ngl I can absolutely imagine Wes Streeting saying this about gay people too.

I'm sure it's a pure coincidence that all the people who Streeting takes 'expert advice' from have an easily discoverable anti-trans bias.

gotta catch them all

“Sir Chris said he had “deliberately stayed out of this debate, because my view is far too many people have thrown far too many arguments into this where it’s not their area of expertise”.” Mate, you’re England’s chief medical officer: you’re supposed to get involved.

Stancil before the invasion: show yourselves, cowards, I will never log off. Stancil after the invasion: I WILL FACE GOD AND WALK BACKWARDS INTO HELL

this is the publication which hired people off Etsy to curse Charlie Kirk just before he got, well, Kirked. So. Sleep with one eye open etc.

Side note, but it is still striking how little Reform actually look like the rest of Britain in basically any polling and yet their base is treated as quintessentially authentic.

everything's about gender except gender which is about race. also: cocaine.

No! No!!! How could we ruin our stable, peaceful world with CHAOS WITH ED MILIBAND?

Big money has bought British politics 75% of Reform’s money has come from three rich white men democracyforsale.substack.com/p/75-of-refo...

I initially thought that Joel was sharing an old news story because I didn’t realize that this is different from the New York/Arizona/Vermont/Arizona YOUNG Republican Nazi group chat.

if you'll forgive the phrase, 'Arabs don't count.'

legit freak. alas for no more Behind the Bastards live episodes on him.

Anyone else thinking of the way the administration used 'fighting antisemitism' as an excuse for suppressing dissent in universities and clamping down on academic freedom?

The idea that it's antisemitic to say that Israel practices apartheid really is just ludicrous and even if you possess a pro-Israel perspective it is going to backfire. There is, demonstrably and factually, a two-tiered racial system in the land that Israel controls. You can't rebut it with words.

jesse singal suggesting that someone else has a professional stake in this is wild since it's the only story he's written in a decade

this is best understood, I think, as a kind of pornography.

*stares at every vaguely left-wing person's reply section* well, good luck with that

Unfortunately, the BBC's formal decision to "pivot to Reform" under DG Tim Davie has been fully institutionalised, and is not based on a logical model so much as internalised ideology and systemic inertia.

Telling blatant, easily-disproven lies is the thing you'd expect in the first speech from a new Reform convert (and indeed in the hundred-and-first).

A German court has ruled that it is legal to state that the man who runs the Müller (Rice) empire is a supporter of the far-right AfD. Müller repeatedly denied it, which says everything about how bad he knew that association could be for his business. I hope the boycotts intensify.

if 👏 a 👏 point 👏 is 👏 valid 👏 you 👏 can 👏 quote 👏 it 👏from 👏 someone 👏 who 👏 isn't 👏 a 👏 nazi

TLDR there is no festival where Jews are commanded to get so drunk that we can't tell the difference between a military base and a primary school.

I see it's a day on the internet.

anything of any value that you get from a problematic person,you can also get from a good person. if you think 'the only person making this valid point is Nick Fuentes' you are following the wrong people. if you think 'this point is good but the only person making it is Nick Fuentes' you are wrong.

modestly, we're only responsible for 75% or so of the rise in transgenderism. like 80%, tops.

bibi is just descriptively correct and the next dem needs to just sever all ties with israel. defense, trade, all of it. even thinking on utterly cynical grounds: israeli political leadership and overall politics is overtly opposed to the american left-of-center project

firstly, yay dual loyalty trope. secondly, if Starmer isn't obsequious and bellicose and Islamophobic enough for you you may be interested in Tommy Robinson.

it is not in fact the job of a newspaper to print disgusting shit excusing mass murder. looking forward to your op/ed by David Irving.

CBS News conducts a poll. It finds that only 18% of Americans advocate removing Iran's leadership "by force," and 74% say Trump needs congressional approval before starting a war. So their headline is, "CBS News poll on Americans' views on Iran prior to conflict." www.cbsnews.com/news/cbs-new...

the BBC is just GBNews that we subsidise. they might as well be reading out Tommy Robinson's tweets.

you are literally the one guy who isn't allowed to complain about this

The CIA determined prior to the attacks yesterday that the death of Khamenei would lead to a succession of a leader from the more hardline Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps. Trump and Netanyahu killed him anyway. They unleashed everything that comes next.

*stares in IBM*

I feel like this absolutely sums up what's going on here. It ought to be impossible to not know where this stuff is from: it's the newspapers. It's all day every day on every front page. It's what our own fascist elite tell us every day they want. And yet, everyone is confused.

been saying this all through Gaza. the ONLY reason average people should be viewing this is if they're deniers. if you know that a. kids got killed and b. killing kids is bad you do not need to have that confirmed with photographic evidence.

sorry lads it is no longer a la mode to write the name of your celebrity crush/nemesis on your shirt to remember it

probably fine that the leader of a far right party that has been normalised by the entire media is an election denialist. it's a bit irritating but it's never caused a real problem anywhere else.

"Some islamist kids may have been bombed [...] Oh no whatever." ⬆️ absolutely the best way to win hearts and minds because Iranians will be glad to be rid of their 'islamist kids.' this attack will not result in any blowback. source: Iraq.

every single psycho thing Donald Trump does he does only because almost every single federally elected Republican has chosen unilaterally, independently, and with complete freedom to go along with it unconditionally

it's a clever funny sick burn because because... [baffled shrug]

"The Islamists oppose women getting an education," I mutter, as I aim my missile at the girls school

this map is damning. Israel provides dense networks of bomb shelters for predominantly Jewish areas while predominantly Palestinian areas face barriers to shelter construction.

Still a bit shocking at how reluctant UK and US news media is to grapple with the possibility that the US government under Trump has adopted a strategy of kidnapping or assassinating internationally recognised political leaders

or perhaps you don't need to choose

for the nth time I wish to point out that absolutely all of this could have been avoided if the American people had been able to overcome their racism and sexism sufficiently to vote for a (very moderate actually!) Black woman, but they couldn't and so here we are.

you knew this was going to happen, didn't you.

well I suppose all we can do is see if Starmer thinks that collaborating with another bloody war in another country that's never attacked us will be popular with Reform voters.

I hate this chart because the first time I looked at it I saw 'should Britain shart extracting shale gas' and now that image is stuck in my head.

I’ve warned for some time that Labour can’t keep taking its base for granted, and Gorton and Denton makes that plain. People say they don't recognise the party they once trusted. We’ve moved away from communities that built us. If we don’t change, others will step into the space we have left open.
