The worst thing about the Wes Streeting briefing is that Starmer apologised to him and a big deal has been made about it - whilst no female cabinet member, or Sue Gray, received the same treatment. Sexist boys club with Starmer and Streeting at the heart of it.

"This energy!!!" 👏👏👏👏 Zack Polanski joins Rizzle Kicks out on stage in Bristol

I distinctly remember someone saying the NHS wasn't cutting staff recently.

Wes Streeting is planning a coup and The Guardian are in on it, hence why comments weren't up so people couldn't criticise him this morning. He is, in most respects, Labour's Liz Truss.

Not a fan of Starmer, of course, but Streeting has been gunning for his job since Beer Korma started trending in 2022. The idea he's being an adult with transparent denials about a coup are nonsense. This is, "The cookie jar was broken before you went out, mummy," territory.

Every year I toy with the idea of making this my banner for Thought Bubble, and every year I chicken out.

Example #1,203,907 why Gail Simone is the absolute best.

I feel metal af today! Forget the haters and transphobed and do your own thing.

This week has been a long year. But you know what to do. 😍

Tim Davie being forced out for not being fascist enough is certainly an interesting take. Almost wll the allegations are utter bullshit, of course. www.theguardian.com/media/2025/n...

When remembering those who died in the wars, please remember that they're portrayed as heroes by the same weak, fascist-aligned types of politicians who endlessly banged a drum for war and isolation that sent many working-class men and boys to mechanised slaughter in the name of glory.

Like many others, I am disappointed and angry about the decision by @cyclinguk.bsky.social to change the eligibility criteria for Women in Cycling 2025 to exclude trans women. Trans women are women 🏳️‍⚧️ I have requested for my name and face to be removed. www.cyclingweekly.com/news/do-we-n...

😂😂😂😂😂

Cis women have had enough of Transphobes speaking for them They unambiguously reject the anti-Trans+ rhetoric used to divide and exclude Women say it’s time to stand up and say it loud: Not In Our Name Join the pushback 👇🏼

This is, FWIW, why you're better off curating your following list well and using the Following tab rather than the Discover feed

But it's the lefties who are out of touch, aye

Who could have predicted that mainstream media and politicians mainstreaming far-right talking points and symbols would embolden fascists (except all the research available on the matter)? www.theguardian.com/news/2025/no...

Dear @rweingarten.bsky.social and @aft.org: Please cancel your partnership with this evil company and stop pushing “A.i.” on teachers and students.

www.ticketsource.co.uk/arcadia-roll... Great news: Manchester's 3 roller derby teams are getting together to have a massive fundraiser event for Trans rights. Please get your tickets at this link and come support trans inclusive sport

If this is happening, it should be interesting and fun!

This wasn’t about leaking GTA VI. It was: Rockstar illegally firing union members to stop the studio from unionizing. it directly contradicts Rockstar’s PR narrative and confirms almost everything that people suspected was going on.

I will never wear a poppy ever again. I did as a child but I was deeply affected by seeing my granddad cry over having seen all his friends die around him fifty years before. These days, the poppy largely supports putting more people through that, or worse.

Please also report dead or sick birds to BirdTrack via www.birdtrack.net for monitoring purposes. Please share this message far and wide with friends and birding communities. Thank you.

I like how the caption on this photo reads as if he's making a claim that could not be independently verified.

I really wish people would stop pretending social media and the Internet have magical powers. Even "AI" doesn't. It's mostly just people or regurgitated dumb shit people say, and people should be held responsible for it instead of people being coy about it.

When the NHS talk about the “risks” of puberty blockers for trans teens, they don’t mean side effects, they mean the “risk” child will stay trans. Being trans is the fail state to them, and they would rather children be dead. We know PB are safe because we give them to cis children and some adults.

the minutes of the October meeting between WellBN and SussexICB are chilling. Andrew Dodson from the Sussex side just openly saying patients will be “deprescribed,” that they’ll have no choice and won’t be allowed to talk to the team taking their healthcare away

Not every Trans+ person wants children - and that’s, of course, entirely valid But the growing number of Trans+ folk who can and do have children makes a complete mockery of transphobes and their hateful slogan: “They recruit because they can’t reproduce” @divamag.bsky.social

Imagine being so bad that the Democrats (Zohran aside) beat you in elections...

Noted bigot who wanted to make prejudice sexy again regrets unleashing fascism shocker. www.theguardian.com/society/2025...

I suppose it was only a matter of time, once judges decided that transphobia was protected under the Equality Act, before they decided that full blown fascism was (www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/crim...).

75 years ago today, the European Convention of Human Rights, ECHR, was created. The UK played a key role in shaping it. We should celebrate the ECHR & the vision of all who brought it to life. We must resist regressive & cynical moves to rip us out of the convention!

Use TransActual and Trans Solidarity Alliance's tool to email your MP and speak up for trans rights and say no to Trans Exclusion - everyone should have the right to live with safety, dignity and care!

NHS Sussex are forcibly detransitioning trans people. These patients need full restoration of their healthcare, and everyone involved in doing this needs to be sacked.

All anyone needs to know about Keir Starmer is that when neo-nazis started putting flags on lampposts, he rushed to support them because he thought neo-nazis and the working-class were the same thing.

I think it's pretty clear that Trump's main goal is gerrymandering the Republicans into long-term power to protect himself. Deportations, anti-trans laws, racism and misogyny target groups that, at least, in how Republicans perceive them, vote against Trump and the far-right.

I'm hearing, anecdotally via service users, that the new children's gender clinics have some very high staff turnover even in their first 18 months of existence. Families have an appointment and a clinician leaves before they have their second.

I know this might be hard to hear, and the far-right, politicians and newspapers are being assholes and lying when they mention it, but I have actually seen 20 years of "stupid men" stereotyping in the media, especially on adverts...

I'm finding it hard to be interested in political analysis right now because everything seems so surface level, so obvious. It is the worst of times but also the shallowest of times. Trump is bad, is he? Starmer is dull and grim? Racists are acting in bad faith and the press are providing cover? :-(

Modern legacy party politics is figuring out how to do what The Torygraph demands in the cheapest way possible and then pretending it's the fault of the left when it fails.

When you get your nutso conspiracy theories from Buffy season 5. I really hope this isn't the plot of the Buffy reboot. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

There has been a stabbing near the train station in Cambridge. No real details have come out yet. Despite this, the anti-immigrant racists are already calling for civil war on Facebook... Ffs, this country really sucks ass.

Absolute perfection. #Reform

cis man are gonna die bc of transphobia now

It still baffles me that no-one has made a 'Passport to Pimlico' TV series set post-Brexit. The amount of material you could get out of that concept would be huge.

Remember last week when she said she would be a voice FOR the unions at cabinet? www.theguardian.com/politics/202...
