then went on to attack them - There is now no societal counter to attacks on Labour except "sensible centrists"

This is an absolute disgrace of an article. 7% of the electorate in this council ward voted for Reform and yet the BBC News report it as this.

“AI is the future, you have to embrace it in video games” I spend most of my free time playing a multiplayer game released five years ago — & if I’m feeling particularly spicy, another released in 2007 I can and will just not buy things unless I know AI isn’t in it, like a trusted friend’s game

The White House claims the vote to rename the Kennedy Center was “unanimous.” That is false. I was muted on the call and denied the opportunity to speak or register my opposition. That is not consensus. That is censorship.

I cannot see the slightest justification for allowing anti-trans hate group ‘Sex matters’ to comment on this story. If you agree with me, a complaint to the BBC only takes a few moments. www-bbc-com.cdn.ampproject.org/c/s/www.bbc....

What do they think the word of the day even was, Shoot?

Guess I'll post this again

Today the findings of the Levy Review into adult trans healthcare have been published. We’re still digesting the report in full, and will be discussing its findings with trans-led organisations.

Having skimmed through the newly released NHS Levy report, several concerning points stand out: 🛑 No recommendation to uphold informed consent 🛑 Self-referral pathways are recommended to be scrapped 🛑 A lack of emphasis on promoting patient-centred care 1.

They are manipulating (crappy) diagnoses to keep everyone defined under mental illness. In Levy 'Gender Incongruence', the less pathologising WHO diagnosis is equated to 'being trans', while 'Gender Dysphoria' the DSM psychiatric disorder is defined as being distressed enough to need medical care.

Hello Bluesky! I do policy and politics at Good Law Project and I want to talk about it here. Mostly thinking about trans rights, big tech, and the far right. I would love to hear from anyone with similar interests/obsessions/millstones...

We got all the hits: - purchased by private equity firm - hid a bunch of layoffs - invested a bunch of money in AI - tried to make that money back by ruining the best product it now owned

We've got a new story to tell you. Only two days until our first game of Blood on the Clocktower (in real life) lands on the Yogscast YouTube channel!
