I know the Yanks are fearful of our 1g QDS dosing of paracetamol but this is ridiculous.

I’m so sick of seeing Farage and co on TV all the bloody time. They now know that if thy hold a press conference on any day ending in a ‘y’, they will be given endless coverage and broadcasting hours. All this for a party that could fit all of its MPs into a hatchback car.

I know it's only one issue amongst many but if paracetamol/Tylenol causes autism in pregnancy then what pain killers can pregnant woman take? Pain ladder just going straight to dihydrocodeine here?

The big question is how do we address this? Feels like we can see the BBC really changing it's tack this last year and making very little effort to challenge reform on these things.

There should be a high bar for politicians attacking the media, but maybe Ed Davey has half a point here? For example, the first three paragraphs of this BBC story repeat Reform's £243bn figure without saying that the thinktank behind the estimate now disowns it. (This is mentioned in paragraph 35)

Firstly, it's 'Prime Minister Starmer' to you. Secondly you can keep your Islamophobic tropes about our country to yourself. Your dismissive response on recognising the State of Palestine, coming from a man wanted by the International Criminal Court, proves our Govt was right.

Really think we should lean into the UAE comparisons that Reform is making. Does Britain want to be a dictatorship dependent on slave labour, that combines shiny skyscrapers with shantytowns? Is that the pitch?

It is genuinely absolutely bonkers that one year into a massive new government majority, all the discourse is about what will happen under the allegedly inevitable majority by another party. Much of it is the govt’s fault but not all - this very much has not happened under past unpopular govts!

Retrospective removal of Indefinite Leave to Remain from "hundreds of thousands of people" in the Reform plans is obscene. They talk about "preventing disruption to businesses" but have no regard for what this means for the people themselves, their families and communities which will be torn apart.

For 56 minutes Sky News and BBC News interrupted everything else and carried a Reform UK feed live, uninterrupted, unchallenged. The stream spluttered, froze, pixelated - dozens of times - still they stuck with it. FOR ONE HOUR. This is an editorial choice. No other party gets this coverage. ~AA

💯. Progressives have to stop franchising out their consciences to the courts. Politics is about moral choices. The problem with Reform's proposal isn't that "the courts won't allow it". It's that it's grotesque and inhuman. If we're democrats, we must believe that this argument can be won.

The true question right now is whether you believe in the moral character of the British public. If you do, you'll want to have the fight with Reform. You'll believe that the public will hate the idea of breaking up families, spying on & deporting people who've worked here for years.

My local MP put this out the other week

Starmer absolutely deserved criticism for not speaking up clearly and decisively last week But he also deserves credit for these articles and words now. Keep these messages up More press coverage in Sunder’s thread

Horrified that I've only just remembered that it's the 21st night of September.

So much of the commentary on Palestine today without much sense of the deep history. No this is unlikely to make much or any practical difference. But you can say this is a debt which has long been owed. The UK promised a Palestinian state a century ago when the British took on the mandate.…

Rightly a lot of comments that recognition of Palestinian state is a start but in no way enough. But also a reassurance that it's the right decision by Matthew Syed throwing a column out there condemning it immediately, while offering no other alternative route.

Rise of the Golden Idol DLC looking good

Share a preacher, priest or none.

I think we all know this ends with AI identifying that the most dangerous pathogen is H.Sapiens right?

Man the Sunday times opinion page really is dire stuff. Telegraph is at least completely batshit this is just depressingly targeted.

Like many folkloric traditions, people think the lib Dems have existed for centuries but really were made up by some guys in the 80s

Was going to post the 'there are dozens of us' gif but turns out Arrested Development didn't been make the list! It's truly a perfect 3 season show.

Oddly most annoyed by the bolded bit because I'd say those alive during the flood (all 8 of them) were probably impeccably dry.

Got to say I think Schumer and Jeffries numbers being bolstered by Pelosi here.

underneath all the doom and hideous stuff happening at the top of our country is a more inspiring story: regular Americans are not buying all this crap. and they're still willing to call the government out on it. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Just a cosy little human interest feature chatting to people who went to support a far right racist criminal thug What on earth is the BBC up to?

Hitchin is a beautiful part of our beautiful country 🇬🇧 But after last week’s scenes in London and pockets of disrespectful graffiti, our communities aren’t immune from the same fears felt by many. It’s important we all step up and showcase our values at their unifying best.

This headline is crazy to me because I've seen the size of Dundee seagulls. What arrogance would lead anyone to think we mere mortals could stop them?

Nothing makes you feel older then attending the third ALS course of your training with a bunch of docs doing their first ALS.

Scrapping of two-child benefit cap closer as Bridget Phillipson attacks ‘spiteful’ policy

Take a breath. Look behind the hostile headlines. What this government is on the verge of doing is to expand this one-in-one-out deal into, essentially, a safe and legal route from France. It is - and has always been - the only solution to dangerous crossings and what has been needed for years.

Feel like we should bring back the old twitter follow friday to boost good people on here who maybe didn't get an initial boost from the starter packs. So follow @psurridge.bsky.social and @profjanegreen.bsky.social - two excellent and thoughtful political scientists.

Listened to half of this on the way into work and it is a really good pairing with Quinns video review. Not in a place to play ttrpgs right now so honestly likely to get triangle agency just to enjoy the book itself.

Update on Your Party's new name

Unpopular opinion: 1)What is happening in America is hugely concerning. 2) It is in both Britain‘s and Europe's interest to work closely together. 3) Neither Brits nor Europeans can afford to openly break with the US right now. 4) Making the most of that impossible situation is very hard.

Breadmix and Tastybix

Dropout is the streaming service we have watched the most consistently and has SO much fantastic content on there. Game Changer, Make Some Noise, Very Important People, Gastronauts, Dimension 20, etc etc etc It is a far better use of your money in every case

My pitiful response to colleagues judgmental looks when I order a mocha

Cancel Disney plus, get Dropout

a canceled streaming subscription is easily converted to several spec fic magazine subs on patreon and similar services, some are as low as 1-2 bucks. the more you know.

Considering the number of stories suggesting he reigned from 2016-2024 but was also always on the edge of death, I feel some people have Joe Biden mixed up with the Emperor of Mankind from 40K

I disagree with Zarah Sultana on many things but I do kinda feel sorry for her wandering into battle with a bunch of people who've been doing Bennite factionalism for the last 50 years.

I just… what the fuck is even happening

the uk medical jobs problem in some graphs and numbers medical.hee.nhs.uk/medical-trai... blue - jobs available orange - applications (NB people can apply for multiple things)

It's your party and they'll cry if they want to.
