That means that even amongst the DUP and TUV bigots there's now a sizeable chunk that realises this was a stupid fucking idea.

You think a taoiseach might have a smidgin of power. BUt Micheál Martin devotes long hours to convincing everyone there's nothing to be done. And we see and hear it so often, it starts to sink in. Nothing to be done. Change isn't possible. Then Mamdani does more in four months than FFG in a decade.

Just what the fuck is happening in this country?? From this story www.theguardian.com/society/2026...

LOTS OF US: "If you keep expecting people to vote for the slightly less evil option it's gonna bite you in the arse eventually..." THEM: "Just fucking vote for us, you cunts, you pieces of shit, you useless smears of mucus, why is that so fucking difficult for you, MY MY how I DESPIIIIISE you!"

“99.2% of GPS patients who received gender-affirming medical care continue to identify as transgender into adulthood. Of the remaining 0.8%, most did not regret the medical treatment they received.” This is why transphobes are terrified of youth care, and why youth care should be legal everywhere.

Kidnapped in international waters by a rogue state that is committing genocide, ethnic cleansing and illegal invasions and land grabs of its neighbours. But still @MichealMartinTD will not sanction them. Instead he and his government are aiding their crimes. #SpéirGorm

People talk a lot about the social consequences of the Internet, and yeah it has drawbacks, but I have met the best people I know on the Internet, including my wife! And some of the best friends I've ever had. Remember that there is good with the bad and the world is not black and white

I dunno why but I get the feeling they drew the Tyris frames first and then traced them for the remaining characters when doing the back turning poses in the endings for the PC-Engine version of Golden Axe

Man who was Labour through and through and even got sympathetic, pandering coverage when he quit the party during the Corbyn years as proof they were losing the good people they were meant to represent.

thinking again about how the pitch that Progress Ireland made to their investors was essentially that it'd be super duper easy to gain a lot of influence in Irish politics, just sooo fucking easy, barely any effort

Reform are very good at moving the goalposts. They said they’d win Gorton and Denton (lost by 12pts), win Wales (lost by 6pts), destroy the Tories in 2026 (PNS rose vs 2025) and win six London boroughs (won one). Each time journalists concluded those outcomes were clear from the outset

Birth rate discourse is like “It turns out if you give women more choices, they’re less likely to make ones that make their lives harder.” Which is really helpful in figuring out how we can improve society somewhat. But instead people are like wow giving women more choices was a mistake

Nothing means anything, there are no rules. They want to exist in a world where "heads I win, tails you lose" is something all their opponents have to accept and are throwing tantrums now they're being told to fuck off.

You can believe it's right that a large scale change like altering the voting system should be endorsed through election on a manifesto that contains it, but also acknowledge that in British politics the "next parliament" never comes and is code for "I will never do it"

♥️ A positive story of the strengths of multicultural Britain. 💪 We are stronger when we are kind and when we welcome those of all backgrounds into our communities.

The government isn't forcing churches and community centres and town halls across the country to fly the Ukrainian flag. People are doing it themselves because we see a battle and we know which side we are on. There are lots of ways in which Reform is wildly out of touch with Britain.

They've invited him before, and they invited Nick Griffin when I was an undergrad. The premier hobby debating club for the British political class just has a long term belief that fascists are worth listening to.

Seems to me that “Britain is ungovernable” really means “we, a bunch of smart insiders, can no longer inflict benefit-scything insider swine upon the public and have them tolerate it in resentful silence”. The latter is certainly true, and it’s not at all clear that the former is.
