I used to work somewhere where the contract allowed for random drug tests and breathalysers whilst on shift, and if you failed, you’d be sent home and face disciplinary measures. It’s wild the media think politicians should be held to a lower standard than employees at a fucking waxwork museum.

The Policy Exchange culture warriors that captured the Office for Students always had a clear agenda - to destroy free speech/academic freedom in order to "save" it. Wrote this in 2020. Sadly accurate, although let's hope yesterday's judgment is a turning point. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

I think one of the real challenges in discussing anything to do with trans people is that the media simply cannot accept that the anti-position is entirely eliminationist. There is no way to "exist in public whilst trans" that they will accept, right down to celebrating a doctor quitting.

I don’t live in Gorton & Denton, but I care about what happens there this week. The outcome for this election will really set the tone for UK politics in the coming years - Either division and hate, or community, hope and inclusion. This isn’t a safe Labour seat anymore. It’s a real three-way race.

BREAKING 🚨 The updated EHRC Code of Practice has now been sent to the Government. The Code is just as bad as we feared. It would mean a mandatory trans bathroom ban, and trans people's exclusion from public life. The impact would be devastating. But politicians still have time to stop this.

Today, along with over 80 partner organisations, we are writing to MPs across the UK, calling for robust Parliamentary scrutiny of the Equality and Human Rights Commission’s (EHRC) forthcoming Code of Practice on Services, Public Functions and Associations.
"Any change to law or policy that risks the human rights of any group should be subject to full Parliamentary oversight. ...
Anything less would represent a serious failure of parliamentary duty."What can you do? Write to your MP! Together, we have created a template letter that you can use to express your personal concerns and asking them to push for proper scrutiny of the Code.
It is incredibly important that MPs hear from their constituents that are directly affected, so they can advocate on your behalf. Please personalise your letter as much as you can - it helps to ensure that your concerns are heard and felt.

Oh nothing, just the actual Prime Minister telling people they’re entirely correct to drive asylum seekers out of their communities
From BBC news website:

I 'completely get' concern over asylum hotels - Starmer

Starmer is asked how he would feel if a hotel housing asylum seekers was at the end of his street.
"I completely get it," Starmer says, adding: "Local people by and large do not want these hotels in their towns, in their place, and nor do I. I'm completely at one with them on that."
Starmer says he understands why people want the hotels closed and he wants that too "as quickly as possible".
Asked to put a date on it, Starmer reiterates his commitment to do so by the end of this Parliament.
When it's put to him that is four years away, he says he would like to bring that date forward, but does not commit to another date.

Keir Starmer’s new director of communications isn’t just the founder of Portland Communications – which represented Qatar, Russia and Kazakhstan – he’s also come straight from the board of the anti-trans charity Sex Matters. The government is heading in a dark direction.
Archive screenshot from the Sex Matters website reading:

“Tim Allan
Trustee
Tim Allan’s career has spanned working as a senior advisor in 10 Downing Street for Tony Blair, running corporate communications for BSkyB and founding a communications consultancy, Portland, which grew into one of the most highly regarded global reputation-management consultancies. Since selling Portland, he has become an investor in the communications consultancy sector.”
