"trans rights is a boutique issue" yet every time someone on here says they aren't voting for a transphobic dem there's a massive crashout from libs going "you're gonna cause the dem to lose!!!" both can't be true!

I don't know why people don't get it. Trans folk do not exist as a sacrificial lamb for your safety. The sheer amount of privilege to demand that Trans vote against themselves because "at least I will be ok" is wild. Field better candidates, or else if I'm not safe, you're not safe.

I remember sitting in the car on election day 2017 saying to Mrs R: this is our last chance, it’s either this or the abyss. And really that was naive, it was the last puny gasp of any final pretence that we do not live at the bottom of the chasm, and we haven’t been there my entire adult life.

Heat pumps and insulation would cut UK living costs more than new oilfields, study suggests
Warm homes plan would create 50,000 jobs, compared with about 1,100 for Rosebank oilfield, thinktank finds Insulating Britain’s homes and investing in heat pumps would do more to cut the cost of living, create jobs and boost the UK’s economy than drilling for new oil, research suggests. The government’s £15bn warm homes plan, currently under threat of cuts as ministers seek budget savings, would slash £1bn a year from household energy bills across the UK, concentrated on those on low incomes, according to research by the thinktank E3G. It would also provide a £1.6bn yearly boost to the economy, and about 50,000 new jobs spread across thousands of small businesses. Continue reading...

It’s just a display of force. Fuck you: we are in charge and we decide. Don’t like it? Fuck you again. And there’s no major dissent about it because the whole project sprang from the press themselves. This is their riot, so of course they approve and want more. Much more, in fact.
