Urgh! The political decision to plunge children into poverty shouldn't be an 'option' for a Labour PM. The political decision to punish MPs who disagree shouldn't be an 'option' for a Labour PM. Principles matter. The determination to find Starmer's decency amid his actions to the contrary is wild.
The Devil incarnate? Perhaps not. But why defend him as a 'decent man'? He's not. Punishing MPs who want to fight poverty isn't 'decent'. Yes, he's a dreadful politician too but let's not pretend he's some bumbling fool who's otherwise 'decent'. That's dishonest!
Unfortunately she's silly with a platform, daddy's money to fund it, and so has potential influence. It's not the same as others being a bit daft. I agree she might be effed up by her dad, though.
I'm unsurprised Alastair Campbell's daughter Grace is a twit, tbh. It's sad to see any young women internalise misogyny the way she has. Her anger at older women is ugly, desperate. But, then, daddy is the war criminal friend of Peter Mandelson.

It's time for the Iran killing machine to end says the America killing machine.
Trump threatens to ‘blow up whole country’ if Iran does not sign deal - www.middleeasteye.net/live-blog/live-blog-upda...
Trump told Fox News: “If [Iran] don't sign the deal, then the whole country is going to get blown up.”
Why is this treated as even remotely acceptable by anyone?!?
Every single one.
The real lesson in little red riding hood is to not body shame the elderly
Ye gods. Manchester Evening News pitching a Britain First rally like it's a family day out rather than a fascist gathering.
What clownery is this now?
Manchester police are apparently determined to avoid a repeat of events the last time Britain First marched in the city.
Then, anti-fascists managed to repeatedly block the fascists and forced police to reroute the march.
Grace Campbell (Alistair Campbell's daughter) on her podcast.
"Freaks.... Ugly ugly ugly!" (talking about FWS and others celebrating SC victory).
That's a lot of internalised misogyny. Utterly toxic.
Isn't it grim?! There's so much of it.
The undrinkable in pursuit of the unthinkable.
"... Iranians knew they could not make any kind of dent in US mainstream media because they had been persistently portrayed as a terrorist state run by religious zealots for almost 50 years.
“Where they have really come in is hijacking the conversation and the narrative on the social media realm."
I've just bought tickets to see Joe Jackson. I've never been more excited.
Inclusivity and intersectionality shouldn't mean ignoring the basis of oppression since time immemorial.
"More than a fifth of all “austerity generation” British children have been scarred by poverty for at least half their childhood, a direct legacy of the welfare benefit cuts imposed by Conservative governments in recent years, research reveals." www.theguardian.com/society/2026...
Oh I agree it *should* anger them but they shift the goal posts so readily, and reveal a very flexible belief system, that I'm a bit surprised they didn't indulge Trump's egomania to suit their careers.
Interesting that this is angering the conservative Christians.
Politico: "Greater Manchester Police are reviewing a complaint about Reform’s competition to offer voters the chance to win free energy bills for their street." (The prize appeared to go to Reform party members)
Finally caught up on Emmerdale. I'm confused by a storyline. Dr Todd is right, Jacob is dreadful. Am I supposed to side with his character? #SackJacob
Trump is desperate to control his legacy, isn't he? He wants to rewrite future history books now. It might serve 'as a visual reminder of the noble sacrifices borne by so many American heroes' but he'll remain a draft dodger.
Dear Men, If you're keen to ensure the inclusion of trans identifying men, if you want to protect them from harm, if you want to be an ally, step up and ensure their safety in your single-sex spaces. Welcome them. Stop asking women to do that emotional labour. Stop dismissing women's boundaries.
I've written a book about the reporting of anti-poverty protests held in Stevenson Square, Manchester, during the Cotton Crisis. While I was there today I took some photos of said book in what is now a very different square.
Unfortunately Trump learned that threatening nuclear war didn't meet with much resistance from Republicans.
The astronauts are definitely spinning the mic because they don't want to speak to Trump, right?!
Those other politicians who don't confront and challenge this are, ultimately, okay with it ...
