Thing is, Home Secretary, if you tell people like me to fuck right off, who supported the Labour Party precisely because it has historically been an anti-racist party (amongst other principles you have also jettisoned), we might just do that. And I don't think Labour can afford to lose our votes.

This was shit we were fighting twenty years ago. More than that, actually.

Photo I took of these wonderful people (the faces of whom I’ve blacked out) singing happy Birthday to their lovely old dog at a bar I was at tonight in Portland

Millions of lapsed Catholics realizing that they have become realigned with the Pope against their will

Owning cats will make it look like you don’t clean up after yourself.
Why has there been an envelope in the middle of the living room floor for the past two weeks, you ask?

There was literally a pangolin that flew combat sorties with the CIA in a dirty war in Laos that then died after drinking too much gin, so there’s at least one pangolin whose record is morally ambiguous

Donald Trump lashes out at Pope Leo on social media for criticism of Iran war [FREE TO READ] The head of the Catholic Church has emerged as a leading voice of opposition against US foreign policy
