I signed this letter calling on British and Irish govs to take action on Israel’s continued violations of international law. Specifically: 1) the issuing of tenders to build a new illegal settlement in Jerusalem, and 2) the Israeli gov’s ban on international NGOs in Palestine.

But it was a GOVERNMENT CONSPIRACY to erm… make our lives easier and ensure easy access to stuff we need. THOSE BASTARDS.

See, this is why I get Dr Strangelove levels of twitchy when people take the left-right model of political self-identity seriously. the labour party aren't taking on far-right policies as such, even taking them on as a tactical response to Reform UK: they're doing this because they think it's right.

Thank you to the more than 1,000 musicians who released this SILENT album to protest changes to copyright law that make it easier for AI companies to steal artists’ work to train their models.

I am extremely pleased the Government has started to *listen* and made no final decisions yet.

Not only would I be happy to replace Churchill on fivers with a badger, I'd replace the Churchill statue in Parliament Square with a big bronze badger AND I'd replace Ed Davey with an ACTUAL badger coz it'd probably vote in less austerity.

Salisbury church members object to Sunday parking fee plans Church members in Salisbury, Wiltshire, are concerned about proposed Sunday parking fee increases.

This reopens that old question: What would Jesus drive?

And the answer is simple if He wants to avoid parking charges: Jesus would come to church on a bicycle. Christ on a bike.

New data shows surge in trans kids’ suicides following healthcare rollbacks | Good Law Project A freedom of information request by Good Law Project has found that deaths by suicide of trans young people under 18 surged following the withdrawal of gender-affirming healthcare

wes streeting has killed more young girls than ian huntley.

@bphillipsonmp.bsky.social is intent on the same.

the only difference is they're doing it via policy and paper pushing so it's not treated as the crime it actually is.

but the pair of them are *knowingly* killing children.

Dear Shabana,
I notice today that you referred to me in your speech on immigration at the IPPR think tank.
You said: “A party leader should not be on the beaches of France encouraging people to
make a perilous crossing on small boats.”
I suppose I shouldn’t be surprised especially after the hateful Labour campaign in Gorton
and Denton, but this is just the latest in a string of lies peddled by a discredited Government
who intentionally fan the flames of racism and division.
When I went to Calais, I was not there to encourage people to travel to the UK. I was there
to see at first hand the suffering your Government and successive Governments have done
in demonising migrants in a pathetic bid to pander to the base instincts of Reform and the
flawed strategy of Morgan McSweeney.
As you will know, if you even bothered to research my visit instead of taking Reform talking
points, I was there to witness the brutality of families living in tents in freezing temperatures. I
filled water tanks and picked up litter.
What that visit did do is confirm my belief that if we are to smash the boat gangs and stop
the boats, we need to offer safer and managed routes for migrants to come to this country.
Showing compassion as a politician is not a crime. In fact, we need to see much more of it.
It reminded me of a young MP who in October 2015 spent three days in Lesbos helping
migrants fleeing war-torn Syria. She posted videos on X, talked about handing out water and
croissants to refugees and food parcels.
When she returned to the UK, she wrote a very moving piece in the New Statesman. She
said “we have to work with our European partners and create new, safe, and legal routes for
refugees to get to Europe. We cannot abandon them to their fate, left as prey for smugglers
whilst risking death on the seas.”
She said “maybe we can make ourselves feel better by saying no-one is making them get on
the boats. And again, the Home Secretary is not entirely wrong when …

Dear Shabana,

Let's clear some things up around migration and remember we're talking about people's lives.

This TERF Chinese spying thing is so great man. Being an asset for the Special Intelligence Service (toilets division). Doing transvestigation on your handler. Getting pouty when you're told that the code phrase can't be the Stanisland Question.

Exactly THIS! 👇

Although I think that if there are STILL members of #Labour who haven't quit after #Starmer took the party to the #Right, cosied up to the wealthy & pissed all over the electorate probably never will. They likely don't care.

For those remaining who DO care: join.greenparty.org.uk

I should probably clarify I’m talking mostly about a specific type of white USA person here, I’m sure plenty of people in the US are not like this.

I feel like 9 times out of 10 when Americans say Brits don’t use enough spices/seasonings they just mean their own taste buds are so numbed by all the salt, sugar and chilli they’re used to having on all their food that they can’t pick up on subtle flavours.

i have a highly scientific hunch that while a genocidal gaza policy obviously hurt harris/biden's support generally, it hurt them especially with People Who Give a Shit, i.e the people who would more usually be the ones volunteering & knocking doors & making sure their friends & family vote

Trolley Problem version.

Top Track: the most people

Middle Track: fewer people than above

Bottom Track: nobody

Trolley Problem version. Top Track: the most people Middle Track: fewer people than above Bottom Track: nobody

Labour: You see if Reform win, everyone gets hurt, but if u vote Labour only THOSE people get hurt. You'll be fine.

Voters: OH. Ok. And what about that empty track down there?

Labour: NO! DON'T LOOK AT THAT!! They want you to take drugs and have nuclear war in the park.

Two things can be true at once. People with Tourette’s often can’t control what they say. It’s incredibly distressing to watch the N word be shouted at Black people by white people in any circumstances, but particularly on national television. You can feel both of those things, I believe.
