Hodge, the govts anti corruption champion, defends cronyism & corruption at the heart of govt

The ambassadorship job didnt work out & even though it then became known Doyle had campaigned for someone charged with possessing indecent images of children Starmer gave him a peerage!

I saw this episode of Strip Law

FTSE bosses receive 18% pay bump this year in global fight for talent Companies are also watering down ESG elements of pay plans as boards reassess whether such awards ‘make sense’

FTSE 100 CEO average pay up 18% to £5.89m, less weight attached to environmental, social, governance targets.

Did your pay rise by 18%?

Workers produce wealth but get crumbs.

Need worker elected directors, worker vote on exec pay to secure equitable distribution.

Where else on Earth would a secret party-within-a-party collaborate with hostile media outlets on destroying its own electoral prospects; impose its leadership candidate via fraud; win national power, then explode in a welter of corruption allegations involving Russian oligarchs and sex traffickers

10 years ago, Prince left this planet and it hit me like a truck. I still miss him all the time.

in his honor, I’ll be listening to housequake on repeat. please do something sexy in remembrance, he would love that ☔️

Tweet by Martina Navratilova. "Predator. That is how he should register. A sexual predator…" quote-tweeting a tweet by "Biology Rules OK" about Dr. Beth Upton, a trans woman

This tweet is highly defamatory and Martina Navratilova should be fired from BBC Sport for it.

It demonstrates an horrendous level of hatred for a trans woman (who was cleared of all wrongdoing in a recent tribunal) because she is a trans woman.

lgb terfs are the worst kind of terf, using all the same hated, bile and propaganda against another member of the community that they once had thrown at themselves

They are the kind of people who will join in on bullying if it takes the bullies away from them

I truly despise them

“The MAGA crowd is made of dumb people — like, SUPER dumb people. And they fall for it.”

For my @wired.com feature debut, I talked to Sam, a guy who made thousands of dollars on Instagram by scamming MAGA men with Emily Hart, an AI generated, Trump-loving influencer. www.wired.com/story/ai-gen...

they told progressives to fuck off. so we did.

now they're telling white liberals to fuck off.

who's left?

the right won't vote for the labour party. ever. the right think labour are 'woke commie marxists'. keir starmer could tattoo a swastika on his forehead and they'd still call labour marxist.

Aside from everything else this is amazing timing. I couldn't have choreographed it better myself. What next, Yvette Cooper taking a dump in a cab?

Legitimate concerns when it's anti-immigrant.

"Fuck right off" when you're pro-immigrants.

This government is dysfunctional, deluded and deplorable.

so fucking tired of "legitimate concerns"

my concerns about this government are legitimate.

how about labour fucking deal with my concerns for a change instead of chasing the nazis on x?

Can Stonewall Mark II put trans wars behind it? New chair talks of consensus but she’ll have a tough job unpicking charity’s bullying stance Kathleen Stock In the history of gay rights, there have always been fearless souls willing to face down mobs of pitchfork-wielding fanatics, but perhaps none so brave as Kezia Dugdale, incoming chair of trustees at Stonewall. In an interview with The Guardian this weekend, the former Scottish Labour leader did the unthinkable and praised JK Rowling.

If you had any doubts that Stonewall is a danger to trans people, here is Kathleen Stock praisng them in the Times.

"When the gay rights cause first got going, the ideal was toleration"

This is precisely what Priti Patel and Kemi Badenoch did too, for exactly the same reason (they’re horrible people who behave horrendously, and this usually manifests itself as seething contempt for liberalism in general)

if it wasn't for those pesky bone spurs, he'd have smashed it in Vietnam so fast.
i hate Donald Trump so fkn much.

I am once again saying that letting fascists back into society when they pretend to be repentant like this will lead to the rise of fascism again. They are upset because Trump has made them look like the fascists they are. This does not mean they are on the side of morality and human rights suddenly

Tucker Carlson, Candace Owens, Nick Fuentes, Majorie Taylor Greene, Joe Rogan and those other podcast bros are all fascists who have simply recognised early that this will end badly for them if they don’t try to do some damage control now.

"Fanatics", "lunatics", "victims", "a sacred, unimpeachable caste".

To paraphrase Stephen King, Stock never met a pejorative noun she didn't like, especially when it comes to demonising her targets.

This is uninspired, gender critical dogma dressed up as an intellectual, reasoned article 😬

The opinion of someone very late to this, for whom the gay rights movement is merely theoretical, and who expressed physical revulsion at the sight of rainbow flags carries little merit.

She just knows the right people and says the right things 🤷‍♂️

She's also happy to use the 'r' word 😬

Absolutely fucking incredible that there's *another* nonce related angle to this.

RIP all the Starmer fans on Bluesky frantically wordsmithing their sad little takes about it’s the meeeedddiiiaaaa and Starmer is a stand up guy xx

Referring to LGBT+ people as "mentally ill" or "abnormal" is not "a discussion."
It's not "an opinion."
It's not "free speech."
It's not "debate."

It's hatemongering, with the clear and obvious intent to mark a minority out for subjugation, torture and violence.

Praising JK Rowling when asked a question on trans rights is akin to praising Anita Bryant when asked a question gay rights. No money to Stonewall. No Stonewall at Pride. They are already experiencing a funding crisis, and this chairwoman appointment should be their last. Traitors.

Rowling is an horrendous bigot who 6 years ago wrote an essay where she praised a woman who called trans people "pathetic, sick fucks." Rowling wants an end to all provisions for trans people, and to have them driven from society. Any LGBT+ org that doesn't get that are the enemy.

i agree that peter mandelson didn't need security vetting.

he's a known quantity and therefore should never have been a potential candidate to begin with.

Keir Starmer very much Chose not to know cause Knowing would make him responsible. Clever little lawyer man trick he thinks we’re all too stupid to see

Steven Swinford @Steven_Swinford 1m Sir Keir Starmer tried to make his director of communications - who had publicly supported a paedophile - an ambassador, Olly Robbins revealed This is a problem for Starmer, to put it mildly. He was already under pressure over his eventual decision to elevate Matthew Doyle to the Lords It means that Keir Starmer attempted to appoint two men who had friendships with sex offenders as ambassadors. It comes back to the fundamental question of his judgement The fact that No 10 told Robbins not to inform Yvette Cooper that he was considering an ambassadorship for Doyle is really quite something. Presumably No 10 inferred that Cooper would not appove of Doyle's appointment
