I somehow missed this one until it was mentioned in @whatthetrans.com Listening to the episode I’d assumed maybe it was buried within a longer motion that Labour abstained on for other reasons. But nope, they just happily let a motion pass that would have Bash Back be classed as terrorists.

How Burnham is going to try and balance proposals for a National Care Service, while supporting Mahmood's immigration policies is going to...interesting, and by "interesting" I mean fundamentally unworkable. It just cannot work with the hostile immigration policies being pushed.

I do have to question how @bphillipsonmp.bsky.social can claim she believes trans people should be treated with “dignity and respect”, seconds before saying she would ban trans women victims experiencing rape or abuse from shelters. It’s just so fucking blatantly dishonest and bigoted.

Genuinely - yes. The response of the British state to survivors and our families is that we should be glad to have escaped. The reality is that the British government didn't want our relatives then, accepted the bare minimum IF it cost them nothing, and now wants a pat on the back for it.

There is a genuine incomprehension amongst many journalists and politicians that anyone might care sincerely about Palestinians or seriously object to their indiscriminate slaughter. The natural human response to this genocide is something they simply cannot understand.

Not a clue. The idea that the Orange Order being allowed to march the route that sparked the unbelievably violent Drumcree standoff, 28 years after the peace agreement, is "lowering tension" is an idea based in complete cultural incompetence.

In fact, these are scenes we have not seen on British streets. Immigration needs to be deal with, I will be the first to say that and we are dealing with it. The boat crossings have been halved since six years ago, net migration is down massively.

The key difference between Burnham and Starmer is that Burnham does more nicer things and is better at talking about them. But alongside the nice things, he's also still doing the same bad, in some cases unforgivably awful, things as before.

British politicians truly have no grasp on how to handle the sensitivities in the North of Ireland. When you snark like this, you’re not snarking at a political party. You’re doing so at 50% of the population. It’s basically saying “we’re in charge, know your place” to the nationalist community.

You can't give them some concessions and go back to the status quo: they're reactionary revolutionaries.

“It is very appalling and sometimes quite frightening to see how trans-exclusionary feminists have allied with rightwing attacks on gender” Today is exactly 5 years since @theguardian.com censored the words of non-binary academic, Judith Butler. These are the censored words. Still valid now.

It is very appalling and sometimes quite frightening to see how trans-exclusionary feminists have allied with rightwing attacks on gender. The anti-gender ideology movement is not opposing a specific account of gender, but seeking to eradicate "gender" as a concept or discourse, a field of study, an approach to social power. Sometimes they claim that "sex" alone has scientific standing, but other times they appeal to divine mandates for masculine domination and difference. They don't seem to mind contradicting themselves.
The Terfs (trans exclusionary radical feminists) and the so-called gender critical writers have also rejected the important work in feminist philosophy of science showing how culture and nature interact (such as Karen Barad, Donna Haraway, EM Hammonds or Anne Fausto-Sterling) in favor of a regressive and spurious form of biological essentialism. So they will not be part of the coalition that seeks to fight the anti-gender movement. The anti-gender ideology is one of the dominant strains of fascism in our times. So the Terfs will not be part of the contemporary struggle against fascism, one that requires a coalition guided by struggles against racism, nationalism, xenophobia and carceral violence, one that is mindful of the high rates of femicide throughout the world, which include high rates of attacks on trans and genderqueer people.
The anti-gender movement circulates a spectre of "gender" as a force of destruction, but they never actually read any works in gender studies. Quick and fearful conclusions take the place of considered judgments. Yes, some work on gender is difficult and not everyone can read it, so we have to do better in reaching a broader public. As important as it is, however, to make complex concepts available to a popular audience, it is equally important to encourage intellectual inquiry as part of public life. Unfortunately, we are living in anti-intellectual times, and neo-fascism is becoming more normalized.

One for people to ponder what the hell these people thought they were doing

When asked whether people putting up the Union and St George's Cross flags in the wake of asylum hotel protests could be considered racist, Sir Keir told BBC Radio 5 Live: "I am supporter of flags."
Read more: The reason England flags are being flown everywhere explained
He added: "I am the leader of the Labour Party who put the Union Jack on our Labour Party nembership cards. I always sit in front of the Union Jack. I've been doing it for years, and it attracted a lot of comment when I started doing it."
The Prime Minister also said his family has "got St George's flag in our flat" in Downing Street.
