She could simply say "what a stupid question, I don't endorse political violence". The fact she didn't shows just what a vile person she is.
Almost certainly if someone joked about deporting *her* she'd (rightfully) be furious about it.

We're very concerned that Bridget Phillipson's new draft guidance could encourage schools to act in ways which would unlawfully discriminate against trans children.

the way I’m playing it right now and it’s so good
She keeps telling Labour MPs and all they have to back her disgusting policies to starve off the threat from Reform (doesn't work but still)...
and yet she objects to the same connection being made - that they're trying to get Reform voters. You're the one making the connection yourself!
Nothing is more infuriating than the Starmbot defence "Mandelson was appointed b/c Trump/Epstein"
You know that means:
(i) Starmer is lying about the whole "we didn't know about his links" if the appointment was 'good for Trump'
(ii) that you think it's acceptable to appoint child rape enablers
From a different social media platform:
Stonewall quietly changed its definition of transphobia last year to help allow the government to pursue its Wraparound Conversion Therapy policy.
The reason Dugdale has been appointed is to launder its *faux* Conversion Therapy ban.
Quislings…?
Can't wait to vote against the useless, corrupt, offensive and disgusting Labour party and vote for a positive Green vision in a couple of weeks
Need to see Labour lose now! I'm getting impatient
We're taking Green politics around the country.
And everywhere we go, it's clear:
Hope is here. It's all of us.
You have until midnight to register to vote!

Keir Starmer actually put this in a briefing to Labour MPs of 'useful questions to ask' today. The PM knew of Mandelson's relationship Epstein when he appointed him.
And yet thinks he can still exploit the grief of the victims. This is why he is not fit to be Prime Minister.
Like the Starmtroopers need to get a grip, your man is historically unpopular, so is your Government, it's shit, everyone can see it's shit, we don't even need the media to tell us it's shit, we can experience it ourselves
Reading the comment on The Guardian about Mandelson and co is hilarious, they've really whipped themselves up into thinking it's all okay because "the media is biased, they shouldn't bring down a PM"
Which is funny because they were all cheering it on when it was Johnson and co
"'Lots of people think Keir Starmer is a good man who is out of his depth,' said one Labour insider. 'Wrong. He’s an asshole who’s out of his depth.'"
Her office said the Office for Students (OfS), which regulates universities, had received reports of speakers and lecturers being harassed and blocked for holding gender-critical or religious views, of foreign interference suppressing academic freedoms, and of ideological belief requirements featuring in job advertisements.
The OfS will be able to use the new complaints scheme from September. From April, it will be able to fine universities the greater of £500,000 or 2 per cent of their income, which would amount to millions of pounds for large institutions, for breaches under the Freedom of Speech Act. Ultimately, universities could be deregistered for egregious cases.
Bridget Phillipson will introduce new laws to make it possible for Universities to be fined millions of pounds if they don't silence students who protest bigots invited onto their campuses. It's like the Tories never left office.
Just had a racist scream his head off walking down our street talking about how he’d burn everything down because of all the “africans, indians, asians” and so on.
Unhinged people, thankfully they’re a minority here

A big thank you to Hannah Spencer MP for signing our letter and standing in clear support of the trans+ community.
Like Hannah, many women from across the political spectrum have joined the 101,000+ UK women who have already signed our letter - Women in support of the trans+ community.
Asked if she understood why many trans people felt Rowling's approach had become cruel and dehumanising, and contributed to them feeling unwelcome and unaccepted, Dugdale said: “I understand that and I've also heard JK Rowling and other people who hold a different position on these issues to me describe with a similar rawness how they've experienced being opposed for their views. And I just think, the days of these culture wars, about sitting in polar extremes from each other, should be behind us now." She added: "When you look at our renewed strategy, it is about navigating this turbulence; it's about listening, it is about engaging.
![Asked about JK Rowling's opposition to trans rights, Dugdale said: "I have a huge respect for JK Rowling. I've had the pleasure of meeting her before and I think her story and how she came to be this prolific, incredible children's writer in this city as a single mum writing in a cafe is phenomenal and an inspiration to so many women across the world.
"I think she's been a really powerful political advocate [for] improving the lot of single mums, making a case for tackling poverty and inequality in all its forms, and there is absolutely a place for her in public life to share her experiences and tell her story and make a difference."
She called for "a bit of kindness, a bit of generosity of spirit, a willingness to get into the grey area to talk about these things calmly. To try and find common ground is the only path through this and it's one that I'm committed to."](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:gt5f4xsjqzwdwqsakypbknxm/bafkreigpcezez7q2gyoxprda7h5v7h44tfmgyir6daf6faqrwvg5izktnm)

If your starting point is that the lives and rights of trans and non-binary individuals are up for debate, and those seeking to erase them deserve to be listened to, then I would argue that you aren't actually as concerned about a rollback of rights as you claim.

Re. the "Greens are not green" bullshit.
Always worth a look behind the surface on anti-development / NIMBY complaints from right wingers like Labour members against environmentalists. There's almost always a very valid reason for the challenge.
Labour insider tells me the local government minister Steve Reed drafted a letter to all local authorities saying they must update their services in accordance with the ruling. But since this was an equalities matter it was passed to the OEO, which spiked it. OEO officials also invited…
Labour Together’s Steve Reed shortly after replacing Angela Rayner as local government minister, drafted a letter to demand local authorities to observe “BiOLoGiCaL SeX”.
I’m afraid you’re disputing what the clear evidence is based on your own beliefs - the scientific evidence is clear there can be *no* airport expansion, that aviation demand reduction is needed urgently, so yes it *will* wipe out gains from those other areas
SAF is a joke technology (and destructive!) that won’t do anything, and unsurprisingly aviation heads are already calling for the already weak targets to be watered down.
They’re still considering it - they didn’t have to, and they’re still doing tiebacks.
www.theplanner.co.uk/2025/02/03/a...
I don’t see how it’s credible to claim that airport expansion isn’t a major harm to the environment, when there’s going to be an increase in demand, more pollutants, any by definition has to wipe out gains from other areas
I mean, you are — tiebacks are very explicitly that, and so is the further development of oil fields like Rosebank and Jacksaw.
The Climate Change committee has previously explicitly stated that there should be no airport expansion, and there needs to be aviation reduction demands
Through expanding airports, watering down the EV pledges, and expanding oil drilling? How does any of that help the climate?
Labour’s doing a good job on renewable infrastructure but that’s not the only part of the situation, and unfortunately the former more than wipe out the gains of the latter
By expanding airports and refusing to implement any demand reduction measures whatsoever, watering down the pledges on EVs, expanding drilling in the North Sea? Sure…
It's hit £20,000 in just the first few hours.
Thank you so much for your donations! 💚🙌🏽

That sounds great! Will be watching the results live like the nerd I am and hopefully see some good gains! I’m helping with leafletting for our local party haha, and my ward is one of our targets
How is it there? The Greens do quite well here in Sheffield but how is it in Liverpool?
I’m in Sheffield!
